Johann Sebastian Bach Ouverture nach Französischer Art, BWV 831 Marco Mencoboni Harpsichord

[@petermeszaros5583]

I like how he´s just sitting in a regular garden chair

[@z853c7]

Very undignified, but whatever

[@konst1887]

You can hear an orchestra if you listen close enough - Stunning!!!

[@sultanalamos170]

Lo más grande, de mayor inspiración de Bach, son sus Preludios, pensativos, expresivos. El maestro Marco Mencoboni tiene una comunicación intensa con el maestro. A Bach, nótese, le gustaba mucho lo italiano. Ese acento lo aporta el maestro Marco. Desde Chile 🇨🇱 , muchas gracias, Marco. Viva Italia 🇮🇪.

[@robertollorens4725]

Quelle fidèle et élégante intérprétation de Bach. Tante Grazie. Cordialement.

[@Gabry2138]

Grazie a Johann Sebastian per averci donato BWV831. Grazie, Maestro Mencoboni, per questa interpretazione meravigliosa. Grazie, grazie!!!

[@jdgidehaz5333]

Admirable (le claveciniste et le clavecin!). Quand Bach l'allemand écrit de la musique à la française et qu'elle est jouée par un Italien on se met à rêver à une certaine Europe!...

[@aaronpeta]

I've listened to this piece throughout my life since childhood and every time I return, I discover an infinity of universes within. Bach was of another level that we humans cannot fully grasp.

[@yvesfeder1385]

It is a marvel. Supremely expressive, and a rhythmic vitality that elevates the interpretation to a practically divine level. Lovely sound of the instrument as well! Having been the recording person at the Yale Collection of Musical Instruments for 30 years I have heard many - many! harpsichord performances and there is no doubt Marco Mencoboni sits up there on Olympus at the right hand of Apollo! Brilliant performer.

[@diegoteruel7069]

Totally agree. Mencoboni is not the best, because he is imcomparable, unique. Nobody has his art, passion and sensitivity, a marvel of expression. We love Mercoboni!!😍😍🥰🥰

[@IamAlessandro1]

Unglaublich diese Interpretation; just perfect! Dieser Rythmus, die kleinen Verzierungen, nicht zu viel - nicht zu wenig, diese grossen, perfekt gesetzten Bögen und diese Ruhe beim Spiel, einfach ganz grossartig, perfekt. Seine Interpretation berührt einen sehr, sehr tief (mich jedenfalls) und man bemerkt, Marco Mencoboni spielt nicht nur sehr, sehr gut sondern er "versteht" diese alte Musik auch intus. Gracie Mr. Mencoboni, salute! :)

[@sdjfisjekskj2688]

The spaces between notes, even in fast sweeping passages, are so critical to baroque interpretation and he executed them so perfectly. The piece feels like it is alive and breathing with such an articulate expression. Bravissimo!

[@jsb7975]

The right words !!

[@paavobergmann4920]

Oh my , I like Mencoboni´s performances so much.

[@zurich5607]

He’s swingin’!

Merci beaucoup !

[@doremi930]

Muchas gracias Musica inspirada en matematicas..medios tonos q suben y bajan...armonias perfectas..Un grande Bach...para sanarnos de caos internos...con prolija pureza...

[@ChAlkan]

Der Mann auf dem Gartenstuhl macht mir gute Laune.

[@charlie_saito]

I totally sympathize with the 16th-note inegal technique after entering the overture three beats. I felt like I was hearing the original performance of this piece for the first time.

[@yvesfeder1385]

How can it be more and more beautiful every time I listen to it? What an inspiration, Signore Marco - !!!!!

[@aurorasperduto6713]

Che meraviglia!!! Grandiosa interpretazione!!

[@maiko4130]

Why is he so good and I never heard of this artist before? Usually don’t care for harpsichord but his sound is sooo colorful and 3 dimensional! And the rhythm!! Wow!!

[@emmanuelsales149]

Un claveciniste extraordinaire.

