  • das ist das beste stück auf erden

  • Just amazing and eternal!

  • That's an odd sounding harpsichord

  • Ich finde dieses Stück sehr dynamisch und die Fuge ist exzellent! :O

    Ich wünschte ich könnte so gut spielen! Der Typ hat es echt drauf!

  • @patoa94 That's not entirely correct. It is a loanword from Italian. I feel the significance does lie in Italian being the 'musical language' and often being used in place of the composer's native language. I'm sure you realize this; but to state 'Cembalo is German' seems misleading to the ignorant. Perhaps a silly thing to argue about; but so long as everyone is correcting one another, I don't feel it hurts to join the fray.

  • Wonderful !

  • okay what make is Richter's Double Harpsichord?

    i would very much like it if someone would please answer my question. thank you

  • Of course Bach would barely have recognized such a monstrous "harpsichord" as this mid-20th century behemoth! But every generation must discover and re-interpret the great music of the past, and here is a great example of the "preservation of fire". Exciting!

  • Goodness, technically most of you are incorrect. Cembalo is about as "German" as the word "Piano." It's of Italian origin! My comment is directed to the people calling Cembalo specifically a German word.
