Bach - Violin Concerto in D minor BWV 1052R - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society

- When it was composed, this violin marvel - the Violin Concerto in D minor, performed here by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach - immediately became such a technical challenge that few soloists were able to tackle it. Too few, probably, as not a shred of it has survived. The concerto played here is a modern reconstruction, based on a harpsichord concerto written much later by Bach, but which is presumed to originate from a violin concerto.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on 11 May 2018 at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

Are you able to tell me what tuning pitch is used in this performance? It sounds lower than traditional Baroque pitch of 415Hz! :-)
알레그로 만세
Thank you for the indicatkon of the musical tempi.
Yeah! I think it’s almost one semitone lower then baroque pitch
Took me a while to find this.
Bach often complained about the capabilities of the musicians he had to work with. He would have no complaints whatsoever about this group!
Well, it’s not easy to play it! Sato does it really well. I’ve heard he had left thisgroup. Wonder where did he go
Nope!
You just don't know how difficult a string instrument is until you try. I will never sound okay. I keep playing for the brain workout.
@@classicaldebomg he did😢 it's in theircommunity post
5:38 Passacaglia & 6min+19sec Kadenz
In a dutch podcast Sato was asked to reflect on 'Old Music,' he disagreed, good music, he said, is never old, interpretation makes it always new.
That's the eternal spirit he's playing. Result is 'simple' genius.
To perform this in front of one of the most famous Rembrandt paintings is a huge flex and I love it.
5:48 that solo truly proves Sato as the greatest baroque violinist of our age; so raw, so full of darkness, it is captivating to watch and listen to. Bravo NBS.

Underrated comment.

@Counterdot The third.
The double bass player walked straight out of that Rembrandt painting
Lord, forgive me for laughing at this.
What about the harpsichordist?
Absolutely!!,! . The whole cast in the dark background reproduces the paintings, of sort. It isn’t by chance.
he is cool af

That camera angle, those facial expressions in the painting...incredible
One of the greatest channels of TH-cam!
Totally agree!
Oui
But you can only watch, not hear :(
Oh Yes, I also
Sí.
One can not imagine how hard this is to perform with a violin. Even with the Harpsichord it is very difficult. This guy is an all-time violin master
Мой любимый концерт, самый красивый и страстный, на клавире он так не звучит, сам знаю как трудно его играть,добиться такого накала малыми средствами - вот она работа старых мастеров!
Sato surely is a new coming in music. There's Bach before and after Netherlands Bach Society.
I just find myself always returning to this. To me it's the definitive performance of this Concerto. It's exhilarating, raw, impassioned, daring -- just absolutely impeccable!! Bravo!!!
Sato Shunsuke -- A most charming man, consummate violinist, and conductor.
I love the fact that the lady with the blue jacket can't help contain her appreciation of Sato's performance. Love seeing those smiles pierce through the focus that the performers must maintain.
Sad it is that Mr Sato is leaving NBS next year. Thank for your playing sir and we wish you well.
How can this be free, this is premium quality, Mr. Sato is amazing
Open Access, the principle of tearing down the pay walls that separate us from culture and science, should become a major pathway for humanity.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Mr. Sato’s playing is epic.
Epically aggressive, I'd say. Sounds like someone attacked glass with a knife. Painful to the ears :/
@@tadeuszmrownik-dzikowski5335 Yea he played it really aggressive but I liked it. Doesn't hurt my ears :) This is like a rageous version of the piece.
@@classicalstudymusic8950 Agree. I like the aggression and vigor.
But he interprets 'Allegro" to mean "As quickly as possible".
@@777rogerf Lol, true, a fair criticism.
Shunsuke Sato. Haven't heard of him before this. Now, I will never forget. Truly a career making performance.
I compleyely agree...this should be one of those rare performances where reputations are made overnight..
Check out his performance of the 4 seasons too, very enigmatic and passionate like this one. He shines with expressive pieces.
