Bach - Brandenburg Concerto no. 3 in G major BWV 1048 - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society

- The 'Brandenburg' Concerto no. 3, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, is remarkable for its unusual form and instrumentation. Bach composed it for three violins, three violas, three cellos and basso continuo. In other words, 3x3, which is a rational choice you would expect from a modernist like Pierre Boulez, rather than a Baroque composer like Bach. There is no distinction between solo and ensemble instruments: all the strings play both solo and tutti.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on October 7th 2016 at the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, 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.

Когда уже будут партиты BWV 825-830??
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.
So close to losing them forever, makes you wonder what we really lost
That just made me very happy. You guys rock.
Apparently you don't know the real story behind the "Brandenburgs."
The so-called Brandenburg Concertos are merely minor updates to concertos composed for, or at least performed by, the capella of Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Coethen when Bach was the prince's Capellmeister (1717-1723). (Even after Bach left Coethen to work in Leipzig (1723-1750), he continued to hold the title "Capellmeister to His Serene Highness the Prince of Anhalt-Coethen" until the prince's death in 1728 from smallpox. Bach provided and performed the prince's funeral music.)
When Bach wrapped the scores of the "Brandenburgs" to send them to the Margrave, he simply reused the Coethen wrapper.
The romantic notion that poor little Bach wrote these concertos and they never got performed is BS. They had already been performed in Coethen!
Lost? The "Brandenburgs" were "discovered" in the archives of Prussian Royal Library in Brandenburg in the 1840s,. But copies of earlier versions existed in the archives of the Thomasschule in Leipzig and other locations.
Bach used several movements of his allegedly lost "Brandenburgs" in his Leipzig cantatas (1723-1750). The first movement of #1 and a reorchestrated version of #3 appear as cantata sinfonias. In the 1730s he rearranged #4 for recorders, harpsichord and strings, assigning the principal violin part to the harpsichord. There are 13 versions of #5 alone and several versions of #1.
#1 probably dates from Bach's Weimar period (1708-1717). It was likely composed for a special occasion that involved a hunt at the estate of Duke Christian of Saxe-Weissenfels, a relative of Bach's Weimar employers, the co-reigning dukes of Saxe-Weimar. The horn parts in the 1st movement are rhythmically altered hunting calls.
@@herrickinman9303 Ok, well I was misinformed then, sorry.
@@herrickinman9303 at least one with knowledge and not a yes man
In my opinion, Bach is the greatest human music composer of ALL TIME!
5:50 I highly respect Ms. Emily Deans for not forgetting to turn Mr. Sato's page. When concentrating on playing, it is very hard not to forget such "additional obligation".
I love how vibrant the sound of the harpsichord is, not too high not too low
It's miraculous: I feel some living thing in the performance.
You are that living thing, my brother
prometheusrex1 Awesome comment, aren’t we all that living thing indeed.
You're correct!

"The greatest architect of sound and his most formidable elation machine" - (Glenn Gould on the Brandenburg concertos)
What amazes me about No.3 is that even 5 year olds fall in love with this piece, which proves Bach's accessibility despite his complexity.
Thanks again, NBS! 💖
@Jaikee Berlin. That’s true.
When my niece was 2 years old used to sit on my lap while I was playing Bach’s English Suite no 2 BOURRE, and she used to bang her head rhythmically. How I love Bach’s music. Brandenburg Concertos are responsible for my love at first “sight” towards Bach.
I fell in love with his minuet in G major when I was 4 and didn’t find out it was Bach until 16 years later
@@petrosliakopoulos101 that's the magic of classical music.
There is simplicity and great rhythm as well as complexity which is often overemphasised. No wonder kids like it but the problem is that 98% of them are never exposed to it.
@@petrosliakopoulos101 lmao bach didn't write the minuet in G major, people credited bach for it for some reason
It is my opinion that this is the best chamber playing Bach orchestra on the planet❣️ I listen to this to calm my soul; it is perfection.
I have to agree. They are magnificent!!
Yep.
Listened to a lot of Bach and the Netherland's Bach Society is pretty much 'top of the pile'.
Their arrangements and performances are superlative.
Bach personified. Exquisite musicality with power. People say his music is complex but all the complexity is accompanying and enhancing a basic tune. This is a wonderful performance.
Almost beyond belief. Across all time and civilization just one Bach per human race. The fiery complexity so exquisitely controlled, the whole architecture and astonishing coherency, the voicings and interpolation, it's just too much. This particular Brandenburg is my favorite, although nothing he did bores me, and has been since I first heard it decades ago. It is just so beautiful and astonishing.
