It appears the algorithm has decided now is the time the world needs to see and hear this. And I’m glad !
Brooks! What're the odds TH-cam would algorithm us both to an awesome recorder ensemble? Haha. I just met a band director at my workplace the other day and was talking about you.
@@jbradfordphoto HEY! What are the odds! hahaha! That's awesome! We should catch up some time! Been working on some neat stuff you might be interested in!
totally!!
Bach yes
No Kidding! I have one of these that I was preparing to teach with at our local grade school! I didn't search, The Algorithm read my mind! I don't know if I should be scared or grateful! I love the Music, RESPECT and Subscribed!
It's fascinating how this is essentially a deconstructed organ!
...which is, essentially, a bunch of pipes!
...which is far better than a piping bunch...
I'd call it a "distributed" organ
Yes, but you’d need four hands to play it.

your comment made my day :D
😃👍
😂👍
lol
So nice for your twin brothers to gather toghether to record this masterpiece
ABSOLUTEMENT.
I see what you did there
they even wore matching clothe and glasses for the occasion
@@nikgaualso even had matching fingerprints! How thoughtful!
Cloning has come so far!
FABULOUS performance. Bravo. I first discovered this fugue at the age of 15 and have exercised my brain with it up to this age of 84. Thanks very much
You beat me. I’m 83, and recall first hearing this fugue in concert when I was 19.
First heard this piece through Leopold Stokowski’s transcriptions for full orchestra. That orchestral version was beautiful.
i think i first heard this around age 13.... though that was only about 42 years ago :)
Couldn't agree more with all of you. If I were to explain the essence of a fugue this would be perfect. And then it's Bach of course. Does not get any better.
Is this from one of the Brandeburg Concertos or reworked from aspects of a couple of them ?
Man this guy shreds on the pepper grinder
Never knew there were such low bass Recorders. Awesome arrangement. Bach was amazing.
There are even recorders much larger and lower than that!
@@organist1982 As a Tuba player I am aware of the lung power needed. Even more so it would seem for a wind instrument. I have seen in person a Bass Recordrer, it resembled a Table Leg. I just enjoy playing my Alto and Soprano's.
The recorders are tenor in c', bass in f, great bass in c and (renaissance) sub bass in F.
@@THyperon I can only imagine the lung power needed to produce such low notes.
The beautiful sound of the recorder, such an underrated instrument.
Marvellous. Each time I meet a different aspect of Bach I am overwhelmed by his beauty and genius. Thank you.
Bach, o mestre dos mestres ... 🥰
Are they all four the same person?
@@1929030: Seem to be! If you click on "more", and then click on the first link in what comes up, you'll be taken to the website. It's extraordinary and, having read it, yes, they are all the same person!! Brilliant.
And he did it every week - and I mean just compose one more masterpiece, every week?
Bach is the best composer of all time
Bach laid the foundation for all subsequent musicians....Including the Rolling stones, deep Purple etc.
@@patricksmart5673yes, but that is not his fault … He also helped lay the foundations for so many great composers and musicians - (not just barbaric lazy slobs with eyes on darkness and decadence who can pick up an easy riff and make money, fame, and idols of themselves to get easy sex with kids and worldly gratification.)
Bach was a Christian… An uplifter of men’s souls - in praise of God.
Full Stop.
There is no such thing as the "best composer", it's only a matter of personal experience, as art is in its purest way.
@@Wesretsthere is not … but Bach
@@Videoviaggio Sure you lunatic.
The ARTICULATION on these! With bass instruments!
It's barely been 2:50 minutes but I feel like I've been bombarded with hours of music. That's one of the fun of this contrapuntal style.
What a musical family! quadruplets! You even have the same glasses!
It took me 10 seconds to realize this was not a real quartet. I was thinking how did anybody find four recorder players that looked the same. I now realize the the cheap music stand has the left diagonal bent the same way for all four players. BTW, this is excellent sound engineering. I really appreciate that.
Wow, those quadruplets are really talented, and impressively similar!
Next up, Thomas Talis' Spem In Alium.
I never saw or heard such a large recorder. It sounds very good. Imagine how much air it takes.
I played these instruments for 16 years. It takes a great amount of air to move a note in the Great Bass and the Contra Bass. Mainly I played the Bass. I never Played the tenor. Unfortunately I developed a breathing issue and can no longer carry a phrase on these instruments. 😢
There are even recorders much larger and lower than that!
@@doctor78212 I'm so sorry for you. As flutist I know what you're missing. Since Corona I also developped some aspiration problems. Good luck.
@@doctor78212 Yeah, me too.
