Having practiced some classical trumpet, I have no idea how anyone can coax such a tender lovely sound out of a double reed historical oboe. Emma is truly an artist of the highest order.
I just love the sound an Oboe makes in an orchestra such as this. Especially Violin and Oboe. I especially love the last piece beginning at about 13:20. Exhilarating! The Oboe lady is great.
Sublime music. If mankind never produced anything else of worth or beauty, the music of Bach alone would be sufficient justification for our existence.
One day, when concerts are played in front of an audience and people are allowed to travel again, I have to see the NBS at least once live, they are such a great inspiration for my own musicianship, every single piece they play is a joy for my ears!!
The curious observation is that I can't hear the nuances, nor peer closely at the artists' faces and instruments. Not from the audience can I hear the nuances as I can with these recorded performances. I'm also distracted by the uncomfortable seating, the cold of the building, the loud perfume of the lady in front of me, or the unbelievable coughing from behind me.
He is Shunske Sato, concertmaster and artistic director of the Netherlands Bach Society from 2018 through May 2023. "Outstanding" is something of an understatement.
This made me cry. I've come back to Bach and Baroque music after decades away, and I continue to be devastated (both emotionally and sonically) by his music. Such a beautiful performance.

Limitations, the Oboe does exactly what an Oboe was designed to do... “This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” ― William Shakespeare, Hamlet
@@antonteodor6305 From what I could find on Wikipedia the baroque oboe doesn't have an octave key and the bore is much wider. Hence, it is easier to play high notes with modern oboes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oboe
Modern classical musicians are amazingly talented. I played oboe in high school and I know hard it is to move from out-of-tune squawking to apparent effortlessness, even on a modern instrument.
I love this concerto. It's so optimistic. Bach engages the emotions on a deeper level, so welcome after a year of isolation that we've all been experiencing globally. Thank you Bach. You live on forever through your music ♥️
Danke für Ihre Worte. Sie haben wundervoll beschrieben, wie seine Musik die Seele aufrichtet.

Joachim Schürmann, 47798 Krefeld, Deutschland
Every time I listen to a Bach concerto (admittedly, very infrequently) I have to smile at the bouncy harpsichord just happily doing its thing underneath all the more featured instruments. My mind has made in inextricable connection between the harpsichord and Bach, for whatever reason.
Encore un concert d'une très haute tenue. Le sens de l'écoute. Le phrasé. L'entente parfaite du groupe. Le plaisir manifeste de jouer ensemble. Et cette musique d'une richesse presque insondable. Un régal. Encore une référence. Woooaaa !👏
Emma Black is so brilliant in this performance.. beautiful tonality, and expressive delivery of every line, flowing an d blending perfectly with others.. goosebumps! ;)
This music somehow manages to affect me in the most simple yet potent way. After listening to it this morning I couldn’t help but grin and whistle it to myself as I walked down the street. This piece didn’t crash over me in great waves of emotion like his passions did, but their respective roles are equally important. I am very grateful for this music that reminds me of all the beauty in those simple moments.
It has been more than 40 years since I heard this Siciliano for the first time. I was living in Belgium, and a light snow was falling. It was the perfect aural landscape. On hearing this magical sound, one is frozen in time, with no desire to return to the madness of daily life. I am so grateful for this splendid performance by Emma Black and the Netherlands Bach Society.
That Siciliano is so much like the passion rhythms - and the finale is so much like the Brandenburg spirit - he took the forms and turned them around into so many moods.
I recognize this concerto, but I heard it for the first time on a record I just bought in July, 1967 in Minnesota. The arrangement then was in E major for harpsichord, and was performed by Suzanna Ruzikova. Either way it is magnificent! Bach will always live through his music.
Wunderbares Konzert. Berührende Interpretation. Diese Musik kennt keine Umwege und sucht niemals Schranken, sondern öffnet den Sinn für die Wahrnehmung des wirklich Wichtigen. Vielen Dank der Netherlands Bach Society.
