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 goodness!
@@ASPOWER4 This is what I found : THE CONCERTOS LOST AND FOUND The Margrave’s apparent disinterest in the concertos risked having them lost entirely, but kept them sufficiently preserved so that when they were eventually rediscovered - the manuscript was in great shape. The Margrave died in 1734, at which time the manuscript was sold for roughly the equivalent of $24. Eventually, it ended up being found by the custodian of the Prussian royal library in 1849. The concertos were then published, for the first time, in 1850. They were given the name the “Brandenburg Concertos” in 1873, by Phillip Spitta in his biography of Bach. The rare manuscript was almost lost again during World War II before another librarian stepped in to save the day. Due to heavy bombing and fighting in Germany, a librarian transported the manuscript out of the country. Unfortunately, his train fell under an aerial bombing as well. The librarian escaped into the forest with the work under his coat. It’s now safely housed in the Berlin State Library.
@@KenNickels If Bach, whose music is my favorite , was god's emissary, why would that god allow other Europeans of the same epoch to commit terrible atrocities in their quest to conquer the world?
How many times have all of us heard these concertos? This performance is the most sensitive, most spirited and most delicate I have ever heard - no exaggeration.
Dank des famosen Freiburger Barockorchesters erklingt hier Barockmusik vom Allerfeinsten. Auch beim wiederholten Anhören wirkt diese erfrischende Interpretation reinigend auf die Seele. Musik für die Ewigkeit! Wie sagte doch Beethoven: Nicht BACH sondern MEER müsste er heißen. Bachs Musik ist monumental; aber sie bedarf keines monumentalen Aufführungsapparates. Das Freiburger Barockorchester liefert eine glänzende Bestätigung!
The Brandenburg Concertos is what got me through my math classes in 1974, when I was getting an AAS in Electronic Technology from Queensborough Community College, (which was after my 4 yrs in the USAF). I would study in the library with my cassette player and ear plugs while listening. It's now Jan, 2025, and I listened and watched this performance with great pleasure. At almost 74 1/2, I'm still greatly affected by these concertos. Thank you so much for putting this online.
Performances were filmed and recorded 23-26 March, 2000, at Hall of Mirrors in Cöthen Palace, Anhalt District in Germany, where the composer served as Kapellmeister.

These six Bach concertos are possibly amongst the greatest Baroque works which cry out the great genius of Bach for music eclipsed only by his self-effacing humility. The Brandenburg concertos delight human ears taking the audience to an ecstasy that craves for more and more of it. Time stands still when you hear them with our mind and faculties engrossed over the great beauty of his music. When the heritage of man is evaluated and counted, a large and significant contribution to it would be the compositions of Bach the younger. Salutes to the great composer.
Peuh lease! Bach had what? 14 kids? a beloved wife. composed so much I have not heard it all. St Mathew's passion ring a bell? Or the Toccata and Fugue? Bach never ceased outperforming himself.
Christophe Fournier, Bach was father to 20 children, 7 with his first wife, and 13 with his second wife. But 9 or 10 of the children died before their father.

Amazing that this was likely never heard performed to it's fullest in his lifetime... only to be unearthed later to inspire generations. Wish he could hear this.
Almost every time I want to hear Bach, I want to hear Brandenburg. And this is the supreme performance, in my opinion! For awhile I could not find it here and was heartbroken. Thank you for posting again! And thank you, musicians, for such beautifully crafted performances of this timeless music. Surrounded at times by the "popular" music, this is so refreshing.

