- For the first time in 4K Ultra High Definition video, Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G Major (BWV 1048), complete, performed on original instruments by the Early Music ensemble Voices of Music.
Please subscribe to our channel th-cam.com/users/VoicesofMusic...
In March of 1721, Johann Sebastian Bach carefully inked six of his best concertos into a book for the Margrave of Brandenburg, Christian Ludwig. The original title, "Six Concerts à plusieurs instruments" is now known as the "Brandenburg" Concertos in English or "Brandenburgische Konzerte" in German.
These six concertos represent the summa of chamber music in the high baroque period, and the third concerto (BWV 1048) is noted for its rich texture of three violins, three violas and three cellos, with a continuo part for the harpsichord and violone. The original title is as follows: "Concerto 3zo [terzo] a tre Violini, tre Viole, è tre Violoncelli col Basso per il Cembalo". On the continuo part, Bach has written "Violone & Cembalo", and this is how it is performed in the video, just as it is indicated in the original manuscript.
Brandenburg III makes an appearance in Season 6, Episode 19 “Lessons” of Star Trek: The Next Generation, as well as the episode "A Matter of Time."
This concerto is part of the Voices of Music Great Works project. A Creative Commons edition of the score, based on the composer's manuscript, will be published to accompany the complete recording, and the recording will be available worldwide on Blu-Ray and CD, and for free on MP3 and high-definition, 24 bit FLAC files.

Make it so, No. 3.
Engage!
Ooo
:)
Fun fact: In the episode "A Matter of Time" in Star Trek: TNG at around the 19:35 mark, the piece can be heard!
In my Personal opinion, a favorite amongst the Viola's and Bassists.
All my life I loved J S Bach, but I never imagined that one day I would be listening to a Brandenburg concerto whilst sitting in my apartment...in the state of Brandenburg!
It's hard to believe a human being is capable of writing this..
You have no idea how many times I've thought the same
Yes ditto
...But is true! God's things!
This comment should be Pinned to the top.
This music is a gift from the highest spiritual realms
My dad died listening to this. His last words were”so beautiful “. Not a bad way to go.
I'm so sorry for your loss
I am so sorry for you but you gave him comfort at the end
Thank you for sharing 2:14
We should all go listening to our favorite music!
Peace be with your dad and yourself
It sounds like climbing a never ending staircase of pure joy 😊
great way to put it
Man, when that 3rd movement kicks in, it just kills me, every time. It gives me hope for humanity to know that someone could create something so beautiful. I get weepy just thinking about it. Perfect performance, thank you.
me too
Amen!
😊
In my view the Brandenburg Concertos represent the greatest achievement in the history of mankind.
300 years old and still so relevant and lovely
Still will b around In 1000 years..

Bach, one of the best antidepressants in this world!
I am mexican... When I was 16 and 17 years old I had thinking on suicide several times just because I coudnt accept living in this absurd and unfair society. I have to say that 2 things apparted me from suicide: Stepan wolf from Hessen and Brandemburg Concerts from Bach... Im a mature man now, studied philosophy at university, ive always loved literature and art since I was 7 years old... So I want to say that, since I was adolescent, I had the vague impression that Bach music is the universe language, I cannot say it in other words. When I was adolescent and listened to Brandemburgo concerts I felt that Bach music expressed something like the structure of universe. As if Bach´s music helped me to understand the universe. It is so deep, powerful and meaningful... In contrast, Mozart´s music looks to me superficial, only sounds funny games...
🥺 so proud of you... I’m playing this for a concert next week
Hey Miguel. Bach's music also helps me understand the universe we live in. I'm not a religious person, but Bach's music touches my soul. Stay strong my friend.
I'm quite sure Bach's music has healing properties. It puts you in touch with the harmony inherent in the Universe (as described by Kepler).
Bach is probably the greatest Genius of all time
Stravinsky said Bach was better at music than anyone else is at anything.
He is!
Yes indeed
My dad died listening to this. His last words were “ so very beautiful “. I hope I die like that.
Oh that is so touching
bach brought music from heaven to earth
"JS BACH BROUGHT MUSIC FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH!" 🌎 🌍
Well, um...YEAH!!! :)
**HE MOST CERTAINLY DID!!** 😁
Amen!!!!! Celestial music
My father was a choir director and church organist. I grew up hearing Bach being played in the house. I feel as though my dad is around when I listen to this music.