A few notes about this concert BWV 1053 All three movements of this concerto exist in parallel versions in two cantatas, BWV 169 (in D major and B minor) and BWV 49 (in E major), which were first performed within two weeks of each other ir 1726.In the cantatas, the solo instrument was the organ, with a range of f#°-c#3 But if two low passages are excepted that were not probably part of the original concerto, the range becomes, bo-c#3. This is exactly a semitone lower than the standard range of the hautboy. The solo line also allows places to breathe. Several writers have therefore suggested that this concerto was originally conceived for hautboy a semitone higher, in E flat major. Rifkin reconstructed the piece for hautboy in E flat and recorded it in May 1983 with Stephen Hammer playing the solo. On the basis of copying mistakes in the original parts, Rifkin's argument for E flat is convincing. Still, if an hautboy was the original solo instrument, it seems unlikely that the piece was originally conceived in this key because (with the exception of the second movement, which fits the hautboy well in C minor) it is so awkward and difficult. E flat is a semitone removed from the hautboy's primary scale of D major, with all that that entails in the way of cross-fingerings, etc. It is a particularly challenging key on a technical revel, notably because of the presence of Ab, produced by half-closing hole 3. It was no doubt because of its technical problems that E flat major was rarely used for hautboy solos in the eighteenth century. Bach used it in less than 3 per cent of his hautboy solos, and-when he did, as in BWV 187/5, he exploited the key's unusual characteristics. In this concerto, however, E flat acts merely to create obstacles. It is difficult to see why Bach would have chosen this key when he originally conceived the piece. On the other hand, there is a key that works well: F major, a step higher. In F, with two more natural fingerings per octave, the piece is freer in sound, and the difficulties caused by the presence of Ebs and Abs are eliminated. But there is a further twist. The solo line sounds as good or better on an hautbois d'amour as on the treble hautboy. And when the hautbois d'amour plays in fingered F/D minor/F, it sounds in D/B minor/D, which are the keys of two of the three movements in the cantata versions. It is probably not a coincidence that the two fast movements in the cantata versions have prominent parts for hautbois d'amour. From the beginning of the piece, the first violin's arpeggiated introductory figure sounds better (of course) in D than E flat. In both extant versions (the concerto and the cantata), the last movement is in E. If it is transposed down a step to D, there is a passage in the violin parts that extends below the bottom note of the violin. But this passage succeeds equally well an octave higher; Bach had to keep it low in the organ version because an hautbois d'amour doubled the first violin, and would otherwise have ascended to fingered f3, beyond the instrument's range. In the harpsichord concerto, without the con- straint of the doubling wind part, Bach rewrote this section in a lighter, airier manner, but understandably kept the strings in the lower octave in order not to cover the harpsichord (a consideration that was not necessary for an hautbois d'amour soloist). In fingered F, there is one note in the organ version that exceeds the hautbois d'amour's normal upper range. The analogous measure in the harpsichord concerto takes this note down an octave, along with the first notes of the first and second beats. This is a curious anomaly; on a harpsichord, there is no physical or musical reason to have gone down an octave at this point. The answer is probably that the part was copied from an original for hautbois d'amour, where the octave break was necessary. Bars 13-14, 23-4, and 66-7 in the first movement contain some independent (though unimportant) writing for winds that Bach probably added when arranging the movement for the cantata.
Wonderful contribution, thank you! In one of his essays, GB Shaw commented favorably on the Oboe d’Amor, and suggested it should replace the oboe on a general basis. Having heard each, I like each but certainly understand why Shaw liked the Oboe D’Amor so much.
She does a very nice job holding it down. This is not an easy piece to play. She balances out ornamentation very well. Not too flashy, not too "style rustico". I noted that she had that quiet moment after ending her solo in the Siciliano that some of us get when we play Bach music. The man had the uncanny ability to reach into your head. Doing so while playing is more profound. The whole group plays well, in a balanced and mature way.
I don't know which tugs at me more: The exquisite tone of the Baroque oboe, or the way in which each phrase Bach wrote comes to a resolution. So I'll settle for both, and thanks to NBS for allowing me to experience both in this lovely small-ensemble version!
Just come to the conclusion that Bach is my ‘salvation’ in this turbulent moments our beloved Planet and Humanity is passing through...gratitude for NBS 🙏🏻 for sharing each of Bach’s masterpieces with the world! It’s strengthening and comforting for the heart and soul♥️
Sólo puedo agardecer a ustedes, Netherlands Bach Society, por el tremendo esfuerzo que significa cultivar el legado de J.S. Bach y traer su música hasta mi hogar.
All is so right with the world when I have the privilege of starting my day right here. Such deep thanks to all: musicians, sound and camera crews. What a blessing you are! 🙏🏻
A have a dream. To see the 9th Symphony Beethoven live. I got tickets to Viena last June. Canceled. Now I added a new one dream. The NBS live too. Fortunately they have this wonderful You tube channel.