Meine große Hochachtung! Wenn ich Euch musizieren sehe,mit welcher Inbrunst, es ist einfach Genuss. Ganz herzlichen Dank und alles Gute für Sie Karin Schmidt ❤🎉
I always listen to the Brandenbergs every holiday season. This year I am enjoying this performance and video, one of the best versions I've ever heard. Using authentic Baroque instruments gives these gems a feeling that simply cannot be attained with modern instruments. Magnificent performances and video.
@Dònal Brügge These musicians are too hammy for me. This is my opinion. If you enjoy watching them pulling faces and exaggerating the body unnecessarily, then this is good for you. No big deal. I find it corny. Old fashioned teachers would slap the student who behaves like this. It is a self indulgent distraction from the music. "Hey everyone, watch me now!" Give me a break.
@Dònal Brügge Then we agree, because a certain amount of body movement is part of playing any instrument. These folks are playing for the camera more than to the ear. They may as well be on Lawrence Welk.
There's something about watching the musicians "bobbing and weaving" while playing that makes me feel like they're "into" the music and not just playing the notes.
If we apply the passion in which the Brandenburgs are played, particulary the 3rd. movt. of the #3 Allegro (Joy, Alegria) in our lives, in everything we do......imagine the quality of life....Thanks, God for JS Bach.
In the right setting,say alone in an old empty villa with wooden parket floors, with a view of the north sea, and your eyes closed, you can travel back in time with this performance, closest you get to time travel 🍷
I can't stop marveling at how we started with a relatively full orchestra even including brass and we're essentially down to a sextet of tenor and bass strings by the end. Also the tonal leap from D major to B flat major after an hour of fairly stable tonality is striking.
Freiburger Barockorchestra - Johann Sebastian Bach: Brandenburg Concertos No. 1-6 (BWV 1046-1051) are the Bach Gold Standard. We always come back to them.
I do a lot of freelance writing. When I write, I always have music playing...and it's mostly classical and, when it's classical, it's mostly J.S. Bach. I find he helps my concentration and creativity. How can you not like this?
At 54:23 the lead violinist was on mad; At 21:08 the trompeter fell in delirium; At 01:03:15 the cembalist went wild; At 34:30 the entire orchestra started getting mad; Finally in the end at 01:27:15 everybody including me have gone mad. 🤯😅🥰😇

Really? Sorry to be a wet blanket but I think the trumpet was off, really off... I suppose a period instrument is much harder to play than a modern one, but even so... I'm thinking of Winston Marsalis (with Katherine Battle). What a difference. Sorry again, I don't mean to offend.
Fantastic performance. Without the video portion of the presentation you would have no idea horn and woodwind players were using period instruments. What dedication. The art of the impossible.
You have managed to gather such an exquisite ensemble in Freiburg, heck there are many places in the world where you can't gather such a gifted ensemble from a whole country even), God save Germany!
This is highly virtuosic and simply wonderful! Thank you all! I love the baroque instruments with all of their specialities and the baroque way of performing - highly skilled work! Excellent! Oh, by the way: In my mind the photographers did an excellent job as well - congrats!

I think it's interesting to note the way the musicians are compelled to move as they play, especially the violinists, leaning, swaying, dipping, to the inspiration of a particular passage in the music.
Bach & Motzart: Streets ahead of their time ! Love them both; and the sheer voloume of brilliant, adaptable music they wrote is astounding. Almost anything in their repetoire can be be played (with the right muscian- as this site shows) on any instrument. Truly wonderful to hear.
You are quite wrong on the first two things you wrote. Bach was not ahead of his time, he was clinging to the old dense harmonic style and trying to perfect polyphonic music which had been invented and developed by many before him. being the last "dinausor" of that era, he epitomized the polyphonic genre. As for Mozart he distinguished himself by the originality of his compositions but their genre and forms are in line with contemporary composers of his time. There were many other composers that wrote individual works at least that are better than some of the less popular works from major composers ( Corelli, Froberger, Geminiani, Telemann for Bach).
even so, he wrote at as a fast a speed as Mozart who may have started younger. Bach was one of the first to introduce chorale and orchestra to his keyboard based music. As this example of Toccatta and Fuge in D, shows, his work can be trascribed for any instrument. It is still techinically difficult, in the same way as Mozart and Chopin were, but they were 50 years later than Bach. Notwithstanding he techinicalties Bach is still the mozart musician and composer of his era,
Not at all. Your amalgamating/confusing the views we have of Mozart and Bach today with how they were viewed in their lifetimes. Mozart was a star in his living days he was popular and well known whereas Bach was not particularly well regarded at all. It is well known that Telemann a contemporary of Bach was much more popular than him. It is only more than a century later that Bach music resurfaced whereas Telemann's fell into oblivion. Do not make a parallel between Bach and Mozart. Completely different lives, different approach to writting music and different paths to posterity. Mozart was a child prodigy, Bach was a choir singer as a boy, he developed his musicianship without having to leave the kernel of his family which were all musicians. Unlike mozart who was forced to show off public prowess as "wunderkind". If you don't really know about their biographies you should not post erroneous simplifications.
NikkkitoNippongo Froberger, Corelli, Scarlatti, Geminiani, Telemann. Handel were all Bach contemporaries. Some of their work is better than some of Bach's work and vice-versa. We should listen to the best each has to offer and not limit ourselves to everything Bach wrote as the quality of his output was not always even.