The lady cellist to the viewer's right of the harpsichord is SUCH A JOY to watch!!! From what I see, she loves life and music! BRAVO!
Tanya Tomkins! 👏👏
Me encanta!!!
Exactly.
Fabulosa!
The cello is like a part of her body. She's in complete control
It's time of isolation. But listen to BACH. And you never will be alone
Agree.
@@VoicesofMusic is there a FLAC online download for free or some price? buying FLAC is better idea than visting a store during isolation.
Bach's genius is indisputable. Parts of this concerto are so inspired and inspiring, so fiery but exquisitely controlled, the voicings and phrases, the complexity and interpolation, and astonishing coherencies, everything about it's architecture and beauty, are truly fantastic in the most extreme sense of the word. In all the billions of people of all time, there was only one Bach.
I love No 54, how he creates so much from so little. My fav is the old B/W BBC footage with Glen Gould speaking about him, the piece, and then the beautiful singing. It's just a piece of magic I am so so lucky to have on my PC. We are all so lucky right now to have this much accessibility which may not be available to any of us at any point in our blind future.
Peace and love to all.
I remember when I was in middle school right before the Internet became a thing, I had the attention span to just sit back and listen to music like this for an hour or two and not feel distracted. It was great.
10 min or even 3 is still good for you
Shall we neglect to praise and laud the staging and filming of this, or fail to say that it is as pleasing to the eyes as ears? No, ladies and gentlemen: we shall not.
It does look satisfying doesn't it
People who dislike this beautiful video are hard to understand.
This music is like a cool breeze, a light thru the darkness, a soft touch from a friend. Thank you all so much!
Bach somehow defines Western Civilization with that turn at 5:02. It’s just indescribably brilliant. He delivered this creation in the year 1721, maybe earlier.
Best version on TH-cam
Everything they perform is the best on you tube🙂
Yes!
I don't understand how this incredible channel doesn't have millions of subscribers, they deserve it! and the people of this world must know it! they do not know what they are missing. wonderful artists, incredible sound.
Thanks so much!
Alvaro many of our contemporaries look down at people of our ilk. They think we are out of touch, unfortunately they they do not realize the glory of the music we love.
Perhaps if we added fireworks coming out of the harpsicord, and CGI warriors and fighter jets zooming through the strings....?
Ah, no.
Brandenburg Concerto No.3 is the best of all the Brandenburgs. It's so catchy and upbeat all the way through.
I agree.
Best tweedle-deets!
My favourite is 6th concerto and then 3rd.
They are just so fun to listen to :)
It's interesting to watch the face of the grey-haired cello player as she plays - her facial expressions show that the human brain is engaging the same mental pathways to express music as it does when expressing speech. This music is wordless and it still resonates in the human mind as communication.
Beautiful.
"Sheets? Where I play I don't need sheets!"
-Cello Dude on the right
That isn’t a cello because it has 5 strings. What is it?
It's a cello.
I remember playing this song in high school this song was one of the hardest piece to play I personally think
Baroque is my favorite genre of music, and this is one of my favorite Baroque pieces. I am a historian who specializes in the "long 18th century," not a mathematician or physicist, but the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 always struck me as a musical interpretation of the principle of perpetual motion. This is one of the best I have ever heard.
I like that very much. The whirring universe. Bach conceives of perpetual motion; out comes this concerto. Especially the 3rd movement.
My favorite is Brandenburg no 4
@@DNAleguillou Mine is Brandenburg no 2

This is Bach. It like God is behind you giving you sunshine . And the music covers you .
✝️🌅♥️
Bach was a deeply devout Lutheran. Most of his music takes inspiration from Lutheran theology. It's so amazing.
Playing this on 0.75x speed makes me feel like I'm eating in the fanciest and poshest restaurant in the world that serves the most expensive food and has the most luxurious interior and exterior
The Brandenburg Concertos are the most beautiful / moving piece of music I have ever heard.
I admire not only the genius that produces such heavenly music, but also the discipline, the training, the devotion required to perform it!
I still don't know why you guys only have like 196K subscribers, this is one the best sound quality and performance with 4K footage. How in the world people not like this?
Hopefully we will get more subs!
I just subscribed!
Because every individual in World is not lucky..
They are missing heaven hapiness..
I'm a New World Man. I love Rock. I love Rush. I love ZZ Top, Pat Benetar, Genesis, even Reel Big Fish.
