    If that sounds like an acoustic guitar, than Tiny Tim sounds like Hendrix.

    Splendida esecuzione nello stile del buon sodomita.

    for at least eight minutes, he is not human.

    I disagree, the pleyel is a better example

    This is a facinating example of an early-mid twentieth century harpsichord. It actually sounds like a piano crossed with a harpsichord (which in some ways it was). I also find some quite interesting parallels with the Fugue a la Gigue in the second half of this toccata.

    Esecuzione miserabile nello stile del missionario penitente. Patetico.

    Perfect music, perfect player, perfect instrument and perfect location (Ottobeuren basilica).

    Maybe it's just me, but certain parts of this sound rather like Bach's Partita #2 in C minor. :S Check out the one played by Glenn Gould for reference.

    Incredible the speed in which he plays the end I am stunned

    What other toccatas did Bach write, eccept for this, BWV 565, BWV 540, BWV 564, and Dorian? (BWV 540 and Dorian really aren't toccatas, more like preludes.)

    This must have sounded like hard rock to listeners back in the day! Rock on, Bach! Rock on Karl Richter!

    Hi, Can you tell me something about the variety of arpischords,and some of their chracteristics? Thanks So much.

    That is my dream harpsichord ! The 16' is amazing. What a tremendously powerful sound - and what an amazing performance. Wow. Thanks for sharing.

    @ Swami I agree very much. JSB would have been flabbergasted over this rape in "his" name.

    What a refined, talented and incredibly handsome man. The concert harpsichord is gorgeous too. While this style of playing has (sadly in my opinion) fallen out of favor its so amazing we have the videos to keep this alive. I wish I looked as confident and comfortable at the harpsichord as Richter does. Its amazing to witness his exploration of the instrument's varied timbres...... inspiring!! I'm sure Bach would have really enjoyed it. Now I'm gonna practice.

    Well said. Couldn't be better put.

    A single word to be said : excellent

    They censor you because they perfectly know that you are right but their closed minds don't want to listen to the truth.
  22. Ramona, on January 8th, 2009 at 00:04:04 Said:
    I agree with you entirely. I wrote similar comment once, but it was censorshipped very fast. Sad.

    PIECE. Not song, but PIECE! If you are going to talk music, get the terminology correct!

    Yes, Ammer, Pleyel and Neupert were like Panzer nazi tanks while copies of authentic historical Ruckers, Couchet, Blanchet, Hemsch, Taskin, Grimaldi and so on, are like Ferrari and Lamborghini. For sure also the Panzer tanks used to be built to last but I am not sure if they can be compared to a Ferrari... Obviously also a Ferrari or a Lamborghini is much more snob than a good old sqaured Panzer... De gustibus...

    Excellent Bauhaus-styled modern performance, ideal for old nostalgic of the obsolete school of non-baroque squared minded performers and Charlie Chaplin sounding fake-cembalos. Baroque as much as going to eat McDonald's thrash modern food.
