Wow I am amazed! She is great and played this very well!

[marinascalafiotti]

cool! Very good, i'm like!

[srarrivadercci]

Meravigliosamente giocato. Benne fato. Bravo.

[srarrivadercci]

Meravigliosamente giocato. Benne fato. Bravo.

[KlaustoIsakara]

I was pretty skeptical in the first 30 seconds, since I think this piece should not be played real fast, but there's some kind of point, really catching and I have to say that eventually I do like her performance.

[hayakawashiki]

彼女の昔の録音はもっと大人しい感じでした。スキップ・センペに­影響を受けていますね。

[so0chi1]

Yesterday's program was probably a keyboard music by Rameau. From Book 2 of 1Q84.

[garriaga52]

sounds as if she have as a teacher the truly master of the harpsichord..Ralph Kirkpatrick

[Fuliginosus]

Probably my favorite Rameau keyboard performance.

[epar1628]

She is really good, but she plays it wayyy too fast.

[hayakawashiki]

スコット・ロスとスキップ・センペを混ぜたような感じ？

[adaskopitasko]

Please please more of her playing ,please i am addicted....

[Orientaliszt]

Quel toucher !!!!!

[evitaercx]

OMG awesome !!! Best performance ive heared. Next week i will hear Pinnock live in this pice so i will have comparison

[Mistermagoo77]

@evitaercx Where is Pinnock playing these days?

[evitaercx]

@Mistermagoo77 In Poland during wratislavia cantans festival nfm.wroclaw.pl/mfwc/?page_id=6­&lang=en

[maxmel73]

Maybe she plays the harpsichord like she is playing a piano, but she is very passionate and the result is interesting

[Fuliginosus]

This is like rock-and-roll!

[pianopera]

Very nice playing, and what a lovely instrument!

[veenaye]

She has a virtuoso's skills, but she should definitly stop smoking crack, it doesn't do Les Cyclopes any good ...

[fatbumba]

Abominable tempo. Sorry, but my feeling is that she runs over the lyrical contour of this piece with utter ignorance.

[fatbumba]

@fatbumba

Try Trevor Pinnock's recording instead.

[Audiolink]

@fatbumba

Oh please, there's enough "informed" performances out there.

jealousy wont get you anywhere! :p

BTW, aint that a monster of an instrument? it's HUUUGE!

[kwadruple]

@fatbumba oh, please. This was meant to be a virtuosic piece. She definitely brings the fire and passion out. You just feel threatened because you don't have the ability to play this quickly and skillfully.

[fatbumba]

@kwadruple You obviously don't know much about the French high baroque. Jealousy has nothing to do here — I've been playing this since my early 20s, and it's a pretty fluid item in any harpsichordist's register.

[fatbumba]

@kwadruple The word "virtuoso" applies more to a four-part composition from the "Art of the Fugue". This is a lovely, evocative piece that, like most in the mannerist style prized by my French compatriots, is best played with a sense of pace. Real specialists of the French repertoire, like Kenneth Gilbert, or Trevor Pinnock play it with such grace that it doesn't feel like an machine gun.

[yuta1010blog]

Any other performance has been tepid since I first listened to this.

Bravissimo!

[jsba1987]

rameau si sta rivoltando nella tomba...non c'è musica in questo video...almeno non per me...

[paqman67]

Bravo!! It's very easy to bring a "demon" to a harpsichord. the instrument allows itself to be played much faster than a modern piano. A former Piano player turned harpsichordist summed quite nicely: A harpsichord feels like a ballerina when being played, a piano feels like a fullback football player trying to be a ballerina, when being played!" Ms. Sone's playing is more "classical" than Elaine Comparone's in that she actually plays much faster than her but with half the flair! Cheers!

[krsnapunk]

This is amazing pice.. Very rare to find

[revorrah]

She brings a demon out from the harpsichord, which isn't known for it's ability to evoke such things.

[TheGravicembalo]

good!

[chriswales19]

Excellent !

[greekathanasios]

real improvisation style.interesting...

[jmtappenden]

Great elan and joie-de-vivre!Bravo!

[jmtappenden]

Performed with a joyfulness which really transmits & communicates.Bravo!

