es la corriente del rio la que hace que el agua transite por estos lares...... bienvenidos sean las reminiscencias del tañer con respeto y saber... y centrar en equilibrada desnudez la noble notación y la minima ornamentación, gracia mr. Hopkinson. Un placer.

Dance? A prelude? Go and do some reading, please

Great! What a performance. I've seen Ron McFarlane video before. This one too awesome. I think Hopkinson Smith's BWV 1010 Prelude in Eb played in lute is also notably a great performance.

What specifically iswrong? Why does this comment have 4 thumbs up? I do not understand.

I had the very great pleasure of meeting Mr Smith in Toronto in November 1994 - his masterclass remains a treasured memory. A true gentleman and a truly great musician....

@papeeloo : i dont think thats the case. he plays freely like he always does. The sound quality is also quite bad.
-
Hoppy as they call him disappoints me a little in this video. His performance sounds like he just learned the piece and rehearsed it.

I have the CDs with all Bach's lute production performed by this super musician. I think this is one of the best versions ever, and I am very grateful to have the possibility of also seeing it. Thanks for posting.