My Dad would have no Rock music in the house. I grew up with the Ohio State Marching Band albums and classical music. The first album I can remember hearing was Walter Carlos' (now Walter) Moog synthesizers with "Switched On Bach" and I never forgot this whole piece. Ever. Bach was the closest to God in my opinion. Thank you Voices, I am a contributor.
I looked up Bach after hearing baroque style solos in rock/metal songs. I've been playing classical guitar now for years.
More of a rap guy myself but my piano teacher told me to listen to this and boy is it beautiful to see people who love making art doing their work. Right on!
What’s incredible about Bach is that he says so many things without uttering a single word
Bach was able to answer an age old question: "Is there life after death?" With a resounding yes.
The sound quality is sooo good
Tx!
This may have become my favorite rendition of Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. Beautifully executed.
Bach has saved many lives...His music is the manifestation of something that trascends the miseries of the world and transports to a Spiritual Realm of orderly beauty and unphatomable harmony. Thank you Johan Sebastian!
Reminds me of Sunday mornings when my neighbor would drink his coffee outside and play Bach.
My favorite brandenburg and quite frankly, favorite song. wonderful performance and lovely tone!
I didn't see any singers.
@@aragornthebrave My apologies. Favorite *piece*.
@@aragornthebrave oh my!
"I dont have time for this..." probably bach when he wrote the second movement.
🤣
man im so DISTRACTED by this song DISTRACTIBLE its such a beautiful song DISTRACTIBLE
I do not know where to begin. First, ahhh Bach. Enough said. Then the ensemble. All extremely talented musicians. Flawless performance. Then the videography and sound quality are high-end. Well done by all involved. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece of a performance.
Thanks so much, you are very welcome.
I want to be your 1,001 comment contributor, during this unprecedented Coronoviruus pandemic times in April, 2020,
I am hoping and pray this challenge will soon be over and years later people will likewise appreciate this beautiful music which I have been enjoying for decades ,
Thank you.
La longue cadence vers 4:30 reprise par les violoncelles est stupéfiante, on dit d'habitude que le "Sturm und Drang" commence avec Carl Philippe Emmanuel et Haydn, mais là on est déjà en plein dedans ! Le génie de Bach avec une très belle interprétation par Voices of Music, as usual !
Agree it foreshadows CPE Bach, interesting.
The amount of hidden details is delightful!
In a thousand years from now humanity with still appreciate Bach.
Fact 👏
This piece is so divinely perfect from a writing/composing standpoint, that it's almost enough to make a man question his atheism. How can a mere man write such heavenly music?
well... a mere man did. He was called J.S. Bach! 🤟
The fact that he actually did write it effectively restores mine :)
@M S Bach said: "The main purpose of my music is to glorify God".
And he would pray: "Jesus, help me show your glory through the music I write".
He also wrote "SDG" ("Solo Dei Gloria" = to God alone be the Glory) at the bottom of every paper on which he composed.
God evidently blessed him and worked through him.
Keep seeking God and you will hear glorious music in Heaven, likely meet Bach there and be delivered from the fear of death now.
The name "Jesus" means "saviour" in the sense of "loosener", "rescuer" and "deliverer".
The New Testament tells us that He frees us from sin, guilt, shame, death, Satan, destructive habits, binding traumas and everything dark.
He is, after all, the "Light of the world" (John 8:12 & 9:5).
The more we seek, the more He reveals Himself. Because seeking is a sign of humility and faith (trust).
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6).
I experienced that and it led to me understanding the Bible for the first time after spending 40 years as a head believer without the Holy Spirit (who "teaches and guides us into all Truth": Jesus's words in John 14:26 & 16:13).
I suggest starting with John's Gospel and then the other Gospels and the rest of the New Testament (and then the Old Testament because it foreshadows the New and can only be understood in light of it).
And don't give up.
God bless you. The one true God is good and loves you.
We can only be reconciled to Him through our repentance/His forgiveness and faith in Jesus (John 14:6, Romans 5:1).
It was no "coincidence" that I saw this comment!
That second movement though... straight fire!!
Can we give applause to the bass?! This piece is very detailed, and it’s no joke for the bass section!
Bach the master of all
When eleven players rock like one, that's ROCKIN'!
They need each other to sound like that...good ear to you
The phrasing, dynamic range and mastery of this piece by these musicians really makes it so inspiring, especially in the first movement. The conversation among the cellos, violins and violas is wonderful.
