I have a hard time believing there will be a even greater composer than Bach. He is truly the best composer in my opinion. Thanks for a wonderful rendition as always NBS!❤
Check out Buxtehude, mondoville, Louis de caix d'hervelois, and Zelenka. Also, if you're into medieval music, I recommend Tomas Luis de Victoria, Gesualdo and Hildegard von Bingen
Knowing what you do, I can't argue with your choice, but being a retired performer and music historian I'm afraid I am not as able as you to claim a favourite. There were just so many composers at the time who were excellent in their own specific areas. It's often been said that Bach composed for God and Handel composed for man. I doubt that you'll find anyone from the time who composed better for the theatre, just as you can't find anyone more capable of composing chromatically than Bach. Rameau did a fantastic job composing for the French theatre and ballet, and in those genera there is none better, though Lully did a fine job in the former generation, especially with his chamber works. Handel stated envy for Telemann's ability to write, saying, "Telemann composes music like others write letters." It was an amazing time in music history with more great composers around in more different areas then there have been at any time before or since. To be sure, there have been other great composers, but they have simply never been in as great supply as they were then. That didn't always play to their advantage, but still, it has to be viewed as a golden age in music, and each composer of the time has to be viewed in the context of his (or in the case of Barbara Strotzi, her) own place in it. Do keep up your wonderful work, and your contributions to music on TH-cam. The world is wealthier for it.
The focus of this ensemble is sublime and magician Sato, total in control, is the magnificent centre of it. What a perfomance... unbelievable! (For those who're not well known with Bach, or classic music in general, but know something of soccer, this is Messi on the violin... one of a kind... and... he's also the coach)
This performance, this movement (more on violin than harpsichord), and this reconstruction burn with a hellfire, diabolical intensity that must have terrified listeners in Cöthen, Leipzig, or wherever JSB dreamed it up. It sure depicts the _viel Trübsal_ that Bach adapted it to depict in what we now call BWV 146. I can't imagine anyone alive at the time had ever heard anything so intense, angry, passionate, and complex. This, not least of all in the interpretive execution of Maestro Sato, is a miraculous testament to whom Phillip Aggesen below correctly identifies as the greatest composer of all time.
Non trovo parole (come sempre) per esprimere cosa provo ascoltando l’interpretazione della Netherlands Bach Society della suprema opera bachiana. Grazie. Siete unici meravigliosi strumenti per la voce di Dio. Grazie. Non riesco a trovar altro. Grazie
The new bar has been set. Outstanding. Kept thinking if period descriptions of what the great violinists looked like playing; Shunske has channeled Locatelli, Veracini, etc.
I sincerely feel that in cases like this it becomes less and less possible to understand it as a newly set "standard". I just don't see this ever becoming a standard. Not because of the impossibility of reaching this level but because I believe their is to much art in this performance to ever be considered as something to expect, to actually relate to. It's a masterpiece that can be admired not merely consulted. Music (just as life, knowledge, speech...) is free, interpretation is singular and musicians are human, therefore: unique, complete and perfect music. I find their performance to be this.
@@sbggillis6251 fair enough. However unique each performance is there are those we want to hear again and those we don’t. Was simply praising this one for being one I’d certainly return to as an exemplar of HIP.
Dear Baroque Panama, I'd love to learn more about your group, especially about baroque performances in Panama! I've become quite obsessed with the Netherlands Bach Society, but I live in Panama.
@@martijnslot95 Hi, I m not anymore in Panama. The Baroque Panama Ensemble was created just for that concert as a posthumous tribute to a dear friend of the group. About early music perfomances in Panama you can check out Festival Musica Antigua Panama. And yes you re right, Netherlands Bach Society is amazing!
Wunderschöne und spannende Aufführung dieses perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit seidigen doch perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Violinen sowie mildem Ton des Violoncellos, tiefem Ton des Kontrabasses und zurückgeheltenem Klang des Cembalos. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt tiefempfunden. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch inspirierend. Der intelligente und geniale Solist/Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Barockensemble im gut analysierten Tempo und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Wunderbar und atemberaubend zugleich!
Fascinating. One of my favourite harpsichord concerti - I bought the Concentus Musicus Wien recording when I was 8 years old and I loved this dark and mysterious (at least to me) concerto.
NBS is simply wonderful,so much dedication to the music of the master Bach, true disciples of his music,i have the highest respect and admiration for bns... keep up your awesome work.
Fantastic concerto performance! Personally, I prefer the authentic piano or harpsichord version as it has a unique beauty. Nonetheless, your playing is impressive. Well done!
This actually probably is the more "authentic" version, as it is thought that this concerto was originally written for violin, then transcribed for keyboard. (read the video description)
Een prachtig clavecimbelconcert, mooi bewerkt en verbluffend geniaal gespeeld. Leonhardt heeft verschillende clavecimbelbewerkingen van Bach’s vioolmuziek gemaakt. Worden die ook opgenomen voor Allofbach? Ik zou er dolgraag een goede opname van horen. Dank voor al het moois.
Much as I love this channel, I'm not such a fan of this particular solo interpretation... bit too much like the interpretations of Virgil Fox... still, great to have this available to hear a different approach.
I wish wish wish you’d identify the instruments everyone is playing? Original or modern? That’s really cool information to go with a really cool performance.
I can't for the life of my understand why you guys don't upload in 4K. This whole endeavor is touted as an online video project, surely you see the value in uploading in higher quality? TH-cam compresses the hell out of 1080p footage, making it look pretty bad. At least with 4K uploads, you get a better quality experience. As for Audio, it sounds ok, but of course is compressed by youtube somewhat. Please consider 4K uploads, cinematography is very good, it would be a shame to lose quality. And if you guys are not filming in 4K.... you really should be. Maybe even 8K. oh and the music is amazing as usual.
I always hoped one could enjoy higher fidelity on their own site... They hopefully store the original files somewhere 😂 Who knows what their plan is... this all of Bach to me is a constant wonder. If you find out anything about higher rate sources please let us know!!
What is the big deal about 4K? 80% of the world still only has 1080p. It looks fine to the majority of the population, and you audio/video-philes should stop worrying about it. Y'all actually complained about it so much that all of NBS's short (
@@randomoneforstuff3696 I totally agree with what you're saying. I just find that with all the effort they put in to making these outstanding recordings I just feel it's kind of sad knowing that it's full beauty will be unseen/heard to majority just because...? It would be nice to publish in higher fidelity on their website even just to be purchased and support them...
This is of course very good, but I prefer BWV 1052 played on a harpsichord. What comes first, violin or harpsichord is evidently uncertain, but more certain is that it first time on sheet music was published for harpsichord, and that this is a reconstruction. Wonderfully played by mr Sato, but as I said, I prefer the original BWV 1052 without an R.
The notion that BWV 1052 comes from a lost violin concerto is actually an old and outdated one. Modern scholarship consensus is that this comes from an instrumental movement of a lost cantata, of which the pipe organ is the most likely instrument.
@@staffanolofsson8201 the truth is no one really knows. There are features of 1052 that suspiciously very strongly resemble violin writing. Combined with the fact almost all the other harpsichord concertos are bachs arrangements of pre existing music (some for violin), and also you can tell from his hand writing that he is copying the string parts from another source (the string parts are perfectly neat, the harpsichord part looks composed on the fly), its a good bet 1052 was a lost violin concerto. But... that doesn't mean it is. there are organ versions of the first two movements that are older than the 1052 manuscript so he definitely had versions of it in his possession.
0:09 Allegro
7:41 Adagio
14:23 Allegro
And a superb and expressive performance full of character and panache. I will listen to the entire concerto again very soon. Bravo, Maestro Sato!
I was at this concert! Traveled all the way from London for it. It was incredible. Coincidentally sat next to the cellist's husband too.
That sounds awesome! Just in the nick of time before Corona made both travelling and concerts very difficult.
@@keesvanzandt9737 yup, i was very lucky. I had my final term exam the day before and took a bus straight after for the 11 hour journey. Good times
It’s amazing how much like rock n roll Bach can sound! He was truly a musician for all time
Thank you for not coughing. 😂
@@matthewplaza it was a struggle for sure 😂
🔥
The most rock Sato since Vivaldi's seasons!!
🔥
This is so true.
Amazing orchestral sound produced by 7 musicians.
I have a hard time believing there will be a even greater composer than Bach. He is truly the best composer in my opinion.
Thanks for a wonderful rendition as always NBS!❤
on the way music at all is going, probably not.
Don't sleep on other baroque composers!
Check out Buxtehude, mondoville, Louis de caix d'hervelois, and Zelenka. Also, if you're into medieval music, I recommend Tomas Luis de Victoria, Gesualdo and Hildegard von Bingen