Chaque fois que la musique de Bach est reprise avec un autre ou d’autres instruments que celui prévu à l’origine cela fait ressortir de façon renouvelée le génie du Maître qui parvient à rendre très agréable à l’oreille un exercice, le contrepoint, qui est en même temps un plaisir intellectuel. La façon dont les lignes mélodiques se mêlent, s’entrecroisent est une merveille de l’esprit humain.
Il faut que ces reprises soient parfaitement interprétées pour en saisir toute la beauté et c’est le cas ici. Grande clarté et belles articulations de ce quatuor. Merci Messieurs !
vous vous n'avez pas de bons yeux, mais au moins ce que vous dites est vrai !
@@nainposteur55 Pas de bons yeux ?!? Pas un bon cortex non plus on dirait, je ne comprends pas. Qu'ai-je mal vu ?
Vous n'avez pas vu que votre "Merci Messieurs" aurait dû s'écrire "Merci Monsieur" 😀.
A part ça, tout est bien vu !
@@StephTBM4 Vous voulez dire que les 4 instruments sont joués par une seule et même personne et qu'un habile montage fait croire qu'ils sont 4 ? Dans ce cas la technicité du montage est presque autant à saluer que la qualité musicale.
@@philippemassip8310 Oui !
What a wonderfully smooth, arboreal sound. I love this.
Thank you for introducing me to the word "arboreal"!
@@organist1982😄 Little wood nymphs having a tiny concert in their village in the hollow of a tree.
One of my favorite pieces by Bach, presented in my new favorite way... THANK YOU!
Bach is literally super cool and gorgeous and intellectually stimulating all at once..
Nicely stated. I completely agree. Bach is musical perfection.
Замечательное исполнение. Спасибо квартету деревянных духовых инструментов.
The Best Music will Never die ...
The Little is by far my favorite fugue and this performance of it is so well done. Thank you!
PERFECT!!! And now I can breathe again.
The same guy playing each of the lower recorders. Bravo!
Приятно смотреть на 4 братьев, так похожих и хорошо исполнивших это произведение! 🤝👋
The Picardi third at the end always gets me!
@shanbentz649 I can't help but think you are just showing off. :-)
Nice recording! I like the balance of instruments and room. Sweet performance, with warmth of breath and wood. Thanks for sharing a Bach fuge. Greetings from Cologne Germany.
The word is fugue, not fuge.
I loved playing in our Renaissance Collegium at college. Having the largest hands, I often played the bass recorder as well as krumhorns and shawm. You just reminded me that I transcribed some piece of music into something for two tenor recorders and bass. The sound was beautiful. I never knew there was a double bass recorder. Thanks for this gorgeous piece.
Bach is perfectly the antidote to the malaise that is effectively destroying our civilization!
Bach was a master inventor of beautiful sound constructions that continue to create magic whenever these compositions are expressed! This is absolutely lovely- thank you to all who made it possible for me to see and heat this today🩵
Beautiful! Bach has showed the post-Baroque, well-tempered musical world, the possibilities of the cosmos. I worship him as the greatest composer ever.
Ironically, those four musicians appear so utterly identical that I decided this must be an AI video. Hopefully not!
Well,
Prior to this, I didn’t know that the recorder was so capable. This was marvelous and thank you for performing such an excellent piece.
Ohhhh, that final chord is heavenly! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
This was not my intended find but so glad this showed up in my feed. Lovely!
Thank you! Your arrangement is a lot more fun to listen to than to hear it played on an organ, which I've always enjoyed. I just can't stop listening over and over again.
This is one of the best versions of this piece I’ve heard!
It's a close second to this one, personally. th-cam.com/video/s_BeGDkNRtA/w-d-xo.html
Knocked my socks off...sounds so beautiful...Vinaka vakalevu from Fiji...
I have always felt these instruments have a unique sound with a sense of humour. Wonderful. Thank you ❤😊
This is insane.
Blessed are you, for you bring us good tidings.
I heard this while listening to an organ student practicing in my church. I was twelve and this was my first time hearing the music of the Man from Eisenach.
I love how you retained the stereo effect for this! Really adds that last little bit of dimension.
Your mother must proud of her four sons !!!
Oh! omg I always secretly hoped for like James×4 in a natural church/chapel setting. The visuals, your multiplied musicianship, and dear god the acoustics... so pure. 😊🙏
[PS thank you for (leaving in) the key clicks, imo they are a subtle beautiful part of Baroque woodwind performances]
The acoustics aren't from the chapel though, the audio is recorded elsewhere and the echo is added in post. You can see in some places that the audio doesn't match the video
@@allcats2473 I must have/my mind's ear must have filled it in... beautiful in any case
@@andreawallenberger2668 Yes, very beautiful
This Bach guy wrote some of the best European music
Some of the best music. European or otherwise.
@@zavilov… that kind of goes without saying !!
J. S. Bach, the man who was on first name terms with God.
Identical quadruplets!! Amazing.
