It’s at moments like this that I get a persistent itch to acquire a harpsichord kit, just a modest one, mind (eg: https://zhi.net/instr/IN51ZHI-K.shtml) even though we don’t really have the space for it!

Chorale BWV 345: "Ich bin ja, Herr, in deiner Macht"
"I am in your power, Lord" - a short, 90-second burst this morning (I was able to play it twice in the time of typing this):
... and on YouTube:
Large-ish choir (25 voices) with some well-known names amongst them.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

Lovely singing. Conductor Pregardien is a very good Bach soloist.
The video is going a bit too fancy - drawing attention to itself with all the zooming & soft focus. And there wasn't a shot of the whole choir.Comment

Capriccio sopra la lontananza del fratello dilettissimo BWV 992
Nothing new published on the AoB website today, so, rather than a silence, I thought this might be appropriate.

Brandenburg Concerto No 6, BWV 1051
Seven low strings and a harpsichord, led by Shunski Sato on viola, make for a very warm and comforting performance.
Recorded in October 2018; be prepared for the trendy video colours.Comment

A companion piece for Brandenburg No 6:
Beautiful sound. A pity there was no contralto aria.Comment

Today, Concerto in F major, The Italian Concerto, played by the fabled Christine Schornsheim, harpsichord.
That harpsichord sounds very smooth to me. Is it because it is a modern instrument? Or is it the Schornsheim magic?Comment
