[148neok]

[MightyMan1990]

ist der schwul??! ;) ;)

[56totof]

Un peu de facéties Mr tharaud ? Allez-y à coeur joie, avec vous ça n'est que du bonheur..........

[OceansBoulevard]

[MissEmsAndCo]

[hannicake]

Acdec from jersey!

[Sunikitsune]

This certainly makes the song memorable!

California AcDec :)

[CanonxD]

ac ca california competitor here

[Korea4Me]

The dancing was lovely and I could watch you all day but PLEASE STOP playing Couperin on the piano. Listening to Couperin on a piano is like listening to a politician: it's all lies and phony as f@ck!!

[manilawrapper]

It's annoying on harpsi, it's just as annoying on piano.

Nice moves! Bien fait!

State AcDec in one month!

[pjotrbromm]

combination of the music and the persons body-language function like a mirror to me; tears!

[jakx789]

lol hEY aca from cali xD

[TDoBaF]

glad to know I'm not the only Ac Dec kid who looked this up haha... howdy to all you ac dec'ers from Texas Ac Dec!

[DynamicDinosaurDuo]

Acadork love! (:

[chuang629]

I'm playing this and lack of inspiration. Thanks for the great video! Yes this piece should be as playful as this!

[Sokka83]

wow... The awesome nerds united much? Love to all the aca-deca people out there! Unless you're going against Natomas High that is.

[tangleflower]

This made my day! Hello Ac-Dec people : )

[DoSostenidoMenor]

ME ENCANTA!

:)

[bhsacadeca]

This is so cool! Benicia, CA Acadeca says hi! :D this video is awesome! we played it in class like the first week of school! Love to all Aca Decas! (hey check out our profile page if you want- theres a vid of our class singing the french national anthem :P)

[pokelover02]

wow..O.O didn't think so many of you would look up this stuff..thought i wud be the only one..

CERES HIGH!!!♥

**acadeca**

[someone552005]

Music is music, and you can do whatever the hell you want with it. This is what makes it fun and great, not being a purist who follows strict rules. Innovation brought rock, and all other genres of music.... Also, ACADEC!

[Frankadelphia]

Yes. Academic Decathlon has been one of the only reasons this piece is being listened to. I think the harpsichord version is better.

[heyitsemoman]

lol acadec has a huge youtube fanbase. haha i bet this video got nearly all of its views after the resource guide for music was printed lol

[JainaSkylar]

AcaDec!! W00T!!!

Scrimmage this Saturday, putting in some last minute studying...!!! Hooray for l8t nights!

GO CENTRAL HIGH!

[OneManUniversity]

yeeea acadeca!!!

[kimojemuzu808]

wheres the acrobatic hand movments when hes playing the harpsicord even though this is a piano....ACA DECA FTW!!

[fushigilady]

ACA DECA ! WOOT

[toxicptl]

Are you sure the video fits the music?

[Habrolissimo]

Yes, I'm positive.

[toxicptl]

Jeesus... You're sad... Why not a snoop dog video clip on a mozart piece? This is ridiculous! Its just some sort of a commercial approach to popularize classical music, and you just walked into the trap. At least, the strategy is working, but with idiots only.

[Habrolissimo]

Wow, you're really stupid.

[archkevinbrown]

I'd say: as much as any. Would you rather the video show a bunch of old folks fighting to stay awake in a dim concert hall?

[toxicptl]

Yes I would. The goal of this music is not to shake, if you want to get shaken, then listen to rock.

[Habrolissimo]

If you think the goal of this music is not to shake, then you know nothing about classical music.

[toxicptl]

Im just saying that we shouldnt be mixing everything, hip hop and classical music are two things apart. My english is not good enough to express exactly what I think, so maybe the word 'shake' is not the right one, but you must admit that different kind of musics have different kind of goals, and I just think the goal of the video is not coherent with the goal of classical music.

[Habrolissimo]

Your English is very good--I couldn't tell that you weren't a native speaker. I suppose it's a matter of taste. I think the film beautifully emphasises the rhythm of the piece.

[ChrisC2I]

Why not mix everything, if it is done in good taste. The dancer was obviously listening to the music he danced to, the 'air pianist' too and they let the music speak for itself, without any extraneous addition such as rythm machines or weird samplings.

Hip Hop is not my culture, but their work is at least very clean technically, and (for me) quite amusing.

Look at William Christie's Indes Galantes or Paladins to see really top-notch subversion of baroque music like Rameau would have liked

[kellyclarksonidol]

1:19 was pretty cool

[JazzyEuphoner]

Right here extemperofdarkness

[extemperofdarkness]

Any one else come here from the DemiDec Music Power Guide?

WTF?????????? eemmm interesante me iso reir la parte de la paloma lol

[noujryl70]

Ridicule, snob, petit bourgeois, très "in" et parisien: du hip hop sur Rameau et puis quoi encore? Pourquoi pas du rap sur Bach! C'est çà le "grand pianiste français" au beau discours qui n'aime pas travailler et n'a pas de piano chez lui? Quand va t-on nous débarasser de ces imposteurs? Il y a tant de pianistes d'envergure en France dont on ne parle pas et qui jouent autrement mieux!

