Carlos Seixas - Harpsichord Concerto in A Major

[SCHROELL]

Magnifique musique baroque!

[ttomace]

who is this composer? how cum we dont know abt him?? wat nationality is he?

Wat instrument did he compose for? anyway it is GREAT music!

[Tenifus]

@ttomace Carlos Seixas was from Portugal, Lots of his music was lost in a natural disaster (earthquake I think). He wrote a lot of pieces for harpsichord and organ.

[ttomace]

@Tenifus Thx...his works are unique and lovely... b y d way who is ur favorite composer of all times?(sTAtiStics LOL)

[apsod]

When D. Scarlati was in Portugal, Carlos Seixas taked an audicion with him in orther to be teached but scarlati affirmed: there is nothing that I can teach but a lot i can learn from him.

from my history of music's book! ;)

[LeithMusic]

Carlos has a sexy arse

[ttomace]

@LeithMusic :P

[Zordan60]

we have this portrait in my conservatory.

[justincrzo]

Most of his compositions where destroyed or lost when an earthquake struck his city and burned nearly all his compositions

[ttomace]

@justincrzo how do u know? really? how sad!!

[Pinxejas]

@justincrzo It was the great Lisbon's earthquake of November !rst 1755. Voltaire writes about it in "Candide". The character was in Lisbon at the time and witnessed that amazing tragedy. It was one of the strongest earthquakes ever.

[tonnze]

[Viahandel06]

Holy fucking God!!!

Why have I not heard of Carlos Seixas before?!??!

Seriously, all wanted to know was if there was any Portuguese music from the baroque period that still survived.

Now, I have to get record asap!! :D

[vuk1973july]

It's seems to me that de Sexias was had infuence of the later classical composers like Mozart, Haydn this concert is similar by many Mozart, but he came later or Haydn's symphonies in the early time, but it's closest by Vivaldi style and his greatest master work!

[peybak]

I also didn't know about Carlos Seixas and I found this concerto by accident. Also I want a Harpsichord really badly!

[Ant2101]

Wow, amazing music!! =) thanks!

[gonc43]

No segundo andamento , o cravo de Carlos Seixas parece chorar o fado Português , de sermos o que somos , ....um Povo que não valoriza os seus valores , mas este desconhecido foi capaz , de deixar esta obra , para sentirmos um arrepio na espinha , quando a ouvimos e sentimos ,,,, o sentimento de ser Português ................. Obrigado Carlos seixas !

[HitlodeuPT]

@gonc43 Curiosa essa tua interpretação, mas ambos concordamos numa coisa ,é que é de facto aborrecido em Portugal ter nascido um musico tão virtuoso que foi Carlos Seixas e haver digamos algum desprezo pela obra deste compositor por nossa parte. O que é uma pena

[crafspee]

A mais linda musica de sempre !

[saudadedefados]

que maravilha!

[LiradeTerpsichore]

BTW who is playing?

Quem está a tocar?

[esampulkkinen]

Creo que son János Sebestyén & Liszt Ferenc orquesta.

[indigoblue555]

Great post ! Rarely performed but so

enjoyable.

[bersa888]

Actually this much tamer than some of his sonatas... very nice indeed!

[galveias]

Portuguese, from Coimbra!!

[HerrWarja]

Nice, I like him!

[teluriarte]

He isn't spanish. He is portuguese.

[HerrWarja]

I heard the previous person to inform me of that fact the first time.

[LiradeTerpsichore]

Well, generally we have been repeating it for centuries and people still dont get it so maybe you can spread the word and be a little polite. :)

Thank you.

It seems we have been so polite and gracious and humble for centuries, that the majority of foreigners think that Coimbra or Portugal is somewhere in Spain.

Short time ago there were still diaries made like that in North Europe. I have some.

Glad you liked it and thanks for asking. We like to be helpful and don't answer Google it. :)

[LiradeTerpsichore]

This was to Herr Varja

[HerrWarja]

My name is Herr Wärja, not Herr Varja

[LiradeTerpsichore]

ok :)) good day to you, sir

[mrmolinodelahoz]

the Portuguese are the first to have a complex that everything made in portugal must be inferior. Especially in regard to Spain. Scarlatti started in portugal and finished in Spain which indicates that very good things have their beginnings in portugal.