Bach certainly keep everybody in the orchestra on their toes.... 🎶
This is my favourite Brandenburg. It's so wonderfully descriptive. An 18th century gentleman goes out for a drive with his horse and buggy on a bright, crisp Spring morning. That's the first movement. He stops at a tavern for a refreshing beer - the intermezzo. Then , realising the time, he hurries home to be in time for supper - the faster allegro movement. It was also a joy to see the four violinists tossing the musical motifs amongst themselves like a volleyball team. 😊
J.S Bach would be proud of this group of musicians!
Let's us not forget that JS Bach may be the greatest musical genius of the past 500 yrs. Not only was he one of the greatest composers ever, he was the greatest organist in the world in the early 18th century. Many contemporaries said he was the greatest organist in the world, but he was the greatest organist who had ever lived or would ever live. He could do it all.. compose, perform and conduct
no doubt
He had to maintain a lot of suns, a big family ;-)
@@jajudez y que tiene que ver eso con su capacidad de creación artística?
Jose GOMEZ VENTO con la calidad nada, se tiene o no. Pero con la cantidad, sí. La necesidad es la necesidad.
Jose GOMEZ VENTO pero vamos, era una broma, como indica el icono final.
I can listen to the first movement forever. When I had a particularly bad day i would play, rewind, play again, rewind, etc. My daughter was only 3 but she quickly learned if Mommy did this, it's best to sit quietly in your car seat until we get home. (She's now 37.)
Love this performance so much!
When you try to stay away, but keep coming Bach ❤️
The clarity of playing is astounding! I have sometimes not liked some performances of Bach's music, and Baroque music in general, because the players, be they on modern or so-called period instruments, play very fast and slur the notes together. But the Voices of Music players have a superb articulation without sacrificing the smoothness amd momentum of the performance. Superbly played!
robertm2000, I am sorry for my inadequate English. I agree with you, it sounds very good! Maybe they know better than everyone else where to put the microphones? :-)
THIS EASILY MAY BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RECORDING OF THIS BACH PIECE
Best version I've ever heard. The musicians are truly talented
For a good portion of my life, I've heard this piece but I never knew what it was. FINALLY FOUND IT!
There is something so prefect about this. It's like a butterfly opening it's wings to reveal the perfect symmetry or splitting a piece of wood to open up it's perfect book matching. It's a perfect order, before entropy changes that.
Played with so very much emotion, and captured with engineering expertise. Gorgeous audio and video.
I really love how these people played the piece with the tools available during the Barique period. They used Baroque bows (which I have neve tried but look both fun and difficult). The cellos also had their endpids retracted like how cellos during the baroque period weren't usually built with end pins.
WOW! I never noticed that!
This is the most perfect rendition I have ever heard. They balance their instruments perfectly and their command of their instruments and knowledge and passion of their playing, just puts me in heaven. Oh my!
J.S. Bach, the inventor of good music.
That's the right way to play Bach ..on period instruments .. this is another world ..( and for the performer too ; it's really anothers sensations , and for the lover too ..) Something else ..
agreed. The keyboard stool though... :-D :-D :-D ;-)
C'est magnifique. Bach was an utter master of his craft. Give me more!
How did anything on this planet get to be so beautiful, in the composure and the execution alike. If you close your eyes, you can see the waves of beauty flowing up and out from these musicians.
I agree! And 'waves of beauty' is a wonderful way of putting it. :)
I could listen to this forever... lifts my heart to the Heavens. Do these people realize how incredibly gifted they are?
I'ma say...
Yes. They know (*_*)
Yeah, so I'm just going to say this once: this is now my very favorite channel. Bach on original instruments? Are you kidding me???
Still the beaty of all musicians didn't expired,I'm watching this recording, hundreds of times,any other recording can't beat the "voices of music, thank you very much mr.david Taylor and Mrs.hanakke van proosdij
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.
The concertos were not lost and they were performed. For example, Brandenburg 5 was played as a piano concerto in the classical period.

@@VoicesofMusic :"...The concertos were found in the archives in 1849 and published the following year, 100 years after Bach's death. Much of Bach's instrumental music, especially from his Köthen years is known to have been lost so we're doubly lucky that the Brandenburgs ever reached us."
