@@robertomarano9075 acording yo Harnonkourt the BEST the 6;for me its hard to say,but maybe the second with the powerful first movement and the melancólico second MOV
I went through all the performances of the Brandenburg Concerts available on TH-cam. This is by far the best. You are immersed in a barock atmosphere as nowhere else. True artists who are giving their best. Touching.
For me, it's always the hornists that make or break this concerto, these two masters were a rare find, absolutely amazing. So much so, I had to look them up -- Teunis van der Zwart and Erwin Wieringa. So glad this is online. Thank you.
My mother was a violinist in orchestras in Illinois, South Dakota, Georgia, Ohio, Michigan, France, and Korea. I still live in he 120+ year old Victorian she bought about 3 decades ago due to the 12 foot ceilings and wide large archway. She played with friends on a regular basis with our piano, a second violin, a cello in many combos. Her love of music rubbed off on me. She played Bach most often. While I don't have a favorite composer, much like my mother, the Brandenburg Concertos have always been a favorite, along with Vivaldi's four season. I especially love when it's done on period instruments, which this entire chamber orchestra seems to be using. Andnot just because it's called the Baroque Orchestra since that doesn't always mean period instruments. Very well done.
Classical music is a sublime conversation between composer and listener. The notes, carefully crafted by masterminds like Bach and Haydn, resonate across centuries, inviting us to engage in a dialogue with the profound emotions and ideas embedded in each piece. It's a conversation that spans cultures, generations, and the very essence of the human experience.
That's what you get from Baroque instruments, often called "natural" instruments. No plastic, no rubber, no artificial products at all, or at least no modern components. The only exception to that might be the reeds, since the original reed might be hard, if not impossible to replicate, due to the rarity of components. The small metal mouth pieces of some of the horns might be modern as well. But that's really all. I'm sure even the violins, violas, cello, and double bass are 99.9% authentic. Again, things like the bridges, might be baroque in style and design, but made from more modern woods, as well as components of the bows, though I'm not really sure on bows since I know less about bows.
I am in Berlin for a few days and I walked through the Brandenburg gates yesterday, I simply wanted to celebrate Bach and his concerto. Thank-you Google for referring me to the Freiburger Barokorchester.
Once upon the time, almost 40 years ago, hatte ich in Eisenach ein Krummhaus gesehen, where the Greatest Master Johannes Sebastian Bach was born. I adore His music!
Estevan Hinojosa We both are old men by now, lol! thank you (and all others) for the complement though. I still use this recording regularly to prepare, when I play this on concerts (like today)
Wow, those horn players are spectacular. Playing Brandenburg 1 on any horn is difficult, but on natural horns? The harmonics of natural horns really add to this piece. Lovely. Oh yeah, the horn/oboe quintet is wonderful.
Extraordinary interpretation with ancient instruments and tecniques. The location is in Cothen, where Bach used to work and live with his enlarging family.
Ecco,suggerisco,dove non sia possibile installare altoparlanti sulle città,di provvedere a fornire tutte le città d'Italia e se possibile del mondo carri come quello di Tespi a girare una volta al giorno per le strade a ricordare che cosa è l'arte dei suoni che l'Inventore dell'universo offrì a noi creature umane per farci accorgere a che livello di dignità ci ha invitato a portarci.Con Bach e tutti i fratelli del suo livello.
Wunderbar! The trio of horns and oboes sounds like something Bach wrote to entertain his little ones. I see 2, 3 and 4 year olds dancing around just like they do today when there is something catchy on the radio.
The second movement lives up to its categorical nomenclature, ADAGIO, for it is one of the saddest, yet strangely and langurously august pieces, ever composed by mere mortal...
These musicians played this concerto as it was meant to be played with enthusiasm and passion. A masterpiece by Bach. The female lead violinist is gorgeous, she looks like Irene Papas.
