The 'French' Suite no. 1 in D minor, performed by Francesco Corti for All of Bach, is the most classical of the six ‘French’ suites. Bach keeps strictly to the usual order of the dances: allemande, courante, sarabande, two minuets and a gigue. According to Corti, it is possibly even the most archaic of all Bach’s suites. In other words, it is an ideal piece for becoming familiar with the genre and the various dance forms in their purest style.

This is THE rendition of this piece that lovers of Bach’s music, and newcomers must hear! Such poetry! Corti’s playing is extremely expressive, you can really feel the poetry of the music. The allemande blows me away. I can hear the words strung together into such expressive sentences culminating in a vast paragraph, then a new side of the story, finally ending with such a beautiful conclusion.

I am delighted to have Signor Corti as one of my FB friends and dearly love his insightful and beautiful approach to the harpsichord and indeed life itself. This is delightful and profound playing as Herr Bach deserves, and blows dust off the sadly wooden interpretation sometimes given to him by previous generations who destroyed more than they revered, it seems - a musical Luftwaffe! The Sarabande within this gem of a Suite ("sequence" for those who don't know yet) is a model of operatic pathos and deeply-felt inspiration. It moves me every time I hear it and, based on Francesco's playing of it here, I gather it moves him too. Kudos, my very dear friend, Signor Corti, I loved every minute of this elegant video! ❤️💐🎹🎼🇮🇹

It may be the most classical, but the gigue is not in 3, which makes the gigue unique among all gigues that he composed for any instrument or medium.

Gigue is like an intro of a typical French overture, I wish there was an also fugato section.

@stever3788 3 жыл бұрын

Breathtaking! A close #2 to the great Glenn Gould version. The first completely original interpretation I have heard in the last 20 years. From the beginning, the overly slow Allemande presents the most ornamentation ever dared on this piece, easily twice the figuration of the already daring Glenn Gould versions, which means it's quadruple what's on the written page! The slow tempo works though with these added figures filling in the space. His Gigue is also slow but has a nice groove to it, almost a swing that pulses it forward. The Minuets are fast, what a flurry of notes yet still so natural sounding. The Sarabande - well I could write a whole essay on his version, but it's nice to hear an old friend that I played 25 years ago in a new light. Every movement has a fresh look at the style and tempo that surprises and delights me. Oh and of course I love the Baroque tuning, c# minor has such a dark sound compared to the modern d minor. It's the first time I've heard this Suite and wanted to listen to this version again and not even pick it apart against the various things Glenn Gould did but let it stand on its own as something new and different. Thanks so much for adding this to KZfaq with such beautiful camera work and sound. Bravo!

Mr. Corti’s excessive use of ornamentation in the second Minuet obscures the characteristic dance rhythm. Al mio parere si capisce.

@patriciarodriguezmartinez3233 3 жыл бұрын

Bach compuso las suites francesas para clave. Pero cada cual puede tocarlas en el instrumento que prefiera. Se dice a menudo que la música de Bach está escrita para "teclado", pero yo no estoy de acuerdo de que eso signifique que vale en todos o cualquier teclado. Para mí es muy claro que está escrita para clave u órgano. Y muy pocas veces intercambiable entre ambos. No obstante, hay una preciosa versión para cuarteto de cuerdas de las Variaciones Golbert, por ejemplo, que originalmente es para clave

@ruperttmls7985 3 жыл бұрын

Si, pero el comentario anterior se refería al clavicordio, que era el instrumento preferido de Bach para tocar en su domicilio aun por encima del clave. Las suites francesas tienen un objetivo de enseñanza en casa, incluso algunas fueron extraídas de la libreta de Anna Magdalena, por lo que es probable que fueran tocadas mas en clavicordio que en el clave. Saludos.

@patriciarodriguezmartinez3233 3 жыл бұрын

@@ruperttmls7985 por supuesto, es de todos bien conocido que Bach tenía un clavicordio, un lautenwerk y un clave en su casa. Es el hijo de Bach, Karl P. el que demostró un interés y gusto especial por el clavicordio. No dudo que Bach lo tocara gustosamente en su casa en compañía de sus hijos, pero ningún documento histórico sugiere que le gustara por encima del clave.... En fin, mucho especular. Yo creo que Bach compuso las Suites francesas para clave, pensando en el clave como instrumento final. Y lo creo por una razón de peso y nada especulativa : su textura compositiva es claramente clavecinística. Puede que alguna pequeña parte, algún Minuetto, por ejemplo, se incluyera o se extrayera de algún otro cuaderno, seguro. Pero en su totalidad como conjunto, la obra tiene una clara proyección de estilo dentro de la texturas compositivas propias del clave y nada sencillas en ocasiones por muy didáctica que le echara Bach a su obra, era incapaz de hacer algo sencillo,(lo propio de un genio, claro.) También las Suites inglesas y las Partitas bien conocidas son para clave con gran evidencia. A pesar de que las últimas aparecieran dentro del Orgelbuchline, (librito para órgano, pues menudo librito.... Monumental, como toda su obra) El clavicordio es un instrumento muy bonito. Precioso. Pero como has dicho, su razón de ser era su práctica y económica función.