Meravigliosa esecuzione con strumenti inusuali, piacevolissimi ascolto e visione dei quattro valenti musicisti. Grazie sincere per la pubblicazione
The fugal GOAT at work! All hail!
Wow! Thanks! I could never master the recorder after a lifetime as an oboist. Well done.
Thanks so much !
This a wonderful ensemble for this piece. I know Bach would approve.
My first encounter of many I'm sure - divine!
I love the sound of untainted timber! Your finger spanse is amazing and your playing is beautiful.
Beautiful. A breath of fresh air.
Admit am not very familiar with the instruments, but am enjoying it thoroughly. Believe farthest to the left is a Recorder, maybe, but what a wonderful sound they all make - including the guy on the end playing the tree. Thank you for this gift.
Absolutely lovely performance! I’ve never seen these types of musical instruments that make such beautiful sounds. Thank you for sharing.
My favorite Bach piece ~ Interesting "Quartet" !!
Clever or silly, hard to decide; but Bach will always remain Bach.
Preciosa fuga (BWV578) en sol menor de J.S. Bach. Nos tiene acostumbrados a esto. Magnifico cuarteto de maderas.
Estoy impresionado con tan bella música, y esos instrumentos que jamás había visto dos de ellos, y lo más impresionante es que es el mismo intérprete tocando los cuatro instrumentos, tengo una gran curiosidad por saber cómo fue grabado este video.
Este cuarteto tiene chile habanero! Bach es siempre genial y este conjunto ha hecho partes un órgano! Qué maravilla!
almost enough recorders! gotta love it!
Trilling with recorder! Amazing!
Very very good.
You can hear the voices exactly
Respect
Wow. I started to think "hmmm, a bit faster than tit needs to be", but then I realized the battle woodwind people must have between fingering speed and breath! Excellent job!
Exquisite. Bravo!
Soul-stirring!
there is some pretty intense breathing going on there. Bravo
Absolutely superb. Nuff said.
Just beautiful. Loved the harmonies.♥️
This was amazing! Food for the soul of our wounded world. ❤
Fabulous playing!!! Also, I’m very happy I clicked on the transcript 😆
Thank you for this. I find that there are not too many videos on TH-cam featuring recorders so it's great to see and hear such a beautiful piece. I used to play soprano and bass in my youth but lung problems have put paid to that now. I no longer have my bass but came upon one of my soprano recently. I still have my small CD collection of wonderful music and musicians. Thank you once again.
Delightful. And clever.
Love this on the recorder quartet!
balance - first part frequently covers everyone up. Side note - a long trill is never the important part unless it’s alone.
Fascinating. I noticed the sounds produced with the fingering, as well as a little hiss in spots before the recorder speaks. A tracker organ would also have sounds, but from its mechanical action.
That contrabass recorder looks so cool
How very beautiful Bash would be do honored. Great musicians!!!
Bellísimo. Mis parabienes. 👏🏻
Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱.
Superbe, pour l'âme! Merci Bach
Mister Bach has lots of songs that go like this
Organ sonatas, fugues, cantatas,
I never know which is which.
Fantastic! Thank you so very much for posting (and playing) this!
The wee instrument played but one trill, and it was lovely; not especially frantic but a more graced trill over the bar. That's good art. That bit at the very end, I believe, is a mordent.
That'll always be my favorite fugue. Nicely done, especially considering those huge logs the two of you are huffing into.
Just wow. That you have THAT much air to huff.
us TUBAS agree!
Great way to start my day 5 2 2024 , thanks.
Fascinated!
Great editing!
Beautifully played, sublime.
And the lyrics are: Bach was born in sixteen hundred eighty-five.
Очень интересно, не слышал прежде фуг, для меня это приятное зрелище. Спасибо🙏💕
Beautiful!
Bravo
Wow. It's absolutely amazing.
Such talent.
Sehr, sehr schön! Zuerst dachte ich, es spielt eine Person nacheinander. Und dann wurde es digital zusammengefasst. Gibt es ja. Diese Fuge habe ich vor 40 Jahren im Studium auch gespielt. In Deutschland hat dieses Thema den Beinamen / Nickname: "Ich habe Bachweh". Grüße aus Bremen
This was fantastic. WOW.
Best Picardy third EVER. 🙂🎵
1'54": was expecting the bass note to be a semi-tone higher. But it's Bach, and if he can't dictate the rules, who can!
Elegant excellence by quadruple quartet
Sehr beeindruckend- ich liebe Bach!❤
Wow what beautiful music along with good acoustics, many thanks.
Oh my, what a great random find this is! haha One of my favorite bach pieces. The way you each handled and owned one part of the music was amazing! I'm thinking maybe a follow-up video of the "Gigue" fugue in g major would be a hoot!