Sato has recorded the complete Bach unaccompanied partitas and sonatas as part of the NBS "All of Bach" project. He reflects on the second unaccompanied partita (in English) here: th-cam.com/video/DeXSXVJMGIs/w-d-xo.html
@@kooistradurkpassionate! As anything by Bach should be played according to the composer's intent, NOT against the logic of his choice of the compositional tools ....
I think he also got 2nd prize at the International Bach Competition. He’s a super accomplished musician, and yet I’ve never heard of him until about 2 years ago.
Rembrandt's incredible faces looking out over the incredible performance makes for great camera-work. Well done!
I am really not sure I could have contained my self to a polite clap. A jump to a standing ovation and a cheer as if I just saw Usain Bolt break the 100M world record and leave everyone in the dust with a smile and a wink is more like it. Wow, like someone said, maybe just a little peak at heaven here, thank you all especially Sato!
I knew Jean Rondeau's version, I loved it, now I'm more than stunned. What a powerful and sensible performance! Great to hear it on violin.
Thank NBS maestro Sato (佐藤俊介さん！) and Bach for making this available to us.
When I was young I was a rock fan. Now I am a classical music fan and cofident Bach is the
most important composer in human history. I am addicted to this NBS TH-cam channnel.
I can not express my delight with modern performers. This splendid age where it is possible to hear such performances, to rehear, and rehear. Music lovers have to learn a new discipline otherwise we might become spoilt and blasé about such riches. The Netherlands Bach Society are reliably provide authentic performances such as this. I have to resist playing them too much, and with great difficulty
"How many modulations do you want in this piece?"
Bach: "Yes" 😂
Incredible, breathtaking virtuosity. It almost looks as if the gentlemen in the painting behind are listening and enjoying it. Thank you Maestro Sato and the Netherlands Bach Society for another outstanding performance!
So dark and warm the sound with period instruments... absolutely refreshing and beautiful... as everything the NL Bach Society does!
I feel the opposite. I find them over-bright, brittle and very scratchy, not to say out of tune rather too often. The excessive reverb in the hall doesn't help either. It's a bit like marmite. You either love or hate this kind of approach. "Oh, but it is on proper period instruments", you might say. Well maybe, but I prefer the sound of modern instruments. Historical "authenticity", whatever that is, is not the be all and end all. The slavish obsession with zero vibrato makes the strings sound incredibly harsh. There is absolutely no evidence whatever that vibrato was not used in Bach's time. It is a myth promoted by "historical" musicologists, groups like this and some rather dictatorial conductors.
fingerhorn4 Hello, if you watch their fingers and listen carefully, on some of the longer notes they use vibrato. I agree that it’s not a romantic, modern vibrato, but the selective use underscores the group’s musicality and their careful consideration of which notes to emphasize.
Traditional Baroque pitch is 415Hz but I think it's lower here. I love "gutsiness" of this lower pitch and the rough quality, absolutely LOVE it!
@@fingerhorn4 personally I quite enjoy the rough, gutsy sound here! I think it's also lower than traditional Baroque pitch of 415Hz :-)
@@fingerhorn4 Senza vibrato is not sustained within the piece, really. Quite a lot of vibrato is used. If you actually play close attention to the players' hands. But if you actually study baroque music quite a lot and in depth, you would have noticed that baroque music focused musicians use vibrato with care and use it towards the end of longer notes and phrases, unlike romantic era musicians which uses far too much vibrato sometimes. Besides, gut strings already provide for a rich, smooth tone and seriously do not need too much vibrato!
As in regards for them going out of tune, do you by any chance have diplacusis? They remain in tune quite constantly. Unless your standards for perfect pitch are so high, all music is unbearable to hear, then alright. Personal problem.
Lastly, the reverb. They are playing in a museum. I don't know if you have ever been to this specific museum they are playing in, or a museum at all, but naturally a rather large handful of museums have a bit of reverb. This reverb is totally normal and is actually a good amount of reverb. Maybe you have hyperacusis? Maybe a visit to an otolaryngologist or audiologist might help.