[@quazart_piano]

Quelle merveille !! Cette interprétation est fabuleuse, unique !!!

[@diegoteruel7069]

I love Marco Mencoboni!

[@georgepower8027]

The music and the sound in that room of thew Palazzo really transports you back to Bach's time. Bravo Marco Mencoboni, such a wonderful rendition of this work.

[@parcivalg.5659]

Che meraviglia! Bravissimo maestro Mencoboni; divino J.S.Bach.

[@youexx]

Les mains et l'esprit de Marco sont les antennes de son âme..............

[@alfredoa.potthoff6709]

just wonderfull, almost mystic. Perfect in any way! 🎀🎀 B R A V O!!🎀🎀

[@francoisvaillancourt7309]

This performance is now the best interpretation of this work I have heard. The articulations and exceptional quality of the many thoughtful ornamentations effortlessly executed makes this an exceptional performance. The well rounded and pleasant sound of the instrument a delight. Bravo!

[@HDougMatsuoka]

Wandering through the KZbin wasteland I discovered this. How is it that something like this can produce both light and cooling shade? It's so wonderful for Bach's music to find such expression through you. Thank you very much.

[@dannysilverstein404]

mencoboni lifts up the work of Bach to a level not known before. SUPERB performance.

[@MitchBoucherComposer]

Your performance is simply spectacular. I admire that you've got the whole work memorized---I would love to do what you do, one day.

[@yves921]

JS Bach dans toute sa splendeur, un immense bravissimo ! Merci de tout coeur pour cette si belle interprétation !

[@sreckamarbob6665]

Simplicite, clarte, la musique pure...

[@Mase251]

That Passepied though, what an incredibly nice piece of music!

[@martinsilvalezama4496]

Excellent!

[@Mase251]

and what a wonderful instrument, nice sounding, beautifully crafted!

Without a doubt one of the most successful and beautiful interpretations that I have heard of this work, wonderful phrasing and absolute and correct freedom. The instrument is exquisite. Bravo.

[@nicola84palm]

Esecuzione splendida e brillante!

[@jimbo2629]

Sublime music, sublime performance, sublime instrument.

[@SlateFx]

Listening to this piece played well is about the closest we can get to heaven on Earth, absolutely magical playing.

[@davidhertzberg]

Magnificent performance.

[@IamAlessandro1]

Wonderfull, extra, super excellent! Fantastic rhytmic, strong and elegant. GRACIE Signore Mencoboni. :p

[@stephen_mulvahill_pianist]

Such an inspiring performance on every level. I have listened to and watched this recording over and over as I am preparing this piece, and you re-inspire me every time with new insight into Bach's profound and beautiful sound world. Thank you, Sig. Mencoboni, for this masterful recording!

[@alexandreguimaraes9141]

Técnica impecável e uma sonoridade "de outro mundo"! Bravíssimo!

[@pietromeldolesi4064]

Meraviglioso, grazie Marco!

[@joshcortezmusic8697]

Best interpretation

[@organopleno2000]

Et encore superbe !!!

[@alexandreguimaraes9141]

Bravíssimo! O último movimento "Echo" é arrebatador!

[@sergiocattapan1192]

Signori, qui abbiamo il miglior cembalista dai tempi del maestro Bach

[@gerardleeflang3196]

Genius interpretation played on a beautifully sonorous harpsichord. What a joy to hear this!

[@caesare1968]

Excellent, thank you very much !!!

[@fredericolourenco1972]

Marco Mencoboni is simply the most fabulous musician. Harpsichord purists will doubtless raise their eyebrows at the way the keys are hammered and pounded (how did no plectra get broken during this recording?!), but the verve, the forward sweep, the sheer excitement of the music-making is electrifying. I'll always listen to Mencoboni playing ANYTHING, again and again. What a genius.

[@yvesfeder1385]

Bravissimo!!!! Completely channeling the very essence of Bach's conception and beauty! Magnificent!

