@@williamsu5552 The word maestro was originally used for conductors only but later it was used for composers also.. So maestro includes composers and conductors only.
For those who don't know about the story behind Bach's Brandenburg concertos. In 1721, Bach composed six “concertos for various instruments”. He dedicated them to a German nobleman and sent the manuscript as a gift, hoping to land a job as the court composer in Brandenburg. The nobleman never replied. Bach eventually took another job in Leipzig, where he lived for the rest of his life. The 6 concertos were lost for 130 years. They were never performed. The manuscript was eventually sold for about $20 and shelved in a library. The Brandenburg Concertos sat there until 1849, when they were discovered and published for the first time. Thank god.
Fascinating!.. I learn a lot from the comment section.. I am learning more about the music of Bach lately and I appreciate it much more now at 54 years of age than I did at 24. There is so much available to us now right at our fingertips where as when I was younger it would involve a trip to the local library and they would have a few books on great composers but if I wanted to dive deeper a trip to the downtown library was in the cards. I remember the entire 8th floor was dedicated to music 🎶 and walking out the door with a load of vinyl once a month was part of my early music education. Bach=genius..
There is something very particular in this recording, and for our 21st century ears, something unusual. The instruments answer each others, this explain the slow space, but there is much more to it of course. It might be a way to think, by the players, what the music is all about and it's not about technicality and pure performance. It's a lost art, and we have impoverished our self, our culture in the process. Thank you for your work.
Above all Bach must 'swing', as only he can. Most modern performances have a lot of speed, but no swing. This glorious performance has modest pacing.... and SWINGS all the way. Wonderful.
@@nerowolfe736 : “…portentiousness…” is not a word. Do you mean PORTENTOUS or PRETENTIOUS?? If you’re going to be negative and nasty, at least spell it correctly.
Oh how lovely! The pace, the sensitive relationships among sounds and between silence and sounds - and so much more! Thank you for sharing this treasure.
Yes! I love that cadenza and this is probably the best harpsichord version I've ever heard with a magnificent sound! Also listen to Rudolf Serkin's version on piano, it's amazing... ;) th-cam.com/video/a5lz5HBqPZw/w-d-xo.html
@@TommasoPaba I just listened to it. A precise, delicate and passionate interpretation. Thank you for this recommendation. By the way, Serkin is one of my favorite pianists. What a glorious era!
The music of J.S. Bach is steps in space or running on the Earth. No stumbling and stones. I can never describe it, it is so massive. I have never been to Brandenburg. But in Berlin, near the Brandenburg Gate, we often walked with my parents and brother in 60th of the 20th century💙💛💯🌻.
Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser sechs perfekt komponierten Konzerte mit farbenreichen Tönen verschiedener Soloinstrumente sowie gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprtechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der unvergleichliche Violinist leitet das ausgezeichnete Barockorchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch erstaunlich hoch als originale Aufnahmen von dreiundsechzig Jahren vor. Alles ist wunderbar!
@@dibaldgyfm9933 Music is a wonderful art, but when it comes to an appreciation it depends ultimately for a part on a subjective opinion. And that's in fact a good thing, so we can learn something from one another. There's nothing wrong with a respectful comparison. Thanks for your nice reaction. Regards.
Listening to the Brandenburg concertos of my favourite composer is a pure joy to me! The music is as sweet as honey which evokes in me sadness sometimes but most of the time amazement as the wonderful music can uplift the mood of even a gloomy person.It is a mood-lifter. I had purchased a CD of this music in the early 90's which plays slightly speedily.Here it is a slow version. However, both are magnificent and fantastic which always help me soothe my soul. A case in point is Concerto No.1 in F Major Bwv 1046; No.3 in C Major Bwv 1048. Needless to say that I was mesmerized by the enchanting music of great maestro! Thanks for uploading a different interpretation of Bach's gem. Imagine, if we didn't have these kinds of musical wonders when we were confined to homes , thanks to Covid-19? Bravo, Gracias!
I remember seeing a magazine article written by Leonard Bernstein on conducting. One can conduct fast or slow and get a good effect, but once one sets a tempo one must stick with it unless the music is written for transitions. Inconsistency in speed is bad for ensemble and confusing to listeners. At one time that reflected the ability of an orchestra to play the music from a technical standpoint (one can be stuck with "slow" for that reason) or suspect intonation or ensemble (which can mandate "fast"... I suppose. Hearing music played slow and out of tune would have to be excruciating).
Thank you for the upload. The concertos that can be listened to again and again! Each time to be impressed more and be grateful to have a chance again to admire them whenever we wish.
