Francois Couperin - Les Sylvains. Marina Belova - theorbo

This piece originally was written for harpsichord, but french lutenist and composer Robert de Visee transcribed it for theorbo in early 18c. My performance based on the harpsichord source.

On croirait que la Dame à l'Hermine prend vie et qu'elle nous joue un air de luth. Magnifique aussi bien à entendre qu'à voir. Merci beaucoup.

You look like an oil painting that came to life. Absolutely beautiful rendition; thank you for sharing!

I don't know much about Theorbo, but I so loved this! It's peaceful and wholesome 💜

[jean-philippelengele]

You should record an album available on platforms like Spotify or iTunes. Wonderful performance ! 😊

El fraseo de esta artista es más que notable. Gracias por tocar asi

[reivax]

Great playing! BTW, you look like a rennaissance painting of a beautiful woman playing the lute (Edit: I just noticed I'm not alone in seeing this :D ).

I'm arriving quite late at the party, but I have to say that I love how Couperin sounds on theorbo. And your playing is magnificently expressive. Not my sense of how Couperin should be played, but nonetheless lovely.

[dimitrigoldobine]

Che brava! Очень оригинальная интерпретация

[robin-umzj]

Couperin has been farted on - seriously that man is a masterclass in how to make the harpsichord sound like a birthday card but the theorbo works so much better here- the extra scale length compensates for tone way more than a harpsichord ever could. maddy i am going to skin you

[lubossuchanek]

Couperina mám rád. Interpretka je moc hezká.

[MorbidMayem]

Impressive performance! Is your instrument a remake of an 18th century model or a restored original?

[andrewsappel]

Lovely playing...I enjoyed it alot...and I am about to record the Premier Ordre on harpsichord. A question and an observation for ya. How is the de Visee transcription different from yours? and was there are reason why you didn't want to use his? The observation. Since ornaments (agreements) are shadows on the lute as opposed to the harpsichord where each note is plucked, it seems to me (a subjective harpsichordist) that there is more control over them on the keyboard than on the lute? what's your sense of it? Again Beautiful playing

[MonogramistaML]

I´m shocked. Leonardo´s Dama con l'ermellino can play theorbo???

[philippeperrin]

Very nice play on a great piece. Could you please tell me what type of strings you are using ? Gut or Nylgut ? Merci !
