Johann Sebastian Bach
Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, BWV 1043
1. Vivace
2. Largo ma non tanto
3. Allegro
David Oistakh, violin
Yehudi Menuhin, violin
Orchestre Chambre de l'ORTF
Pierre Capdevielle conductor
Live recording. Paris, October 1958 - เพลง
When two titans of the violin get together without a hint of ego and subjugate their genius to the greatest titan of them all, Bach, this is the result. Pure music from beginning to end: no gimmicks, no showing off, no vying for supremacy. Even a modest orchestra played beyond itself, inspired, no doubt, by being in the presence of titans, present and past. The second movement, of course, ranks among the very highest achievements of mankind in any field. It makes one feel privileged to be alive!
todays artist are not acting in this way animore. They find their name more important than the name of the composer. that is also what I like of Menuhim and Oistrakh: they play the music but do not show emotions.
@@3bonvivant YoYo Ma is this calibre of musician
Yep
And don't speak the English language, so it was hard to comprended. But my father has played with Sir Menuhin and I'm very proud about it. This two wunderfull person Menuhin and Oistrakh are in my heart forever. And they live in my when I hear the heaven music of Bach and all the greatest componists 🌈🌏🌎🌍🙏🙏🙏🕉️☮️☯️✡️🛐🕎🔯✝️☦️☪️ When I

David Oistrakh (1908-1974) and Yehudi Menuhin (1916-1999) were two of the most renowned violinists of the 20th century. They had different backgrounds and styles, but they shared a deep admiration and friendship. They collaborated on several occasions, most notably in a historic performance of Bach's Double Violin Concerto in D minor, BWV 1043, in Paris in 1958. The concerto showcases their virtuosity, musicality and rapport, as they play with perfect synchronization and expression. The performance was recorded live and can be heard online on TH-cam. It is widely regarded as one of the best interpretations of Bach's masterpiece.
That second part is something different .Can't imagine how a human being composed such a divine masterpiece.
Same. It's amazing.
your comment just deserves such a musical divinity
Bach is/was not human :3
I'm with you....the second movement gives glimpses of heaven.
Bach was Godly
I used to play this masterpiece with my brother when we were kids, students in a music school.It didn 't sound so heavenly,of course. But now, when I'm old,I often dream playing it. All I can do is to listen to it, and my heart literaly flies to heaven.
That's beautiful God Bless!
How old are you?
İ wish you one day play it again.
That beautiful shadow of a smile on Oistrakh's face at 8:00!
Probably the maximum smile allowed by Soviet law. 😑
In my opinion by far the best recording of Bach Doppelkonzert there is!
The second movement..... I don't want to use words... It is clearly inspired from the other world. How could you have a glimpse to that world Johann Sebastian Bach?
very often I listen to this piece, to the two angels and every time is a little period in heaven….rest in peace my Heros.
Yes, it is.
Puoi dirlo forte!!
If heaven would exist, there is no doubt that Menuhin and Oistrack would be playing this.
@@nicolaasstempels8207 I agree with that but how to find out??
The second movement is so beautiful that listening to it almost hurts.
This concerto played by those masters is the reason why life is worth living. One of the greatest expressions of the Divine on Earth.
So God created Bach, and heard that everything was wonderful!!! Greetings for Brazil!!!
When god created music he ask an advice from J.S. Bach 😅
mov.1- Vivace 0:00
mov.2- Largo ma non tanto 4:29
mov.3- Allegro 12:28
Thank you
Thank you. 🙏
Te țuc vericu!!
when Menuhin and Oistrakh performed this piece I was just a little boy of 9 years old. When I heared this performes for the first time I was mayby 12 years old. now, I am a hombre viego and still I have tears in my eyes when I listen to my two heroes, playing Bach's double concerto.
We heard them on the Albert Hall early 1960s - never forgotten the wonder of the evening. Do you know what date it would have been please?
@@andylloydwilliams8508 no. I'm sorry
Many thanks for replying . Hopefully I WILL track it down!
