Listen to Richter and Gavrilov playing Händel. Pure magic! The old wizard and his pupil. Greetings from Norway!

А я ее правнук

And I'm her great-grandson

Extraordinary!!

[musikjarl]

omg! u have no idea about music!

[piskynjvskaya]

Вертлявой, в дирижерских фрачках.

В дунайских фейерверках, скачках

И вальс из гроба в колыбель

Переливающей, как хмель.

Играй же на разрыв аорты

С кошачьей головой во рту,

Три чорта было - ты четвертый,

Последний чудный чорт в цвету

[piskynjvskaya]

Great Russian poet Osip Mandelshtam has devoted these verses to Galina Barinova.

[piskynjvskaya]

Утешь меня Шопеном чалым,

Серьезным Брамсом, нет, постой:

Парижем мощно-одичалым,

Мучным и потным карнавалом

Иль брагой Вены молодой -

[piskynjvskaya]

Девчонка, выскочка, гордячка,

Чей звук широк, как Енисей,-

Утешь меня игрой своей:

На голове твоей, полячка,

Марины Мнишек холм кудрей,

Смычок твой мнителен, скрипачка.

[piskynjvskaya]

За Паганини длиннопалым

Бегут цыганскою гурьбой -

Кто с чохом чех, кто с польским балом,

А кто с венгерской немчурой.

Hello Truecrypt! Thanks so much for all that you post. I guess we could say that this is a more old school perf. Original instrument folks would look down on this, but you know what? This has Heart and depth more than most of those. Today, some of us lose sight of that. Take care, Ken.

Hello Ken;

The question of "authenticity" is a tricky one!

One can play Bach on 18th century organ, learn all manuscripts, tune to original "temperament" and still be a poor performer. On other hand Bach can be performed by Swingle Singers and it will be more "authentic" than scientifically correct playing. As long as it touches your soul, it's authentic.

:D true

[evolutionist11]

Why do they use "authentic" instruments?

Because they cannot perform better than the great interpreters of Bach such as Karl Richter, Glenn Gould, Clala Haskil, etc. did.

Those old instruments never sound good.

They should realize that there was no other way in Bach´s time. The so-called "authentic" is a ludicrous invention of Bach- interpretation.

[aewanko300]

They do it for nostalgia!

@evolutionist11 I tend to agree about "authentic" instruments. When listening to "authentic" performers such as Andrew Manze, who often sounds so harsh and strident, I think a 20th-century sensibility has been foisted off on us as representing the time of Bach. The Age of Enlightenment, the 18th century, was about harmony and beauty, not an astringent "realism."
