Those who claim that this piece is "just as good" with a larger ensemble and modern instruments, should simply listen to this one. The music sings out in a way often lost in larger groups. Minimal instrumentation allows Bach himself to be the centre of attention. That said, of course even modern interpretations of this sublime work are enjoyable, but this one is superb. Now about the cadenzas, long vs short -- let's leave that for another day!
it's all good. some of my favorite bach is casals and the marlboro festival orchestra, which brings a lot of magic out that's usually overlooked, which i assume was symphony orchestra size.
My parents bought "Switched on Bach" when it came out. I was a toddler at the time. As a child I loved the sound effects.... Something happened along the way. The music stuck around, and never left me. Even today it has a haunting presence in my life.
This cadenza is indeed an earlier, shorter version than the final version, which we recorded in this performance: th-cam.com/video/LHjbRMIIhuM/w-d-xo.html
This is such a gem of a treasure. I just felt in love with the harpsichord his solo. Sato is always the star, but in this performance, they all took their shining moment. LOVE how Bach makes all instruments have a solo moment. Such grace.
Bach is the most democratic and egalitarian of composers. Studying the Well Tempered Clavier, we see how every musical line and every note has its place, contributing to the whole, shining at moments, then receding into the background so someone else can shine.
@@bobsteiner9209 Yes !! You are absolutely right, I have had the pleasure to have played piano for over 10 years, sadly I stopped for a long period, but Bach was by FAR the most interesting to play, his nuances in voices are so beautiful and mind breaking when practicing ! Bach is something else, he is truly my all time favorite. Thanks for your message man, you are totally right !! Happy you enjoy Bach that way ^^ so many folks just listen but don't know what is going on, the superp brilliance of Bach.
Yes, I agree. I am very fond of most of the Sato interpretations. And when I heard Diego Ares playing the Goldberg variations th-cam.com/video/oqaCEzAaXq4/w-d-xo.html he became my favourite harpsichordist. For me it is the non-plus-ultra interpretation of the Goldberg variations. A sensitive and powerful playing. On a Ruckers instrument!
@@bobsteiner9209 When I was studying cello, my teacher gave me this assignment on one of the Bach sonatas: go into each measure separately, and find out where the phrase is coming from and going to. A practice that brought so much musical and other understanding. I'm not sure you could do this with other composers, and I have sung and played a lot of them.
Thoroughly enjoyed this concert - thank you. It reminded me of my visit to Bach's grave in 2013 at St Thomas Kiche in Leipzig. Bach died thinking he would be forgotten, but thanks to the invention of the printing press and the enthusiasm with which musicians embraced his music his memory was revived with a passion.
"Bach died thinking he would be forgotten, but thanks to the invention of the printing press and the enthusiasm with which musicians embraced his music his memory was revived with a passion." Forgive me... but there is just a bit more..... his Students. Long after Bach passed on his students were teaching people. Among his students? His sons. KPE Bach referred to him, sometimes, as "The old wig". Other times he admitted, "I never had another teacher in composition than my late Father. "
In Bach's time and before his time, every composer assumed he would be forgotten. As for the printing press, that was invented more than two centuries before Bach was born! You seem to think the printing press was invented after his death. The cost of music printing in Germany in Bach's time was expensive. The most common method of music publication was through hand copies. Before Bach's death, much of his keyboard music was already circulating in hand copies, not only in Germany, but also England, France, Austria and Italy. The young Beethoven established himself in Vienna with public performances of the Well-Tempered Klavier. Mozart arranged fugues from WTK and Art of Fugue for performance by string trio and string quartet. Furthermore, every composer who served as a Leipzig cantor had his Leipzig church music preserved in the Thomas-Schule archives. Bach himself drew upon those archives, as did his predecessors and successors. BTW, the body buried in the Thomaskirche is only assumed to be that of J.S. Bach. The exact location of his original burial place is unknown.
J'écoutais sans arrêt ce Concerto à tel point que j'ai fait travailler mon violon..... C'est un des souvenirs les plus forts que j'ai. On ne peut pas s'imaginer dans la tête d'une adolescente ce que cela peut avoir comme répercussion. Bach nous " travaille" idem pour l'orgue.
Magnificent! A wonderful gift to the world that demonstrates in compelling fashion the timelessness of Bach. For me, I take pleasure in knowing that I was born in the same century in which, say, Copland, Rachmaninoff, and Gershwin lived. But it is a source of unending pride that I even belong to the same species as J. S. Bach.