It is better than perfect. Unsurpasssed.... Best performance of authentic Bach work I've ever heard.
This interpretation by Sato was impassioned and requiring absolute mastery of his instrument. Regardless of how authentic the interpretation might have been (and certainly up for debate), one cannot witness the technical genius of this artist without being awestruck. Bravo Mr. Sato!
This is probably the most impassioned and aggressive performance I've heard of this concerto. I don't know how authentic it is, but it certainly is quite exciting.
Here you have the original version: th-cam.com/video/XcsfDxojdV8/w-d-xo.html
@@eduardosanchez9716 there is no recording of the orignal version
It's interesting but not really my cup of tea. I was introduced to this piece through the good Glenn Gould's performance, which I wholeheartedly recommend over this.
Gould is good, but try listening to Leonhardt's version, if you don't mind the sound of the harpsichord.
@@wapolo1974 In fact, I find it quite pleasant. Thanks for the recommendation, will check it out.
I am sure that all the visitors at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, including the citizens in Rembrandts painting, had a great experience listening to this ensemble and the fantastic violinist Shunske Sato. Great work from the camera people to have a painting participating that much in this performance!
"Nattvakten" is the name of this painting in swedish. The Night Watch perhaps, in english. They surely seems to be in control of this consert! When I was there it was a bunch of lovely kids sitting on the floor listening to a teacher, now it seems to be a much much older audience, not in need of any teachers anymore.
Phantastische Interpretation.
Der Mann weiß beispielsweise, dass Arpeggien auf der Grundnote fußen, was 80% der Interpreten nur randläufig bekannt zu sein scheint.
Für mich ist Shunske Sato der beste Interpret für Bachs Solosonaten seit Arthur Grumiaux. Auch mit ihm als Interpreten (und neuerdings auch Dirigenten) der Bachkantaten der Niederländischen Bachvereinigung markieren diese Einspielungen die Weltspitze.
This is not music, this is pure magic which haunts you. Radiating from another dimension. Those opening chords, make very bold statement which tell what is going to happen. This concerto is so dominant whenever I listen it turns in my head several days nonstop. Brilliant performance! Bravo.
Thank goodness this is not simply another ´nice’ performance of the concerto, for it has a fresh vitality and spirit in a new age, even while played on ancient instruments! I, too, would have burst out in enthusiastic applause at the end, if I had been fortunate to have been there!
I love this version so much
I agree. The audience gave a very tepid response. They deserved much better.
Bravo, Maestro Sato !! You had finally cleared this masterpiece from the absurd convention of emotional repression, that somehow remains stuck for centuries with the increasingly passionate music of the all time musical rebel. This type of emotionally liberating performance is what J.SLBach’s legacy deserves.This is also the exemplary performance to follow for all pianists who aspire to play this concerto. It is also a must to listen to for all pianists who are required to play other clavier compositions, such as WTK etc. And, this should be required to listen to for those adjudicators, who set the standards for the exam grades too. I have to admit that it is hard to go to the more popular clavier version of this piece after hearing this amazingly engaging and emotive violin rendition that should be widely publicized and well known. Don’t know what to marvel more - solo cadenza or ensemble parts... No doubts that J.S.Bach is smiling in the heavens every time this recording is played, because you had grasped the intensity of his music that very few performers seem to comprehend, despite the obvious clarity of the compositional intent.
Fully agree with everything you said.
Jean Rondeau's performance is equally great.
I LOVE YOUR REVIEW!!!! Musicians should reconsider playing in "Baroque style"... I have no doubt Bach would have been SO PROUD of this recording! This concerto makes any other violin concerto composed up to that date sound like a children's song! BACH ROCKS!
