MANUEL DE FALLA PLAYS HIS HARPSICHORD CONCERTO - 1930

[@michelledurand9408]

Une musicalité généreuse et débordante... un compositeur au talent immense... j'adore...

[@paulprocopolis]

An important historical document!

[@lorenzopone869]

I knew just a few days ago about the existence of this recording... and now... here it is!

[@berlinzerberus]

Nice to know that! :-)

My 78 copy just arrived in the mail. I’m on my lunch break and thought I would give it a listen here while I enter it my database.

[@Mezzotenor]

This is wonderful! The only surprise for me as to interpretation is that the middle movement is a tad slower than how it's typically done these days. MANY THANKS for posting - I've been a fan of this piece since I was a teenager. Never mind how long ago...!

I just heard this on WKCR, Columbia University radio station! Rather eclectic programming!

I don't think a work like this could even be conceived of on the historically designed harpsichords of today.

[@lylecohen1638]

Of course. To perform a historically accurate interpretation of this you would need a historically inaccurate harpsichord.

[@francisgarnier308]

The answer is quite evident . The "partition" indicates ff, fff, ffff, which requires a "modern" harpsichord."Evident, my dear Watson" !

[@rickrobertsoncollection5320]

It was written for Wanda Landowska, who played a huge contemporary Pleyel harpsichord, so there you have it.

[@BachintoshCharliePan]

Is your the copy of the recording? Who did you transfer it to digital? Was it on a CD?

[@berlinzerberus]

Yes, it was!

[@kaleidoscopio5]

Great stuff. Where did your find this?

[@francisgarnier308]

C'est là un enregistrement extrêmement connu, my Dear !
