Bach - Cello Suite no. 2 in D minor BWV 1008 - Pincombe | Netherlands Bach Society

- The second Cello Suite in D minor, performed by Steuart Pincombe for All of Bach, has a dark and introspective tone. It is one of the favourite pieces of Pincombe. As such, he was delighted when we asked him to record this suite in the Main Hall of the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam. The searching character of the piece suits Pincombe’s outlook. In his playing, he always tries to create something new, rather than recreating past experiences.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on February 12th 2018 at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB or consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
This recording was made possible by Ammodo, Institute of Arts and Sciences: www.ammodo.org

We can't love more music and Bach than played with so much passion...Beautiful interpretations...Great cellist
Bro I love you
You are the best human on this Word😘😘😘😘
@XDranzer000 As far as I know It's because of European music history! :-) The 'Suite' form developed in France in 17th century. Musicians and composers were very curious about what was new in music and they traveled and corresponded a lot more than you would think! The suite with the french names was very popular until mid -18th century. Sometimes called Suite de dances or Ouverture or Partita.
@XDranzer000 French was the 'lingua franca' of the European elite today.
Allemande
I can't believe this whole TH-cam channel exists, for free. It's like all you needed to access to Heaven was a wifi connection. I can't believe the quality of every single interpretation/video. How is it even possible to listen to all of this for free? I just can't believe it. I found the channel only this morning and I spent the day listening to it feverishly. I worship every single member of the Netherlands Bach Society. Thank you so much. You don't know how much all these videos are a source of joy to a fan of Bach like me.
Oh yes ! I agree 😊

Many thanks for these kind words! It was our main goal from the start to keep All of Bach for free. It is indeed an expensive project, but all worth it! The last 4 years we received funds from Dutch subsidiaries, and since May it is possible for private donors to donate money. Check our page allofbach.com/en/support-us/ for more info!
leverkuhn67 I am in awe of this as well. The quality of the sound most of all.
I echo this. Remarkable.
I am playing this music every morning welcoming my kindergarten students to classroom. The music brings calmness as they enter and play quietly waiting for class to begin. Thank you.
Those kids are our best hope for the future!! You gave them a taste of perfection (speaking as a musician self). My grandmother was an elementary teacher for the better part of 40 years but also taught me to love baroque/classical/ romantic era music when she'd return from her trips to Europe. This music reminds me of her 😇
Thank you! You are giving a gift to your students! 🎉
This man doesn’t play the music, he becomes the music.
You’re absolutely right, his playing is perfection and his phrasing is beautiful and he knows how to make the baroque cello sing and let the bass notes have a chance to shine.
The best musicians do..🎻🎼
He actually used to be my teacher. Super high standards, difficult lessons, but an amazing teacher.
@@romanthechristian5237 holy shit, you actually were a student taught by him. I’m so jealous
“The final aim and reason of all music is nothing other than the glorification of God and the refreshment of the spirit.”
― J.S. Bach
This guy is a magician. Almost made me cry with his interpretation. It's just a wow.
I’ve played and listened to the suites for 26 years and this is by far one of the best version I’ve ever heard, absolute fan, thank you
Whats your favorite playing of this?
Finally! - a cellist who fully understands the ornamental basis of Bach's musical notation. Sublime.
I really really love this Performance!! I can't tell why but every other interpretation of this piece from other cellists sounded lifeless to me. Pincombe did a great job and I would love to hear his interpretation of the other suites with this kind of emotion.
Thank you Steuart!

But I agree!
Dude... you can just listen to the cello suites alone and all of life is covered. Add a violin or flute partita and well.. we just have so much more than we deserve. J.j.
I loved your words !!💓❤
I agree
I will never tire of this. This is almost unique in classical performances. You can tell it's him; who's playing it, based on his own interpretation.
Fantastic and irreplaceable.
I'm not in the best moment of my life but this, "put a smile on my face". Thank you.
