Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 | Claudio Abbado & the Orchestra Mozart

- Claudio Abbado and the Orchestra Mozart perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major, BWV 1047 at the Teatro Municipale Valli in Reggio Emilia, Italy (2007).
Of the six Brandenburg Concertos, this is likely the most well-known - with its wonderfully ceremonial, blaring trumpet in the first and third movements. In Bach's day, the trumpet was generally reserved solely for military music. This makes the use of trumpet in this second Brandenburg Concerto an anomaly, shaping the direction of the piece in striking fashion. Unusual in and of itself is the combination of the four solo instruments; alto recorder, violin, oboe, and trumpet - which compete in a virtuosic fugue in the outer movements.
The most beautiful moment of this concert recording comes as a surprise, at its close. During the applause - which itself lasts more than two minutes - the stage is being showered with flowers. Euphorically, the musicians strike up an encore, repeating the last movement - the Allegro assai of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 - this time faster and with more intensity. The sopranino recorder plays the part of the alto recorder, and the last trumpet note of the stunning piece is played an octave higher - the triumphant finale to a magnificent concert.

04:45 II. Andante
08:30 III. Allegro assai
11:11 Applause
13:25 Encore: III. Allegro assai
The Brandenburg Concertos (BWV 1046-1051) by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750) are a collection of six instrumental works dedicated by Bach to Christian Ludwig, Margrave of Brandenburg, in 1721. They are regarded as some of the best orchestral compositions of the Baroque era. But the concerts were probably composed between 1718 and 1721 for Bach’s Köthener Hofkappelle. Bach’s original title, “Six Concerts with Various Instruments,” describes exactly what is special about these concerts: the varied use of several instruments, i.e. different strings, wind instruments, or solo harpsichord for the concertino.

The Orchestra Mozart was founded in 2004 to give talented young musicians the opportunity to play in a world-class orchestra with a world-class conductor. Claudio Abbado (1933-2014) is considered one of the greatest conductors of all time. In 2011, the music magazine “Classic Voice” named Abbado the most important of the top 100 living conductors. He was born into a family of musicians in Milan, Italy, on June 26, 1933. After studying conducting, piano and composition at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan, he continued at the Vienna Music Academy. In 1968 Abbado became chief conductor at the Milan Scala. In the subsequent years, he was to be seen on the world’s great concert stages, in Milan, London and Chicago. After giving his debut at the Vienna State Opera in 1984, he was named the city’s general music director. In October 1989, the members of the Berlin Philharmonic elected him artistic director, succeeding Herbert von Karajan. He remained in Berlin until 2002. Abbado died in Bologna on January 20, 2014, aged 80, after a long battle with cancer.

#JohannSebastianBach #BrandenburgConcertos #ClaudioAbbado #BrandenburgConcerto2 - เพลง
300 years after it was written, and the musicians all look like they’re having a total blast! Bach and the Brandenburgs are truly timeless. Michala Petri is an absolute gem as always. Reinhold Friedrich is new to me, but he made that look effortless. Wonderful!
One of the single greatest pieces of music ever written. It never fails to give me chills.
I live in Bhutan in the Himalayas. I bike in the Himalayan foothills to Brandenburg 2. Nothing like it!
That sounds like a wonderful journey.
#1 in gross national happiness, last I checked.
I'm a violinist and I can play this by heart. I have every note memorized and burned into my head.
Respekt
OMG! Reinhold Friedrich is BEAST! Wow!
Europe must keep its excellent musical and artistic culture alive.
Couldn't agree more!
You could not chose a better piece to open a galactic 'message in a bottle ' for unknown life beyond our solar system.
Yes what a great idea! !😊
I love Bachs concerto No.2. This performance gives me hope for humanity.
We need hope!!
Likely the finest performance you'll ever witness of this timeless piece.
And incredible close views on the artists.
Agreed!
These guys put the bar up a notch with such precision playing!
I agree. I first heard this piece years ago in a college course on music appreciation. The version I heard was a bit slower than this one. But I like this one better.
De acordo!
