Aaah, Bach is always a great therapy for the mind and psyche. It is literally a balm for the soul. Thank you for the recording and long live Bach's work!
Remarkable sound that Wentz creates - sort of liquid & mellow without loss of precision. Tempos alone also give (my ear/brain) a sense of a new dimension to these wonderful pieces. As per BC notes, perhaps impossible to judge Bach's total intent, but one imagines he looks down from the empyrean, listens, & smiles.
Wow...So refreshing. I love the way they work together to keep tempo with all those lovely rubato. I don't usually like rubato driven performance in Baroque music, but this sounds very convincing for my surprise. I can see notes popping out from music sheets to dance with joy....creating three dimensional depth that sends a chill in my spine. I have also never listened to A minor sonata so intensely...with my eyes wide open with curiosity despite of the audio media. The beginning of E major sonata feels like swimming in warm water that heals every part of my body and spirit. The sound of flute is rich and round...I'm glad I clicked this. Thank you so much.
My grandfather was a student of a student of Bach - verified. I can quickly tell a piece is Bach and it too is felt in the soul. Grandpa was a composer/arranger in Germany and US - still being played widely in Germany.
He...Had a Loving mommy who sang to him while he was still forming on her belly... She was the original lightning rod to Music of the Gods and Goddesses..which Bach channeled from The musical Heavens.. As Bach heard infinity and Ecstatic Joy coming from God to him in the beautiful form of music Nature's way of allowing humans to Touch God!!!!⚠️🌏🌎🌍🌙🌙🌎☄️☄️ Then Imagine how much more music we have yet to CREATE And how many New young Bach's will arrive on the Musical scene In our future!!‼️‼️
That's the point that he, Bach Was trying to make.. That music for him was God himself And The Goddesses too Singing to Bach to Channel God❗❗‼️‼️⚠️🌙🌙🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🌓🌓🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛💯💯
I've listened to this video several times in the past few days. I truly love it, and I think it contains the best recording of the Musical Offering I've ever heard.
Nunca se bebe lo suficiente de BACH ...I Siempre hay una angustia hermosa, angustiosa calma, este temblor lleno de luz, puerta secreta que te lleva a tí, un mar que no retumba, un sol que no molesta...Insaciable belleza, alegría y paz pero también hastío, desesperación y congoja sin término, al mismo tiempo ...
Es el espíritu profundamente cristiano de Bach. La lucha de San Pablo en Romanos 7: la flaqueza humana y el dolor por un lado, que lo lleva a buscar el poder y la restauración que sólo pueden venir de Dios y en los cuales hay gozo indecible y paz perfecta. No me canso de oír a Bach.
I love listening to Jed Wentz’s interpretations. They are always wonderfully creative and stunning. He inspires me to approach my Bach with a playfulness and willingness to experiment. Thank you!
Because Bach is boring, dreary, headache-inducing, methodical, mechanical, outdated, irrelevant German music. NOT!!! Just kidding!!!!! But a lot of people (the other 99% of humanity) do feel this way.
Muy hermoso y sublime. Estoy muy feliz porque también estoy leyendo a E. Fromm, "El miedo a la libertad", preciosa lectura y bella música celestial. Gracias por compartirlo. Saludos desde Guatemala.
All the giant artists are found in ''brilliant classics''....specially those of Baroque music which is my preferred music age....Thanks to ''Brilliant Classics""
Is it just me in saying this: There's something lofty and elegant of the harpsichord. It possesses a historical quality speaking of past meetings and discussions among the European elites, in ball rooms of grandeur. Lit up by hundreds of candles, and a fire place in each corner of the performance and guest meeting areas. There is an earth sense to the instrument...a musicologist will put me in my place...Ha ha >
In the opening seconds I thought, wait, is this alto flute, with music transposed down?? But no, it's at pitch (415 tuning notwithstanding). It's just that this particular traverso he uses, and the way he plays it, gives an incredibly dark, mellow, round tone that makes it seem lower than it actually is. Even in the high registers it's never shrill, and the low and mid registers have a roundness I'm not used to hearing even from other traversos. Bravo to this and to their interpretations!
I went to a piano to see whether it was transposed down! It's all in the tone, I can hear not talent, but hours of practice in that tone, beautiful indeed.
Let's see how many countries have Bach reached. I am listening to Bach from Bangladesh. Which part of the world from you are? Please leave your country's name in the reply section.
Europeans: This is only one example of your heritage. You must remember and realize about the accomplishments of your ancestors! As they created our civilization, We must secure and defend it!
Bach created all this BWK in a time when there was no Health Insurance, no eletrical heating, no labor contracts.......Maybe our problem today is the excess of certainty...Beijos pra todos.
And so he died at age 65 after being blinded in the last years of his life after an unsuccessful eye surgery. Maybe with today's health insurance and level fo care, electrical heating or labour contracts he would have lived to be 85, with full command of his facilities, giving us 30% more of his wonderful music than what we already have.
Both his parents died from illness before he was 10. If it wasnt for his older brother he would have been a homeless orphan. His first wife died from acute illness. At least 6 of his children died in childhood. His widow died in poverty because the obstacles of war prevent her from receiving support from her children. Every year in Leipzig Bach had to fight the city council for the music budget. He also worried about finding employment for his sons and his students. No, life was not a utopia back then.

