That one was brought to my attention one night at a party for its restless time signatures, after i had offered up Prokofiev's 7th Sonata on that topic and someone else said wrong genre looking for something a little more now... LOL when I looked it up more recently on YouTube I ran into a comment that I found hilarious: "so British it colonised my computer."
It is a brilliant - and haunting track.
To my mind (or ear), a timeless classic.
And I have always loved (well, I have long loved Baroque music, howsoever unfashionable it may have been in my university days - dudes/guys, especially, were always stupefied by the fact that I not only loved - but knew - this music, it is hard to condescend to someone who knows and loves classical music) the harpsichord.
That sound; I adore it. (Better than piano - which I also like - to my jaundiced ear).
There have been days when I would have (almost willingly) sold my soul to have mastery of this instrument. But then, I also think this about the theorbo.
Sigh: Yes. I know what I want to come back to in my next life (assuming such a thing exists).
What is there not to like - with a stunning harpsichord (howsoever incongruous) in a (flawless) modern musical setting?
And, an aside: Any guy (dude) who could play piano competently or decently, or with some respect for music and instrument (okay, I prefer harpsichord, but let's not be too demanding or high maintenance) met with my wholehearted approval; let's just say that sitting (nursing a glass of wine - beer doesn't quite cut it in these circumstances or settings) while listening to a chap/dude/guy who could play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (and yes, Baroque is even better) is something that - while I am not quite weak at the knees - does Put Me In A Very Good Mood.
