The harpsichord is a refined instrument of precision, it is often reflective in nature, i often find that fans of this noble articulate sound are cultural and wise , that,s been my experience, concerts are never dissapointing, always come away refreshed, love it........<3
Astounding. It is incredible how the harpsichord changes my feelings so dramatically like no other instrument, with its delicate and beautiful tones. The wonderful thing about the harpsichord is the fact that it emphasises the skill of the musician so beautifully. It also wonderfully emphasises the spectacular sounds of other stringed instruments such as the cello, bass and violin.
I agree - the "sound" is part of the experience! I have no problem with harpsichord music being played on a piano, but - it just isn't the same! Nor would it be the same if modern piano music was played on a harpsichord. Purcell, Bach, and others didn't just put notes onto paper. They had specific sounds or "colors" in mind. No doubt they might be delighted with modern instruments, but their music on them is - for this purist - interpretation, delightful yes, but not exactly as intended.
Harpsichord is a very touching instrument to listen to. It brings to me feelings of melancholy I'm sure would make me cry as well if I would be slightly more sensitive. This tune is beautiful! Thank you for posting the vid, though I am not sure if this is Henry Purcell: suite No.2....
The older I get, the more I like istrumental music. The harpsichord and the violin are two instruments that make me contemplate things...and makes the blood pressure smooth out. ;) Thanks for posting this video.
@pauljsowders I totally agree with you! Another instrument that is very interesting is the Glass Harmonica. Mozart did a couple pieces for it. It has a very unique sound. :) .
Makes me want to put on an arsenic-filled wig and powder my face with lead-based powder... don't know why. Maybe a beauty spot to boot.

I started early, fortunately. :)
The harpsichord really is a contemplative instrument. Not like the piano, with its banging hammers.

Though coming from the piano, the
harpsichord is more and more getting my favourite instrument. Right now I´m so happy having learnt Contrapunctus I.
Yes, and this compilation is really great!!
