    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.

      Imagine how many other great works by other great composers sit in a shelf somewhere.... It still boggles my mind that Bach was pretty much forgotten as soon as he died. Thank God for Mendelsohn's effort to reviving Bach's music, we pretty much owe Bach as we know him to Mendelsohn. Anyway, funny how history works, when Bach was alive he was less popular and less known than Telemann, Handel and Scarlatti. The most famous of the bunch being Telemann. Bach came last, but now it is the opposite. I do think Telemann is an under rated and underperformed composer though. He needs a revival of his own.

      Nikki Boylan I have always believed that it was indeed written for Bach to play the harpsichord. I have also always been under the belief that Bach did not win the Brandenberg composer position as Lord Brandenberg decided to go with someone else. I have no idea who, but that seems to go down as one of the all time bad decisions.

C Bach, who was young W.A Mozart's teacher for 5 months in London. His father had brought him there specifically because nobody anywhere else could teach the kid anything he didn't already know. J.C Bach taught Wolfie how to compose, and he was extremely grateful for it in his later years.

The only performer of this piece capable of doing it in a coherent way, and yet very different than Richter's, is Furtwängler. But his is an elaboration, Richter is the closest to the score. If Bach wanted some weird pauses between the movements he would have put them. It makes no sense to follow the HIPsters dogmas:
      - they argue that the Passacaglia and Fugue should have no pause between the movements
      - and yet there are a lot of HIP recordings of this piece that, for example, insert practically a pause practically just before the cadenza

    Brilliant and beautiful. This is a find! So often, in the modern tradition, this piece ( and all the Brandenburgs ) are played far too quickly. Imagine #5 in less than 10 minutes! Rough and nearly indecipherable. I love how their harpsi directs things, as in my old chamber group. It matters. I went completely mad-- can you feel it change your brain while you listen? Besides, Bach is beyond earthly!

    I finally found the name of the piece of music from orchestra I remember playing in middle school. That class was about the only positive memory I have from that period in my life, it has granted me such pleasant tunes I would him to myself, but now I found out it is this! I had been trying to find the title for so long, and now I have something new to add to my de-stress playlist! 🤗

    Bach's works contain all feeling of human beings .

    The magnificent Bach is well illustrated by the beautiful piece. If you love harpsichord, and it is magnificent ancient instrument, it is displayed here.
    By the way I watched Jimmy Hendrix in 1969 or 70. Outdoor concert in Seattle .
    Over years my music tastes have broadened significantly.
    Ya, ...all along the watchtower