That "Minuet I" totally blew my mind. I've been hearing it wrong and playing it wrong for years! This recording is the first I've heard that makes the pulse feel correct; I just didn't realize it before. Awesome.
I feel the same way! New appreciation for this interpretation
The best rendition of the second suite in TH-cam for sure.
I was doing something else while this was playing. When it was over, I realized I had been unconsciously mesmerized. So I played the whole video again.
A man with passion, a cello and a beautiful empty chamber to play music = success.
You said that right brother.no long lips and depressing people who dont get the music,or constantly coughing or distracting from the music.
This was the description of life itself. It starts calmly then gets to the excitement and joy of youth but then the joy is interrupted by great sadness and melancoly. The sarabande is the turning point, the crisis that tempers human life. The menuets are the coping with life's adversity, the acceptance and resignation to its imperfections but also humankind's resilience to withstand difficulties and at last the synthesis of life and death, good and evil.
I admired most the interpretation of the sarabande. Such outcry of pain, strife and misery, the cellist surpassed the possible! His instrument became the human voice of ignored supplications, fervent pleas, anxious plaidoyers, it was great and terrifying, violent and complaining at once, it was the catharsis of life and its sense. I salute this cellist with respect and admiration.
I always love watching professional cellists play. They break every 'rule' your average teacher has about posture and bow holds, and literally each one has some different way of sitting/holding the cello/bowing/etc. Just goes to show you it doesn't matter how you do it. Just make it sound good. Also just realized this guy is playing old school style without an endpin. Sick.
It's because it is playing it in "old style", using a baroque bow, and the baroque posture, to be most historically accurate, I think they also tuned the cello with the baroque tuning, but I can't tell if it is a baroque cello or not
@@Zerge6095 That's why I said he's playing old school style ;P And yea, almost positive it's at 415.
@@jasonfrost5025 this is actually closer to 392--essentially a half step lower than 415!
He actually used to be my teacher. He definitely has very high standards for his students and lessons are not easy. Still teaches rules about bow holds and posture.
Some rules are more like guidelines, others are absolutes. Some apply only in certain situations. One of the worst errors with situational technique was when the French decided the legato technique developed by Lemmens should be applied to everything unless explicitly specified, including music written before the techniques were developed.
Je trouve que c'est la plus belle interprétation que j'ai pu écouter à ce jour!!! Il sait parfaitement compris que les moments de silence SONT de la musique!
the double stops in sarabande is absolutely beautiful. it honestly gave me the chills.
My god, the two minuets... Especially the seond... Such a brilliant piece of music... Great performance. I love Bach.
Best performance of this piece I've ever listened to, and I've listened to a lot!
Я не могу поверить, что такой великолепный канал существует на Ютубе бесплатно! Даже думать не хочу, сколько труда и сил вложили создатели хотя бы в один этот ролик. Отдельный низкий поклон музыканту вдохновенному - на него можно смотреть даже в беззвучном режиме, всё равно видно, как он выкладывается.
On a high quality speaker set this sounds absolutely sublime. This channel does not spare expenses when recording their performances, and people who listen on shitty speakers or headphones are missing out, big time. You notice the lack of visible mics, yet theyre able to capture such richness of tone. I can even hear the imperfections in the shifts and string noise, and the breaths. Means theyre using some expensive equipment
This is an example of the TH-cam algorithm actually working
I think is bc the name of this chanel
a creeper spittin' truth!
Some call it creep some call it investigation. Lets claim them as synonymous like pervert, and flirtatious
Why not lol
The depth of soulfulness in this interpretation of Bach just floors me. That's an amazing sounding instrument in the hands of a sound poet, too. Big thank you for playing with so much love and total emotional investment and technical finesse!
Man, to me you sound like the dark forest himself playing. Such a raw, yet awe inspiring sound. Usually when listening to classical music the awe feels like coming from above. But you somehow managed to let god drive into me from below, from the dark humus with its earth worms. Smell of pines, scent of heaven.
Period instruments with gut strings often has that effect on me :) Modern strings and vibrato sound more like light and air!
