Compare the interpretations of the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra to the ones of Orchestra Mozart under the direction of Claudio Abbado. Which do you like better? czcams.com/play/PLBjoEdEVMABJhjc66cvtxhvEaTjEC3hkz.html
+EuroArtsChannel Both are fantastic performances but I like the Orchestra Mozart one more. I find it more lively, especially the Allegro assai movement.
I love the baroque instruments in this recording (oboe and violin), but I like much more the Andante played by Orchestra Mozart. In this recording they make too many breaks in the Andante, nearly after each 1/4 note.
I like the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra best, because the sound of the Period-Correct F Trumpet. I feel this gives it a depth to the sound that the Orchestra Mozart recording, though Reinhardt plays a modern instrument with outstanding projection, lacks.
"Welcome to the Salty Spitoon. How tough are ya?" "How tough am I? How tough am I?! I played Brandenburg Concerto 2 last night.” "Yeah? So?" "On natural trumpet." "Uh, right this way. Sorry to keep you waiting."
I love the way the trumpeter uses next to no lip pressure to reach those top notes. Indeed, his facial expression and embouchure remain unchanged across the instrument's range - quite amazing.
I think Johann would cry tears of joy to hear his music played so beautiful and with such love. I imagine him walking in and feeling amazed at how his work survived this long. It is timeless.
Aston Magna in early 1980s Smithsonian collection of Brandenburg played on Original instruments: Albert Fuller, Artistic Director Musicians Jaap Schroder, Stanley Ritchie violin Fortunato Arico and John Hsu, cello and viola da gamba Friedemann Immer trumpet Bernard Krainis, recorder Michel Piguet Oboe and John Solum transverse flute Also 8 Sonatas and solos harpsichord, but was recorder in 1977 on original instruments in Great Barringotn Mas at the Aston Magna Summer Festival And just one offering of the museums attempt to open up the historic offerings and current talent I suppose maybe other museums will do the same for the public, and for the players the musicians themselves. I cannot be more excited when I bought the offerings and every part from the vinyl tpo the descriptions of the programs and the selections, but I did find some prinitng errors on vinyl and in the program, but most won't see the errors, I once after high school operated a copier at the time, a mimeograph machine with green stenciled typed studies and a team of 6 proofreaders and ladies who'd been at a long time former teachers of English Literature and ect, who hated me as I'd find mistakes they missed, and boy they'd get mad at me, and all I could say was I just read it over before stretching the stencil over the ink barrel, cuz it'd be a shame to have to start stencil to finished report and the studies have glaring mistakes, I was just looking after all of you, and they'd buy it, I really didn't want to have to increase my own workload and repeat the job, some of these reports seemed to go on foreverfrom hal inch thick to a full inch thick, and one tiny mistake and well you know, straw broke the camels' back is that it? I like Freiburger's and no, I don't dislike Claudio A' stuff.
lol that trumpet player is playing all the virtuose things of the world on a baroque trumpet which is even more difficult and this guy just plays like nothing is going on.... respect to the max
That trumpeter is awesome! The valveless trumpet (note: it is not a "natural" trumpet-the latter can only play the harmonic progression, whereas the instrument he is playing has finger holes to allow some alteration to the natural progression) is without a doubt one of the most devilishly difficult instruments to play well. That this man can so accurately play Bach speaks volumes about his ability and relentless pursuit of perfection. By the way, the rest of the orchestra ain't shabby. Really enjoyed this performance.
I had to play a trumpet similar to this (although in D and therefore longer) for university, and at the time I kept saying "it's like wrestling a bear". This dude's instrument is way shorter and pitched higher - therefore his bear was much more powerful than mine. This guy is an absolute monster! And just look at that embouchure! He plays like it's the easiest thing on earth
I think it is still considered a natural trumpet in F. The finger holes are tiny vents that permit the natural tones to be played more in tune. The unvented natural trumpet's tones would never be exactly in tune and the vents are an attempt at making minor corrections to natural tuning discrepancies.
This is possibly one of the most amazing performances of all time. The concerto is freakishly hard, and very few could even perform it in Bach's day. Friedman Immer on keyed trumpet WOW! Hats way off!
This is what real GANGSTA looks like ! I used to anticipate a nice hour of William F. Buckley Jr. as these grand notes would come rushing into the room...
