@ijdoti Bach was a fan of the Bratsche (German name for Viola) and loved playing it. There is also a little controversy about this concerto; the parts for the Gamben (Gambe is the German name for the knee-violin / Viola da gamba) appear to be too simple or too meaningless compared to the rest of the composition. The Concerto no. 6 is known to be the oldest of the Brandenburg concertos, so there is speculation that it might have originally been a piece of traditional chamber music, a so-called Trio sonata for 2x Bratsche and Continuo, and that the rest of the music was added by Bach later where he recycled older material for some of the Viola da gamba sections.
Indeed! He was a violist himself, and according to CPE Bach and Forkel, he enjoyed playing the viola so that he could hear both sides of the melody. I think that anecdote highlights the importance of the viola in an ensemble.
That’s Hildegarde “Hille” Perl. I found this bit of history about her de Gamba; “The man who gave it to me found it in a cloister in Tyrol in the year 1952-apparently it had been lying in the attic for a few hundred years. I am so lucky it found its way to me and I hope it will play on, long after I am gone. I know that in the year 1953, Ingo Muthesius brought it back into playing condition: He had to make a new neck for it but kept the original pegs and the lion’s head. The rest of the instrument is pretty much in original condition, except of course for the string holder, the fingerboard, and bridge.” stringsmagazine.com/violist-da-gamba-hille-perl-on-her-instruments-venerable-beauty/
I have enjoyed all 6 of the Brandenburg Concertos by the Freiburger Barockorchester, and I must say that these works of Bach make me happy and grateful to be alive - they are a wonderful fountain of renewal. Thank you for making them available.
Perfect rendition. What a shame the camera never showed the cellist going through hell in the last movement in those brutal 16th note passages. I have played that cello part twice in my life and it never gets any easier. Super performance
Yes, quite an oversight on the part of the videographers ... :( fantastic playing though. As a viola player in my younger years, this is a piece I always idolized. : )
The third movement is something straight from God to Bach. The syncopation. In my top ten favorite classical works. A DJ called it something like "carefree rollerblading". To me it is the music of the spheres, Bach's evocation of the passing of time in the turning of the seasons or the drifting of the universe. Insanely beautiful.
I (a drummer) was tapping time in 6s towards the end of the third movement when I got caught when JSB dropped a half measure. The passage continued, repeated - and he did it again.

My kitty Juju is a Bach scholar besides a catnip delitante and informs me the reason why Bach wrote this piece for Violas is because his patron the Prince of Cothen was an indifferent viola player and its composition was to accommodate the prince. Juju especially likes to dance the gigue to the 3rd movement.
I come to this over and over. This is what Bach imagined as he wrote. The syncing problems seem to have been fixed, but this is a fears for the ears more than the eyes so it didn't matter.
OMFG- A Violone!!!! I don't believe I've ever seen one being played before. I lurve that they do all period instruments in this series - the wood winds and brass in earlier concertos are also period instruments without any of the valves and keys that modern instruments have. The music as written by Bach.
Well the "baroque trumpet" they had on concerto no. 2 is not period accurate because it has intonation holes, which didn't exist historically. But it doesn't affect the sound maybe that much and you get much better intonation so it's not such a bad trade-off.
Classical music's emphasis on structure and form provides a foundation for understanding the principles of composition. It serves as a valuable educational resource for aspiring musicians and music enthusiasts. 📚🎓🎵
The spacing of the slow movement as it relates to Bach's counterpoint is astonishing. And the two violas make the entire piece thick and sinewy and yet lyrical. Great performance of something that shaped my thinking since age 14. Dog.

Gorgeous playing as usual from the Freiburgers! And in Schloss Köthen, where this music was likely first heard! Definitely one for the ages. The first gamba player looks very witchy. I'd love to know how they tune that six-string bass!
I discovered this one later than the other, more well known Brandenburgs. The second movements sounds like an anguished prayer saying 'Lord have Mercy on my soul'. Or the agony in the garden of Gethesmane
I think the director of photography in this production must have had a crush on the first viola da gamba player. Didn't see much of that cello soloist.
I like the cellist with the raven black hair (Hille Perl). She's gorgeous. Regardless, it really is remarkable how Bach created such a sense of tranquil yearning here, against all usual logic, by the exclusion of violins.
Iain Robb In my opinion, it was actually simple but genius to exclude the violins. Naturally, they have a more brilliant sound, making them not as good at calm relaxed music.
+Iain Robb She's playing a bass viol (viola da gamba) The gamba parts are actually kind of dull by gamba standards, but her part is a bit difficult because in mvt 3 it is high in the range. In other words many notes are played beyond the frets. Both gamba parts are actually better suited to tenor viols since the tenor viol is a bit higher and could avoid those unfretted notes. :-)
This was playing while I was on hold for about a half hour with a company, over and over, I held the speaker of one phone up to the mic on the other one and hit Google a song, it worked! Unfortunate that she hung up on me but oh well.
A piece for string ensemble that doesn't even bother to have parts for the violins? What a dream! 🤩
The original is for two viole da braccio, two viole da gamba, violoncello, violone and cembalo. Bach’s interpretaties of your dream.
@ijdoti Bach was a fan of the Bratsche (German name for Viola) and loved playing it. There is also a little controversy about this concerto; the parts for the Gamben (Gambe is the German name for the knee-violin / Viola da gamba) appear to be too simple or too meaningless compared to the rest of the composition.

Scholars think that this piece helped bach get fired from his post in Cöthen cause of his lack of violins
This kind of music will never die nor be forgotten!
LOL after it was almost completely forgotten until the 1850s. ;-)
It will survive in Asia.
Concerto n°6 just melts my soul. It shows me greater things.
It’s always been my favorite.
Bach- the man who understood and appreciated the viola the most!
Indeed! He was a violist himself, and according to CPE Bach and Forkel, he enjoyed playing the viola so that he could hear both sides of the melody. I think that anecdote highlights the importance of the viola in an ensemble.
You can plainly see his affinity for the viola in Brandenburg 3. It gets to play some pretty hot licks that typical only 1st violin gets to play.
Bartok would like to throw his hat in the ring.
Morticia Adams' da gamba is pretty spectacular. I love the little head carved into the scroll.
Just precis vad jag tänkte😁
She is Michael Jackson
Her name is Hille Perl-one of the world's great gamba players
Peter O'Malley Yes! I really like her. Her daughter is also a musician and has collaborated with on two (?) CDs.

“I will play viola da gamba in your little ensemble, BUT I SHALL NOT ABANDON THE GOTH LIFESTYLE!”

The third movement is probably a masterpiece of Bach.
true!
Probably?
which concerto? there are 5 different "third movement"s
Just the 3th? For me all!
Its my favorite. Others are good too. I think this particular band had played it best.
The interaction between the two viola da braccios is amazing.
