西山まりえ ゴルトベルク変奏曲 Promotional Video

It is amazing , but to listening to her transports me straigth to the 17th century. There is a very medieval side in her. It is Yamato which speaks in her..

[marcSalsa]

Personally, even if it is different from performances more known, Gould, Hantaï, Jarrett..., I like very much.

It is fresh and very soft. There is maybe more feminine sensibility...

かわいそうだけど、ひどい。

[Ianthe22]

I've now watched a couple of her videos and haev some questions. Is it me or does she play the pieces in different tempo than the original? Doesn't sound like ones i play. it's not only slower, but more exaggerated and at sometimes more notes. Almost sounds like it could be from something like a fantasy from swelinck.. Even the scarlatti pieces i watched her play in a video sounds weird to my ears.

[eldadshahar]

I would marry her on site. Gambate Nippon.

For a harpsichord to deliver contemplative feeling on this Aria is much much harder than on a piano .... I think she did it beautifully, congrats.

[ocktube]

I like the rubato very much, although I think she should base it on Bach's original note values (she invents some of her own in some places). The only thing that bothers me are Marie's exaggerated body movements... they make her look very narcistic - but she isn't alone in that, many piano and harpsichord players do the same, and for no apparent reason. It distracts the attention from the playing.

[camilocuesta]

This impresses me much

[anisometropie]

I don't understand that much lag between right hand and left hand some time.

I don't like the rubato either

[anyatrip]

this is great!

[Treauxfort]

What about Bach? Marie has a very good feeling for him. She simply does her thing. An ad libitum interpretation like this played on an instrument that hard as this one can one do it better? It is at the utmost possible. And it sounds like genuine Bach. Ingenious. Thank you very very much, Marie Nishiyama.

[Treauxfort]

There is much warping of corresponding notes of the right and left hand respectively... Isnt this to be Maries undoing?

It isnt. It works. Effect is that with an outputty static, non-dynamic instrument like this one, the clavicembalo, the intensity of tones is modified in a large range: Keys hit later than expected have more power to endure. Collaboration of overtones changes totally, in a very good way. Thats just a new technique. Striking as never before.

[Treauxfort]

Dear Manolo

Id like to revoke my harsh words I directed to you. That had been somewhat impolite. Pardon for that. I had been a bit boozy.

Now lets get back to the music: What we listen to here is sort of a DE-Composition, or a dissolution of the beat of baroque music as we know it without however destroying the whole of Bachs rhythm. There have never been heard before those extreme rubati, those chord dissociations.

[oonamikonami]

ugly !

[Treauxfort]

It is, of course, one Marie Nishiyama, so: NISHIYAMA - not Ishiyama - whom I'm constantly listening to instead of Glenn Gold. Gould, of course. The rest however fits. So I hope.

[Treauxfort]

The instrument Marie Ishiyama is touching is a godfucking Clavicembalo. No dynamic possibilities, apparently. Nonetheless, she plays like Glenn Gould. She's a touch of god - to us, the rest of the world. Just listen. And to you, Manolo: "Too fast. I find the execution too fast and unclear. Sorry!", you are a goddam loser. You'll never hit some key on the board. Not like Marie has shown us to do. I don't know who's the one to place those +ses and -ses, but mine are sure: +++++++++ for Marie.

テンポ.ルバートによるズレは意図でしょうけど、素直な演奏の方­が好き。

[badidaa]

Beautiful, Marie! I am looking forward to playing with you again soon.

[chenierchenier]

she is beautiful... the perfect women..

[ronnyweasle]

this is quite different

[ManoloRiera]

Too fast. I find the execution too fast and unclear. Sorry!

[chenierchenier]

think you do better? then STFU

[johnnycactus]

Really excellent. Thank you for sharing.

[manfred127]

beautiful...