@@VoicesofMusic The problem with Bach’s gift to Christian Ludwig was that he hadn’t really thought at all about the recipient. The court at Berlin wasn’t as musical as Prince Leopold’s establishment in Köthen and there simply weren’t the musicians capable of playing these concertos. The manuscript was put away in a cupboard, unused and forgotten, and no payment or acknowledgement was sent to Bach. The concertos were found in the archives in 1849 and published the following year, 100 years after Bach’s death. Much of Bach’s instrumental music, especially from his Köthen years is known to have been lost so we’re doubly lucky that the Brandenburgs ever reached us. It’s easy to wonder how many other masterpieces have been lost but rather than mourn what we don’t have, I’ll continue to take my dose of happiness from those six sunny, fortunate concertos.

We will try our best!
Thank you for so much.
This should be broadcast on TVs and in radios to make people feel relaxed and happy in these difficult times. It is such an incredibly perfect music, performed flawlessly by very skillful and talented musicians, thank you for all your great work that can be found on TH-cam.
This group is absolutely fabulous! Uhm, other words of praise: superb, stupendous, marvelous, wonderful, exquisite, magnificent, grand, excellent, superlatives, prodigious, phenomenal, and magnifique!
How much is the ticket for the bed under the harpsichord? 😁 I LOVE BACH! I LOVE HARPSICHORD! I LOVE THE VIOLIN FAMILY OF INSTRUMENTS! I LOVE VOICES OF MUSIC! I wish my friends loved Bach as much as I do. Most don't even know who he is. Classical music is so underrated in this country, and that is a damn shame. I was in Germany for a couple months. Germans play music like this in the streets! This is street music in Germany!
Sure wish I could afford to buy a ticket and donate. Alas, I'm a poor as a church mouse.
You are in the US I assume?
And u are exaggerating slightly about street music, but Bach is more common in Germany i think so too
Relax...
The greatest piece of music ever written.,,, smile face.
One of the best recordings of this concerto that I've heard. This ensemble has the maturity of seasoned musicians but vigor of young virtuosi. Bravi tutti!
This is a world class performance of Bach's 3rd Brandenburg concerto, and I've had the privilege to listen to many, including live performances by two of the most prominent early music ensembles in the world. This one is is just to masterfully executed. No matter how many times I listen to these concerti, I always hear something new and exciting.
SUBLIME. PERHAPS ONE OF THE GREATEST RECORDINGS OF THIS BACH CONCERTO .
Oh my goodness, this is an exquisite interpretation of the mightiest musical Maestro’s amazing Brandenburg 3. Perfect tempo and tone, I really love it - thank you so much. Bach, will forever be the greatest of all, it’s as if he transported a little piece of heaven into each of his compositions 👍
Beautifully said
The depth of the music is spectacular. The balance of the instrumentation is excellent, which creates a very profound and sophisticated watching experience. Outstanding performance!!
Thank you.
4:32 I guess this was when Bach invented headbanging! 😍
hahahahahahahahahha
What an exquisite way to start my day! Praising God and worshipping Jesus with this music. Inspired and magnificent!!!! Thank you for sharing this on TH-cam.
It's been over 30 years since I played the double bass in my high school orchestra. I wasn't great, but I was 1st chair (because no one else played the bass), and Brandenburg 3 was (and still is) one of my most favorite pieces of music. Y'all played beautifully, and I broke down in tears while listening to and watching this recording. I suppose retrospection and mortality hits us hard sometimes, but thank you.
from a current semi-pro bassist it is never too late to get back into it! Baroque is some of the most satisfying bass parts if you really get into them.
Bach the best remedy in time of quarantine, regards from chile
Me too
Muy cierto.
I love this more than anything. It not only sounds beautiful on the baroque instruments but it is a wonderful performance to watch because everyone is so into the music and everybody wearing red with the dark background truly pulls it off. Such musicality and spirit, beyond appreciation! If only I could listen to all six Brandenburg concertos from you guys!
I love how on 4:02 the violas and violins managed to make that muffled-cacophony-like sound without too dominating the basses who carry out the theme at this point 👏👏
this is how a clean room sound like, roughly speaking.
Depends what you mean by clean.
This is what moms hear when they watch their children cleaning their rooms.
Sometimes literally.
This is the best performance I've heard of this piece... Please get this on Spotify!
Having listened to dozens of recordings of this concerto, I can safely say this is the best rendition ♥️
Thanks so much!
This and Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" are sheer perfection and a glimpse into the beauty of what mankind can achieve at its best. The Blue Danube too is pretty awesome. I crank that up in my car a lot.😎