Thank you Emma Black. A wonderfull variation of BWV 1053. I am convinced Mr. Bach would have loved it as it is in his style. I admire you of the Netherlands Bach Society. You are doing a great Job in the reconstruction of JSBs work. Thank you all. Hans Wagenmakers

I enjoy smaller ensembles like this because you can see and hear the communication between players. I am a particularly mediocre musician, but the chance to interact with other musicians is a great joy.
Stunning. All of you at the Netherlands Bach Society are to be commended. I have never heard Bach played better, everything you have done is of superior quality.
io spesso mi domando come e' possibile che la quasi totalita' della gente ignora completamente l'esistenza di questa musica sublime. bach sei il piu' grande, il vero padre di tutta la musica.
I assume the public were ecstatic, but I wish they had held for two seconds before clapping, to allow the full roundness of the sound to sink in. What a splendid performance. Oh and NBS already did 1055 in harpsichord, but it's glorious in oboe d'amore! One day maybe
I just came across this tonight and now I am sitting here, spellbound. What a playing! And I swear, I have never heard this Oboe Concerto before. Thank you, Netherlands Bach Society!
But when I read the introduction this is a reconstruction of an oboe consert, based on a keyboard concerto in E major. Not so strange that I never heard this before. Anyway, this is beautiful music!
I love the 2nd and 3rd movements so much!! Can’t count how many times I was amazed by how powerful music is while watching videos from this channel. Thanks to Bach and thanks to Netherland Bach Society 🙌
Yes. I agree. The first moment had a lot of balance problems. Also the soloist did not project some/one of the low register passages in the 1st movement.
I felt cozy listening to this spectacular performance Bach's works are an integral part of my life There is something extraordinary in their splendid performances From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
Even considering that my own musical abilities are beneath humble, I still feel that I am a part of the Netherlands Bach Society. The music, the cinematography-which Rembrandt would have admired, and all of the elegant, attractive players make this channel my absolute favorite. Gracias de mi rinconcito en España.
The siciliano is so sad. After only a few bars you can feel your heart being almost literally gripped and clutched. The music immediately takes me to Bach's Golgotha.
En tiempos de confusion e incertidumbre esta maravillosa expresion del espiritu que es la musica nos recuerda todo lo hermoso,noble y bueno que hay en el alma humana. Magistral la orquesta y la solista.
Oboists however did very well out of Bach's Concerto for Oboe and Violin, one of the most beautiful of all concertos in the classical repertory, with an adagio second movement that can just about break one's heart.
The NBS is one of my favorite groups. Bach, and amazing musicians. I recently started listening to the Baroque Oboe. It has such a richer sound than a typical oboe. This remake of a keyboard piece is so beautiful words can't give it justice. Anazing work!
So beautiful, so divine the sweet sound of Oboe, and when it is a work of Bach it becomes even more sublime. Thank you so much for always warming my soul!
Son clair et allègre du Hautbois magnifié par la musique de Bach , cette musique unique qui depuis près de trois siecle illumine la vie de ceux sur lesquels elle se pose. La NBS contribue avec son talent à porter ces oeuvres lumineuses , et à nous enchanter au quotidien .. Maniérée , cette interpretation ? C'est une opinion tout à fait personnelle ( que je ne partage pas !). Je la trouve bien au contraire enjouée et limpide ...merci aux musiciens pour ce moment de bonheur !
Música en estado "puro", no encuentro otra manera de referirme a este concierto perfecto. Increíble cómo un grupo de seis músicos forma una orquesta que acompaña a la excelente solista, sin que falte nada
Good morning all! I just came across the NBS while doing an internet search for Vivaldi Spring. As Spring 2021 is one month from today, I was hopeful, and Vivaldi popped into my head. Just listened to NBS interpretation of Vivaldi's Spring and Summer, and was blown away! Thank you NBS! So glad I found you.
Bach ha voluto rendere omaggio a Vivaldi in diversi brani ed occasioni ;in quel tempo Vivaldi era gia' famoso in tutta Europa essendo ancora in vita.OK? Alfonso Ferraro.
Dieses Ensemble gibt einem soviel Freude, Verbindung zu unserer eigenen Tiefe und Spritualität durch die wunderbare Musik von Bach.Danke für dieses grosse Geschenk !
Makes sense. We have Bach 6 packs for solo violin, violin and harpsichord, solo cello, keyboard partitas, orchestral suites, flute sonatas, the Brandenburg concertos, lute keyboard, a 3 pack for viola da gamba. Bach certainly could've made a 6 pack for oboe, maybe even 6 packs for recorder and viola?
This is just a wonderful version of J.S, Bach Oboe Concerto In F major. Congratulations, Orchestra Keyboards and Oboe perfect. Thank You for charring. Greetings from Dallas, Texas, U.S.A.