[Canados]

ce n'est pas Rameau, c'est Couperin...

"parisien" lol....Vous etes de Marseilles? :D

[uaerehtuel]

Tous les goûts sont possibles, on peut aimer ou ne pas aimer... Par contre, vous devez ignorer les qualités musicales d'Alexandre Thareaud. Vos phrases injustes prouvent que vous ne l'avez jamais réellement entendu. A se demander qui est le "snob, petit bourgeois", lui ou vous ??? Bonne année, et plus de tolérance, ça ne vous fera pas de mal.

[madaboutharpsichord]

@noujryl70 .......et si c'était un moyen de faire écouter du Couperin à des mômes qui n'en écoutent pas ??

[ainhoator]

@noujryl70 Bein, je trouve que la vidéo est assez mignonne... ce n'est pas du grand art mais v'est agréable et ludique. Je ne sais pas si Tharaud est un grand, mais un grand tel que Richter passait des mois sans toucher a un clavier. Aussi faut-il dire que Richter n'était pas l'homme le plus équilibré du monde alors que Tharaud ne me semble pas être la proie de tourments inhumains.

[MarioCavaradossi]

Absolutely brilliant! Why are Europeans always on the forefront of cutting-edge aesthetics? When Warhol died, so did art in the USA. Bravo to Tharaud and Harmonia Mundi!

[Guitarrista]

Me ha gustado mucho. Puede ser incluso una forma de acercar la música de escuela a todo público.

[gudar11]

barbaro, felicitaciones...!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BopperEnLarmes]

il faut compliqué pour trouver des choses muavaises au clip de tharaut. C'est trop sympa ce qu'il à fait!

[didymus940]

video stupendo

[mikeward1701]

Brilliant!

[tohid81]

This is great. I really wonder how much creative some persons are.

Not only it is paradoxically beautiful to play piano on a baroque harpsichord piece (as tharaud says), but also it is paradoxically beautiful to produce such a clip with such a modern dance as the main concept.

I admire tharaud and the folks at harmonia mundi.

[enantiodrom]

Che grande Gioia questo video!! meraviglioso pianismo. "encore"

[94dyc]

lindo videö buenö byë (d!!änä)

[swhmya]

what is he doing?

[musaraigne042150]

Alexandre, vous êtes le meilleur.

Vos CD sont magnifiques et toujours agréables à écouter.

Je vous suis depuis 2 ans que je vous ai découvert. Jamais décu.

Continuez.

A quand un concert en Belgique. Nous avons hâte devous écouter en concert!

Merci.

Jean-P en Belgique.

[givemetime123]

Superbe clip, la musique "baroque" se marie volontier à une mise en scène contemporaine sur fond de danse moderne. belle réalisation et pour les amateurs de cette pièce je recommande aussi la version de Cziffra.

Merci à A. Tharaud pour cette remarquable interpétation (son disque consacré à Rameau est a écouter absolument).

[minetto2]

go s***! if u don't like, don't watch. the interpretation on piano and video are excellent!

[lalungenuictdestens]

Who asked for your opinion 51st stater? The performance is great, but I hate piano... happy?

[BachFong11]

Does anyone else think this is ridiculous?

[singer1924]

Yes I do think so. Tharaud caught most things from this piece, his technique is great, but it lacks what the piano is unable to give: fluidity, depth and transparency of sound, resonance... Ornamentation is here reduced to ornaments, i.e. some sort of rococo decoration rather than their role in underlining expressiveness. Well, this is "historically interesting" as a good example of late XXth century music transcriptions. But why doesn't Tharaud play real piano music?

[Xonos83]

Whoa dude, lol.

[lalungenuictdestens]

:p ;)

[ranxibouche]

Excellent. Voici une façon aussi intelligente qu'élégante de donner une dimension visuelle à cette musique. L'énergie, le style et l'humour... Tharaud and Co ont tout compris !

[JelliusAugustus]

superbe!

[Zebxi]

Je viens juste de découvrir Alexandre Tharaud et c'est... Waow! Je n'aurais jamais cru que Couperin puisse être "Hip-hoppé" mais ça le fait!

[marquisdelafange]

Le talent, ç'est bien. La créativité, c'est mieux. Le talent joint à la créativité, ben... c'est Tharaud.

[PeriodinstrumentfaN]

...le Talent c Tharaud...

[kvdb75]

Nigel Kennedy eat your heart out - this is really classical with a cool twist! Great mise-en-scène!

[Johkas]

Tharaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuu­dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd­d!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[rissenbeck]

toujours mieux, tjs plus loin; alexandre, tu es une vraie pop star et c gagné, j'écris ma première page de blog demain, à l'intention de celui dont la musique et le travail m'inspire chaque jour

[RubyBoukabou]