[@frida2804]

Not many words to say. Simply: Bravo e Grazie caro amico!

[@riccardocollu8610]

Like the others present in this channel, this is an incredible interpretation, the world definitely needs more of this beauty!

[@IamAlessandro1]

Masterpiece! excellent playd, gracie

[@farshadnazridoost8966]

He is great

[@jonliinason3]

Quelle présence, merci bien!

[@HAThorsten]

Again fantastic! But still better is your pasta tonno-recipe

[@petawire]

Who IS this guy?! This is one of the greatest interpretations ever. Blown away. Dare I say, on par with Kipnis!

[@GGibert]

I just falled in love with this person, right today !

[@youexx]

FAr far far FAR superior to Kipnis - whose recordings were super super edited and spliced....... I knew Kipnis pretty well (as a harpsichord maker) and I know Marco's playing pretty well too :) - you might say he is the "Dean" of harpsichordists in Italy - and as Peter Ustinov used to say, "perhaps in all of Europe" :) You will note that Marco's playing here is live - !!!!!!!

[@phpn99]

Outside of the evidence he's a natural and rare talent, he studied with the greatest. Aeons above Kipnis, on par with the very best - Leonhardt, Gilbert, Ross, Pinnock, Koopman; with honorable mention to Rousset, Staier, Tilney, Dantone and Rondeau

[@SocratesFil]

What a beautiful piece!

[@markwahren8457]

Fantastic

[@lisadispigno3285]

suono glorioso!!!

[@farshadnazridoost8966]

I forgot to listen to the song ,when watching his playing & concentration with closing eyes

[@speju]

Superb!

[@deutsch.direkt]

genial!

[@pollywanda]

Man's hands and mind are wonderous to behold.

[@KrisVanMoerbei]

You are beautiful.

[@wolkowy1]

Bravo! I like the careful way(s) you free your interpretation from the 'Bachi-restrictions' without 'hurting' his inner massive building, and the careful silent moments (their duration) between (and after) the chapters. Thanks a lot for this fine upload. By the way, if I may ask - is Riccardo Mencoboni (sound) your brother? and, is Assessorato alla Bellezza refers to "fine arts"?

[@cantarlontano]

wolkowy1 thanks a lot for all your comments. Yes Riccardo is one of my brothers and the assessorato alla bellezza is fine arts/ culture. Ciao

[@lisadispigno3285]

is there strictly audio available of this anywhere / in any format ?

[@paulogazola]

Andras Schiff at the piano, and Marco Mencoboni at the harpsichord. What else?

[@MorganHayes_Composer.Pianist]

Both are marvellous, I agree. This video is an exciting discovery. Nature of great music is that it can withstand many interpretations. I’ve also enjoyed Sokolov and Weissenberg ( very good in the bouree) .

[@thepianoman6958]

Where did this harpsichord come from?

[@cantarlontano]

Bruce Kennedy!

[@Thys1995]

Sounds absolutely beautiful, full, the overtones and the balance between the Basso and the Discanto are astonishing! Very nicely played! Bravissimo!

[@louiscouperin3731]

Hmmm...l see you’re not the real Beethoven…

[@alessandrotesta63]

Am I wrong or he is playing with the “Mano Frescobaldiana”?

[@severussnape6886]

This tuning is quite unfamilliar to me, it is obviously not A=415Hz. Can I know what is the tune applied on this performance?

[@cantarlontano]

Look the video until the end please

[@Finger112]

It is Baroque French Tuning, A=392Hz.

[@madaboutvoice]

Lovely playing but pity about the acoustics. There is so much reverberation to nearly distort the real sound. A few curtains or hanging tapestries here and there would have solved the problem to some extent.

[@TheMuston]

The melodics are lost in the Ouverture.

[@ChAlkan]

Is he blind?

[@diegoteruel7069]

Not only is he not blind, they have an absolute and beautiful clairvoyance. A mervellous artist, full of beauty and inmense artistic true. An incomparable genius. I love Mercoboni!😘😘😘