[flaviobettencourt]

(1)

We dont have any complex with Spain. I think it is Spain that always had a complex about Portugal. The Portugueses were the only Iberian that always resisted against Castilian occupation and with lesser population (1 million) had a greater maritime expansion, greater courage, greater balls to explore unseen worlds and to establish and culturally influent countries, from Japan to Brazil. We open new roods to the world the others came next throughout these roads.

[Rotebuehl1]

@flaviobettencourt

A quem é que respondeu com esta réplica há um ano atrás? Já nao se consegue ver a evolucao do intercâmbio

[flaviobettencourt]

(2)

The problem of Spain was always trying to isolate/annexe physically and culturally Portugal. Adopting the term Spain, Hispania, the term that the Romans gave to Iberia is only one example of these cultural annexation. Everything that is Hispanico that is from Iberia is Spanish. Happens with music like Folia, Fandango (That are probably from Portuguese origin), the Villanciclos, Cantigas de amigo, etc.

[flaviobettencourt]

Happens with music like Folia, Fandango (That are probably from Portuguese origin), the Villanciclos, Cantigas de amigo, etc. Happens with horses (the Iberian horse that is now the Andalusian Horse), happens with the bullfighting that is associated with Spain. The Spanish are so funny that they think that the Castanets are from Spain. I can give you several example of this cultural annexation but i just made my point.

[divine604]

i think they can have bullfight, its them that get the image of barbarians

[Rotebuehl1]

@flaviobettencourt

Sempre pensei que, em Português, se escrevesse e dissesse "vilancete" e não "vilancico" ou "vilancillo"! Até já nos tiraram a própria terminologia? Vem do acordo ortográfico ou já vem mais de trás? ;-)))

[PivotMakeranimations]

hes portuguese

[josepesfial]

ficei colado a esta música!

[Raffzeee]

Is it possible Scarlati out shone this guy in the same way Mozart outshone Haydn?

[enochsneed]

When Scarlatti was in Portugal in the 1720's he was asked to give Seixas harpsichord lessons - he replied that Seixas should be giving him lessons! Seixas should have far more recognition today, his compositions have a truly distinctive style. It's a tragedy much of his work was lost in the Lisbon earthquake in 1755 (particularly his sacred music).

[grantco1313]

Yeah, that's it. Music history considers Haydn an "outshined" hack compared to Mozart :-)

[bersa888]

Seixas had possibly the same inventiveness as D. Scarlatti, but the latter demonstrated (from what we can tell from the music of both) a tighter and more magisterial grip on (baroque) sonata form, systematically finding new solutions in handling the extremely common binary form of the time. Scarlatti always seems more "in charge" of the medium than Seixas. Albero and Soler could be added on the list with Seixas :-)

[obizin]

No. Besides, Seixas died 38 years old.

[tunstall90]

it sounds almost like vivaldi! i'm so glad that i've come accross this obvious forgotten talent! he deserves more recognition

[lucasaraujo5]

2:42 He looks like Mr.Bean XD LMAO

but he's great

[indigoblue555]

A true delight listening to this barocque

concert . thx for sharing -

[LITOBEL]

Portugal tem no barroco uma das suas melhores expressões musicais do classico. Bem haja quem postou o video!!

[teluriarte]

amazing!

[stefomate]

wat the fuck???

who was this guy ???

[Kraviotho]

Musica de DIOSES!!! 5/5 me pregunto por que Carlos Seixas no fue reconocido?????

Este concierto en La mayor es realmente Hermoso.

[gonc43]

Fantástico ; o segundo andamento é puro fado ,o melhor do barroco é portugues , mas não é divulgado como devia . Escutem é Português .

[Banaco6]

muito bem visto! nunca tinha reparado como no II andamento o cravo se assemelha tanto a uma guitarra... lindíssimo. Viva Carlos Seixas!! sou de Coimbra, por sinal, e com muito orgulho do meu conterrâneo :)

[FredericoLourenco]
