  • This post and the other Soler postings are brilliant performances of the works of a vastly under-appreciated composer. Scott Ross's playing is just wonderful.

    Thanks for sharing!

  • Me encanta. Su afinación en La 435 le da un sabor único de la que desgraciadamente la 440 carece. Enhorabuena

  • mmmm... pretentious 18th century spanish harpsichord music.

  • @George: When I learned this piece I played it virtually identically to the way that Ross did-it’s not a tough piece. I played all the notes right where they belonged. The problem was that I didn’t make it a living, breathing organism. I didn’t use one phrase to set up the next in tempo or touch like Valenti did. I saw nothing beyond what was written. Valenti did. My playing was child-like compared to his. Was I wrong? No, my playing just wasn't brilliant. Valenti’s was brilliant. 

  • @werderwayne Indeed, nice version with Valenti. I don't think that Ross doesn't show passion or understanding. He is just playing it in a homogeneous manner, while Valenti try to disrupt the musical passages. I like both versions.

  • Now listen to Fernando Valenti's version.

    While Ross' technique is excellent, he doesn't show the passion and understanding that Valenti does. Just listen to Valenti's phrasing...it's brilliant.

  • Perfecta afinación La 435! Gran version La mejor? Posible

  • Maravillosa ejecución y maravillosa también la iniciativa de promover la música del Padre Antonio Soler, una gran compositor lamentablemente muy poco reconocido. ¡Gracias!

  • no creo yo que sean tan importantes lo del 435,

    en realidad no hay 2 insturmentos iguales y menos en claves.

    es cosa de la calidad instrumento-grabacion

  • Excellent.

    Absolutely love it!

  • maaan, he's is sooo great, the old scotti ;)