Хрестоматийно известный шедевр Баха требует абсолютной математически выверенной точности в выборе удержании темпа, передачи темпо-ритмических параметров, динамической палитры, нюансировки..
I am living proof of this. At 75 years old, I have listened to Bach almost every day of my life, I must have heard at least once each of his works, even the cantatas, and not only did this not convert me, it did not prevent me from losing my faith at the age of 25, and never regretting it! This concert of preachers and church mice that make him the fifth evangelist is irritating: if there is one thing in the world that hears more nonsense than a painting in a museum, it is Bach's music on TH-cam! These flute sonatas are not religious music at all. When Bach was in Weimar and Köthen, he wrote music that was completely secular, because that's what his boss told him to do. In Leipzig, he wrote church music: he was paid for it. And we know that he was much happier in Weimar and Köthen than in Leipzig, where he was constantly in conflict with the Town Council, formed of narrow-minded bourgeois bigots. In addition to his work as a musician and organist, he had to supervise brats at St. Thomas's school, and he should have taught Latin, but I don't think he did. Bach had no college education, and that may explain part of his genius: he is not completely imbued with the fashionable ideas, he digests them, he interprets them in his own way. When I compare Bach's Magnificat to that of his predecessor Kuhnau, I get the impression that Kuhnau was more "fashionable" than Bach. I don't dispute that Bach believed in God like almost everyone else in his time, but we forget too much that most composers of music in the 18th century, especially in Germany, were small-time employees who had little say in the matter, and that if many of them made religious music, it was because it was one of the only ways to monetize their talent and keep the pot boiling.

It scares me to think that there are Internet basement dwellers with huge collections of droning synthesizer music that they'd rather listen to over this. Why go to some obscure Bandcamp page to listen to video game music knockoffs when this exists? Might as well experience the real deal.
maybe it is a kind of intellectual pride; like they can't humble their intellects enough to heed the judgement of the ages that Bach, Mozart and Beethoven are the greatest classical musicians-and maybe we must give, if I might risk the expression, *the palm of victory*, to Bach, as he was greatly admired by and prior in time to both Mozart and Beethoven. I mean maybe they are wise enough to understand that much popular music is poisonous at worst, and boring at best, but too vain to submit to the judgement of ancestors.
@@lukehall8151 Wise? Mostly just dumb. In fairness, if "education" might have introduced them to Bach & the masters, as children, they might have opened themselves to classics. It's also possible to draw some pleasure & interest from many forms of music. Toscanini liked jazz, Andre Previn & Wynton Marsalis play & compose in both genres. Guitarists like the Romeros, Narciso Yepes, Luis Maravillas play flamenco & classical at a high level.
Why would appreciating electronic music that uses synthesizers scare you? This classical chamber music is awesome, and synthesizer music can be as well. And I hope you don't mean to belittle videogame music, because some truly remarkable music has been made by videogame composers. Some of it is even classically-based. You sound a bit more sheltered and close-minded that those "basement-dwellers," if you ask me. If you open your mind to more genres, you will reap a richer enjoyment from the very diverse world of music that exists today. I can go from techno, to metal, to videogame soundtracks, to chamber music and more depending on my mood.
@@Synathidy You missed my point. In the first sentence, I said that it scares me when people would rather listen to uninspired electronic synth music instead of this, meaning people whose minds are closed to classical and Baroque music, but listen to something that very poorly attempts to imitate it on old electronic equipment. I love a lot of different kinds of electronic (mostly ambient) music, but people who listen to that stuff will often dismiss classical music as "boring" or "too happy" or the like, which is really ignorant.
Nous sommes dans une période covidienne où les égarés asymptomatiques de l'art sonore et de la poésie passent à côté de ça pour écouter de clinquants rappeux dont les travaux délétères, d’une pauvreté verbale dont rien n’approche et réservés à une élite restreinte, déroulent comme des confettis torsadés de pénibles architectures bruitistes et vulgaires sans éclairs ni ambition artistique.. Quelle pitié¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bach has found a way to let God to you through music
What a beautiful and sharp observation.
Bach has left an indelible mark, humanity is grateful for this great man.
Yes
Bach's music is truly a gift from the Lord Jesus

It seems that BWV 1038 and 1039 have been wrongly numbered, both are in G major. BWV 1038 should be BWV 1039 and the other way around.
The tempo fluctuations in the Allamande give me a headache and aren't necessary to create interest.

Bach was motivated to write exceptional music through HIS belief in a deity. But to say that his music brings us to believe in a God is a stretch!