My marital woes: One time I had the finale of this piece on the stereo in the truck crossing one of the bridges down near Panama City, FL. I was in a complete reverie, and she interrupted and asked me to turn it down. I should have known then, rather than wait 20 more years before the divorce. :)
I smiled all the way through. Bach is so clever-what a remarkable model of composition!
So clever and so thrilling!
Mr Sato - you are amazing. You bring a special magic to the work of the NBS.
I recommend watching the companion piece with Sato rehearsing and talking about this incredible concerto.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever
When as a teen I first began to be astounded by Bach's music, I always imagined that a record of a performance such as this must be using at least 40 or 50 musicians, given the fullness and brilliance of the sound. When I began to see videos of concerts, I was astounded that a dozen players could make a sound so glorious. Thanks, NBS!
I don't know when you were a teen, but historically clueless recordings of the Brandenburgs since the 1950s have often used several instruments per part, which may account for your perception that the performance involved 40 or 50 performers.
This glorious music is part of what was essentially a job application which was neither rewarded nor acknowledged.. One of the greatest examples of casting pearls before swine.
The fact they slowed down a little bit to emphasize the tune change at 1:56 makes it even more dramatic and epic. I love it so much!
That portion is my favorite to play! And the part with all the awesome modulation
Gave me chills!
You could to a lot of stuff that you can't do now
Deceptive Cadence!
@@matteomirri114 that's freaking great ear yes it is a V-vi in G
That was one of the most beautiful performances of BC No.3 that I’ve ever heard. I’ve got goose bumps. Thank you!
Thanks, Shunske Sato! You are the greatest violinist of all time!
This version and recording is just impeccable. It's like watching a musical conversation. The last Allegro has repetitive elements, but enough tonal surprises to keep it from growing too predictable.
I've always felt as though this piece is a mind performing it's best work: inspired, confident, balanced and direct.
Interpreting it as a musical conversation is always a good way to listen to any concerto, especially when it's a concerto with an emphasis on one particular instrument.
Absolutely magnificent! Probably the most beautiful Baroque composition ever written and completely wonderfully played.
In my first lecture at Manchester University the lecturer began as follows: "The slow movement of Bach's Double Violin Concerto is the most beautiful piece of music ever written. DON'T ARGUE! It is my job for the next three years to convince you why this is so." He was absolutely right!
Listening to this music is like opening a door to a peaceful world, where every worry dissipates, and I can completely relax.
He does have that quality Bach. My worries are automatically and literaly lifted from the inside into the outside and dissipate into thin air, just like that.
"Peace world"? HAHAHAHA what are you talking about, this piece is a intense roller coaster!
The ending (last measure) was a delight. Even audience members caught how cute it was.
Absolutely sublime. A glimpse into a heavenly dimension. This Music moves me deep inside.
What a wonderful interpretation of this glorious work. The use of rubato at specific unison ensemble moments is SO well done that I am totally stealing that idea when I conduct the 1st movement in 2 weeks. Thanks so much for posting this performance.
This is such great music thanks to the Netherlands Bach Society for keeping such an art alive. Humanity will continue to listen to Bach hundreds of years later this music is eternal and fresh.
One of the best in the world! I can sense the joy in the musicians. Thank you for uploading this!!
They are all enjoying what they're doing and what they're sounding. Love it.
Oh my goodness! This is so pretty and the harpsichord is so pretty!
It's a gorgeous instrument.
I attended an intensely boring week long string rehearsal in the Easter holidays before my 'A' levels. On the last afternoon we sight read a piece I had never heard before. This is it. One of my great lifetime memories.
Wow!! One of the best interpretations I've heard of this piece!
I listen to your interpretation of my favorite Bach piece multiple times a week; it gives me such joy❣️
Très bonne interprétation d'un des concertos brandebourgeois les plus connus. On mesure une fois de plus tout le génie de Bach dans la composition de cette partition d'un rythme soutenu et merveilleux.
I love it so much. Everyone works so wel together it's pleasant to watch.
So beautiful. My favorite of the Brandenburg Concertos!!!!!!
Yet again the NBS give us a remarkable performance and it has to be said that I felt that the cellos and bass deserve full credit as they kept the ensemble right up to the tempo all through the work. Congratulations to them.
The irrepressible energy of Bach fully deployed by Sato and the Netherlands Bach society.