I love the harpsichord version so much I literally turned the first movement into a viola concerto just so i could play it.
This is the best violin concerto ever!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
원숙함과 열정은 상반되는 개념일 수도 있지만 sato의 연주는 그 개념을 넘어서는 것이라는 생각입니다. 그 어떤 수식어로도 표현할수 없는 감동을 줍니다. 당신의 연주를 들을 수 있게 해주신 하나님께 감사를 😂❤
Not being satisfied, ¡they remade it! This masterpiece... whose interpretation cannot be surpassed by anyone... NBS and Sato!! Love to all
Cheers!!❤
5:49 one of the most metal things ever written for a single instrument. chills at 6:03
I can remember the first time I heard this piece... I couldn't believe it was humanly possible to play it!
Mr.Sato,you are a rock star among many Bach players.
Exactly, this piece needs more than one recording!!
very exciting playing -I have never heard it played with such dramatic expression
Dramatic expression. Very precise characteristic.
Best channel for bach music ❤❤❤
Bravissimi!
Maestri straordinari, interpreti sensibilissimi, esecutori coraggiosi.
Sono sicuro che anche Bach ne ha apprezzato l'ascolto.
Bravo, great performance. Even better than the last time you played this piece.
Thank you infinitely for bringing us closer to understanding the genius of our beloved Johann Sebastian Bach