Allegro moderato (4:41) II. Adagio (8:25) III. Allegro (12:33) IV. Menuetto - Trio - Polacca - Trio Concerto No. 2 in F Major for Trumpet, Oboe, Recorder, Violin BWV, 1047 (19:51) I.

Albert Schweitzer wrote concerning the Brandenburgs: "They are the purest products of Bach's polyphonic style....We seem to see before us what the philosophy of all ages conceives as the fundamental mystery of all things--that self-unfolding of the idea in which it creates its own opposite in order to overcome it, until it finally returns to itself having traversed the whole of existence."
Who remembers Christian Ludwig Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt today? Nobody. And yet the grovelling dedication of these immortal works of genius would make it seem that the Margrave was somebody great and Back a mere "Handwerker".
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.

@@ASPOWER4 This is what I found : THE CONCERTOS LOST AND FOUND

To be honest, I have never liked these concertos that much, but this time I had to stop and listen and leave a little comment on TH-cam.

Really? Sorry to be a wet blanket but I think the trumpet was off, really off... I suppose a period instrument is much harder to play than a modern one, but even so... I'm thinking of Winston Marsalis (with Katherine Battle). What a difference. Sorry again, I don't mean to offend.
@@musicfanBRA Natural trumpet is a whole different ballgame. This player is exceptional! Nuff said.
Fantastic performance. Without the video portion of the presentation you would have no idea horn and woodwind players were using period instruments. What dedication. The art of the impossible.
You are not the only one who knows about the period instruments. And of course there they are; very possible, indeed.
The best of classic music!
Came for 31:15, stayed for an hour and a half. Bravo Bach !

@@user-qg5bl2kt7u Thanks a lot
@@user-qg5bl2kt7u hehe both of you are great :))
It's wonderful watching this group, so animated.
You have managed to gather such an exquisite ensemble in Freiburg, heck there are many places in the world where you can't gather such a gifted ensemble from a whole country even), God save Germany!
This is highly virtuosic and simply wonderful! Thank you all!
I love the baroque instruments with all of their specialities and the baroque way of performing - highly skilled work! Excellent!
Oh, by the way: In my mind the photographers did an excellent job as well - congrats!

