Friedrich Der Grosse. An enigmatic personage. Someone who obviously appreciated art and music and being a fine composer. Yet, an absolute dictator on the level of being a precursor to Hitler. History has it that you could, if you enjoyed his performance, applaud and yell "Bravo" and if you didn't...

Herr Walchaw was the best that I have ever heard, including some of these "historically informed" musicians of today. He played this and everything else with proper registrations and not just loud mixtures all the time, at a proper tempo and not in a speed race without articulation as some of the...

Is it just me or this is an incredibly odd camera angle? Seems like the camera guy was laying on the floor and shooting up. We don't see the other performers.

A good general version on Handel's life but some key issues were never discussed. His musical "duel" in Naples with Domenico Scarlatti, Handel's organ concerti, and of course the three times Handel missed meeting J. S. Bach. Someone didn't do ALL of their homework.

More like "Music of the Hal Roach Studio" since all of these pieces were used at one time or another for Laurel & Hardy, Charley Chase, The Our Gang, Thelma Todd & Patsy Kelly, to mention a few of the shorts series.

Korean and it IS hilarious!!! Guess that you've never run into people who can't speak English. Lucky!

To bad that there isn't any of the actual music to go along with the pictures.

@Neville6000 Anything you say, "pal." You prefer the era of dehumanization, impersonality, just being a serial number in a computer somewhere, a slave to technocracy, that's your choice. I'm just saying that since the end of WWII there has been a steady overall general decline in taste, art and i...

Amazing! All of these creatures: i.e. Bigfoot, Nessie, Champ and all the rest, having been seen for decades if not hundreds of years. BUT! Not one piece of physical evidence! No corpse, no bones. Not even droppings from any of these supposed existing creatures. Habeus corpus. No body, no crime. N...

Anything you say. Can't be bothered wasting time arguing with an idiot. Keep posting and I won't answer any more. Post to yourself.

Reminds me of myself when at that age, my dad would put his accordian down on the floor and let me press the keys and make all sorts of sounds, but not music. This baby is pretty much the same. He's getting an audio response to pressing the keys. He's NOT playing music or composing. But who knows...

ASIMO said, "I FAW DOWN!" *LOL* Back to the drawing board.

@jpstenino

Nothing like those "smart" answers flowing in all the time. I was only suggesting an idea.

You seemed to be "sensitive" to my idle query. SHEESH! What a grouch.

@BlueMaTiger

Simple. "Modern" pianists are seemingly only interested in how fast they can play anything and they certainly don't approach Bach or any other Baroque composer from the point of being "historically informed" about the performance practices of that age. A lot of so-called "experts" f...

Why is that so surprising? I thought that everything that this know-nothing spewed forth is relative to "farting": be it intestinal or hatched in her pea sized brain. And that can be said for the rest of these shrews in this hen party of loud mouth intellectual wannabes. The only thing dummer are...
