  • Jean Rondeau, the imaginative young French harpsichordist, describes the Bach family as “one of the great dynasties of western music”. Having devoted his first Erato disc, Imagine, to works by the towering Johann Sebastian, he now returns to Bach’s world for his third release, Dynastie, which complements concertos by Johann Sebastian with concertos by his three most famous sons, Wilhelm Friedemann, Carl Philipp Emmanuel and Johann Christian.

      In 1700 this concerto was meaningless to everyone, including Bach, who was only 15 at the time. The earliest version of this concerto dates from around 1726. This concerto is modeled after the Italian solo concerto, which would become all the rage in Germany, but not until the 1710s or 1720s.

      Bri J After stating that this performance is wonderful, let me slightly disagree with your assertion. Piano can do so much more for counterpoint than a Harpsichord will ever do. For this particular movement, left hand melodies can be strongly stated on the piano, here however lost. Probably Bachs intention, as the left hand mostly mimicked orchestra low register accompaniment. But it sounds soooo good on a piano...

At the same time this musician keep up a tempo like a heartbeat, when you are in love with someone, it’s like a gallop but not hounding.

    Just superb--I have watched this video probably 100 times in the last thirty days-- I love Bach and I love the harpsichord, but there’s also something about this guy and this particular Bach piece. I guess one thing is his “rough-hewn” look and his almost comical performance. I LOVE the way he looks at the other musicians while he is playing. But he never dresses up, as I’ve seen many of his other performances. It’s definitely very unusual to see a dude who looks like him display such a type talent as he does.

    I've never heard such a transporting and enlighting interpreting of this concerto.
    Mr Rondeau flirts with his music instrument with such maestria, the music notes who turned into bright colours swirl around the room with lightness.
    The considered as serious Johan Sebastian Bach appears under a new light, he is a man who loves beauty and life.
    Mr Rondeau shed a completely new light not only upon Bach's music itself but on the composer himself.
    Listening to that has been a pure ecstatic moment of bliss. In my mind, time stopped and music was there.

      The Sinfonia of cantata BWV 146, first performed in 1726, is essentially the same music found in the 1st movement of the harpsichord concerto BWV 1052, but scored for organ, strings, oboes and continuo. The cantata's 2nd movement, marked Adagio, is essentially the same music found in the 2nd movement of the harpsichord concerto, but scored for 4-part chorus, organ, strings and continuo. So if BWV 1052 dates from 1734, it must derive from the 1726 cantata or from some other work composed in or before 1726.
      Due to the violinistic character of the harpsichord part in BWV 1052, many Bach scholars have believed that BWV 1052 must derive from a lost violin concerto composed in Weimar or Cöthen.
      In the 21st century, however, Bach scholarship has moved away from any consensus regarding a violin original. In 2016, for example, two leading Bach scholars, Christoph Wolff and Gregory Butler, both published independently conducted research that led each to conclude that the original form of BWV 1052 was an ORGAN CONCERTO composed within the first few years of Bach's tenure in Leipzig. Both relate the work to performances by Bach of concerted movements for organ and orchestra in Dresden and Leipzig. Wolff also details why the violinistic figuration in the harpsichord part DOES NOT demonstrate that it is a transcription from a previous violin part; for one thing, the "extended and extreme passagework" in the solo part "cannot be found in any of Bach's violin concertos"; for another, he points to other relevant Bach keyboard works that "display direct translations of characteristic violin figuration into idiomatic passagework for the keyboard." Peter Wollny also disagrees with the hypothesis that the work was originally a violin concerto.

      Like most of Bach's concertos for harpsichord and strings, BWV 1052 originates from the 1730s, in Leipzig, probably for performance in the Leipzig Collegium Musicum concerts. The consensus of modern Bach scholars is that BWV 1052 is an arrangement of a concerto for organ & strings (NOT a violin concerto) composed for performance at an organ concert in Dresden.

Then we have BWV 1057. We know for sure it derived from a violin concerto only because it survived as the Brandenburg #4. Otherwise no one would had guessed it was originated as a violin concerto. Then you have BWV 29... No one would have guessed it derived from a humble violin partita. From my point of view, this concerto originated as a violin concerto and it was expanded to a harpsichord during the performances at Caffe Zimmerman for the Collegium Musicum concerts.