Bellísima versión e interpretación de éstas joyas de la música de todos los tiempos. No puedo sino imaginar al gran Sebastián junto a su numerosa familia disfrutando de su propia música con esta versión del mto. Goldberg. Pensar que en su momento estas piezas no fueron ejecutadas, sino mucho después de la muerte de Bach.
Que Magnifica, Gloriosa, Bella, Fina, Gloriosa y Grandiosa es la Música, especialmente la de Johann Sebastian Bach, que gran interpretación por parte de Szymon Goldberg y la Orquesta de Cámara de los Países Bajos, sin dudas esta es una de las mejores grabaciones de los 6 Conciertos de Brandenburgo con instrumentos modernos, pero con fidelidad a la partitura. Gracias por compartir esta joya y muchas otras más.
On est là devant des trésors. Un enchantement permanent, comparable aux merveilles qu’il nous offre avec Lili Kraus dans son interprétation des sonates de Mozart. Goldberg, je ne sais pourquoi, me fait penser à Edwin Fischer. Son humanisme peut-être...
I prefer this recording of Bach's Brandenburg concertos to all others. Everything is balanced just right. Thanks Reference Recording for posting and introduction!!
Good, solid recording that swings without scampering - as I like. For comparison, one may wish to recordings by I Solisti di Zagreb, The Chamber Orchestra of the Saar or Sarre or Saare, the Paillard Chamber Orchestra, or the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. Hoomeyow!!
My apologies to the harpsichordist - excellent work - but Trevor Pinnock is still the GOAT. I am convinced that he went down to the crossroads at midnight and sold his soul to the devil for the great 5:1 cadenza.
If you set the playback speed to x1.25, you bring these performances pretty much up to current-day tempi. The music actually doesn't sound ridiculous at all. Perfectly listenable to. Bach's incredible writing still shines through. The only slightly jarring thing is the speed of the vibrato. Excluding the tempo difference, you're left with basically the timbre of "modern" versus historically informed instruments. At x1.25 speed, these performance drag much less. Old movies often seem "slow" to the modern brain. Similar effect here. Maybe we don't need the music to be "spelled-out" so deliberately any more. Maybe it's that 1950s ears were less accustomed to Bach / baroque music, with the post-WW2 Bach revival and widespread availability of recordings still at a relatively early stage.
and that's exactly what you do not want to do. 'Current-day' tempi are often much too fast. 'The modern brain' can enjoy the detail of Bach's extraordinary music at these speeds.
It may be a classic, but stands nowhere close to Café Zimmerman performance. I just cannot 'unlisten' to Café's performance. Is so elegant, full of life. I found this a bit underwhelming
I do not compare, Syzmon Goldberg was a good interpreter of Bach's work as well as Mozart, I see here a delicacy and fidelity to the score, apart from the fact that there are original instruments such as the Viola da Gamba in the 6th Concerto. But whatever you say, the performance you mention is also very good.
@@jesustovar2549 i do. I don't think that he lacks any good feature. What I mean is that I feel there's a lack of joy in this performance, of suspense that Café brought to Bach that made me love his music. Alas, one cannot please all.
@@luanllluan Yes, I got used to listening to baroque works with period instruments in recent years but it doesn't bother me to listen to Bach on modern instruments, especially if there is fidelity and respect to the score, apart from the fact that several of his works were performed on modern instruments when were discovered or never performed in life, be it Adolf Busch, Glenn Gould or even Leopold Stokowski's orchestral arrangements (which I think do them justice).
What a magnificent remastering of great sound quality and fidelity. Sadly some of the comments appear confused. CMRR is just what it says, a reference point ... for great, deeply felt and considered recordings from the past. Should you prefer some jazzed up, emotional period instrument hotch-potch, that's up to you. You are missing the point this time. Thank you team at CMRR for a wonderful, historic upload. You are adding so much to our rich musical heritage.
This is a musically-valid approach. Bach's music is definitely not made for such ensembles as the Berlin Philharmonic or the Chicago Symphony. Bach may be closer to Brahms than Monteverdi in time, but not in musical style. This is the most valid approach to Bach that I have heard from the 1950's. Bach can be played adequately with modern instruments -- but never with Romantic or Classical style. The aesthetic of performance changed soon after Handel composed The Messiah. Style evolved with the instruments after 1760 for music from after then, but J S Bach remained J S Bach. Later composers such as Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, Brahms, Mahler, Schoenberg, Bartok, Shostakovich, and Part may have loved Bach -- but none of them was he. It is possible to introduce rich counterpoint into later music, as in the final movements of the fifth symphonies of Bruckner and Mahler, but this is not Bach. Bach's Brandenburg Concertos are far from ideal vehicles for emotional expression, and they are not intended to be prettified. They are what they are. I have heard them with big orchestras that try to connect Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms... either Bruckner or Bartok fits better with Beethoven or Brahms... and such is invariably disappointing, with chamber orchestras of modern instruments, period instruments, and even on a synthesizer. Maybe these concertos would work well on Jamaican, Japanese, or Javanese ensembles. Probably not brass bands or wind ensembles, though.
