For Twoset fans, this is what an ensemble can achieve with violas and without violins. 😂 Well I have to admit that the composer was a demigod though. 😍
What i like most about these performers is how earnest they appear in their performance. It's not arrogant and overdone. The movement seems to augment the music. Well done.
If I need to pick a video of a piece to share witrh colleagues or students, but don't have time to preview it myself, Voices of Music always has me covered. I can ALWAYS trust that their version will be played flawlessly, beautifully, and with historical authenticity. I really do love you people. Your passion, and dedication to the music is second to none. That combined with highly skilled and talented musicians keeps me coming back again, and again, and again. Oh, and did I mention that your individual personalities shine through in some moments in a very endearing way?
@@VoicesofMusic The usual instrumentation is: two viole da braccio, two viole da gamba, cello, violone, and harpsichord. Why did you delete the harpsichord?
Me, too, on both counts. I live in the North Bay, but without a vehicle, I can't make it into the city. Bummer! I've lived here for 10 years, known about VoM for at least 7, and have yet to see them live, there is nothing like live performance.
Among the six Brandeburg concerti this one's my favorite. Surprisingly the tempi chosen fits my heatbeat and make me feel comfortable listening to, unlike with other versions. Thank you
I realise that I'm well over four years late to this performance - but these wonderfully skilled and dedicated musicians never cease to amaze and uplift my spirit! Thank you all, so much. 🇺🇦
Dan Abnormal - Right on. This and number four are my two go-to's. Of course, they are all six SUPERB. _"Peace and beauty."_ Yes. That's exactly what this is. =]
Just love it!!!! 👍👍👍👍 The violists and cellist play with such passion and power!! Writing as an amateur violinist here. I can play Brandenburg 2 & 3 by heart.
Oh brilliant! This is the work that turned me into a baroque fanatic 5 decades ago. (I learned the gamba and eventually played in this work.) Love the liveliness and togetherness you seem to have. Please tell the cellist that I think I am in love (even though I'm a gamba player). What a treasure she is. Drives that music along beautifully. I wish I could contribute but apparently I can't from where I am. All the best!
Thanks so much, we will pass the message along. You can donate from virtually anywhere, if you are so inclined, but it's totally fine just to listen voicesofmusic.org/donate.html
What a moving rendition of Bach's emotion. The second movement, Adagio(?), was particularly striking, and brought a tear to my eye when the viola on the left gently chimed in to her viola colleague to her left, and and to the cello, with such a delicate touch of Wehmut (melancholy) that a German soul cannot refrain from being touched by the Master's eloquence of depth of feeling that make him the composer that all subsequent successors looked to for inspiration. Thank you for a performance that touches the heart.
So far I have only been able to enjoy your performances through your TH-cam offerings though I live just 35 miles away. VoM is such a treat! We simply can't have you wither away due to this health crisis. I'm glad to have been able to make a small donation. If I could only win the lottery! Brandenburg № 6 is one of my favorites. All of them are great, but ... I don't know, there us something extra about № 6 for me. Perhaps it's the lack of the violins. I don't know. It's just wonderful so I'm really looking forward to this tonight. In a word, YIPPEE!
hier heb ik zelfs niet op durven hopen.....deze Bach en met jullie ! heel ongebruikelijk maar zelfs 'n beetje tranen. Wat een pronkstuk van de Componist en van Jullie die het zó uitvoeren ! Virtueel omhels ik iedereen tot ik 7-voudig hoor ' ja, zó is het wel genoeg hoor ! Veel dank ! ! Roefie
Lovely, lovely, lovely! Vigorous, beautifully balanced, perfect transitions--thoroughly satisfying. What a robust sound from "second" violist Blumenstock. Everyone having so much fun!
The best version. All the Brandenburg Concerts are well interpreted with the more skilled and synced musicians, and the best quality of sound! Thank you, and congratulations!!