How. HOw. HOW! How can anyone remember every note and just play it off by heart? Magic! This guy is a freakin SUPERMAN. SUPER BRAIN. And yeah. One of the best musicians I've ever heard. My God! It is sooooo amazing!
I profoundly love this interpretation. It is unique and intense. I'd like to thank Mr Pincombe for his soul and passion as well as for his amazing talent.
Bach played by a monumental cello player!!!!!!! (with a first class cello). Thanks Netherlands Bach Society
Astounding. Tears streamed down my cheeks. This man’s style, dynamic touch, and emotionality is beyond.
This is the sound of a one man renaissance. Thank you to the Netherlands Bach Society and to the fine people that made this happen. Wonderfully played and recorded. Very kindly appreciated. Thank you!

Probably my favorite interpretation of suite 2! Love his musicality and introspective quality
Histrionics does not replace musicality.
@@josephcambron7060 Yet histrionics adds to musicality. Specially when it's a visual perform also, helps transmission of emotions and creates a feeling of confidence that's greatly appreciated.
Bravo! Bravo! What a spiritually as well as musically satisfying experience! The tempos for the Prelude, Allemande and Sarabande are the first time that I’ve heard someone besides myself decide that they need to be slower in order to bring out the pathos and longing that is inherent in Bach’s sublime music. I will be sharing this performance with my students and fellow cellists. I can’t thank you enough for these 22 minutes of pure beauty.
My 'cello teacher agrees about the tempo. The beautiful chords in the Sarabande just need to be drawn out.
This man is incredible... when he plays, it seems that all the depth of the world emerges and that creativity overflows, to get out of any other interpretation of this work. A true and rare artist, a light among the shadows. People like him are going to bring public back again to classical music.
The Allemande of this piece remains my favorite playing of a Bach piece, Wen Sinn Yang's performance of #1 comes in close as second. I enjoyed #1 in this series but felt that while it was more emotive, it was choppy. Bravo to the NBS but Wen Sinn Yang's #1 is worth searching for and listening to.
No matter how many times i come back to listen to this music, i will aways have a new experience. Awesome presentation, Steuart!
This guy is UNREAL...I don't want to swear...but I can't believe this. Been studying these suites for most of my life...I'm in awe.
Just gotta practice for 40 hours a day.
Each upload is a sea of gold, from this channel
The cinematography on this one is incredible, especially the Courante part, wonderful!
Such beauty, one of the most magnificent recordings I've ever seen. A very rich interpretation of this 2nd Suite, loved it.
Most times when the camerawork is overdone it only serves as a distraction, but this was so tastefully done, even during the fast movements. TH-cam recommend strikes again, I've discovered an amazing channel.
A whole channel focused on Bach?
Instant subscription!
Wow, immediately one of my favourite interpretations (especially the Gigue). Thank you for these wonderful videos! 🙏
Especially the Gigue
@@pattmahiney yes, his timing is beautiful.
Metal video, Clsssical skill
Me not. I think the rhythm must be more respected, in order to move forward and not getting stuck.
i dunno what a gigue is, but hear hear
Incredible, so deep ! I have just discovered your channel and All of Bach is my christmas gift ! Thanks to NBS & to Steuart for this perfect suite.
I wonder if Bach realized that there was a thread of Heaven woven through his soul. Listening to his works is like my hand being gently clasped and being led through a continuum of joy.
Played by the book: no excessive thrillers, metrics preserved, harmony and melody also. Yet, output is pure jazz.
Contemplative. Single tones were haiku and each pause sounded like thunder.
Milestone performance. Bravo!
Not played by the book! Metrics Not preserved! Jazz? WTF Stupid comment to say the least.
I've just started playing cello - 1 year in, and it is incredible artists like this that both inspire and intimidate, and make me renew my efforts to improve. I am very thankful for the wonderful gift of this music from this very talented cellist. Not sure if I'l ever get to this level, but at least I know what to aspire to.