@@davidriggenbach6672 Thanx for your enthusiasm! (Sorry to miss your post…) So glad you share my opinion. Of course, Maestro Bach was not just “ahead”, but far ahead of his time... And the problem is that he is still ahead of OUR time as well. (In fact, due to this problem of loosing our sensory capacities and unnoticed by majority omnipresent zombilization,, our human race is facing extinction! as early as by 2045…)
Indeed he was punished for his musical rebellion … A month in jail in Weimar was retaliatory action against genius with the mind of neuroscientist. He must have spoken truth to power very directly that time… Sadly we can only guess now… but some archive researchers found records of another musician hung in the area around that same time…
But what is indisputable is that by looking at his scores it’s clear that He wrote distinctly different type of of music that must have shocked his employers … He rebelled clearly against reimposed censorship for his music, but records of aggressors are not reliable won’t say the full truth, for obvious reasons of shame to admit mental weakness in compassion to their genius servant… We can not trust the records of jail keepers who acted in effort to assassinate the character of the musician-Artivist, who must have exposed blind spots to illustrate his case. His music revealed evidence for very dangerous trend in human brain - SENSORY DEACTIVATION, the cause for inter hemispheric imbalance and many blind spots
And he offered his very effective counterpoint to it - EMOTIONAL REAWAKENING. He must have been very frustrated about having to live in lacking intellectual leadership environment..
The use of dissonance was banned and he knew what he was risking - literally EVERYTHING!
But he could understand more about music than today s neuroscientists… and could anticipate very serious catastrophic implications that we are to face since he had no internet to search for likeminded ppl
Fortunately this reformation work of his sprouted through many of his followers who had become classics in their own right, thanking him for his scores that served as textbooks. We take for granted a lot of his gifts like symphonic deferment, circle of fifth modulations used by Rachmaninov of jazz musicians, etc but he officiated the process of composing and breathed back emotional expression and transformative meaning during the time of birth of well tempered 12 tone scale…
But much of his music’s meaning remains obscured for the above reasons of inertia and vicious retaliation to change that religious text warns against (likely citation of biblical quotes on this cognitive dissonance subject got him in jail trouble…) These are just thoughts out loud but
My discoveries on website are evident and will r debunk any resentment to change just as Bach intended… with humour and laughter
And the reason is that he was trying extra hard to bring back the core essence of music - its restorative and medicinal purpose (vs empty pretentious entertainment fashionable during his time and …during ours as well). But if played with emotional intensity, his music is truly medicinal!
Oh and I unearthed his musical parody likely on his harassers (can not be proven of course) since it was composed around the time of his false imprisonment! Stunning maverick … but unnoticed for centuries due to the problem he was trying to address very hard, but had no resonance in provincial castle towns
There is nothing speculative but the facts that ppl resent due to inertia of habit and SOCIOSOMATICS of pressure from convention
There’s much more as you may realise after reading …
(You have curious last name with -Bach ending..)

Let me know what you think about this
Check out this and let me know what you think through contact link
I’m looking for True Bach devotees to help SPREAD THE FACTS that reflect to ppl their blind spots. and also clear his legacy from lies and MAJOR distortions
I'm sorry but I just cannot agree. Maybe I'm old and stuffy but I know how I like my Bach to be performed and it's not this way. I an hugely disappointed with the NBS.
It's called baROCK! Awesome interpretation.
Fantastic use of play-on words right there
rock on! 🤟🏻
Ever since I came upon the magic of your Bach interpretations (no more than a couple weeks ago!), I have been searching my soul as to how to express my gratitude… The first words that came were: Merci, Mr. Sato, you have made my 71-year-old gypsy body and soul dance in joy and gratitude!
But then, that fell short…
So I tried this:
Every time I replay one of your Bach interpretations, as soon as the bow touches the arch, a message goes up to the high heavens and alerts/wakes up Bach himself, that he may partake of the shared joy… (there is a lot of movement these days, and He seems to revere in it!…!)
So: as soon as the bow touches the arch, the whole of Sato vibrates, giving profundity, passion and joy to every sound: … Hair, shoulders, eyelashes, shirt… they all vibrate and amplify the sounds of ecstatic passion and love and sheer beauty…
these love notes vibrate in us, in our past and future lives….