@@Vingul Period instruments give the proper sonorities. With better musicianship than the norm of the time such can be attractive. Still, I could make the case that for such a work as one of Bach's cello suites, I will sacrifice period sound for excellence of expression.
@@paulbrower3297 better musicianship than the "norm of the time" -- I don't know if you are referring to the 18th century or the 1950s here. I take exception to the attitude of the original poster, above, as I found this performance quite flat and bland. The implication that "period instruments" are somehow inferior seals it away in the far recesses of incredibly silly comments, for me. For instance the recording of the Brandenburg Concertos by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is far more vital and dynamic, and no doubt closer to Bach's vision, than this present recording. Perhaps Michael Letellier would prefer to hear it played on theremin and electric bass guitar, that's his prerogative.
@@Vingul 19th century, when most orchestral players were closer to amateur quality. A few years ago a double-bassist for the Atlanta Symphony passed away at the age of 87. She was a charter member of the youth orchestra which became a professional orchestra. The training of orchestral players is getting better, and more excellent orchestras are around than used to be.The only constraint is now the availability of top-rate instruments. It would be my assumption that the Atlanta Symphony of our time is a better orchestra than the Vienna Philharmonic of 1880. Note well that Gustav Mahler disparaged the quality of play of orchestras of his time. Period instrument performance does not yet have the pedigree that the more conventional orchestras have.One can't play much music in the manner of Klemperer (who sometimes conducted with very slow tempos to get the expression that he wanted); one cannot get away with such on early instruments.Tempos must be fast for period instruments. I do not dispute that tastes can change in musical performance, and this is especially so with baroque music.Such is not so with middle-period Haydn, any Mozart, and anything later. Those musicians who play Classical-era and later music have about a century of experience or tradition behind them...

🌺Thank you!🌺
It's as if I am hearing these wondrous works for the first time.
I whole heartedly agree 👍 💯
Absolutely Splendid! Thank you from Australia.
Thank you! from Paris
Maravilhoso ate que enfim encontrei lindo lindo muito chik
Gracias.
Muchas gracias.
Thanks
اللهم اهدنا اجمعين وجعلنا جميعن مؤمنين - اللهم آمين يارب العالمين 🏵
On est là devant des trésors. Un enchantement permanent, comparable aux merveilles qu’il nous offre avec Lili Kraus dans son interprétation des sonates de Mozart. Goldberg, je ne sais pourquoi, me fait penser à Edwin Fischer. Son humanisme peut-être...
Adore his Mozart works with incredible Lili Kraus, too. Heartful masterpieces of two incredible people and artists.
thank you so much for the upload !
:)

I prefer this recording of Bach's Brandenburg concertos to all others. Everything is balanced just right. Thanks Reference Recording for posting and introduction!!
I thought the Rudolph Baumgartner version was one of the best but DAMN! I think this version even tops that.
1:02:05
Good, solid recording that swings without scampering - as I like. For comparison, one may wish to recordings by I Solisti di Zagreb, The Chamber Orchestra of the Saar or Sarre or Saare, the Paillard Chamber Orchestra, or the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. Hoomeyow!!
what do you mean by swings?
Jascha Horenstein recorded these works slightly earlier for VOX in what many consider way ahead of its time in performance style.
Show me the better version among "authentic"s, pls. :))
My apologies to the harpsichordist - excellent work - but Trevor Pinnock is still the GOAT. I am convinced that he went down to the crossroads at midnight and sold his soul to the devil for the great 5:1 cadenza.
Where was only Bach and Bruckner.
Bruckner never achieved such lyricism in symphonyc music....
I recommend 7 slow movement @@mozartiano123

very stodgy "reference"...
If you set the playback speed to x1.25, you bring these performances pretty much up to current-day tempi. The music actually doesn't sound ridiculous at all. Perfectly listenable to. Bach's incredible writing still shines through. The only slightly jarring thing is the speed of the vibrato.
Excluding the tempo difference, you're left with basically the timbre of "modern" versus historically informed instruments.
At x1.25 speed, these performance drag much less. Old movies often seem "slow" to the modern brain. Similar effect here. Maybe we don't need the music to be "spelled-out" so deliberately any more. Maybe it's that 1950s ears were less accustomed to Bach / baroque music, with the post-WW2 Bach revival and widespread availability of recordings still at a relatively early stage.
and that's exactly what you do not want to do. 'Current-day' tempi are often much too fast. 'The modern brain' can enjoy the detail of Bach's extraordinary music at these speeds.