Wonderful. I love this music. I once heard this music in the Rijksmuseum and with the accoustics, it sounded like a huge thunderstorm. Fantastic. Thank you so much for this performance.
Sato's performances of Bach's instrumental works rock!
Ah the lightness here in the 3rd mvt.! Wonderful. Even the best ensembles tend to be overbearing with this piece. It's very much about the mix and balance. Excellent. The first violinist is especially amazing.
Absolut perfekt!!! Ihr seit Weltspitze. Ich bin euch dankbar, dass ihr Bach so interpretiert! Danke, das ist Musik in höchster Vollendung.
Bach's music is so beautiful
Wonderful performance🍃Thank's
How couldn’t you love this lively and totally rocking piece of excellent music? There is so much movement and energy in this performance.
Such a sensible, meaningful performance, I'm sure this is the closest it can get to be back on Bach's time.
Such unfettered joy! Such sheer exuberance! Thank you for yet another feast for spirit, mind and heart. I’m listening to you as I am recuperating from a long case of Covid, and I truly feel that my daily dose of JS Bach’s sublime music, as performed by members of your group, is helping me get a bit better day by day. When I am well enough I will play a Bach Solo Cello Suite in celebration. Thank you from my heart.💗
Thank you Kellie! You are so kind. I’m taking lots of vitamin B (Bach) which has been very helpful for my mind and spirit. My body is slowly catching up. Bach’s music has such an organic effect on me. It feeds my spirit, stimulates my mind and calms or revitalizes my body depending on the piece. He’s my favorite composer hands down.☺️🎵
@monica call..get well soon dear...sending ur way lots of positivity and blessings🤗🤗
One word, amazing . Thanks for sharing.
The whole ensemble is amazing, but I must say Sato never fails to amaze me with his graceful touch and musicality.
There are some pieces that become irritatingly familiar, 3, Beethoven 9,most of Mozart, but Sato San, you changed my perception of Brandenburg 3. You are a genius. I see it now, the beauty and architecture of this work. You have opened my mind.
Snob.
@@janecote _w h y_
@@janecote glad you shat your fucking mouth, would be even cooler though if you managed to delete this ass comment
Best bach channel ever! You guys are doing an excelent work. Greetings from Chile
This is probably my favorite interpretation of this master piece from the genius! I'm loving how this sounds! It makes me feel like being inside of Johann Sebastian Bach's mind when he was composing it. So wonderful! Such a magic!
_Masterpiece_ is one word, not two.
Bach is Bach
No other words
I also greatly appreciate Ms. Deans for not forgetting to turn Mr. Sato's page, at the beginning of the 2nd movement (5:55).
This piece and this performance...perfect.
I'm sending the link to this brilliant performance of No. 3 to my very dear friend who has begun her journey into the music of JSBach. I know she will enjoy your superb performance. Many thanks.
Einfach wunderbar, wie üblich. Danke aus sonnigem Wien, Scott
This performance stands out for its restraint and sensitivity. My favorite part is the viola solo in the 3rd movement. C.P.E. Bach wrote that his father loved to play the viola since it was in the middle of all the harmony. It's not difficult to imagine him playing it in this piece.
The two-note Phyrigian cadence Adagio between the outer movements has long been a point of contention. Some ensembles play it as is, which doesn't sound right, but Bach left no hints. Some have the harpsichord do a solo cadenza. Others, with the violin. Here, Shunsuke Sato tastefully suggests the theme in the 3rd movement. Ton Koopman successfully uses the Adagio from the Toccata in G BWV 916. Still others have convincingly used the Largos from BWV 1019 and BWV 1021. Whatever one decides, it's a matter of preference and what makes musical sense and there's no shortage of interpretations.
Hermoso descubrimiento. Estoy en un curso de ritmos y alguien puso esta pieza como su aporte al foro. El adagio pese a ser tan corto, es inolvidable, por su cadencia, es como una bocanada de aire para tomar impulso. He vuelto a redescubrir a Bach y NBS es simplemente una joya deliciosamente ensamblada, gracias, gracias. A los tiempos me emociono de tanta belleza desde que empezó este siglo XXI.
Wonderful playing! As expected from this great ensemble! 😍
Simple and brillant. Bravo.
Wow! 😀So beautiful! It's one of my favorite pieces of J. S. Bach
My favorite is his concerto in e major and the second movement is so beautiful
Wonderful sound mixing; terrific vision; and superb ensemble playing! You've nailed it again NBS. Much gratitude for all your efforts from the other side of the world - Tasmania, Australia :)
3:54 - 04:09
How could Sato lead such rushing and emotional phrase without any delayed? He is so calm and precise. For the violist's face at the end of the part, I can tell this was amazing.