Marvelous playing by two angels of violin Menuhin and Oistrakh. Considered the best of ever this playing is magical and emotionally unsurpassable. Moscow 1948

This performance is not from Moscow, and not from 1948, and such absurd claim is not even imaginable - in the late Stalin's period, with raging onset of the cold war? with American Menuhin?? - as it is clearly said - Paris, 1958, Salle Pleyel; Oistrach was allowed to tour the West at that point.
2nd mov - 4:28
3rd mov - 12:20
The best performance ever.
I remember listening to this piece on French TV back in the early 2000's. It was like discovering a treasure. Or even much more than that, it was like understanding what excellence in music meant. These two gentlemen are class and distinction incarnated.
Hello I'm from resent Twoset video again to enjoy this new concerto
Music of the spheres - you an hear these perfect musicians among the stars.
Yes, you're right.
I listened for a few minutes, and suddenly the overflow of emotion and the bliss of life, as conveyed in the music, filled me. It requires master interpreters to keep to the subtleties and structure of the music which yet conveys such inspiration in this composition.
That’s deep!!!
Awesome performance and an incredibly good sound quality from the year 1957!
we will meet again, in heaven, my heroes
I saw him live in concert in the late 90s with Royal Philharmonic in San Francisco playing this concerto and about 10 years earlier conducting San Francisco Symphony at New Year Concert. Great memories.
Second movement is simply amazing. Divine, heavenly music
no words can describe this feeling!
This just sounds majestic. 2nd movement definitely making me close to tears. Sounds heavenly, otherworldly beautiful.
Always brings me to tears also.
How on earth could someone composed such music? It it just too beautiful. I always have to cry and this piece is a must on my funaral.
Maybe he was an alien with special mission on Earth! They can compose this because they are ahead of us in their evolution.
Perfection absolue de l'interprétation de ces deux génies.... Merci pour ce partage!
Die 'Träne' im Herzen, niemals deutlicher als hier ❣️
Listening to classical music is like stepping into a world where emotions are translated into musical notes. The skillful orchestration and precise arrangements create a rich tapestry of sound that speaks to the soul. 🎵❤
Aufeinander hören und sich miteinander abstimmen! Bach' s humanistische Botschaft , hier von Oistrakh und Menuhin ( trotz veralteter Tontechnik aufgenommen !) in unvergesslicher Perfektion gespielt, gilt heute mehr denn je!!!
This is beyond sublime, it is miraculous.
It’s a miracle how nature produce music - the forest’s spruce , struck with horses’ tails made to vibrate on lambs’ guts. The duo violinists must be heavenly angels.
Ich bin mir sicher, dass Bach diese Interpretation und vor allem diesen runden Klang der Soloinstrumente so manchen hektischen, dünn und heiser klingenden modernen Zugängen unter dem Deckmantel des angeblichen Originalklangs bevorzugt hätte. Echte Musikerpersönlichkeiten, zu denen man aufschauen kann. Vielen Dank fürs Hochladen!
une merveille qui restera a tout jamais dans l histoire de la musique oistrakh bach Menuhin , la musique a son apogée , la divine perfection
La perfection n'existe pas en musique
Perfection...how? How was bach ever able to compose this? Utter divinity by two absolute titans...no hysterics. Beautiful
İt is not a composition. İt is something else. İt would be impossible to compose this. And Mozart also didnt compose. They received these things ready. They just wrote them down. Like a radio receiver receiving signal from a distant radio source.
i love this music, it's a masterpiece, i play this whenever i feel like a rich nobel at 1600s
Eine vollendete Darbietung des Doppelkonzerts seitens zweier Ausnahmekünstler, die quasi im Gleichklang von Geist und Seele und vermöge ihres Könnens eine Harmonie von übnerirdischer Größe und Schönheit der musikalischer Gedanken in einer Weise erleben lassen, die auf das Jenseitige zu weisen scheint. Auch die großartigen Beiträge aller anderen Mitwirkenden erzeugen den Eindruck von einer ewig gültigen Meisterschaft der Interpretation. .