Si beau, si grand, si profond. Interprétation majestueuse. J’adore sans réserve. Le tempo est lent à mon sens comme il se doit. Cela ajoute de la gravité et de la profondeur. Tout ici conduit l’homme à la méditation !
Close your eyes and listen.
I'm not a connoisseur of classical music, but the suites I've heard from Bach, squeeze your heart to the limit, and from one moment to another you rejoice the soul.
Don't close your eyes. The video is made so well.
This is, probably, one of the best videos on the Internet.
wonderful, each note has a reason, each silence too, wonderful!
Love the quality and passion expressed!!! Thank you Netherland's Bach Society for such a gift!
What a stunning performance! Thank you for sharing your passion.
My deepest gratitude for all the beautiful music that you have so generously posted. It sustains, uplifts and inspires a desire to be my best self.
I'm impressed how this video can translate Bach to a visual narrative. Excelent performance. Congratulations to the Netherlands Bach Society! Greattings from Brazil.
I'm not sure exactly what is a visual narrative but I sure enjoyed watching the musician and it's a beautiful video, I agree.
@@theon9575 I assume he means how the movements inspire scenes in a film or suggest a story.
Could you tell us the narrative? I am interested to know what that story might be. Greetings from Chicago.
Thank you for introducing me to these incredible musicians. Without this channel, I might have never come across any of them. Thank you!!
Magnifique suspension du temps.
Invitation naturelle à la méditation.
Merci à la Netherland Bach Sociey !
Everything about this video is amazing! Great camera work, sound quality, and performance. Well done!!!
This cellist holds music in the depths of his soul. Thank you for this.
The tone is beautiful, the reverberation of sound, even the small details like the fingerings of the strings come together so perfectly ❤️
Beautiful! I have listened over and over today, puts me in a state of bliss. Many blessings too you! Thank you!🌻🎧🎵🎶🎻🌹
Steuart Pincombe,
You are truly a gift of music to the human soul. You are very talented, you are sincere & so humble. I listen to you in my office when I’m working and I’m so uplifted hearing you play.
Thank you very much!
the evolution of classical music performance over the years has been a pleasure to witness. it seems the bar is constantly being raised year by year.
This is by far my favourite performance of the 2nd suite. It serves as a big source of inspiration for my own playing and I'm very grateful to have found this amazing artist via this channel.
Absolutely beautifully done. Wonderful improvisation at the end of the prelude as well.
This is absolutely excellent work by the Netherlands Bach Society. Imagine when the project is done? I thank God this ended up in my TH-cam recommended videos.
What a wonderful interpretation. I can't even stand it 😭❤
It was an excellent performance. Great camera work. You can not only hear the performer playing, but also see the work of the fingers. Thank you, I'm impressed.
Thank you for the excellent performance, sound quality and camera work.
This performance is a really miracle! God bless you Mr. Pincombe! Greetings from Brazil!
A beautiful piece, a beautiful interpretation, a beautiful instrument. Just beautiful. I am also impressed by some of the camera work, which makes it visually interesting. I can't thank you enough.
That was so indescribably beautiful …to see someone fully attending to beauty and to the soul ….Thankyou . And Thankyou for keeping it pure, no adverts , I really appreciate this .
Ever since i discovered this piece, i listen to it almost once a day! wow! thank you so much for sharing!
The best version of Bach I’ve ever heard, Bravo!
The second Suite always brings to my mind images of an atypically introspective tired old sea pirate trying to put his finger on where it all went wrong. I really enjoy how heavily Pincombe's interpretation leans into the musical elements that bring those images to my mind.
I love your mental imagery of the tired old sea pirate.
@@suran396 It reminds me of a farting rabbit playing a game of tag with an old man with a monocle and bushy brows
Amazing piece!. I am always in awe of musicians playing baroque instruments / gut strings and the tonal qualities produced. I keep coming back and listening again to this piece!
I'm speechless. This video is perfect in every aspect- I couldn't take my eyes away. I love the Cello so much, and I'm even more inspired to pick mine up and continue to improve. Thank you for posting! 😍
I'm so happy to see the new guard breathing life into their interpretation of Bach! Everything is wonderful here - the Courante my particular favourite. Bravo!!