[jmtappenden]

Mayako is honestly the best I have heard recently.She plays with great panache.Bravo!

[jmtappenden]

Mayako conveys a real love & understanding of Rameau's music.Tour-de-force!Bravo!

[capmantarraya]

I love her!

Impresionant!

[FernandRaynaud]

Frankly I don't feel anything positive listening to such technique for its own sake. It sounds like a mad pianist trying to destroy a harpsichord.

[Viahandel06]

Good performance, but I prefer Elaine Comparone's rendition. She at least used the upper keyboard for contrast.

[princechandy]

Musique française, évidemment.

[Rykhart]

Lovely!

Absolutely beautiful!

[aloofistpain]

sounds like shallow one by computer programming

[UKpatriot90]

my favourite piece!!!!!!!!

[trabalhosmanuais]

simply amazing

[ShinAkiraX]

i don't think it's too fast. her playing conveys the intensity of the battle between Odysseus and Polyphemus, the cyclop.

[ShinAkiraX]

first thing that i imagined from the piece was a boss fight in some epic game.

[Mistermagoo77]

Bloody hell woman! Slow down!

Give me Pinnock any day!

[ravichandra70]

Funny..reviewers said that same thing about Pinnock's recording of this at the time...that it was too fast and wild!! God forefend that this music be played with any passion, eh?!

Brava Sone-sen! Beautifully recorded too!

[Mistermagoo77]

Again...Give me Pinnock any day. Passion does not mean disrupting the flow of the piece. Too many stops and starts

[BryanFantasia]

あでやか

[Navarra2222]

Entsetzlich. Transportiert wird hier nur noch die Virtuosität des Spiels und der Drill der Übung, nicht mehr die Komposition. Es kommt einem vor, als höre man einen Rohrstock, der auf die Finger klopft. Viel zu unklar herausgearbeitet, alle Klarheit geht unter.

[inviniveritas]

It plays very well, but in transitions from fast to slow parts and vice versa is a bit "broken"

[xXWeezerXx]

i thought so too, it's annoying.. like a bunch of little solos, not one song.

[accordionz]

HOLY SMOKES, the technical ability on display here...!!!

Still, I find it blazingly fast, way too fast, I prefer Pinnock's interpretation.

[DaGuittarMan]

holy crap, that was amazing!

[trionitetis]

S'il s'agit des Cyclopes ouraniens,Brontès (Tonnerre),Stéropès (Éclair)et Argès(Foudre), il faut reconnaître que cette pièce est bien plus que de la virtuosité gratuite, mais plutôt un tableau de la force tellurique de ces êtres qui ont participé à renverser Ouranos puis Cronos. Merci à la claveciniste de prendre tous ces risques pour évoquer la violence et la puissance monstrueuses de ces êtres !!!

[givemetime123]

très belle interprétation, c'est différent du piano mais tout aussi joli.

[rogersimpson23]

sorry, but I think it quite denatures a little the song as I know it.

She plays the rapid parts a bit too fast and the slowest parts a bit too slow.

I do not know if it is me but it is my feeling for the first half part.

Second part.. is incredibly executed with perfection and magnificence

[ArtofCembalo]

French music is for French instrument.

Beautiful!

[khronop]

the title is actually "Les cyclopes". The composer is Jean Phillipppe Rameau, a french composer from the rococo period. the piece is part of Rameau's book "pièces de clavessin" from 1724.

[Indigoscence]

She has a very beautiful instrument and it sounds exceptionally good.

[charcoal4826]

Rameau Cyclopes

[annakim925]

What is the title of this music?

[Couperin1221990]

Good! Toi cam thay duoc chat Boroque Phap qua tieng dan cua chi.

[morindhe]

I never realised how devilishly difficult this piece is to play! Bravo!

[n34t43v3r]

That's a pretty difficult song.I'm trying to find some sheets, but didn't find anything yet.

I have an AP-33 Celviano, and i've once tryied a real Harpsichord, and in comparation to my Harpsichord tone on my AP-33, it sounds almost identical.

[AulicExclusiva]

Impressive, but the shape of the piece would benefit from taking it just a little bit slower! I like the drama, but the phrases have to be fully shaped, too.