I always wondered if Bach came from somewhere out of earth and was a blessing by god and a present for human beings, it's just that his music is too beautiful.
I wouldn't go so far as to say all THAT, now. When sick, we need our medicine. Yes, Bach's music is heavenly, but let's NOT carry it to the extreme!!! Okay?
That's not merely a "trumpet", it's a valveless natural trumpet, also called a "Baroque trumpet". Has a very characteristic sound for Baroque music, but it predates the valved horn, and thus is EXTREMELY difficult to play fast. The embouchure alone takes years to master, which is why the horn player here is the only guy sitting as still as a rock. He needs to concentrate and avoid moving his head and messing up his embouchure.
One correction: NATURAL trumpets (which were what was actually used in baroque times) have no vent holes to adjust the pitch which this trumpet has. BAROQUE trumpets (which are actually a modern invention meant for playing baroque music) DO have vent holes to adjust pitch
I actually really appreciate the fact that's he's not dancing all over the stage like some of the others. I find all that very distracting. Of course, it's a bit difficult to dance when seated, although the cello player doesn't seem to have a problem with it. ;-)
fiddlinmacx to perform this music they have to „dance“ - it‘s part of playing baroque music of this kind correctly - it‘s dance music of that time..the dancing stresses the dynamics, but the trumpet player has to look on his breath.with dancing he would have no chance to play it perfectly, to hit the notes - the group is a total rolemodel how to play that music
That trumpet player is the best I have ever heard in my entire life. In fact the whole group is B3YOND SUPERB. The best in terms of interpretation and authenticity! This music has been supremely therapeutic during some dark times in my life. Thank you so very much for sharing it with us! Very soothing and uplifting.
Adding to your comment, this is the Hall where the concerts were premiered. These are instruments from that time tuned to the A frequency used when Bach was alive.
That is correct. Didnt they ro a number of tecordings at that facility? The Hall of Mirrors, right? Thank You for your input. As a full time professional.misician of 30+ years w/Master of Music degree in classical piano performance and post graduate studies in jazz and commercial music, Baroque Music History was a required course in the master's program. (Albeit I'm not proficient on the harpsichord by the wildest stretch of the imagination. It requires a COMPLETELY different technique/touch than the piano). However, the lady who.taught that class was/is a world class harpsichordist and an excellent teacher)! Needless to say, we learned from the get-go that authentic Baroque music ensembles perform on period instruments (instruments that were used at the time the piece was composed and that the tuning is about 40 cents lower (A 400-he tuning used at the time JS Bach was alive)than the standard tuning of today at A 440
This is the first selection of music on the Voyager spacecraft. The first... Four and a half billion years from now, when the sun exhausts its fuel and swells to engulf the earth, this expression will still be out there, traveling four and a half billion years...
I will forever love the build the entire piece to the counterpoint magic that is 1:36 (I am addicted to major 7's being used this way), also just now noticing the cool counterpoint that takes place in 1:52 as the scales in both directions have beautiful clashes (and the interesting presence of a b natural immediately after a bflat [taking place also in the earlier passage with B Flat Major 7 to e minor 7 (with a natural 5th)]), try the notes of the scales together yourself slowly (sure the perfect fifth of c and g is a bit odd but the rest has quite special stuff). This is an example of one reason I love music from this period so much. I've loved this recording for a long time.
Uplifting glorious and heart-warming music to raise one’s spirits in times of sadness and despair. Bach got it right and his music definitely appeals to the senses as few other composers have been able to achieve in such a spectacular way!!
Absolutely sublime! This is the kind of music that is the antidote to those moments of despair in an ever-changing and not so attractive world.Bach has achieved far more in three hundred years than anything that exists today by tapping into people’s innermost feelings with the result that we all feel better in ourselves after listening to his orchestral works!
Came here to help ease a panic attack :/ Halfway through this beautiful recital, I'm feeling much more at ease. Thank you J.S. Bach & these marvelous performers.
So much beautiful music to hear ..... so little time! As a trumpet player 40 years ago, the trumpet performance is beyond mere words .. probably the rest is too.
This was the first classical piece I heard that I actually liked as a young person. Still love it to this day, and this is a wonderful rendition of it.