What's left to do in life after hearing this? 👏👏💐💐
Zowie!! I mean!! Wow! Brilliant in every way, from soloist to ensemble... thank you!
To see them performing live, on my bucket list.
stunning,breathtaking,thank you so much
Surely it doesn't get any better than this!
How can someone memorize his violin score. Just amazing.
That Cello in the background at 1:12 is everything about this first movement.
I feel seen
Is there an upcoming live performance of Mr Sato playing this reconstruction? I admire his interpretation of this amazing work!
Que presente maravilhoso, muito obrigada!!!
Cant wait for the full Brandenburg Concerto 1 video!!!
NBS thank you so much for the beautiful music and gorgeous videography. Your videos are the best !!!
Un capolavoro. Forza e delicatezza al contempo

Clever comment. Don't think many people got it.

Shunske is the GOAT
僕の記憶が正しければこの協奏曲は2回目の投稿かな
世界で活躍できる日本人がいるなんて佐藤さんには驚かされたな

Wow. Glad that Bach did his stuff, and glad that the NBS has devoted so much energy and talent to bringing Bach to us.
Groeten uit Wenen, Scott
Maravilhoso 👏👏👏⚡⚡
Beautiful
Fantastic concerto performance! Personally, I prefer the authentic piano or harpsichord version as it has a unique beauty. Nonetheless, your playing is impressive. Well done!
If you think the harpsichord version is the authentic check out sinfonia to cantata 146 and have your mind blown.
