Natalia Lipnitskaya plays Les barricades mystérieuses by François Couperin on a 2020 Dominik Wurth

[@ForestMyths]

Natalia plays this slower than most of the recordings I've heard, both guitar and piano. The way she plays it is so incredibly elegant and passionate. I love this performance.

[@peterpeaceful2971]

Yes. Elegant and graceful. The notes seem to have room to breath and sparkle.

[@timothymarkonis3630]

I completely agree with both of you.

[@christopherjones534]

Very difficult piece, for me , haven’t given up.

[@christopherjones534]

bravo

[@rossmcintyre1710]

What perfectly suits the tempo on the guitar I think wouldn’t on the piano. I have so many variations of this piece. It is sooo French even seductive for music of that era. Bach and the Germans, who I love, but this delightful piece of romantic elegance was a shock to me when I first heard… This presentation is beautiful…..

[@ClassicalGuitar1111]

Evidence that feeling is more important than speed

[@martinwalsh1231]

Just watched again. Exceptional.

[@rossmcintyre1710]

A passionately elegant bravissimo Russian Ballerina playing the beautiful elegant French composition.

[@nickworley1000]

I heard many versions on U tube and yours is by far the best xx

[@RodolfoLimacbx]

Probably the unique time that a interpretation of this piece makes me cry! Thank you, Natalia!

[@tumppuuu]

Perfect tempo and expression. Let's you soak in all the good. Just wonderful.

[@mnichy888]

Love love love this interpretation

[@richardstarr407]

This a real treat for me since I've been working on this piece for months, trying to revive my technique. The video is wonderfully clear enough to see exactly how she solved some fingering issues. Her ornamentation is precise without being showy, which I have to work on. Then the interpretation. It's a harpsicord piece often played on piano which gives more options for interpretation. There are many versions online by guitarists.(There is even a performance on marimba!). Most play it fast and some treat it as a gymnastic finger exercise. Natalia, I like your careful and very sweet performance of Barricades is beautiful, a performance the piece deserves.

[@richardle5842]

Which arrangement is she using?

[@paullee6256]

So beautifully played. Lovely unique tempo. Just beautiful music.... Thank you

[@robst247]

Sublime - an act of love!

[@thecommandocourse]

This is by far the most beautiful rendition of this piece I have heard! Thank you so much!!

[@luckylicks3497]

Completely opposite of what could be played in a boring way. Perfect marriage of simplicity and complexity. Thank you

[@janwillemheijbroek9107]

I love the way you play this Natalia! So romantic, subtle, sensitive and poetical! I am deeply impressed! It is touching your soul. The tempo and rhythms are just perfect! Very addictive music, I can listen to this for hours and hours. Thanks a lot for uploading this gem!

[@Josuefons]

If you keep playing with that mix of technique, restraint and passion, I think you are destined to be one of the greats. Absolute congratulations!

Beautiful -- simply beautiful. One of my all time favorite pieces!

[@АндрейУгорский]

Браво Наталья. Вы пронзили мое сердце музыкой Куперена!

[@OmarFlores348540]

I felt her soul comunicates the meaning of the song rather well.

[@TalentedDilittante]

Brava, brava, brava Ms Lipnitskaya! Your phrasing is soooo beautiful. many fine players treat this mechanically, without phrasing . . . whereas you play Les Barricades the way I've always heard it in my head. (Let me be honest: better than I've heard it in my head.) Thank you! I wish I could hug you.

[@robertopetracco32]

Toccante, emozionante: è una musica che fa sperare nel l’umanità!

[@StevenBornfeld]

Wonderful! And what I wouldn't give to have those cross-string trills!

[@gilbertbiberian5431]

Lovely playing Natalia.

[@TwinsunianT]

This made my day... Beautiful piece and well performed ornamentation!

[@jameshutchins3396]

My heart melts when Natalia plays. No one comes close to her passion. Thank You!!!

[@henryquenin6580]

Originally composed for the harpsichord by Couperin, this adapts beautifully to the guitar. And the playing is top shelf. Thank you.

[@mekydro]

Wow, one of my favourite pieces of music when played on guitar. So well played, Natalia, and a lovely interpretation too! Thank you so much for posting this.

[@Haze-hazel]

I'm learning classical but just spent 6 constant hrs writing a 12 bar blues piece with classical, jazz, some rock blending in, and I'm dead and this is so soft and perfect.

[@antoniofellini5484]

Beautiful performance.

[@byrusmx]

Qué increíble interpretación. La suavidad y lentitud con que se ejecuta son absolutamente maravillosos.

[@elisebaugh445]

The first time I heard les barricades it brought up so much emotion. I’m mot strictly a classical music person but once and a while I find a piece that truly moves me. Natalie’s version does that and more. I listen to it over and over again. Sometimes I wonder how many of the 33 k views of this clip were me

[@LePeteMul]

I feel so emotionnal every time i hear a version of this piece. Thank you for this moment of grace.

[@elisebaugh445]

same, makes me cry for some reason

Unfortunately I don't understand much about classical music, so I can't really judge about this performance. I only know that I love it. 🙂

[@datdang9113]

don't judge music or musicians, just enjoy it

[@robertsen7268]

@@datdang9113 That's what I do. Sorry if I used the wrong word (judge), I had to use the Google translator.

[@terrymarshall6664]

That is the goal of music - if it speaks to your heart and soul, then it has done what it needs to do.

[@timothymarkonis3630]

It's a gorgeous treatment of an equally gorgeous piece. Slower than most, and more deeply felt IMHO.

[@martinwalsh1231]

Lovely.

[@martinwalsh1231]

Exellent.

Natalia you do play beautifully. Do you have your own channel? Do you ever come to Spain for concerts? Absolute fan; clean, musical sound perfect. Que envidia!

Hi, thank you for uploading this incredibly beautiful rendition of Couperin's little masterpiece. Can you tell me who made this arrangement for guitar?

Hi, I loved the piece, to be honest this is the first time I ever heard it!!!! Magnificent execution!!! May I ask the brand and code of the strings you are using in your guitar??? Congratulations!!!! A special Regards from Guatemala!!!!!!!
