Beautifully played, beautifully photographed, beautiful sounding instrument, and beautiful harpsichordist. I love Couperin and the way you play this piece so spiritually and expressively. Please post more Couperin compositions.

Molod4inka! beautiful, confident, charismatic performance... Now i want to hear it on an even more resonant instrument..

[organaut1]

@miizjaza Thank you darling! This instrument is a concert harpsichord, which is quite resonant. You should have heard it live!

Nice performance, but it sounds as if the unisons and bass octaves could benefit from some more tuning attention....

[organaut1]

@thebpl Thank you! Yes, it was a dry day after a whole week of high humidity and the instrument just refused to stay perfectly tuned.

Yes very nicely done: I particularly liked the third section, which I think you took marginally less quickly than the first. It was interesting too, that you used the upper manual for the middle section. I have n't seen that done before, though there must be some doubt whether LC had a double manual harpsichord available to him, given that the piece ante-dates 1661. What next?

[organaut1]

@clementmatchett Thank you very much! The third section is my favorite in the piece :) Next time I will not rush so much. Next -- I think Alessandro Poglietti!