*Additional note: In this performance, an early version of the harpsichord cadence is played (hence BWV 1050a instead of BWV 1050). This version is shorter than the final version, which we recorded with harpsichordist Richard Egarr: th-cam.com/video/LHjbRMIIhuM/w-d-xo.html 0:07 Allegro 8:12 Adagio (affettuoso) 13:25 Allegro
@@mahmoudtarek9921 To have two different versions? The Netherlands Bach Society doesn't entirely revolve around the All of Bach project, they make concerts and maybe they found the recording of this one to be good enough to be published even if it has already been. Plus it is free.
Soli Deo Gloria !! ... As if one were witnessing the birth of the first solo concerto for keyboard, including cadenza at the end of the first movement, its idea to be replicated later by the likes of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, as well as so many others after them ... So who is the greatest Master now?
Wunderschöne und lebhafte Aufführung dieses perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit seidigem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der Solovioline, mildem Ton der Solobarockflöte und schimmerndem Klang des Cembalos sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechneden Tönen der anderen Originalinstrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt echt schön und auch lyrisch. Der intelligente und geniale Violinist/Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Barockensemble in verschiedenen Tempi und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Wunderbar vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
I went on a screed the other day about how it’d be more HIPP to record an authentic cadenza the performer develops than to always play the one by Bach…. Thank you, you did not disappoint and love the continual high quality of videography. The glances between musicians indicate you know you’re making some of the happiest music.
The cadence is just an earlier written version though so they didn't really make a new one. Just out from what I understand from their Additional note in the comments. But yes i would agree most historical informed performances wouldn't disregard the performers playing their own, and it might be something that will become more a thing over time, as historical informed means for some just to simply play the music on the historical correct instrument
@@ru99414 not sure about that in this case. It might a fun experiment but honestly one of the big features of this work (and its later final version) is the extraordinary cadenza that bach deliberately composed, not as a suggestion. Its flows out from the material preceding it and is fully integrated into the work. He usually has written out cadenzas in his concerti, but usually they are accompanied by the orchestra and not as long as this. But this one is quite unique and deliberate. I think I'd be dissapointed if I went to a concert and the performer stripped this out.
@@Rik77 yeah for my taste i would feel the same. Today the gap between performer and composer is so big that i wouldn't find it necessary. It's just a historical thing where a performers own cadenza would be what shaped or showcase their virtuoso abilities, but i think that was more around Mozart's time than the baroque, I'm not too sure, but it's certainly a part that might be better left as it is, when the composer actually left his own marks of it
You mean HIP, not "HIPP." HIP stands for "historically informed performance." "Cadenza" is a misnomer. What's constantly referred to as "the cadenza" of this concerto is actually a _capriccio,_ not a cadenza.
@@ru99414 Where they wrote "cadence" in the video notes, they really meant _cadenza._ But what's constantly referred to as "the cadenza" of this concerto is actually a capriccio, not a cadenza.
Elegante, vivace ed affettuosa interpretazione, anche le cadenze sono naturalmente appropiate e originali! Grazie ☀️ veramente una bellissima esecuzione! 💞🎉
We heard the Nederlandse Bachvereniging with Diego Ares with this concerto in Enschede (The Netherlands) before Corona. It was an amazing evening. I don't remember them playing this alternate version. Shame, shame, I usely remember these kind of things very well. Anaway thank you very much for sharing this fascinating piece of music. This is definitely one of my favorite pieces, the Nederlandse Bachvereniging my favorite company and Diego Ares joined my list of favorite performers.
You are righr, this is the first keyboard concerto, and the first cadenza written for keyboard, the harpsichord alternating the role of continuo and soloist. What a genius !
@@jeffreyhirschfeld7761 You don't know what you're talking around. Both versions of the cadenza, i.e., the cadenza in BWV 1050a and the cadenza in BWV 1050, are by Bach! The harpsichordist in this performance of BWV 1050a took considerable liberties with the cadenza's tempo, presumably to make it sound more improvisatory.
As it is not my favorite of the six concerti (I like the 6th the most) it is the most popular along with the 3rd. However this performance of BWV 1050a is a jewel. The second mov. so delicately performed is definitely what makes this concerto such a master piece. Thank you NBS
Луч чистого света в жутком нынешнем мире горя и смерти. Спасибо за потрясающее исполнение! A ray of pure light in a terrible modern world of grief and death. Thank you for this stunning performance! Bravi!