It may be a classic, but stands nowhere close to Café Zimmerman performance. I just cannot 'unlisten' to Café's performance. Is so elegant, full of life. I found this a bit underwhelming
I do not compare, Syzmon Goldberg was a good interpreter of Bach's work as well as Mozart, I see here a delicacy and fidelity to the score, apart from the fact that there are original instruments such as the Viola da Gamba in the 6th Concerto. But whatever you say, the performance you mention is also very good.
@@jesustovar2549 i do. I don't think that he lacks any good feature. What I mean is that I feel there's a lack of joy in this performance, of suspense that Café brought to Bach that made me love his music. Alas, one cannot please all.
this very rerstraint is what i like about this performance. it is not compelling.
@@luanllluan Yes, I got used to listening to baroque works with period instruments in recent years but it doesn't bother me to listen to Bach on modern instruments, especially if there is fidelity and respect to the score, apart from the fact that several of his works were performed on modern instruments when were discovered or never performed in life, be it Adolf Busch, Glenn Gould or even Leopold Stokowski's orchestral arrangements (which I think do them justice).
@@luanllluan yes , the lack of joy makes this recording a unique gem; harmony and balanced at their best 😃
What a magnificent remastering of great sound quality and fidelity. Sadly some of the comments appear confused. CMRR is just what it says, a reference point ... for great, deeply felt and considered recordings from the past. Should you prefer some jazzed up, emotional period instrument hotch-potch, that's up to you. You are missing the point this time. Thank you team at CMRR for a wonderful, historic upload. You are adding so much to our rich musical heritage.
This is a musically-valid approach. Bach's music is definitely not made for such ensembles as the Berlin Philharmonic or the Chicago Symphony. Bach may be closer to Brahms than Monteverdi in time, but not in musical style. This is the most valid approach to Bach that I have heard from the 1950's.
Bach can be played adequately with modern instruments -- but never with Romantic or Classical style. The aesthetic of performance changed soon after Handel composed The Messiah. Style evolved with the instruments after 1760 for music from after then, but J S Bach remained J S Bach. Later composers such as Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, Brahms, Mahler, Schoenberg, Bartok, Shostakovich, and Part may have loved Bach -- but none of them was he. It is possible to introduce rich counterpoint into later music, as in the final movements of the fifth symphonies of Bruckner and Mahler, but this is not Bach.
Bach's Brandenburg Concertos are far from ideal vehicles for emotional expression, and they are not intended to be prettified. They are what they are. I have heard them with big orchestras that try to connect Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms... either Bruckner or Bartok fits better with Beethoven or Brahms... and such is invariably disappointing, with chamber orchestras of modern instruments, period instruments, and even on a synthesizer. Maybe these concertos would work well on Jamaican, Japanese, or Javanese ensembles. Probably not brass bands or wind ensembles, though.
Is there anything wrong with period instruments?
@@Vingul Period instruments give the proper sonorities. With better musicianship than the norm of the time such can be attractive. Still, I could make the case that for such a work as one of Bach's cello suites, I will sacrifice period sound for excellence of expression.
@@paulbrower3297 better musicianship than the "norm of the time" -- I don't know if you are referring to the 18th century or the 1950s here.
I take exception to the attitude of the original poster, above, as I found this performance quite flat and bland. The implication that "period instruments" are somehow inferior seals it away in the far recesses of incredibly silly comments, for me. For instance the recording of the Brandenburg Concertos by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is far more vital and dynamic, and no doubt closer to Bach's vision, than this present recording. Perhaps Michael Letellier would prefer to hear it played on theremin and electric bass guitar, that's his prerogative.
@@Vingul 19th century, when most orchestral players were closer to amateur quality. A few years ago a double-bassist for the Atlanta Symphony passed away at the age of 87. She was a charter member of the youth orchestra which became a professional orchestra.
The training of orchestral players is getting better, and more excellent orchestras are around than used to be.The only constraint is now the availability of top-rate instruments. It would be my assumption that the Atlanta Symphony of our time is a better orchestra than the Vienna Philharmonic of 1880. Note well that Gustav Mahler disparaged the quality of play of orchestras of his time.
Period instrument performance does not yet have the pedigree that the more conventional orchestras have.One can't play much music in the manner of Klemperer (who sometimes conducted with very slow tempos to get the expression that he wanted); one cannot get away with such on early instruments.Tempos must be fast for period instruments. I do not dispute that tastes can change in musical performance, and this is especially so with baroque music.Such is not so with middle-period Haydn, any Mozart, and anything later. Those musicians who play Classical-era and later music have about a century of experience or tradition behind them...
Magnífico 💫🎶💕
What an incredible interpretation of the Brandenburg concertos!
What an incredible discovery this is for me.