Emma is amazing! What a beautiful Oboe, and sound! Doesn't she ever breathe?! Ha ha! Thank you for such beautiful music, so much character, and a joy to listen to!
The sublimity never ends! Truly an unceasing ending stream of bliss! Ah, what joy as can only be experienced through the gifts of my Lord. Thank you God for these privileges'.

Those old-fashioned instruments really do make great sound. Splendid performance!
Stunning. All of you at the Netherlands Bach Society are to be commended. I have never heard Bach played better, everything you have done is of superior quality.
How can 211 people not like this video???? Bravíssimo!!!!!!
That happen when you made a missclick
io spesso mi domando come e' possibile che la quasi totalita' della gente ignora completamente l'esistenza di questa musica
sublime. bach sei il piu' grande, il vero padre di tutta la musica.
I assume the public were ecstatic, but I wish they had held for two seconds before clapping, to allow the full roundness of the sound to sink in. What a splendid performance. Oh and NBS already did 1055 in harpsichord, but it's glorious in oboe d'amore! One day maybe
This piece represents all that is good and lovely in the gift of music our Creator has given us.
Thank you Bach
Soli Deo Gloria
I just came across this tonight and now I am sitting here, spellbound. What a playing! And I swear, I have never heard this Oboe Concerto before. Thank you, Netherlands Bach Society!
But when I read the introduction this is a reconstruction of an oboe consert, based on a keyboard concerto in E major. Not so strange that I never heard this before. Anyway, this is beautiful music!

@@jvdb0001 Hi dude playing fast, I get it
Thanks to the Netherlands Bach Society - that is true love for music!
That level of musicality is the best accomplishment anyone can do in life.
I love the 2nd and 3rd movements so much!! Can’t count how many times I was amazed by how powerful music is while watching videos from this channel. Thanks to Bach and thanks to Netherland Bach Society 🙌
Yes. I agree. The first moment had a lot of balance problems. Also the soloist did not project some/one of the low register passages in the 1st movement.
The Oboe sounds soooooo good with that orchestra. The entire ensemble is to be applauded.
Beautiful! The clear voice of the oboe emphasises some lovely phrasing that the keyboard version tends to obscure.

at times where good music and good conversation are hard to find this is just refreshing ... Congratulations!!
I felt cozy listening to this spectacular performance
Bach's works are an integral part of my life
There is something extraordinary in their splendid performances

It's great to have ensembles like the NBS with such a robust online presence. Helping more people find comfort in Bach's music every day.
Even considering that my own musical abilities are beneath humble, I still feel that I am a part of the Netherlands Bach Society. The music, the cinematography-which Rembrandt would have admired, and all of the elegant, attractive players make this channel my absolute favorite.
Gracias de mi rinconcito en España.
The siciliano is so sad. After only a few bars you can feel your heart being almost literally gripped and clutched. The music immediately takes me to Bach's Golgotha.
En tiempos de confusion e incertidumbre esta maravillosa expresion del espiritu que es la musica nos recuerda todo lo hermoso,noble y bueno que hay en el alma humana.
Magistral la orquesta y la solista.
I absolutely love this music, the oboe's sweet tune makes me happy, thanks Bacherenigning!
Oboists however did very well out of Bach's Concerto for Oboe and Violin, one of the most beautiful of all concertos in the classical repertory, with an adagio second movement that can just about break one's heart.
The NBS is one of my favorite groups. Bach, and amazing musicians. I recently started listening to the Baroque Oboe. It has such a richer sound than a typical oboe. This remake of a keyboard piece is so beautiful words can't give it justice. Anazing work!
So beautiful, so divine the sweet sound of Oboe, and when it is a work of Bach it becomes even more sublime. Thank you so much for always warming my soul!
Ethereal...soothing....in this crazy covid world, we need this music and the NBS so badly! Thanks so much for providing this moment of sanity.
Son clair et allègre du Hautbois magnifié par la musique de Bach , cette musique unique qui depuis près de trois siecle illumine la vie de ceux sur lesquels elle se pose. La NBS contribue avec son talent à porter ces oeuvres lumineuses , et à nous enchanter au quotidien .. Maniérée , cette interpretation ? C'est une opinion tout à fait personnelle ( que je ne partage pas !). Je la trouve bien au contraire enjouée et limpide ...merci aux musiciens pour ce moment de bonheur !
