Extraordinary. Mr. Levin is to be especially commended for caring enough about the subject to simplify and explain it to the masses. Too many classical music devotees seek more to constrict the musics reach than expand it. Mr. Levin breaks that mold. Kudos.
Excelent production, explanations, awesome performance of Freiburger orchestra using baroque instruments and techniques. Thank you all. The Magrave of Brandenburg never made the concerts performed in his court. The dedication letter is so heartbreaking humble. Very fortunately the scores survived for the joy of all of us.
Je remercie ici pour toutes ces belles explications, éclaircisments sur cette musique ! Sur son compositeur. N''oublions pas ces musiciens habitants l'espace, car pour jouer ainsi, il ne sont pas d'ici ! J'ai été l'espace d'un instant, moi aussi dans l'espace, car je n'ai point vu le temps passer ! Redescendre sur terre m'a été pénible. Après ce beau voyage parmi les notes ! Merci. MAGNIFICENCE pour le coeur ! Grands merci à vous !
Funnily enough it happens to be the same piece! Bartók's concerto for orchestra. Fifth movement at the beginning and after the Dvorak the first movement.
Amazing how little substantial information is given here. If anything stands out in those pieces it is the instrumentation. Many instruments called for in the score are exotic, notably the piccolo violin and the "Fiauti d'Echo". Why, for example, are the latter represented by recorders and what kind of recorders are these? And why is the harpsichord banging away chords throughout while the only bass figures in the entire set of concerts are in between the solo passages of the 'cembalo' in No.5. The texture being so dense it deserves an explanation how the continuo is treated. Or the tempi arrived at. Or the pitch established. What is known about the Markgraf's ensemble? Why are demonstrations played on a grand piano, an instrument that did not exist at the time and has an irritatingly brutal timbre after hearing the admirable playing of the Freiburger's?

The explanation is clear and simple indeed, but the masses don't care about such music nonetheless. They never have cared and never will.
There we go. This is it. Bach is the begining and end of the music. The entire universe got to know Bach. BACH
Absolutamente de acuerdo, saludos.

Love your program................Learn so much.................Beautiful music...................Bach, the Alpha and Omega of music !!!
I'm still confused why this has so few views. Fantastic video!! Thank you so much for uploading!
Because it was published here only two weeks ago/
Outstanding. This video imparts insights I never gleaned from this layman's 100s of listenings to the six Concerti.
It's a marvelous work made by you with all the explanations in a very good English language.
Excellent language but English subtitles cause some problems for non-English speakers

Wunderbar, wonderful, veramente meraviglioso. Bach was a genius and this production is really good and shows the miracle of the Bach's music.
Love, love these. So good. 💜
Excellent piece. One small cavil - Bach was not cantor of St Thomas's church, but of the school.
15:20 longest movement in the whole set of concertos is the first movement of fifth concerto, not fourth..
What’s the first piece of music played in the introduction, right before the Mendelssohn? Also, what’s the last piece, after the Dvorak?

Which is exactly the Vivaldi's song (RV ???) that is being played at 10:30? Thanks!
Carlos Tapia
Yes that one was Vivaldi, and the one before was Corelli.
RV 270