1958...not yesterday I wasn't even born yet...an eternal masterpiece...no words
This nis the best performance of this piece ever, it ever fails to move me to tears. Tears of beauty and awe and happiness.
agreed. i have ears from hell and often strings sound a little bit off, especially in this difficult piece....then i stumbled upon this
i’m glad to know i’m not the only one that cries at the beauty of this piece.
La sérénité émanant de l' Andante, nous donne l'impression d'avoir été présents lors de la Création de l'Univers ! ... Cet ' Absolu ', si intensément bienfaisant, est, sans conteste, un rare moment musical !
Nulla può il Tempo

Bellezza e Armonia.
Essenza Divina. ❤
I'm glad to hear the violinist on 1 ear & the other at the other side 👍
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was one of the greatest composers of all time. Among his many works, the Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, BWV 1043, also known as the Double Violin Concerto, stands out as a masterpiece of Baroque music.
The concerto was composed around 1730, when Bach was the director of the Collegium Musicum in Leipzig, a musical society that gave regular concerts. Bach wrote the concerto for two solo violins, strings and basso continuo (a group of instruments that provide the harmonic foundation).
The concerto consists of three movements: a fast and lively Vivace, a slow and expressive Largo ma non tanto, and a final Allegro that combines elements of fugue and ritornello (a recurring musical theme). The two solo violins have a subtle yet expressive relationship throughout the work, engaging in dialogue, imitation and counterpoint.
The concerto is one of Bach's most successful works, and has been admired by musicians and audiences for centuries. It showcases Bach's skill in writing for multiple voices and his mastery of musical forms and structures. The concerto is also a testament to Bach's creativity and originality, as he adapted and transformed the Italian concerto style to suit his own musical vision.
The concerto was arranged by Bach himself for two harpsichords around 1736-1737, and was performed by his son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach in Frankfurt an der Oder in the 1730s. The original score and parts were inherited by Carl Philipp Emanuel after his father's death, but the score is now lost. The concerto was rediscovered in the 19th century and has since become one of the most popular and frequently performed works by Bach.
The concerto is a musical treasure that deserves to be heard and appreciated by everyone.
Music feels incomplete without the coughs of the audience
and computer mouse clicks, of course
@Laura Rodriguez Lmao 🤣 😂 so right. XD
Ppl really out here dying trying not to cough. It’s not a coincidence that the entire audience had to cough
actually, there was one at 0:45
@@maxwang2562 I believe a sneeze at 10:17 as well
I like how they just hold their coughs with maximum strength,Hoping not to ruin the music
And then just let out the suppressed coughs right after second movement
The voice of God,
Bach? A Mankind’s Genius!
And those 2!!!!
Így van
Transcendent, timeless art. Thank you for having it available for all.
This could be the concert Menuhin and Oistrakh gave in Bucharest in 1958 at the first edition of Enescu Festival. Composer George Enescu was Menuhin's first violin teacher, the one that opened all roads for him to play with the Lamoreaux Orchestra. Menuhin also thought of him as the best teacher he's ever had and has considered him a dear friend until Enescu's death in 1955.
Proud to be Romanian!
I think music doesn't get any more beautiful than this. Ty Classical vault.
Oof what a powerful piece of music. Incredible. So much being said without words. The emotion and expression……amazing.
This is a great upload. Luck of us that people in the world find these jewelries and share them to the world
i remember playing this song for my school's chamber orchestra auditions and getting concertmaster
10:08 - 10:38 is heaven on earth
genius!
One of my favorite pieces by Bach. I so love the second movement. No other concertos compare to this one.
Tears of Gratitude 🙏💙 sublime
Love all the coughing at the 12:15 mark. People were really holding it in!
Fact: both of them played this concerto with George Enescu once and this performance was dedicated by Menuhin to his great teacher.
When I first saw this I cried. This Is Sublime. Love the black and white
Co za przepiękna gra. Chciałoby się słuchać bez końca. Chcę się żyć jeszcze bardziej słuchając takiej muzyki i takich mistrzów. Chapeu bas.