The Brandenburg Concertos are a refuge of beauty and symmetry during these unpredictable times, especially as interpreted by the splendid Voices of Music.
Great voices of music 👍👍👍 many thanksssss from Italy 🌹🌹🌹 Grandissimi, stimatissimi, un grazie dall'Italia per le vostre preziose esecuzioni che donano nuova luce.
J.S.Bach overtreft hier zichzelf nmm , heftig boeiend stuk ! en ik heb ook wat vragen over de viola da braccio maar ga daar eerst zelf voor aan het werk.
You're naugthy!! Where did you keep this nice piece all this time!!! … Only yoking!! Thanks for sharing this nice great piece of Bach from all of you, masters!! Take care. Diego

When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest; the universal language of mankind.
I have never seen this "viola da gamba" before (I have zero knowledge of musical instruments, I just enjoy the music and the performance)... it's curious to me that one is a seven-strings version and the other one, just six.
This is a fantastic performance! Can anything be done about the clicking at the beginning of the recording, and again at 0'43" and 1'10" ? Sort of sounds like the harpsichord when it's playing eighth notes, but it's not consistent throughout. Not a huge deal but it was a little distracting. Bravo to all though!
For Twoset fans, this is what an ensemble can achieve with violas and without violins. 😂
Well I have to admit that the composer was a demigod though. 😍
I assume the Twoset don't have the listening experience to appreciate this kind of performance anyway!
What i like most about these performers is how earnest they appear in their performance. It's not arrogant and overdone. The movement seems to augment the music. Well done.

@Graham Butler i'm totally agree with you !
@@VoicesofMusic The usual instrumentation is: two viole da braccio, two viole da gamba, cello, violone, and harpsichord. Why did you delete the harpsichord?
Hmmmmm... Sorry, it's in the back!
:)
Voices of Music are the best! Their no drama authenticity is so, I don't know, transformative, lovely, respectful of composer, wonderful.
This interpretation made me cry.
Thank you so much for the wonderful preformance.
Thanks for listening!
As a violist, I feel blessed with your interpretation. Bravo 👏
Same here. You put my playing to shame.
I'm still not used to see a lot viola da gambas in an orchestra. But this is really beautiful and majestic
I love Voices of Music.
I want to visit there at least once in my lifetime
:)
Me, too, on both counts. I live in the North Bay, but without a vehicle, I can't make it into the city. Bummer! I've lived here for 10 years, known about VoM for at least 7, and have yet to see them live, there is nothing like live performance.
Fully agreed!
Save me a seat, I’ll bring the popcorn 😎
Linear flow, independent instruments, outstanding performance. True Bach.. Bravo!
Thank you.
Bach!!!! Un genio!!! Maestro del barroco..bellisimoo bravo.....😍😉

Thank you... Saludos desde mexico...
thank you.
Such beautiful orchestration. It's always refreshing to watch these.

Hi! I didn't expect to see you here.
I am a big fan of Voices of Music. It was so brilliant performance. Thank you so much for sharing this music.
Our pleasure!
Among the six Brandeburg concerti this one's my favorite. Surprisingly the tempi chosen fits my heatbeat and make me feel comfortable listening to, unlike with other versions. Thank you
Brandenburg is one of my all time favorite pieces ever written😍
Which one? This one?
The best Brandenburg ♥️ no violins, but 2 violas ♥️♥️
Fr
Yes, a masterpiece. This is the music which is always fresh. And inspiring. Greetings from Poland.
Thank you very much!
One of Bach's most spiritual compositions!
Die Rache der Bratschen!🤭
Ich glaube Bach hätte seine helle Freude.
Bravo!
I realise that I'm well over four years late to this performance - but these wonderfully skilled and dedicated musicians never cease to amaze and uplift my spirit! Thank you all, so much. 🇺🇦
Thank you very much!
What an absolute wonderful conversation that all these musicians are having with each other. A conversation written down by a guy 300
years ago
The cellist really tore it up.
you mean to perform or compete with great success ?
This and Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 have always been among my favourite J.S. Bach pieces. Thank you for bringing peace and beauty to us.
Dan Abnormal
What about the other Brandenburg concertos?
Dan Abnormal - Right on. This and number four are my two go-to's. Of course, they are all six SUPERB.
_"Peace and beauty."_ Yes. That's exactly what this is. =]
Beautiful tot of Brandy... just what's needed on a dull, grey morning 😀
Cheers!

This is a ripping great piece of music and you guys really "bring it home" in the third movement. Your performance simply swings!
Thank you.

Thanks, Win!
In the first movement the modulation to C minor gives me goosebumps.
Lovely, lovely, lovely! Vigorous, beautifully balanced, perfect transitions--thoroughly satisfying. What a robust sound from "second" violist Blumenstock. Everyone having so much fun!
Many thanks!
Voices Of Music would do very well as a television music channel worldwide!!
Lovely! Wonderful playing, thank you so much for sharing with us all, so we can fly for a bit.
Glad you enjoyed it!

It a compression artifact from YT that amplifies the quill sound of the harpsichord (B Flat)...
@@VoicesofMusic that makes sense. I hadn't heard this in previous videos, so I thought I'd ask. Thanks!
