  • josepf heiden (haydn) is from germany !

  • Joseph Haydn is born in Austria (Rohrau) and he worked at Eisenstadt (Esterhazy) and Vienna.

  • Great! It's unusual to see such an authentic interpretation. I'd like to see something similar done with Mozart and even Beethoven.

  • Dear music friend thaks for your reaction, I like Richard Fuller very much too. I can give you some Mozart soon !

  • Mozart will be great! But, did you know that Beethoven was a noted harpsichordist before he became famous as a composer? I bet his fortepianos were more like the instrument in the video, and the interpretations of his works in the monster pianos of the late 19th century, the standard for today's concerts, doesn't really reflect the way he conceived them.

  • You are absolutely right! And hearing mozart on pianoforte is much more enjoing than on Steinway or Bösendorfer! I know it and before I heard Richard Fuller I always thought nobody could play Mozart better than Clara Haskil! If you want to realize this, there are some CDs with Fuller produced in Vienna on historical instruments! Look for Richard Fuller at Google, I am sure you will find him !

  • kieor un fortepiano!!!

    ahh q suerte tienen los yanques!

  • Extraordinaria interpretación, llena de sentimiento, equilibrio y delicadeza.

  • Oh, I just love this music, the more simple the more appealing to me, I's BEAUTIFUl!!!!!

    Mirro

  • I know only that there was a smaller Viennese style, and following that was a larger English version by Broadwood (if I recall, correctly). This version and performance is satisfying and enjoyable, in any case. Thank you.

  • Dear Nab,We have Balbastre's testimonial note

    saying that he was extremely pleased that it accurately reproduced his playing.1 thing is sure...it may not reproduce tone well

    but it does a fine reproduction of general tempo inner phrase tempo adjustments of play which

    make balderdash of the late romantic-modern idea that 18th century music was "metric"

  • Dear Neb,Balbastre is from the C.F.Colt clavier collection.I heard it at my professor's house 20 years ago on LP.The method was running a paper

    over the piano mechanically while the keys equipped with punchers impressed the paper,the intervallic

    relationship later transfered to metal cylinder.

  • Smithsherman, could you tell me where I could find some of these ancient recordings (or at least more information on them)? Balbastre? Amazing. Surely it wasn't sound recordings for these earliest of recordings...must have been some kind of mechanical "piano-roll" method methinks. Thanks in advance.

  • Dear Ty,The older recordings are disconcerting at 1st.

    Their perception of time is so different than ours.

    It takes a while just to realize that they almost

    never played in a "regular" tempo & even that said...

    they still simultaneously preferred to be behind or ahead of the beat perception,while adjusting the tempo to the moment.

  • I'm very glad to hear that. I don't imagine the sound quality is very good but it would be marvelous to hear a person born in the 18th century playing.

  • Dear Ty,2 many 2 list,But for starters,the following keyboardists...Claude

    Balbastre b.1727...Karl Reinecke b.1829...

    Theodor Leschititzky b.1830...Francis Plante

    b.1839 just 2 start.Respectfully U R wrong about

    the rarity.We have thousands of recordings by hundreds of virtuosi born before 1860.