I mean it's a nice joke in a way, but it simply doesn't fit in here ...!
Johann would be delighted. This is the best.
J.S.BACH: un gigante formidabile indimenticabile affascinante eccezionale e poi TUTTO. ...
ENORME orquesta !! " Orchestra di Cámera " Enorme !!
Best music in the world.
Bach le génie de l'enfance retrouvée : musiques ludiques et mélodies mélancoliques se succèdent avec succès.
Bach is an eternal and divine beauty
I LOVE Bach....thanks so much for posting this piece of art.
Bach makes you see wonderful things.
Simply elegant.
un sommet de musicalité,un chemin de lumière
A pleasure to listen and watch.
I think it's interesting to note the way the musicians are compelled to move as they play, especially the violinists, leaning, swaying, dipping, to the inspiration of a particular passage in the music.
This is the best concert , takes me to higher self.. Awesome spirituality experience..
La música compuesta por Bach, no deja de sorprender.cada vez se escuchan nuevos matices
Takes us to wonder wonderland. Thank you for uploading! Saved my day 🦄
Great.A big applause.Thank you very much
lovely, conducting w his eyebrows and body movements
I love Bach's music, as he's my favorite composer, and entirely agree with you. Bravíssimo!
The cameras direction is brilliant
Bach & Motzart: Streets ahead of their time !
Love them both; and the sheer voloume of brilliant, adaptable music they wrote is astounding. Almost anything in their repetoire can be be played (with the right muscian- as this site shows) on any instrument.
Truly wonderful to hear.
You are quite wrong on the first two things you wrote. Bach was not ahead of his time, he was clinging to the old dense harmonic style and trying to perfect polyphonic music which had been invented and developed by many before him. being the last "dinausor" of that era, he epitomized the polyphonic genre. As for Mozart he distinguished himself by the originality of his compositions but their genre and forms are in line with contemporary composers of his time. There were many other composers that wrote individual works at least that are better than some of the less popular works from major composers ( Corelli, Froberger, Geminiani, Telemann for Bach).
even so, he wrote at as a fast a speed as Mozart who may have started younger. Bach was one of the first to introduce chorale and orchestra to his keyboard based music.
As this example of Toccatta and Fuge in D, shows, his work can be trascribed for any instrument. It is still techinically difficult, in the same way as Mozart and Chopin were, but they were 50 years later than Bach.
Notwithstanding he techinicalties Bach is still the mozart musician and composer of his era,
Not at all. Your amalgamating/confusing the views we have of Mozart and Bach today with how they were viewed in their lifetimes. Mozart was a star in his living days he was popular and well known whereas Bach was not particularly well regarded at all. It is well known that Telemann a contemporary of Bach was much more popular than him. It is only more than a century later that Bach music resurfaced whereas Telemann's fell into oblivion. Do not make a parallel between Bach and Mozart. Completely different lives, different approach to writting music and different paths to posterity. Mozart was a child prodigy, Bach was a choir singer as a boy, he developed his musicianship without having to leave the kernel of his family which were all musicians. Unlike mozart who was forced to show off public prowess as "wunderkind". If you don't really know about their biographies you should not post erroneous simplifications.
***** Many more than those two?? about Bach?? who? please tell us, will be outstanding and wonderful knowing that there' more composers like JS Bach
NikkkitoNippongo Froberger, Corelli, Scarlatti, Geminiani, Telemann. Handel were all Bach contemporaries. Some of their work is better than some of Bach's work and vice-versa. We should listen to the best each has to offer and not limit ourselves to everything Bach wrote as the quality of his output was not always even.
Beautiful. Wonderful ensemble sonorities.
Delightful! Thank you for taking the time to perform these works on such lovely instruments, and in this historic setting.
Il mio primo ascolto di Bach fu nel 1992 con i Brandenburghesi Edicola offers 5 Euro 3 CD 💿💿💿❤ Da allora Bach non mi annoia maiii. È infinito e Sorprendente dopo 32 anni 😊🙏✨🎇🎆🌌🌞🪐👑🎼🎹🎻🎻📯🎺🎺🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

I like your opinion of JS Bach! I studied Bach with a Prof. Westermann@ Hunter College, CUNY
It’s so good to see the actual musicians, I had this album and could only listen to the music, but now I can actually see them perform!
An absolutely wonderful period instruments rendition! BRAVISSIMO!
This is beyond Beautiful, soul healing therapy ❤
versione leggera e molto equilibrata, I like it very much
man, I love the Brandenburg concertos!
Just totally marvelous in every way. Thanks so much for making my life better!
Marvellous, great, beautiful, thank you so much to all of you.
Extraordinario Bach. Maravillosa interpretación de los conciertos. Para llenarse el corazón. Gracias por compartirlo y dejarlo a disposición.
spannend, schwungvoll und trotzdem unaufgeregt. top notch.
Belle interprétation, grand merci pour ce partage ! La musique de Bach est un réconfort.
Albert Schweitzer wrote concerning the Brandenburgs: "They are the purest products of Bach's polyphonic style....We seem to see before us what the philosophy of all ages conceives as the fundamental mystery of all things--that self-unfolding of the idea in which it creates its own opposite in order to overcome it, until it finally returns to itself having traversed the whole of existence."
Bravísimo !!! FELICITACIONES !!!
How beautiful the instruments look,the decorative Harpsichord black keys ,white #####
Brave, bold, brilliant…..Bach!!!!
Who remembers Christian Ludwig Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt today? Nobody. And yet the grovelling dedication of these immortal works of genius would make it seem that the Margrave was somebody great and Back a mere "Handwerker".
