Padre Soler - Fandango - Jean Rondeau (live performance)

Szkíták zzenéje. Csak magyarul érthető a szóis. Fandangó: fán dobogón való ritmos kidongatás, kitáncolás.

I don't even know how this was possible. Both the composition and the execution. Pure ecstatic musical madness! My mind is officially blown.

Padre Antonio Soler composed the best Fandango I've ever heard. Jean Rondeau performs it with the madness and brilliance it deserves. Bravissimo!

Padre Soler wrote this piece to be entertaining. It emulates, using a harpsichord, the sound of a flamenco guitar with fast finger work duplicating the strumming of the guitar strings. The piece is not cast in stone but is a framework for improvisation. What the harpsichordist does with it is the product of his skill and creativity. Jean Rondeau is blessed with both.

​@@ThibautKurt23 No existía la guitarra flamenca, pero si existia ya la guitarra popular al estilo barbero, de rasgueados rítmicos y obstinatos en las cuerdas gruesas tocadas con el pulgar. Esta guitarra acompañará más tarde al canto flamenco que no es otra cosa que la transformación estilizada del folclore español como las seguidillas, boleros y fandangos.

Absolutely astonishing performance. As I listen to this piece, I hear a composer, who was also a priest, lost in ecstatic spiritual ecstasy. The quality of the composition is improvisational. It doesn't follow conventional form. It flows endlessly like a grand waterfall - always changing form, shape and texture - yet it all makes organic sense. This could ONLY be music that was composed under the influence of a man spiraled up into a vortex of spiritual bliss and ecstasy.

[@highphlyer]

For the harpsichordist, this must feel like a marathon! But it is mesmerizing for this listener.......

[@alecwilliams7111]

I'm so glad Soler's wonderful Spanish music has come to light. I first heard his wonderful music on Jonathan Woods' great London/British Decca album, and I am a fan. Spanish keyboard music of this era is a wonderful treat.

A Bocheríni feldolgozásban, Sara Caléró még a ló oldalazó mozgását is kitáncolja. Sok van mi csodálatos, ez az. Köszönet a kiváló előadásért.

Why People can't seem to grasp that this piece is played in the idiom of baroque indulgence, excess, improvisation, sexuality,... and passion, do we think the caricature of the era must be forced on the reality? Excellent performance. My favorite performance of Fandango, by Soler nwas a concert , broadcast by WNYC in the early 1980's. I have looked for it in vain: Elizabeth Churchnacko, (spelling????), in which the left hand figure, pulsed like rapids in a river , lyrically, and undulating, in a very lively, and wonderful way , the likes of which, I have never heard again...!!!! But this one is very spectacular, and imaginative, and firey.! ! !

[@anthonyhegedus7948]

Yes you play fast, but this is a wonderful interpretation of this piece. Absolutely fantastic!

[@jaimedelpalacio9090]

Creo que hay que tener siempre en mente (en el oído) el fandango andaluz, con su chisporroteo y su brillo. El Niño Ricardo, por ejemplo. Y, también, pensar en la escuela francesa de clavecín, estoica en su geometría (Couperin, Rameau). Es una espléndida interpretación, mezcla de estas dos tendencias: hieratismo y abigarramiento. El churrigueresco del Sagrario de la catedral de México es el mejor ejemplo. El padre Soler es su equivalente en la música. Es interesante que Bach pueda ser transportado al piano sin perder demasiado; no Soler. Es su limitación y su encanto. Cervantes admite malas traducciones, erratas; no Quevedo, menos aún Góngora. Cervantes es un artista universal; Quevedo y Góngora quedan “reducidos” a la lengua española… Nos dejan de ser maravillosos por eso. Quizá músicos como Mudarra, Milán o Soler, entre muchos otros, trascienden las limitaciones de la lengua. Al final, todas las artes aspiran a la música. Schopenhauer tiene razón.

I believe no Padre Soler nor Scarlatti would play it that way, but I still find this interpretation impressive. Its obvious that the approach to music changes in each generation. This version is modern (as of the year 2015), but in this case, 'modern' doesn't mean 'bad'.

Maybe they didn't play that way in their time, but, maybe in their time, they were not that serious we now imagine. To compose that music their music, thay should have as unbelievable as Jean Rondeau is now ... they should have made people crazy ... it's a music that moves in itself....

I can't recognize what it seems I said above....But, you are right, I talked with a friend of mine who is both a pianist and a musicologist : and he said this rendition is absolutely fascinating, brilliant and Jean Rondeau plays is extremely well. But reading my previous opinion, maybe what I said was not that clear . because I actually did mean exactly what youu say yourself. I said "they didn't play the serious way" I meaned "playing exactly what is written in the sheet; nothing else. I know in the former the, note every note was written ... Well I agree you, except that I didn't mean what you think ...

[@jeanpi314159]

But I agree what you say, except that I didn't mean what you suppose .Maybe I wasn't clear enough.. I know not every note that was not written in that time. Then I talked with a friend of mine who is both a pianist and a musicologist and he told me he found this rendition absolutely fascinating,and marvellous, very living. I said "they didn't play that serious way we imagine", that means "they didn't play it in a boring way",( many people imagine ancient music) or "without any fantasy" ( people believing they only play the notes that are written". But I never pretend I am a specialist, of course . I love the way Jean Rondeau play it...