And the miracle continues….
Nous sommes gâtées !!! Pouvoir écouter ad libitum!
The performing and sound quality is amazing.
It is wonderful to see the characters in Rembrandt's paintings as witnesses to the mastery of this musical group. I love this channel.
Netherlands Bach Society is an addiction. Congratulations on this outstanding performance! Love you guys.
Nice english, Igor

DA! Very addicting.
Phenomenal articulation of the soloist... Although he is not perfect, the clarity of his performance is truly his strong point. And also amazing, breathtaking dynamics, in general, bravo!
Had I been there, I would have exploded in applause at the end of the piece. I'm amazed at the composure from the public after such an awesome performance. So glad it was recorded for our continous enjoyment.
Shunsuke is a Phenomenal!!!!!!
Mr. Sato, you have the music in your blood...
This is Bach bringing to you a little taste of Heaven
Satosan’s unimposing style as solo is absolutely impressive.
It almost sounds like a dialogue between the violin solo and the orchestra at times, and as a perfectly harmonious ensemble at other times.
Beautiful unison on the second movement. And the violin solo, perfect expression of message. Love the natural breathing tempo. So comfortable. And the third movement with such speed yet doesn’t sound rushing at all and the violin solo with such rich sound despite the speed. Amazing.
The orchestra is not heavy at all and I understand now that that is the way this should be.Baroque should be baroque.
The third movement violin solo part is so unique and even felt a sense of modernity towards the end. The message was there clearly.
This interpretation feels just right
Sato was born to play violin. In 64 years I've never seen anyone who attained his level,yet he's modest and all about the music. It's become my personal favorite. I use it to successfully escape from physical pain,not easily attainable
Just a thrilling performance. Having listened to many of his performances on this channel, I am huge fan of Maestro Sato and consider him among the greatest contemporary baroque violinists.
Indeed he is!
I'm surprised my computer didn't melt. This is wonderful. So vivid and so appropriate, surely. Most affectng in the central movement.
Just incredible...
It's throughout but at 5:47 Sato... the mastery, the confidence... jaw-dropping!!!! LOL ...Really, this is an example of when your technique has become your instinct.
The second movement is so beautiful and underrated
The opening melody is used thoughout the piece by the continuo in different keys, whilst the violin plays a rather beautiful passionate melody. Whilst the violin plays the melody, listen to the bases
Bach is just a GENIUS!
Beautiful use of Polyphony
I've often heard people compare Bach to modern rock stars, and after listening to this, I think I finally understand why. The absolute confidence, aggression, and freedom with which Sato plays and directs this piece is unlike any rendition of it that I've heard before. It felt like I was at a 1700s rock concert. Bravo, NBS and Maestro Sato. Thank you for all your wonderful work.
So excitingly musical! I echo others' sentiments that this is normally played on keyboard by technicians, but Shunske Sato turned this brilliant piece into music! Like a diamond obscured before it is polished, Sato made this diamond sparkle! Bravi to all musicians in this performance!
Yes yes and Yes!!! Sato you GOT it. The goosebumps we need to have in the presence of Bach’s music. NBS is not avoiding our chills, but going right into it. Into the heart. Into life, into rage, into tears. Awesome.
I love listening to Bach expertly played while The Dutch Masters look on! The applause at the conclusion was an under-reaction for sure. This was marvelous. Thank you.
In my opinion, this is an absolutely stupendous performance. Thank you! So emotional, so lithe and it sounds really quite avant-garde. I'm blown away.
What a fire storm! I don't know what Bach could say, but, after that, I think that planet Earth deserves the salvation!
I really like the part at 5:48 so much. The violin sounded like it was screaming from anguish! Eerily Beautiful!
Gotta love the harsher sound of the gut strings. Specially in the last solo of the 1st mvt, when each time a chord is attacked the strings bend a bit of of tune. Just adds to the character of the whole performance. What an incredible show.
