I vividly remember hearing Karl Richter live in Firenze in 1974, where his interpretation of Bach’s fugues was so dynamic and spirited that it felt revolutionary. His performance infused such rhytmic joy and energy into the pieces that the audience couldn’t help but respond with enthusiastic applause, so much so that the presiding priest felt compelled to raise his hands, as if to ask for forgiveness for the excited crowd.

@@freezafrezado9472 Search this in KZbin and you'll understand the difference in sound, between historic authentic harpsichord and non-authentic one (I chose for comparison the same musical work): Johann Sebastian Bach Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue in d minor, BWV 903, Marco Mencoboni, For a general information: in the mid of the 20th century, there was a revival of the harpsichord (as well as other music-instruments from the Baroque-era) for performing Baroque music. The first models were heavily-constructed, had external pedals like in a piano (for changing registers and doubling them) and had strong metallic sound which could compete the piano in concert-halls, due to the materials of the inner components - these were the non-authentic (like those made by "De Blaise" company, for ex.). At around the 70' of the 20th century, musicians began to demand authentic sound of the Baroque-era which were lighter and more gentle (though - less strong) and builders began to reconstruct authentic instruments, based upon original historic models.

Some here are discussing whether this instrument is an "authentic" harpsichord. It is an interesting question if it gets to capturing the essence of Bach's intention in the music. I am not a musicologist, but I will share what I believe to be true. * There were different styles of harpsichord in the 17th century, some with one keyboard, others with two keyboards. Pedals were provided with some of the instruments to give access to an added set of strings * Bach had expressed that he loved the clavichord, which is a precursor of the piano. The clavichord allows volume control because the strings are struck rather than plucked. But clavichords were very soft in volume, so they could not be used in concert * Bach as a rule did not specify what instrument should be used to perform a piece, so he would have been OK if this and other keyboard pieces were played on clavichord or harpsichord * One could think that Bach might have relished the futher development of soundboards and key action that led to the piano. The clavichord allowed more expressiveness than the harpsichord but was too soft for public performance. So if early pianos were available to Bach (which they were not) would he have written a "Well-Tempered Piano" or its equivalent? Would he have enjoyed playing the Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue on a piano, or even on an enhanced harpsichord? Bach was an explorer in many ways, as this piece and the 4th Brandenburgh Concerto 1st movement show. He even wrote a Catholic Mass and it was one of the last pieces he worked on. So who can say with certainty that the modernized harpsichord is "wrong" with a composer who loved challenges and new ways of expressing? So what I am trying to point to, with the above, is that an "inauthentic" harpsichord may be in keeping with the spirit of Bach's musical intention, and in the end what matters is finding the best way to express the essence of the music. Each performer can do so with a range of choices of instrument, although I would not imagine, for example, playing this piece on the organ

@@OldPannonian Bach's sound and instrument choices for music involved very deep, arguably darker notes. Some required a bass that required 2 or more people to operate just to get the notes right. It has been a debate among many metalheads if Bach was in a modern age with the instruments of say the 80s or 90s, if his sound direction would've evolved into metal or if he'd have stuck with more traditional sounds of those eras. I can see it, personally, but I also think it would've popularized melodic metal, rather than let many popular forms of metal people know today that rely on trill, djent or other techniques that really don't translate into other instruments.

Thanks, Tom---I certainly agree. Now that I've had a chance to hear this performance again, I'm afraid I find it lacking. Richter's reputation precedes him, of course . . . which is why it is with disappointment that I point to the rushing of the early portion of the Fantasia, and the too-great difference between the two registers there. The tempi seem more calculated to accommodate his ability or state of preparation, from one minute to the next, rather than to an overarching scheme that would bring the whole together as a single statement. In the Fugue, by contrast, I can't easily tell the difference between the two registers, which makes me wonder how he decided when to use each. Helma Elsner's recorded performance might be my favorite; Landowska's is of course unique. She cannot in any event be accused of rushing thoughtlessly through any piece of music, including this one; on the contrary she relishes every moment of it. Why Richter should seem to be thinking that he has better things to do with his time is a complete mystery to me . . .

+anachreon01 In fact, Karl Richter always played Bach using modern instruments (for example, he played Brandenburg concerti with valved descant horns, strings with modern bows, piccolo trumpet), his performances were NOT historically informed.

I actually really love the sound of the '16 ft stop. it gives the chords so much more depth and its so cool.