This is probably my favourite of the Brandenburg Concertos. I have certainly beautiful interpretation of the Brandenburg Concertos with Gustav Leonhardt on CD but somehow ... I always turn back to the NBS interpretations. Also regarding other Bach music the NBS interpretations are more and more my preferred ones. Thank you. I ofthen think it would be great to have this also (offline) on CDs.
It's absurd to speak of the key in which a piece is performed as if everyone is required to use a=440Hz as a reference pitch. 1) The so-called concert pitch (a=440Hz) that you use as your reference pitch didn't become a pitch standard until the 1950s, and then only after decades of lobbying by American wind instrument manufacturers. 2) No one is born with ears tuned to concert pitch. 3) I say "a pitch standard" because concert pitch is not the only pitch standard in use today. Some philharmonics tune higher than a=440Hz. Today's period instrument ensembles tune to the pitch standard appropriate to the period, which can be higher or lower than a=440Hz. 4) Wind instruments in Bach's time were designed to be tuned to chamber pitch (a half step below A440) or French chamber pitch (a whole step below A440). 5) The Baroque flute in this ensemble cannot be tuned to A440. 6) The entire ensemble is tuned to French chamber pitch because that was the pitch standard used in German courts in Bach's time. 7) This concerto was composed for and performed by the musicians at the German court of Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Koethen, when Bach was his Kapellmeister (1717-1723). 8) The piece in this video was performed in D major, not C major, at French chamber pitch, as opposed to D major at concert pitch.
Two remarks on this superb performance. I don't quite like the sound of the harpsichord. Reminded me of Ralph Kirkpatrick recordings from the 1960s en 1970s. Secondly, this alternative harpsichord cadenza (which I've never heard before) amazed me. Especially the chromatic phrases, which reminded me of Franz List...
Netherlands Bach Society, great upload, but PLEASE update your title and description. Some commentators on here are confused as to why you have two versions of the same piece, or they think this is a corrupt arrangement of the original. Please update your description so that it states BWV 1050a, not BWV 1050, and that this was Bach's first draft, which is why the harpsichord cadenza is not as long and why there may be other minor changes elsewhere. Thank you.
I feel like the tempos are all over the place in the 2nd mvmt? The group and the 1st flute player are not in agreement throughout. Otherwise absolutely lovely and a favorite for sure!!!
Really nice performance. But it seems like someone forgot to explain to the cameraman and video editor that this is a TRIPLE concerto. The harpsichord is equal to the flute and violin! We don't even see the harpsichordist's face until almost 4.00 in. Very very strange film-making.
In a way I like that, because the way bach has written the piece, the harpsichord slowly emerges out from the texture over the course of the 1st movement. If you weren't aware its a triple concerto you might not realise until a few mins in compositional. You might just think the continuo player was just doing a lot of ott improvisation over the bassline for a while.
In fact, I had not read the description of the video, which explains everything (and also explains why Bach decided to write a second, much better cadenza).
Unfortunately the sound engineering is very bad, similar to the recording of Brandenburg Con. 2, which I assume was recorded in the same setting (or done by the same engineers) :/ It's very sad, that the sound quality is not same as in your other recordings, which are great!! The musicians are of course doing a great job! But the sound engineering is really really bad!
I think they have to get another flutist. But more generally I found this to be a bit underwhelming. Seems I am pretty alone in this regard here for whatever reason.
no, I agree. There were ensemble problems in the first movement. Almost like they couldn't hear each other. They struggled when they got finicky with rhythm...just play it!
I think he's fine, but in the first movement he's not as engaging as the strings and charscyises the themes very differently to the violinist. But I think that's a musical choice. But I do understand what you mean. This wasn't a sparkly energetic flute performance, but thats partly a musical choice. Not my preference though.
Lebensfreude,Energie,Leichtigkeit,großes Können und Virtuosität. Danke

I first fell under the spell of the Brandenburg Concertos nearly 60 years ago! This wonderful performance still has me spellbound. Thank you.

#5 is my favorite of the Brandenbergs. No matter how often I hear it, I need to hear it again.
It’s the same for me, but with #4.
Its exactly the same with me
Bach's 5th Brandenburg Concerto is my favorite composition ever written. This is a wonderful fresh performance. Thanks for playing and sharing this!