The slow movement is astonishing. Mr Sato is like Kuijken or a period-instrument Gidon Kremer, such interesting variety of tone and phrasing. Very risky but it pays off expressively.
Risky? No The only way to play J.S.Bach!
06:11 what an amazing shot with Rembrandt’s The Syndics portrait.. ooohh the camera angles killing me again.. and yea the band nailing it as well
haha so he has Nightwatch behind him and Syndics to his right. I wonder what's hanging to his left? But yeah that's great camera work.
Sato undoubtly is one of the greatest baroque violinists of all time. He plays with exemplary technique and with a fierce passion which works addictive. De cadence starting at 20:08 is a prime example of the highest standards of violin playing, absolutely exhilarating. The Bachvereniging completely understands each other and plays incredible well together. Thank you, Bachvereniging, for giving all of this to us for free. It just keeps getting better.
You're welcome to your opinion. I find the opposite. His playing to my ears is unbearably scratchy, often completely out of tune, wild to no good affect and aggressively brash to no purpose. I cannot stand those spikey long notes without a shred of vibrato. They sound piercingly harsh and metallic. Whatever the authenticity claimed in this approach, it doesn't sound at all musical to me. But this kind of approach is now the default for most "historical" ensembles, based on evidence-free assumptions.
@@fingerhorn4 You are perfectly right. If they played music instead of dancing and playing theater maybe it would sound better. But apparently music is too difficult for them. So running with the tempo, and moving on the stage, and making all these facial moves make a lot of impression on people. But it is not, NEVER music.
I was always conservative about how the Bach compositions could be interpreted in various forms apart from bpm and instrumental volume variations as the Baroque of Bach is mainly so formative. The Sato and NBS team have abolished that taboo with extreme dynamic variations and even still-harmonic-syncopations. Congratulations. I enjoyed that a lot.
Is there a word to say that you all are magnificent? Bravo Meister Sato!!
Exzellente und oft witzige Kameraführung und Schnitt! Bei dem Projekt sind in jeder Beziehung Meister am Werk. Danke den Künstlern und Sponsoren!
one of the greatest of Bach's inventions, in all its various guises. Bach in d minor is nearly always him at his peak I find. It's like Beethoven in c minor. It seems to bring out the most interesting things in his music. This is so wonderfully played. And your musicians are so lovely to watch. The interplay of glances and facial expressions is like poetry to me. The slow movement is devastating, it brings tears to my eyes the way Sato decorates the line. I kick myself for not seeing him play in Melbourne but I had no idea who he was back then. Count me a rabid fan from now on.
First time to hear this not with a solo harpsichord. Amazing and very convincing.
The passionate play of Mr. Sato transformas Bach underlines the romantic features of Bach. It's unusual but rousing and might attract more fans for Bach's music in our days.👍🏻
I've enjoyed your stunning performance played on baroque instruments. Thank you.
Message from Japan. 16th/July/2019
BWV 146 and 188 with Masaaki Suzuki , with organ ( Masato Suzuki )
I’ve heard this concerto so many times. This interpretation is beyond awesome!
Thank you so much for putting this out.
Really? I can only find one other on TH-cam. Can you link or provide details to track down others?
It is great to see and hear these new 2019 performances on my computer in San Diego. A million years from now people will be marveling at each new performance of Bach's grand works.
Wow, a Bach concert in front of The Nightwatch. Impressive.
What a fabulous and fantastic interpretation of the BWV1052r!!
What an awesome band (NBS) led by Richard Egarr.
Sato's interpretation of this piece has got to be up there with G. Carmignola's....I love it how Sato's really has such a clear understanding of the Baroque music aesthetics and practice with respect to interpretation, dynamics, colours and propagation of the energy of the music....he really gets it!!
The cadenza in the third movement completely blew me away...simply magnificent!!!!! I love it!!
