For a long time, this has been the most difficult of the Bach Suites for me to digest, but this performance changed that, forcing me to entirely re-evaluate any recording or performance I'd heard before.
Bach was grumpy and serious, above all that he was extraordinary genius. He used his music in both church and the kings courts evenly and mixed them up, he did not care about what they say or criticise. He composed his gifted music , which is from ABOVE. RIP forever Herr Bach.
Here in America... here is where some of us turn when (I write this in the dreadful year 2020, and the less said of it the better or all concerned) when we need remind ourselves that there is more to life than fear, ugly politics, and self-pity Bach outlasts us all, and I would love to convince people that nobody ever outgrows Bach. 2020 will pass, and Bach will still be here. Did I forget to praise this lively performance and the musicians who make it all possible?
How Bach would love these musicians...I'm sure the bassoonist would be personally invited home to share in a Bachian supper...repeatedly. I'm also sure that he'd then have further delights written specifically for him...ponder that, if'n you dare. Full of joy, grandeur, and "perfect conversation" for sure, but Bach always gives insights into life's pains and anguish, also...he knew every emotion, and could speak to each eloquently, and purely. No other composer does that so well...every time...without fail. Mozart, Beethoven, and all that followed him knew this...their praises were not idle chat, written and spoken lightly...they were as dumbfounded as we. // NBS, never cease, please.
Yes! Amen to all of those comments. And a huge thanks to the Netherlands Bach Society. To my ancient ears all I've heard so far ismagnificent ( from Charles in New Zealand
@Richard Wilson Yep, that's one of the best of the many "wholly lovable Bach", anecdotes. Nanny goats are the only ones that don't laugh when they hear this story.
Why would you presume to speak for someone with 100x your musical talent, who you know nothing about, and have no specific insight into his personality of who he liked? It's foolish, no one knows whether Bach would like how this is played, you can only comment on how you feel. And, you are not Bach.
My favorite Bach Orchestral Suite! Beautiful performance. Thanks for posting. I think J.S. would be proud to know that musicians from all over the globe love, respect and perform his music 250 , almost 300 years later. It never gets boring. I only wish I had been born in Bach's time and had the privilege of singing in his choir at Thomaskirche in Leipzig.
Music for angels and God. Bach was a fantastic compositor. Not only for the harmony as the sentiment and the feelings it provokes to those who hear his music.Viva Bach forever!!!
Che missione meravigliosa avete avuto da Dio! Ogni volta che ascolto Bach interpretato da voi, anche i momenti più difficili della vita svaniscono e si vede in prospettiva, si tocca anche quasi con mano, la meravigliosa vocazione di noi tutti alla Comunione dei Santi... Perché la gioia della musica di Johann Sebastian è la gioia profondamente cristiana, è l'anticipo di quella lode che siamo tutti chiamati a vivere eternamente in Paradiso 🎼👼🙌💗🕊️. Rendo grazie a Dio per Johann Sebastian e per voi! Grazie, Grazie, Grazie! 🙏
Questa Sinfonia è così Meravigliosa che mi ha aiutato con la sua Energia a sconfiggere la mia Depressione.. Dio Benedica Bach 😊✝️🌌 Soli Deo Gloria....Ma onore al Grande Kappellmeister di Lipsia...
¡Qué buena idea de arrancar el Adviento con esta obra tan llena de vitalidad! 333 años después, Johann Sebastian Bach nos hace llegar un mensaje de alegría.
Gorgeous music played even more gorgeously. Thanks for existing thanks for sharing . Each one of these masters born to play , their happiness infectious. Who need superheroes to save the world. NBS is here, hopefully to stay forever.
Sin duda, la mejor interpretación de la Suite n° 4 de Bach, que jamás he escuchado. Magníficos intérpretes ! Una ejecución impecable, donde se puede percibir la virtuosidad y la pasión que todos y cada uno ponen en cada nota. Bravo, bravo, bravo !!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
How is the conductor not missing notes? I cannot wrap my mind around the combination of directing such a piece and playing at the same time. But what a great performance overall. I think it sounds slimmer and much more refined in this reduced setting. They say you always like the first good rendition of a piece best, but I like this so much. Thanks again to the NBS and their incredible channel.
I enjoyed this a lot but I can't get around missing the trumpets and timpani in the beginning of the Ouverture. This D-major just is even more powerfull with them and if you expect them and they do not play it doesn't come close to the majestic entry with them 😢 And there are parts from the mid 18th century of different scribes that include timpani and trumpets, so I think it is not a farfetched thing. But that is my personal view. I respect the decision and performance and it was an interesting insight!
I recognise the Overture es the Chorus from the Cantata BWV 110 'Unser Mund sei voll des Lachens' Genius, how Bach was able to adept his music fro the specific purposes
Uno de los mejores regalos 🎁 con la mejor representación de la vida en sus mejores momentos. Millones de gracias por compartirlo. ¡FELICITACIONES POR DOQUIER! 💜💛💙❤💚🌝⚘🎅🌞🌙🗽🌏👏
Blijft mooi zeker door de Bach vereniging. Ga volgende week naar de Maria vespers in Rotterdam. En volgend jaar 2020 naar de Mattheus Passion ook door de Bach vereniging ook in de doelen. Concerto Grosso ga ik ook heen in de doelen. In 2020