I love how Bach can put together such varied instruments to bring a culmination of joy and elation that only comes from the heart and spirit. How graced we are to have such talented individuals who can portray Bach with such feeling and talent! Bravo!!!!! Bravo!!!!!!!
So well said! The combination of this instruments is unworldly!
Oh ! So good so good !
the bro pulls off brandenburg 2, twice on picc, and doesnt miss or flub a single note, god damn, chops for days.
Totally agree. As a lapsed trumpeter aged 56 I am in awe, his performance is, dare I say, of Maurice Andre’s level - a bright and sweet tone with clean articulation. 👏❤️
he actually misses a note a little over a minute into the first movement, but I think it sounds better! I wish that was the way Bach wrote it lol
Claudio Abbado was a genius of music. Everything he conducted was pure musical gold. May he rest in peace.
Bach Forever!
How blessed must have been this man to compose this music…😔 he will never die..
The audience loved it as did I.
One of my very favorite pieces.
The best interpretation out of a dozen I have heard. Thank you
Sir Paul McCartney, who as a young boy sang in the boys choir of a church in Liverpool, was very much inspired by Bach. The trumpet in one of his best compositions, Penny Lane, is a dedication to the legendary trumpet in this 2nd concerto.
On Penny Lane played by David Mason who played the 2e Brandenburger concerto many times, he got 68 English poud for it and was in 10 minits already outside the studio.

I did not know that....
So sublime and majestic.
What a rare and lively rendition! Abbado is just keeping a fatherly eye on a joyful camerata.
El gran Claudio Abbado , perfecte
Bach at the height of his genius, played by the best in the world. I keep coming back to this performance and being transported to . . . another plane of existence.
Reinhard Friedrich!!!! Danke! Merci! Thank You!!!!!! Technik, Musik, Talent ❤️
👍
Bach is insanly genius! Such a joy
👍
Yes truly spoken a genius
They're having so much fun, realizing, perfectly Bach's magnificent concerto. I'm having fun listening. BRAVO!! ORCHESTRA MOZART!!!
wow! bravo! .... greetings from Brandenburg.
I just woke up a moment ago and found this! What great music to wake up to!
I love it!
The performance reaches
into the deepest every
corners of my beart.
Bach is Best also.
My Gosh! -- there's not a single thing to criticize here!
Every performer enjoying his/herself throughout.
The restrained and elegant direction by Mr Abbado, letting the performers be the center of attention.
The world's top recorder performer in person!
The crisp trumpet, and lovely oboe.
A glorious venue, with appreciative audience who attended in attire this concert deserved.
And oh yes -- J S Bach.
I'm usually of the "original instrument" crowd, but this lovely performance might just be the best I've seen or heard on modern instruments. Bravo!
Exactly my thoughts. While original instruments performances give us as close an experience to what the composer heard, modern instruments in the hands of artists of the calibre of those in this performance (soloists and orchestra) is a treat! Only a trumpet player would stick a flower in his mouthpiece then play the final note up an octave - cattivo, Herr Friedrich! 👏👏👏👏👏
Dear Graham, we are very happy that you like this video so much. Thank you for your feedback!
What a masterpiece! Someone said great composers are like the Himalaya, beyond this is the blue heavens and beyond this there is Bach.
The best perfomance ever!
Out of this world. Thanks.
Danke bin 16 Minuten in eine andere Welt entführt worden . Der ständige Kampf im Täglichen Alltag klanglich vorgetragen mit grosser Leichtigkeit .
Wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen dieses Video so gut gefällt!
Michala Petri!!! Still stunning and wonderful. I can watch and listen to her all day. :)
Vielleicht DIE beste Konzertfassung, was um Trompete geht. Einfach Chapeau!
Dance is the paradigm of the Baroque energetically displayed in this concerto and played by this ensemble.
Perfect, many thanks to you 👌❤️💐
One of the BEST if not the Greatest performance of Bach. He would have sooooo proud! I enjoyed every second of this Treasure.
I like it much more, than the Karl Richter version, THIS IS JUST ALIVE!!!! No heaviness, no flatness, just excellent. I can not stop listening to it.
