Les barricades mystérieuses - Harpsichord vs piano : which sounds better?

[@Whatismusic123]

there's no question, the harpsichord. especially the scott ross recording

[@Todd1356]

Even though I’m a pianist, I prefer the crispness of the harpsichord. The piano sounds good, but muddled for this piece.

[@pascualodoghertycarame40]

La buena música suena bien en todas las versiones. He escuchado otras, para laud barroco, tiorba o guitarra, también muy apreciables. Y, aunque todas me gustan, me quedo con la magia tímbrica del clavecín.

Harpsichord :)

It is obvious it was written for harpsichord; it is obvious my preference... 🙂

Vorrei aggiungere anche che il suono misterioso del clavicembalo,con la fantasia mi riporta alla corte splendida di Re Sole

[@mrmaestro04]

I myself am forced to use a piano, as I don't own a harpsichord (electronics don't count here), but the harpsichord version is the winner.

[@Zoom_1012]

I am always partial to the harpschord.

[@brandonwemyss6681]

harpsichord feels more kinetic. Piano has more depth. i love them both

[@telemasterclass]

Great that you didn't fall into the trap of choosing one or the other Brandon 😉

[@juansueiro2682]

It depends on what instrument you are used to. Some people find the harpsichord timber ringing, metallic. I, for one, don't care much for Goldbergs on piano. It's mostly a matter of personal taste.

[@mrsegraham3823]

Wow, they sound like 2 different pieces! I think I prefer the piano version, but the harpsichord is also very enjoyable to listen to. Is there much difference in playing technique? Which do you prefer to play?

[@telemasterclass]

Hi Mrs Graham! Yes the technique is different because of the different mechanics of the keyboards. I was born a pianist, but couldn't do without the harpsichord. In fact I think piano and harpsichord couldn't live without each other 😅

Avevo scritto un commento distinguendo le due esecuzioni (pianoforte -clavicembalo ) come mai è stato eliminato? Se i miei commenti non sono graditi elimino la mia iscrizione con immenso dispiacere

[@telemasterclass]

Ciao Enzo, ho visto la notifica dei due commenti ma riesco a leggerne solo uno, e c'è scritto modificato. Peccato perché mi sarebbe proprio piaciuto leggere il primo.

[@telemasterclass]

Non dipende da me che sia visibile solo il secondo.

[@jeanbacon1286]

Personally I have always preferred the sound of the piano, and I like the piano version of this piece better!

[@telemasterclass]

Interesting! We're preparing a few more of these piano vs harpsichord videos, curious to see if the harpsichord can win your heart 🙂

[@jeanbacon1286]

@@telemasterclass Looking forward to seeing them!
