  • The two solo parts of the Concerto for two violins in D minor, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, have survived in Bach’s own handwriting. This autograph dates from around 1730, a few years after the composer had moved from Köthen to Leipzig. Bach composed most of his instrumental concertos in the period 1717-1723, while working at the court of Leopold von Anhalt-Köthen, but this work appears to be an exception.
    Recorded for the project All of Bach on October 7th 2016 at the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

      Why bother following Bach's tempo markings. The first movement may be vivace, but the second is allegro -- a far cry from Largo. And the last frenetic movement is an Allegro on steroids. The playing is great, the tempos drain any emotion from this masterpiece.

      skorbitdusha, I am sorry for my inadequate English. I strongly disagree with you. But on the other hand, you express yourself very good, It's funny to read! This orchestra belongs to H.I.P.- musicans. Research through many years gives us performances like this one. Because the second movement has the time signature 12/8, "Largo" should not be too slow.

      Indeed! The only thing a bigger orchestra accomplishes is more loudness. With a smaller orchestra we can actually hear the instruments better. You need a big orchestra for Beethoven because Beethoven is all about being loud. Bach is sublime. Bach does not need more than a single violin to produce the most sublime and the most brilliant music ever written.

    When I hear masterpieces like this, I always feel sorry for the people who haven´t heard this kind of music. Some people think they have no interest in listening to Bachs music, or classical music in general, but they are just not curious enough. Or maybe their parents and social environment didnt/doesnt listen to this kind of music and they just dont really know or realize that its there. They dont know what they are missing... Therefore it is very important to try out things and new stuff to explore whats out there and what you might like.

      This is so true. My mom comes from a very poor background and was the first from her family to earn a college degree (not even the men of the family had those), and my father comes from a simple, middle class family. They did not particularly encourage me to listening to classical music, but they did raise a curious child who reflected on what they listened to and percieved everything that was happening in the music. I then discovered classical music, and, even though I did not have any particular interest in Bach and thought his music was "dry", it took me nothing but a small listen to the WTC and all those wonderful fugues to fall in love with his music. Here I am today with a second-hand digital keyboard studying as much as I can in hope of ever playing his masterpiece myself.
      All what is needed is to stimulate curiosity, critical thought and eliminate harmful stigmas from the mind, and one can easily appreciate a masterpiece, no matter if it was done today or millenia ago.

    This is my favorite of Bach’s violin concertos. I first heard it on a summer afternoon,when I was twenty years old. I was reading a biography of Jonathan Swift when my local classical radio station started playing a recording of this piece. The first movement was so compelling, I put the book down and just listened. When the second movement started, I thought it was the most sublime music I had ever heard. I still think so, and I want it to be played at my funeral.

    How fortunate the world is to have 3 truly magnificent and fabulous Bach specialist ensembles....I am hard pressed to say one is better than the other...Netherlands Bach Society, J. S. Bach Foundation in Switzerland with Maestro
    Rudolf Lutz, & The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra. For me, all three of these ensembles are brilliant with incredible artists & phenomenal music directors. As a professional musician, I am an admirer & fan of all three. I'm sure there are other wonderful ensembles that also do great artistic justice to the music of the great J.S. Bach, but these three ensembles have truly become my favorite interpreters of his glorious music. It is not just listening to these artists, but watching them perform is sheer joy for the heart, mind & soul!

    I have watched this music performance dozens of times and shared it with others. The level of enjoyment the video brought to me is still increasing every single time. The excellent recording of music-making and the engagement of the visual excitement Sato, Seans, and the baroque orchestra created s a celebration of humanity, a success of making connections with the great soul of the past to our present selves. Their authentic approach to Bach's double does not hinder them from pouring freshness of utmost human expression with this almost improvisational spirit. A real joy of satisfaction for listeners who love Bach!

    • @andrewtannenbaum1

      There are three kinds of early clappers. The pedantic one's that feel they need to let everyone else know it's the final movement of the piece. These are the least forgivable. Then there are the overly enthusiastic ones. Well, we can at least share their joy, if not their sensibility. Finally, there are the ones that need to be first at everything. They are hardly tolerated as we might a dog's barking - it's simply what they do - but we must question their training.

    Skimming throught the comments I am struck by the fact that most commenters consider this to be the best or one of the best pieces by J. S. Bach. I cannot help wondering how much of Bach's works they know. Agreed this is excellent, but Bach wrote tons of pieces which are at least equally wonderful... Only they are not well-know... Take the cantatas for instance, more than 200 of them, and the vast majority is in my opinion at least on that level. So yes, this is wonderful. This is Bach!