Well played, but actually Mortensen could just have used his hands to play rather to conduct. Everything necessary could come from the first violinist, who is brilliant.
Have you listened to the interview with Mortensen about this piece? That surely makes it clear that the way it is played here is very much HIS way. Which is not at all to deny Shunske Sato's brilliance, both as soloist and as the Society's musical director and principal conductor - though in fact one of the many incidental charms of this performance is the way in which in the most civilized way he is content to be 'just the first violin'. (And in the rehearsal clips seemed as entertained as everyone else by Mortensen's 'intelligent and illuminating antics'. )
They're not playing in C Major they're playing in D major. They're most likely playing it in a historical temperament, like well-temperament, instead of the modern temperament we're used to hearing.
For a long time, this has been the most difficult of the Bach Suites for me to digest, but this performance changed that, forcing me to entirely re-evaluate any recording or performance I'd heard before.

he may have been grumpy and serious, but above all he seemed to live in ecstasy
Mortensen always brings enthusiasm to a performance!

If Bach doesn’t beat up the basson player that is...

@@TA152H01 and alas, its not that serious or deep. 🙄😵💫
Thank you for letting my ears hear this suite anew! I enjoy the tremendous enthusiasm with which this is played. God bless the bassoonist!
A performance of pure joy!!! It is incomprehensible that one man could have written so much glorious music.

A wonderful cloud of notes singing with incredible joy. You are great! The bassoon sounded divine. Bravo!
The bassoonist is a rockstar.
He is FANTASTIC!!!
A Barock Star
The bassoon such a low power instrument but he makes it work..
Spectacular as always. Thank you, NBS, for your commitment to sharing these beautiful recordings with us. You are doing amazing work.

My God! That was more sublime than sublime. And the person conducting & at the same time playing organ was so infectiously ecstatic !
Another victory for the NBS. Sublime!
いつも安定した演奏で、安心して聞いていられます。皆さんが笑顔で演奏されている姿はとても素晴らしいです。ありがとう。

Buenos dias caballeros! Como va la cosa por donde vivis?
Another astonishing performance. Really. This reveals entirely new layers to a centuries-old classic.
I absolutely love this, I come back at it all the time, I love this
Tremendous energy and vitality, a real jeu d'espirit and superb performance
Truly magnificent performance: I enjoy this every day!! Thank you NBS!!
Durchsichtig - dank der hervorragenden Aufnahme-Tecnnik - und brillant!
Apart from the wonderful playing, the recording is first class and plays through my small computer speakers wonderfully well

It is inspiring, fun, I daresay entertaining, the way in which they animate this already remarkable, spritely score.
I like the bassoon in the background very much!
Bach: una sola parola, meraviglia...🎼🎶🎺🎻🎹💖

Most beautiful! Thank you~☀️
Sounds Wonderful and brilliant....
Wonderful. I had a feeling of stop breezing when listening to.
מוסיקה לנשמה !!! תודה מעומק הלב !
I enjoyed this a lot but I can't get around missing the trumpets and timpani in the beginning of the Ouverture. This D-major just is even more powerfull with them and if you expect them and they do not play it doesn't come close to the majestic entry with them 😢

This definitely has to be played when I leave earth
Wow! Wonderful!
Wunderschön.