I've just found this having heard it this morning on Classic FM. Yes, she is gorgeous, is it just me, or did the camera man spend a lot of time focusing on her magnificent decolletage ? :0)
Every time I listen to this I feel like I notice something new. One of my favorite things to listen to is the bassoon and low strings carrying the bass movement and just sounds soo nice. Also, I find it interesting that the “historically accurate” horn playing would be with the hand out of the bell. But with the hand in the bell and doing hand stopping, like these hornists are doing, the sound is so much warmer and rounder. So even though it might not be how Bach’s orchestra would have done it, I love the horn sound much more. Bravo to the whole orchestra for this flawless interpretation :)
Yes. Especially because they are baroque horns and don't have valves. The notes are changed manually with the right hand, which is positioned under the bell.
I admit I am a complete newbie when it comes to classical music in terms of knowing the 1st from the 4th from the 6th🤦🏽♀️ but what I do know is I love this music 😍alwayssss enjoy the classical orchestra performances I've been blessed to get to witness, and I admire EVERYONE who commented on this particular comment, because it's very impressive to a newbie to classical music like me ❣️
Lauren, welcome to the wonderful world of classical music. As you listen to it more and more, you will automatically gain knowledge. why? because you are open minded and you start from a position of just loving what you hear. Listen to it every day and you will find yourself loving it even more. I started out just listening to the classics, mozart symphonies Bach like this one but after something like 30 years came back to it again and this time I have delved much deeper thanks to you tube. For instance I never liked opera but a few years ago started to listen to various aria's. beautiful arias, then went back to regular concerto's etc but found myself missing the beautiful singing voices to go along with the great music. every day you discover something new. It has become a spiritual thing for me, it draws you closer to the divine. The sheer unimaginable beauty of it, the perfection of it, she sheer joy it brings and peace of course. At least for me. Here is a good example, I did not know Vivaldi did operas, but this is part of one th-cam.com/video/B9YdKNUO42A/w-d-xo.html and another one, just this short one th-cam.com/video/UO76d3UK6Lc/w-d-xo.html listen to this part 02:00 - Sit nomen Domine (Largo) but really the whole thing is great along with about 10,000 others. it is truly limitless
I've just realised why Bach's orchestral music output was relative small. Nobody in his day could play it!! This is not easy music and this orchestra absolutely nail it. Wonderful musicianship, wonderful music written 300 years ago. How much of today's sub standard rubbish will last as long. My guess is very, very little.
Clearly the best rendition of Brandenburg Concerto 1 I have heard (and seen) to date. Fluid and flawless throughout. The camera angles were superb. The viewer has an immersive experience of actually being at the performance. A+
Great playing! I would have liked to hear more tasteful "graces" from the lead players, particularly the violino piccolo player. Other than that -- flawless!

Aquí es un diálogo muy bonito entre el concertino es precioso el tema que lo inicia la flauta de Bec ella es una especialista en este instrumento cómo le responde el violín que también es una gran violinista y luego pasa al clave es fantástico saludos
A música Clássica, além de acalmar e relaxar, nos proporcionam momentos de paz interior e uma sensação de estar flutuando. No caso dessa parte uma obra prima, melodia maravilhosa e um certo deslizar por entre os acordes. Maravilhoso.
Hey they should all be playing standing up except for the cello/gambas and cembalo. At Sans Souci we had to wear the fully Monty, my wig was bigger than Handel's, a disaster when wet by rain, the talc turns to cement. They used lead sulphate in his day!
Compare the interpretations of the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra to the ones of Orchestra Mozart under the direction of Claudio Abbado. Which do you like better? th-cam.com/play/PLBjoEdEVMABJhjc66cvtxhvEaTjEC3hkz.html
We nearly always come Bach to the Freiburger group. What also counts, IMO, is that these guys appear to have quite a few leads. I am sure that helps to create a more fascinating and broader consensus on what they are doing. If they had a PayPal account attached to this page, I'd send them $$ every time we listened to them. :-). Perhaps Google should arrange that. It would only be fair.
The notion that violinists must stand for the whole performance bothers. Why are horns, originally used to improve hunting, excluded from this requirement? Fair's fair. If violinists must suffer in this manner, all stringed instruments should share the same fate. Make the cellists stand & hold their instruments high.