Some notes on these notes:
1. The trumpet is not 'blaring'. Bach wrote it to play in counterpoint with a violin, recorder and oboe, not to dominate them. While a modern instrument is used here, and modern instruments are generally louder, the balance is good because the trumpeter is exceptionally good.
2. Bach and his contemporaries frequently used the trumpet. It was commonly used outside the field of battle. It is remarkable in other ways: being pitched in F is rare; it is unusually virtuosic but not exceptionally so for Bach's writing for trumpet.
3. The final note played by the trumpeter is up a 4th from what is written, i.e. the tonic high F not the 5th which is C.
Good eye to catch the write up mistake about trumpets final note. Yes, I winced inside at the writer’s description of trumpet as “blaring”. In my opinion, the piccolo trumpet is a very clear, clean, precise, and pure sound - especially with a superb trumpeter like Frederich.
A very good performance of this piece.
Thanks for letting us know that.
About the 3rd statement: I think the trumpeter intentionally played that at the end. Initially, he played the regular version. Correct me if I'm wrong! Thank you so much for the info! Greatly appreciate it!
A heavenly Masterpiece!
Perfect balance and clarity. Beautiful expression.
The ensemble has a beautiful blend and rhythmic precision and each part interweaves
I am no judge of the performance, but reaction of audiance says a great deal about the performers.
Bach non si discute, come pure l'orchestra e il maestro!!!
I can’t imagine playing a recorder that fast. I LOVE this. Thank you./
Majestic, celestial they delivered to us a lifetime of rehearsing, studying , a disciplined life at their instrument.
Just a superb interpretation of Brandenburg 2 !
Bravissimo !
Tolle Musik Danke Maesto Bach ❤
I like Bach ' s music ! Thank you DW Classical Music ! 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
I don't see how anyone could not play well in that gorgeous theater!
I believe this is the best performance I've heard
👍
I agree completely Dave. A really masterful performance. Claudio Abbado is uniquely low key but masterful. PERFECT !
yes, i also think it is musical perection at work here. the only other recordings of this caliber i know from a group of musicians is argerich, kremer and maisky with their shostakovich and tchaikovsky trio renditions.
The Voyager with this perfect creation is beyond the Solar System.
🙂
When the flutist levels up to a piccolo and the trumpet ends on that high note. Bravo
With this work I started to baroque music 60 years ago. Thank you for this magnificent performance !!
👍
I discovered Abbado 40 years ago on the radio, conducting opera. I knew he was something special. After a lifetime of listening to Bach's Brandenburgs, both live and in recordings, I haven't heard a better performance than this one.
This ensemble kicks bootie. There are some SINFULLY FANTASTIC INTERPRETATIONS of Bach Brandenburg Concertos.
Bravo! And I have never seen a trumpet like that one.
Claudio Abbado, my favorite conductor. Yours?
A good blend between contempory interpretation and historical practice.
유럽을 가면 그들이 얼마나 음악을 좋아하는지.
제가 독일에 갔을때 바하가 주일마다 새곡을 만들어
찬양했던 교회당에서 잠시 묵상ㆍ기도하며 바하가
지휘했던 자리를 보면서 감동했던 기억이 있어 아주좋아합니다(박철수)
Bach ~ Claudio Abbado
Such pure music ! Splendor...
Wonderful performance
One of the best video clips I been see in my life, I keep looking and hearing every day , love it.
Regards from Texas
We're so glad to hear this. Thank you for watching! 😊
If only Bach has the caliber of musicians seen here! Outstanding 🙌
Bach, Bach, Baaaaaaaccchhhh!!! Tú eres el verdadero Dios de la música, tus obras son descomunales en belleza matemática y estética. Tu Misa en Sí menor, Las Pasión según San Juan, El Clave Bien Temperado, las Suite para Cello, el coral "Jesús la alegría de los hombres", los Conciertos de Brandemburgo, las Vacaciones Goldberg, la Ofrenda Musical, el Oratorio de Navidad, etc, etc y etc..... tiene bellas obras y todas con una estructura matemática y concentración intelectual. Gracias Diosito por regalárnoslo! Saludos desde Lima
Gracias por los saludos y nos alegramos de que te guste el vídeo.