This suite is even more introspective than the 5th one in C minor. It is a complete contrast when heard just after the previous one, the suite 1 in G major.
I think Maestro Bach would have been proud of this performance. How admirable it is!
Every performance a precocious gift. Such passionate performances that bring the master to life and resound around the globe and through the celestial heavens. Thank you, Netherlands, for this tremendous accomplishment.
Bravo! Bravissimo! Wonderful to listen to (doing spreadsheets) and S. Pincombe is ez on the eyes when i get a chance to glance up
Mil gracias por compartir la buena música. Un lujo poderla disfrutar. ¡FELICITACIONES!💝
Es una maravilla escuchar a Bach¡
Increíble música
Pax et bonum 🇲🇽
It was a privilege and unforeseen blessing to meet Steuart in Oberlin in 2018. Thanks for bringing Oberlin kids to Divine Liturgy, and for this transportive recording! God bless.
I may have posted on another recording which the Nederlandse Bachvereniging have uploaded to TH-cam, but I must repeat my gratitude again for this generous public service. It is remarkable in this day and age for people to sponsor a project of this magnitude. You are giving us lovely, fresh insight into masterworks that may have been recorded before, but are worth hearing again with new interpretations. Heartfelt thanks.
thanks so much for sharing this wonderful Bach cello suite that touched my heart...
Somehow Classical music instantly changes your whole energy....
Wonderful....
Also, amazing cinematography... Thumbs Up.
Tears don't come easily from a stoic like me. A few were shed listening to this beauty. Thank you Universe for putting everything in place to create JS Bach's music. Fortunate indeed are we.
The quality of the audio and video is superb. The music just fills my soul with joy. Thank you . . .
The cameraman did an excellent job too 💗💗💗💗💗💗
Every element of this performance is high art
Thank you for all you do.... I'm in tears listening to this as I realize it's the closest I will get to Bach.... Palms together, I bow to you, thank you.
Thank you for sharing this.
Wonderful music and great playing.
I cried 5 or 6 times while listening to it.
This is my favorite Bach cello suite, it's so rich and beautiful.
Its always amazed me how different and rustic baroque tuning on a cello is. Absolutely exquisite. As a classically trained cellist, I have played every Bach suite and I’m still so moved by how they sound just being tuned down a pitch. Maybe I shall try playing in baroque tuning! I mean, after all, I am only 14, so I would love to experience being the maker of such a sound soon. Wonderful performance ✨
I had just played this in modern tuning, definitely noticed the difference!
Tomura Shigaraki. Very impressed that you at 14 were playing already all suites! So interesting what is going with you now! All the best!
@@strashuninstitue390 hello! I will be 18 in a couple months. I have continued studying cello, though I won’t major in music in college, and I have for sure gotten better haha! The suites sit in my common repertoire, and I’ve been able to shape them well! When I was younger, I just played the notes that were on the paper, but now I can actually give each piece some life! Thanks for the comment 😋
BRAVO! 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 This is my first time hearing Cello suite no. 2. Brought me to tears. Bravo. Bach would be proud.
He makes it sound almost like a viola da gamba. His sound is very masculine, too. He plays with true fire and intelligence.
Bravo!
David A- what exactly does 'feminine' sound like - lacking fire and intelligence??
Judging by the bow and the overall position in which he is playing, he's using a baroque cello, so yeah, almost a viola da gamba
Bach's music is so beautiful that there are no words to describe it ... I love it!
A maior mancada foi ter levado tanto tempo para descobrir esse canal! Fantástico!
Beautiful. Years of dedication and practice and sacrifice distilled into 22 transcendent minutes. Thank you for your effort and the music
Thank you so much for this brilliant channel with the amazing, gorgeous songs by Bach ! I love Bach ! ❤❤ Congratulations to all of you ! God bless you ! 🙏🙏🙏🙏Hugs from Brazil ! 🇧🇷Leni