La musique de JS Bach prouve une nouvelle fois que Dieu existe !❤😊
Il était unique en son genre js bach. Interprétation superbe.
Magnífico.
Bravíssimo 👏👏👏
Sublime NBS de très très loins tous mes préférés pour la musique hors du commun et si spirituellement nourriture de l’âme de J.S.BACH
Bravo!🎶👍
Obrigada por postar!
il nous faut s'incliner devant ce Bach d'excellence
The Violinsts /violist don't even use a chin rest. Respect!
As every baroque violinist should do :)
@@padrepatta5535 I wasn't aware of that. Thank you!

The harpsichordist doesn't use one either 😉😂

Это прекрасно !
life is short⏳ , listen Bach
Absolutely mega
very classieux !!
Loved almost everything about this wonderful Suite. I did find the Harpsichordist/Director totally distracting to the music.
Blijft mooi zeker door de Bach vereniging. Ga volgende week naar de Maria vespers in Rotterdam. En volgend jaar 2020 naar de Mattheus Passion ook door de Bach vereniging ook in de doelen. Concerto Grosso ga ik ook heen in de doelen. In 2020
Beautiful! But somehow I miss the trumpets...And NBS has such wonderful trumpet players!
I wonder why they didn't include trumpets for this performance.
La musique la plus joyeuse que j'ai jamais entendu
Even if almost certainly right about the trumpets and timpani, I still sorta miss them here.
Nice performance but I do miss the trumpets and timpani
Enthousiasmant ! Le chef d'orchestre au clavecin est désopilant .
It really sounds better without the trumpets. Dank U
1:17 check out the evil look the cellist gives to her colleague lol
Is this a performance without ɓrass? It sounds perfectly fine.
Yes, musicologists think Bachs first version was without brass: www.bachvereniging.nl/en/bwv/bwv-1069
❤❤❤
Trumpets are essential to giving it a backbone which is absent here; though this as it is is suberbly performed.
great. special fantastic barok body dancing 2.pult first violin.
I think her name is Lidewij Van der Voort
Bravi ma mancano le trombe e i timpani!!!!
🙏
Too fast, especially the last movement, the ascending to the divine, which is not a race
Em chơi hay quá
?
Where aretrumpets??????

Grande Mortensen 😂😂😂💪✨🎆👑🎼🎹🎶🎶🎶🤗❤💥💯
If you add trumpets and timpani, you might as well add 4-part choir: th-cam.com/video/Uz7XHnJ87cY/w-d-xo.html
Courtly splendour
Porque esta versión no tiene las trompetas y timbal??
See the explanation in the description above.
@@bach Oh 😂😂 mea culpa
where is the timpani and trumpets?
Isn't this overture used in Unser Mund Sei Voll Lachens?
Yes that's right: th-cam.com/video/s6z7I9j3A74/w-d-xo.html
Ma trombe e timpani sono stati dimenticati?
Where is BWV 1066?!

Rigtig dejlig musik, og hr. Mortensen er herlig med sine flagrende dirigent-arme og hænder.....
Where are the trumpets and timpani?
Mortensen explains the omission of those instruments in this video: th-cam.com/video/MAF2WUsMlh4/w-d-xo.html

how much is sato's violin?
I can't afford it is all I know.
pretty boy thank you for telling me that.
Shōnin Risa Bear thank you for the comment have a good time.
pretty boy i have a baroque violin that made in french .2009 too. my baroque violin is 11000erus.
il minuetto è troppo veloce , deve dare il tempo di ballare
Why do they play in C Major?
They're not playing in C Major they're playing in D major. They're most likely playing it in a historical temperament, like well-temperament, instead of the modern temperament we're used to hearing.
Why no trumpets????
We decided to perform the original version and not the one with added trumpets and timpani from 1730: www.bachvereniging.nl/en/bwv/bwv-1068
Hätte man dem Cembalist noch einen Dirigent spendieren können oder dem Dirigent einen Cembalist? Oder ist das historische Aufführungspraxis?! ;-)
This is historical performance practice. Sometimes people directed from other instruments, but harpsichord is the usual choice.
- and Mortensen is used to it :) He directs his own orchestra "Concerto Copenhagen" from the harpsichord, mostly.
