Sweelinck: Paduana Lachrymae | Alina Rotaru, harpsichord

[Stehnz]

good but less narcissism please. its not a MTV music video.

[Braybaroque]

Lovely and stylish performance! Why so many negative comments? If somebody dislikes something, they should post a clarification! As a professional harpsichordist, I find this performance impeccable from all points of view: technique, articulation, mini-rubato, overall recreation of Sweelinck style. Well done!

Certainly the best rendition on youtube. The only debatable aspect here is the clip, but the music is superb.

The CD "Fortune my foe", which includes the "Paduana Lachrymae" is now nominated for the International Classical Music Award (ICMA) 2011 in Cannes!

Congratulations for your nomination on MIDEM! I love you!

Indeed, a very graphic presentation, but I think I'll pass on this artist's rendition.

[TinekeSteenbrink]

Flow my tears...?

What flows here are perhaps more the fast, modernistic semiquavers than the profound Dowland Pavane - in a tick too far gone, quasi gothic mix of spooky black-painted draculism and perceived narcissism.

@TinekeSteenbrink You're being a bit harsh there. This certainly works for me.