The beautiful facility of all these players makes the Brandenburgs (I've known them all my life) new to me.

Interesting, this actually sounds lovely in C Major. It has a different mood but it sounds almost more well-spoken
It's absurd to speak of the key in which a piece is performed as if everyone is required to use a=440Hz as a reference pitch.
1) The so-called concert pitch (a=440Hz) that you use as your reference pitch didn't become a pitch standard until the 1950s, and then only after decades of lobbying by American wind instrument manufacturers.
2) No one is born with ears tuned to concert pitch.
3) I say "a pitch standard" because concert pitch is not the only pitch standard in use today. Some philharmonics tune higher than a=440Hz. Today's period instrument ensembles tune to the pitch standard appropriate to the period, which can be higher or lower than a=440Hz.
4) Wind instruments in Bach's time were designed to be tuned to chamber pitch (a half step below A440) or French chamber pitch (a whole step below A440).
5) The Baroque flute in this ensemble cannot be tuned to A440.
6) The entire ensemble is tuned to French chamber pitch because that was the pitch standard used in German courts in Bach's time.
7) This concerto was composed for and performed by the musicians at the German court of Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Koethen, when Bach was his Kapellmeister (1717-1723).
8) The piece in this video was performed in D major, not C major, at French chamber pitch, as opposed to D major at concert pitch.

Really nice performance. But it seems like someone forgot to explain to the cameraman and video editor that this is a TRIPLE concerto. The harpsichord is equal to the flute and violin! We don't even see the harpsichordist's face until almost 4.00 in. Very very strange film-making.
In a way I like that, because the way bach has written the piece, the harpsichord slowly emerges out from the texture over the course of the 1st movement. If you weren't aware its a triple concerto you might not realise until a few mins in compositional. You might just think the continuo player was just doing a lot of ott improvisation over the bassline for a while.
I would love to be able to buy these recordings on Bandcamp...
♥️♥️
This is BWV1050a, not 1050.
Correct. This needs to be put in the captions.
Wait, it still wasn't on the channel?
I know there are several versions of this concerto, but is this cadenza an original from one of those versions? Or the harpsichordist changed it?
Тише ... Bach звучит !
Hmm..... what intonation/tuning is used here?
Pitch is A=400 Hertz
Lush!
why the color filter?
No need to colour-filter this beautiful music and interpretation
Why not?
Probably just to see how it would look, honestly
Торжественно, празднично, прекрасно. Яркий пример современной интерпретации NBS концерта Баха. Ненаслушаться!
It is quite difficult to hear the flute
I can hear it very clearly, maybe different depending on headphones etc
I wish I wouldn't have heard it.
@@declamatory See my own OP, haha.
@@declamatory Why are you hitting the reply button to me when talking to yourself ?
Are these guys high or something?
They voted this one in real fast
Someone should explain to the harpsichordist that writing a "new" cadenza does not mean copying/abridging the original one.
Perhaps YOU should have explained to Johann Sebastian Bach himself that writing a "new" cadenza does not mean copying/extending the original one.
In fact, I had not read the description of the video, which explains everything (and also explains why Bach decided to write a second, much better cadenza).
Unfortunately the sound engineering is very bad, similar to the recording of Brandenburg Con. 2, which I assume was recorded in the same setting (or done by the same engineers) :/
It's very sad, that the sound quality is not same as in your other recordings, which are great!!
The musicians are of course doing a great job! But the sound engineering is really really bad!
Not my experience. I'm pretty picky. about sound, but ears vary.
This just has way too many unnecessary close-ups.
I think they have to get another flutist. But more generally I found this to be a bit underwhelming. Seems I am pretty alone in this regard here for whatever reason.
no, I agree. There were ensemble problems in the first movement. Almost like they couldn't hear each other. They struggled when they got finicky with rhythm...just play it!
I think he's fine, but in the first movement he's not as engaging as the strings and charscyises the themes very differently to the violinist. But I think that's a musical choice. But I do understand what you mean. This wasn't a sparkly energetic flute performance, but thats partly a musical choice. Not my preference though.
Not excited by this version.
How lonely you must feel😉
@@jacobushubertuskirchner9948 no, I was really trying to be very very polite.
Schade!!
You ruined the harpsichord cadenza!
And you changed the tempos. It's a bit of a moto perpetuo, and you thought you had to phrase it?