I have a hard time listening to other baroque performances of the same pieces because VOM performances are so glorious. The artistry, instruments and recordings are impeccable. would love for them to come to NYC to perform so I can see them in person.
The performance is passionate and generous. The performers make themselves vulnerable and transparent in a remarkable way.
I'm into all genres of music,from hard core punk and metal to jazz and classical with everything in between.Brandenburg Concerto no. 3 is my favourite but I enjoyed this video very much! The musicians did a stellar performance and the recording engineers got it right too! I've been listening to Bach all my long life and his music still has me in raptures!
If I were to write a comment, it would be exactly what you wrote.
It's simply THE BEST interpretation of this concert by Bach! Wonderful musicians under the Abbado's direction. BRAVI TUTTI!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This performance touches me to the core. It brings tears to my eyes. The soloists are true artists. An angelic performance. Very beautiful !
As it was meant to be played. Each player right on with each note connecting perfectly with the whole. Surely one of the most beautiful pieces we have from the vast collection of his works.
Love this old fashioned music
I just would like to express my deep gratitude to D.W CLASSIC MUSIC for posting this superb classical music video . THANKS A LOT ! from CANADA
We're glad you enjoyed it. Make sure to follow us for the latest uploads 😊
I have only three words: REINHOLD FRIEDRICH!! UNBELIEVABLE!!
Michala Petri absolutely flawless, the modern recorder was such a clever choice for blending with the other modern instruments!
This goes straight into my "Favourites" playlist
I miss Claudio Abbado's masterful contributions to music.
The trumpet and clarinet are King.
Bach es el mejor y único músico mas grande de toda la historia, y no hay mas!😉
The allegro of the second concerto is my favourite piece of all the six concertos.
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is an absolutely MASTERFUL performance!! Bravissimo!!
👍
bravissimi, con la "I", si dice in italiano.

una preziosità del grande Sebastian Bach
Bravo!!!
une trompette de superbe et de gloire,haute admiration
👍
I'm using this performance to teach my students for a music history unit. This performance is so wonderful. The players are top notch and the sound is just delightful.
This second movement caresses my very soul
And the third makes me jump in sheer joy
Notice how happy or euphoric the musicians are to play this piece . Perhaps a life lesson here ? Bach’s # 2 con connects
With all our emotions and makes me at least, feel human .
Перечудовою! Неймовірно прекрасно! Надзвичайно професійно! Дякую!!!
Beautiful classical.
В России население считает, что Бах писал только для органа. Оркестровые произведения населению малознакомы. А вот я с большим удовольствием слушаю произведения Баха для оркестра. А здесь не только оркестр из прекрасных музыкантов, но великий дирижер Аббадо.
In Russia, the population believes that Bach wrote only for the organ. Orchestral works are unfamiliar to the population. But I listen to Bach's works for orchestra with great pleasure. And here is not only an orchestra of excellent musicians, but the great conductor Abbado.
Thank you to all the musicians for this heavenly performance of a great Bach composition!
And thank you, DW, for presenting the video to us!
I've had the honour and pleasure to meet Reinhold Friedrich and even accompany him on the organ many years ago, though I'm not a professional musician...
Still makes me happy to have these wonderful memories, when I listen to the recording on my old cassette 😊
We're glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Quite possibly the best I have ever heard in this music. The rest of the players easily keep up with Michala Petri and Reinhold Friedrich, who both deserve every accolade they've ever gotten. And Maestro Abbado shows how HIP modern instruments can get. Utterly masterful right down to the sopranino in the encore!
Thank you for your comment!
Excelente interpretación del gran Claudio Abbado (RIP) y con solistas excepcionales.
I love bach❤
No hay palabras para expresar tanta belleza.
Ciertamente.
@@ergocano pppppp
What a phenomenal interpretation, collaboration, and performance!! I enjoyed it so very much, thank you!! It was a heavenly appetizer experience.
I also learned something new today - Yamaha made a c/bflat/a piccolo trumpet. I didn’t know that - amazing!