Bach es sublime. Gracias por compartirme esta versión del 3er concierto de Brandemburgo.
Wunderschöne und spannende Aufführung dieses einzigartigen doch perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der unvergleichliche Violinist/Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Ensemble im rhythmischen und relativ schnellen Tempo sowie mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Wunderbar und atemberaubend zugleich!
You are a poet and so correct.

When I first heard the Brandenburg concerti years ago I have to admit that I did not like them, presumably because they did not feel "serious" enough. Over the years, with more exposure to different performances and developments in personal musical sensibilities, they've come to be among my favorites of anything Bach wrote. There isn't a particular concerto that stands above the others, imo. They all seem to be unified by a fresh feeling that evokes the dynamic activity of life: wide blue skies, sunlit woodlands, and bustling streets. By the way, I would encourage anyone interested in an informative cultural, instrumental, and compositional dissection of these concerti to look for Nikolaus Harnoncourt's interviews on the subject here on TH-cam.
Wunderbar, dass die 3️⃣, die für Bach neben der 6 so wichtig war, sogar in der Platzierung der Streicher betont wird! 3️⃣ Gruppen von 3️⃣ MusikerInnen, sehr gut gemacht 👍...
Como sempre a NBS atingindo o objetivo de nos trazer um Bach pleno e belo!! Música com um frescor, como que composta ontem!!!👏👏👏🇧🇷
Sim, são maravilhosos. Bach é vida
Bravo!
pa onde mas pues mijo, que perfección, solista y su gran séquito de artistas, logran ensalzar mas el nombre de bach
I've been waiting for this one for a few months. Bravissimo!
E' travolgente la bellezza di questo Concerto. Bravissimi!!
OMG I’ve been waiting for this for SO LONG finally
One of the greatest works of art in human history.

The one violin part played by Mr. Soto seems to be incredibly difficult, but he handles it in masterly fashion.

@@corneliusnowicki5363 My bad eyes!
It looks easy in his hands.
He does a lot of showing off instead of ensemble playing.
@@pepperco100 I don't agree - I watch him and and in the movements that to you say 'showing off' I simply see a leader doing his job efficiently.
Glorious. Thank you Netherlands Bach Society. A true service to the world, music , and Bach.
Thank you for sharing this piece. Even though i am only 14, i can tell how good they are to interprate such magnificent piece. Again, such a gift from magnificent people to us🥰🥰
Beautiful. Thanks, NBS.
This piece always makes me think of a cheerful pleasant carriage ride in the country. Maybe a thunderstorm briefly overhead at one point but the occupants arrive at their destination content, nonetheless.
Belíssimo!!!
Amazing!
I disliked their recording of the Brandenburg concerto #2 for the lack of clarity in the intricate polyphony and I expected #3 to be the same. OMG, this is THE BEST recoding of Brandenburg #3 BY FAR! Congratulations to all musicians and all involved! This is a JEWEL!
These performances from the Netherlands Bach Society are treasures! Merci mille fois! 🙏🏼
I think I see three cellos, two violas, two second violins and two first violins!
I sounds like heaven to me.
That js Bach was surely a musical genius!
It’s scored for 3 violins, 3 violas, 3 cellos, and basso continuo (in this case harpsichord and bass)
@@solooverland3666 oh you are right. My ear detected a double bass, but my eyes did not see one. Thanks! 😊
Kathryn P - the bass is behind the harpsichord, between the violins and cellos, pretty much doubling the left hand of the harpsichord 👍🏼
@@solooverland3666 good ear! I see the bass behind the harpsichord. Yup you are right. The bass doubles the left hand of the harpsichord. Thank you! 👍
Kathryn P - I’ve played this piece many times. I’d better know what the hell is going on 😜
Sublime
The Brandenburgs along with Beethoven's 5th symphony are the greatest musical compositions ever created!
Beethoven 9 is the best symphony
Wonderfull, amazing, fantástic. congratulations
The third movement makes me fly through the air like superman
Enorme y muy Bella Ejecución Totalmente Magistral.
GRACIAS MAESTRO SATO.
Can't wait for the second concerto!!
Beautiful music of great virtuosity and remarkable skill. The joy of music through the ages, lives here right now!! Most majestic and divine performance! [`Salutes!!]
Wonderful!!
Amazing! Thank you very much! --- From Brazil