It's so wonderful to see the young generation having an understanding and sense of exploration for the music of the Baroque masters.....another great hit is Sato's interpretation of Vivaldi's Four Seasons with Concerto Koln, it is a gem!!!
Also, I love the venue of this concert. How it transcends time by having a "live" audience and at the same time having an audience in the beautiful painting in the background...it's almost as if the characters in the painting are also equally enjoying the music performed :-)
This piece, to me, is the first true metal ever written. The cadenza with decending seconds and thirds drags you along with all of its tension until it’s done
Thank you, Netherlands Bach Society, for supporting this project! Thank you, musicians, for preparing and presenting this glorious music with your strong, spirited performance! It is an advantage, in my mind, that all interpretations of this music are from the harpsichord concerto score, allowing musicians to bring their own intelligence and passion to the music!
Congratulations to the orchestra, but viva the outstanding violinist, bravo, bravo!!!
5:46 one of the greatest moments in all music. Bach is King of the Baroque Era.
And again a stunning performance by Shunske Sato and his Bachvereniging, I love it!
I know and love this piece, but I don't think I've ever heard it played with such intesity - not just Sato but the whole ensemble. Fabulous!
1:10 Brilliant Camera work !!!!
a surreal human connection across hundreds of years
It´s that the painting from Rembrant... That´s was so beautiful
indeed!!!!
this performance is made from purest electricity and telepathy... such marvellous interpretation... not a performance, a re-creation... THANK YOU
This unique feeling that Bach gives gives goosebumps. absolutely impressive!
Wow great! The first few second is already very stunning. This is real Baroque style, with freely powerful expression and appropriate improvisation.
Sato really gives everything he has for the live audience, and it shows in the recording. He is clearly a master at his craft.
I wish I still had such passion... I used to! Thanks for at least letting me feel your passion. ❤️👍🏻👌👏🎼🎵
Beau cadeau pour un dimanche matin de la NBS et, comme l'a déjà remarqué un commentateur, splendide filmage et prise de son des différents interprètes. On voit, sur la vidéo, l'origine de chaque son. C'est très beau. Merci!
5:48 always gives me goosebumps. It rips through me with emotion
Reminds me of Vivaldi's Autumn (last movement)
This unique feeling that Bach gives gives goosebumps. absolutely impressive!
that particular moment is probably the most out of tune of the whole performance my ears bleed ! !
@@vivaelparaguay It is a bit out of tune, but you don't have to be so mean about it. Overall this is an outstanding performance!
@@randomoneforstuff3696 i'm not mean, thats outstandingly out of tune ;)
Bach is THE pure essence of life and joy
It is crazy to think about that during Bachs time there is only one human who knew how this masterpiece would sound in perfection. And he probably never heard it played it like this- I strongly doubt it!
Bach performed with the utmost percision and intense sound of period instruments, Sato....you make me fly... thanks.
Everything is literally impeccable from the setting to instruments. But the whole performance.. It's just on another level, especially Mr. Sato's. Sincere thanks to NBS for bringing and sharing this mesmerizing performance. 🌷
simply perfect sound, surrounded by old Dutch master's oil paintings!
The amount of concentration and mental endurance required to play this concerto is insane. This is so awesome to watch
How perfect it is to wake up in the morning, come to listen to a piece of bach while you are still in bed and then you see this wonderful performance! I will listen to it for another great start of the day again!
Just marvellous, better than anything else I have heard.
Fantastic interpretation. Sato lives within Bach's heart and spirit.
Yes ! !!
This is the most metal, epic thing I have heard on not metal instruments.
I have heard this as a harpsichord concerto, an organ concert and now a violin concerto.
Bach wrote music so instrumental that feels good on almost every instrument if not all
And a piano concerto as well,
I'll never get tired of this video...
It works incredibly well on the violin, especially in this performance.
We lucky to have this music today....from hundreds of years ago...Because of the greatest human musician ever!!!
But I believe this music will sound great in 50 thousand years ahead in the future...Wow !!!!!!!!!!