Bach is a good match for the oboe
The comfort of Bach’s oboe is beyond compare
Yes..thank you to the artist of the BACH SOCIETY of NETHERLAND
Brynjar Hoff
I enjoy this interpretation of Emma Black and the baroque orchestra. Congratulations to the Netherlands Bach Society once again! ❤️🎵👏
Música en estado "puro", no encuentro otra manera de referirme a este concierto perfecto. Increíble cómo un grupo de seis músicos forma una orquesta que acompaña a la excelente solista, sin que falte nada
Thanks. You all are wonderful for sharing your talent and the best music ever written. 👏👏👏👏👏👏😍
Always a pleasure hearing this wonderful ensamble before bed time so relaxing 🤔💯🙏
Me too.
Good morning all! I just came across the NBS while doing an internet search for Vivaldi Spring. As Spring 2021 is one month from today, I was hopeful, and Vivaldi popped into my head. Just listened to NBS interpretation of Vivaldi's Spring and Summer, and was blown away! Thank you NBS! So glad I found you.
Bach ha voluto rendere omaggio a Vivaldi in diversi brani ed occasioni ;in quel tempo Vivaldi era gia' famoso in tutta Europa essendo ancora in vita.OK? Alfonso Ferraro.
Lovely performance with outstanding Australian soloist Emma Black. Congratulations Emma!
Oboe barroco ; que belleza !! Gracias a Netherlands Bach Society !
Maravilloso conjunto Neerlandés y su oboe excelente y maravilloso !!!
Dieses Ensemble gibt einem soviel Freude, Verbindung zu unserer eigenen Tiefe und Spritualität durch die wunderbare Musik von Bach.Danke für dieses grosse Geschenk !
Quanta nobiltà d'animo che traspare dalla musica di J.S.Bach ..Compositore divino. 💖🎶🎼🎻🎺 🎹
THIS TOTALLY NATURALLY WOOD INSTRUMENT SOUNDS MAGNIFICENT.
Always here to hear (and see) beautiful music.
Thank you NBS for such true beauty.🎶❤️
The original performance standards bring out more of the power of this concerto than earlier recordings. Keep up all of your wonderful work guys!
Fantastic! This is my favourite Bach concerto. Well done Nederlanders 👍🏼👍🏼
bach's writing for oboe is my favorite of his. found mostly in the cantatas and the orchestral suites
The best music never dies...
Makes sense. We have Bach 6 packs for solo violin, violin and harpsichord, solo cello, keyboard partitas, orchestral suites, flute sonatas, the Brandenburg concertos, lute keyboard, a 3 pack for viola da gamba. Bach certainly could've made a 6 pack for oboe, maybe even 6 packs for recorder and viola?
how does she coax that sound out of a hunk of wood and two slices of reed? gah, amazing.
I 'tried' the oboe for about 7 years in high school...so darn hard !!!
Huge amounts of hard work, love and devotion. Someone said to Fritz Kreisler "I would give my life to play so well". He said, "I did".
And without going bald.
What a gift to mankind. Thank you so much for sharing
How beautifully the violin comes in at 05:29.
Wonderful performance- you guys never cease to outdo yourselves. Thank you for sharing it on TH-cam.
Admirable la destreza de la solista en oboe, para extraer la dulce melancolia del instrumento.
La orquesta se luce magistral.
I had the great pleasure recently of hearing Emma Black and Shunske Sato at a performance in Sydney with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra.
Brilliant! I like Bach music especially performed by NBS and Oboe sounds like a sound of Heaven. Appreciate healing...
Sublime prestation de tout l’orchestre et un grand merci à l’haubois❤️❤️❤️🇫🇷
This is just a wonderful version of J.S, Bach Oboe Concerto In F major. Congratulations, Orchestra Keyboards and Oboe perfect. Thank You for charring. Greetings from Dallas, Texas, U.S.A.
Thank you so much NBS and Emma Black for this beautiful and inspiring concerto.
Emma is amazing! What a beautiful Oboe, and sound! Doesn't she ever breathe?! Ha ha! Thank you for such beautiful music, so much character, and a joy to listen to!
What a breath of fresh air. Thank you and Bravi tutti.
I often think Bach must be German for Bliss...Thank you NBS for my daily draught of these beautiful compositions.
Utterly Beautiful... Thank you so much Netherlands Bach Society!
The sublimity never ends! Truly an unceasing ending stream of bliss! Ah, what joy as can only be experienced through the gifts of my Lord. Thank you God for these privileges'.
Admirable, aplaudible, fantástico. El legado de un grande que hace grandes a muchos otros.
Captivating! their control of melodic lines is just amazing.