Once you hear this song, you will never forget it from your ears.
A few months later, in the same year, 1958, the two violin titans met again in Bucharest and played the same work under the baton of George Georgescu, for the first "George Enescu" Festival.
Beautiful!!
Wunderschön---ein Zauberer auf der Geige----mein Vater musizierte mal mit ihm----für mich als Kind eine so schöne Erinnerung
THANKS
All I can say is, beautiful...
Csodálatos volt. 🙏💖 (Éva from Budapest 2022. December 11.)
I cant.t wait for Bach music after his resurection
Unfassbar schön. Ein Amerikaner aus (weiß-)russisch-jüdischer Familie und ein "sowjetischer-russischer", aus der Ukraine stammend - einfach zwei große Musiker und zwei große Menschen, die den Hörer zu Bach in den Himmel heben.
The great violin masters. One of them is from USSR. They are fantastic.
Yes, about the greatest violinist I know of, one from the West (Menuhin) and the other from the East (Oistrakh). At the hight of the cold war.
Beautiful, every time I listen to this I have difficulty to keep it dry.
russian school! along with neapolitan one of the best
Da
Советские !
Two great Jewish musicians.
Божественно
A doua parte a acestui concert este cea mai frumoasă lucrare muzicala scrisa vreodata . Bach reda trăirile inimii umane intru-un fel de care putini compozitori au reușit vreodată sa se apropie.
Thank you.
it is sad to see the first 10 seconds as the most repeated part. This is the best interpretation I can think of.
I think it is the most repeated part because people always replay it 😂
@@LisztApologist That's not how it works
@@malekmestiri9715 how are you sure
It's MARVELLOUS!!!!!! THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH.
Brilliant, spetacular !!! 👏👏👏
i enjoy this version so much,,,
Hermosos, inigualables, los adoro!
Their expression is awesome.
It is like angels came down to earth💗💞💞💝
Grand moment de bonheur.
The audio is incredible. Just a little off-putting that the video and audio are a second delayed
Zum Niederknien schön. Pure Glückseligkeit.
3 genial musician...
Wunderbar !
C'est fou que tout le monde s'extasie autant sur le deuxième mouvement... J'ai adoré le 3ème plus que les deux autres ^^
bah c'est que les mouvements extrêmes sont là uniquement pour mettre le mouvement lent en valeur. Il n' ya pas que chez Bach où les mouvements lents sont les plus beaux . mais Chez bach c' est encore plus marquants ( enfin ce n'est que mon opinion et je la partage comme disaient Dupont et Dupond
No me canso de escucharlos.. para mí la mejor versión hasta ahora.. acepto alguien me sugiera otra. Gracias, saludo a todos 🙏
4:29 min is my moment.....so beautiful....
世界最高位マエスト様世界最高のバイオリニスト様の真心込めた夜明けの朝日のような素晴らしい美しい名曲お届け皆様のハアトに感謝しますこれからも楽しく喜んで動画美画像拝見させて頂きますワンダフルでした
Великая музыка великого и мудрого Иоганна Себастьяна Баха, прекрасная музыка и исполнение, браво.
Я со стрима Дофа.
Excellent
Quelle maîtrise de l'archer ! 🎼 Pour une musique si vivifiante, Merci
2人の偉大な人の演奏です。2人とも異なるけど、高貴な音楽が伝わって来ます。この人のようになりたい。
En el segundo movimiento hay dos veces que Menuhin se desempasta y expresa algo muy diferenye que llama mucho la atención y que provoca un sentimiento inconmensurablemente tierno. Esos fueron momentos muy importantes.
Oui!!
Merveilleux tempo !
❤❤❤❤❤love it
I always loved this one the most. Big daddy Bach of course. But then Ostreich, first violin is never given the proper video time during his solos. The audio is way off. Yehudi is just glad to be there. The hard core Russian bow hands. It’s magical.