VOICI des oeuvres que je connais par coeur. Je peux assurer n'avoir jamais entendu pareille et aussi belle interprétation de Brandebourgeois. Je suis bouleversée émue aux larmes Merci á ces artistes qui me comblent
In the first movement, it's so nice how each instrument dialogues with one another. It feels as if you were in the middle of a heated debate among the many voices
Listening to JS Bach is like touching the face of God. Fantastic performance and amazing players. I especially like the recorder player - she is very musical and has amazing control of her instrument. Best recorder player I have ever heard.
my god. how can a human mind even begin to create such a transcendental work. the complexity approaches a gestalt. i don't think bach was even human. and this assemblage is just brilliant.
This performance is really extraordinary - the mastery of the instruments, the thoughtful interpretation, the great ensemble playing. I don't know what to add except that the trumpet player's skill and artistry are mind blowing. I am happy that i came across this. I feel like I just heard this piece for the first time when I have actually heard it played well for decades.
It always scares me how well some trumpet players can sound while playing so high. I can get those high notes. Kind of... On good days. Well, that's why we live so long, to practice.
what is difficult is to make them clean for Bach music there are two very different sounds researched by trumpet player in uppon register, depending on if you are a band player or a classical player it isn't necessary harder or simpler, but it's a different work. I don't think that Friedemann Immer can play american stuff very loud, he could play the notes with his sound.
It is great to watch and hear a rendition of this wonderful piece on original instruments that don't drown out the recorder, which is what usually happens with modern instruments and larger ensembles and with conductors that don't know the dynamic range of the period instruments.
Agreed. I'm learning this on recorder, and with the amount of work that goes into this its a shame when it gets completely drowned out. Its so nice to actually hear the recorder this time.
Nobody has mentioned the sound equipment and capturin, but this is a remarkable capturin, for that there is no "room" sound, although the mics must be right far from the holes whenceout come the melodies. The tech crew deserves as much recognition. And how do they play in such perfect balance of volume? There's not no conductator is there?
The trumpet is awesome in two way. First He really mastered this special sort of trumpet and second he doesn't move, even if you watch on double speed.
Immer Friedmann is simply amazing, he plays like a God - the trumpet is simply so beautiful- Bravo Mr. Friedmann I wish to could hear more of you in other musical pieces
one of the best Bach interpretations I have heard. Really impressive. it is real 'concerto', the different instruments come out clearly against each other, still form a beautiful harmony.
Absolutely beautiful music from the MASTER composer J.S. Bach! The complexity of his music that weaves into distinct yet together chords of music is still wonderful to listen to well over 230 plus years later! My sincere compliments to the Freiburger Barockorchester and the EuroArtsChannel! A big warm DANKE from Texas!!!
We are glad that you've liked it! If you subscribe to our channel you'll get notified when the other Brandenburg Concertos will be published here on this channel.
I don’t think people understand how hard the trumpet part in this is. Professional players used to negotiate in their contracts that they’d never have to play this piece. And that’s with our modern trumpets. The soloist in this not only kills the Brandenburg, he plays it on baroque trumpet, which is many times more difficult than our modern trumpets. Bravo!
Danke für diese Aufnahme. Köthen ist meine Heimatstadt und wie oft habe ich im Spiegelsaal im Schloss selbst musiziert oder tolle Konzerte gehört. Und dann erklingt auch noch mein Liebligskonzert von Bach. Als Teilzeitmusiklehrer in Cottbus behandle ich grad Musikinstrumente und die Barockzeit und somit hoffe ich, mit dieser Aufnahme ein paar Kinder begeistern zu können. Viel Erfolg dem Freiburger Barockorchester!
Maybe try to explore classical music then. I hate this stigma around it. That it's boring and all that. Bach music is extraordinary. He is considered a God in music and I love playing his tricky fugues. Ppl that play Bach definetly deserve up most respect. As its not easy at all
Douglas Adams said it perfectly: Whatever new extremities of discovery or understanding we reach, we always seem to find the footsteps of Bach there already. When we see images of the strange mathematical beasts lurking at the heart of the natural world-fractal landscapes, the infinitely unfolding paisley whorls of the Mandelbrot Set, the Fibonacci series, which describes the pattern of leaves growing on the stem of a plant, the Strange Attractors that beat at the heart of chaos- it is always the dizzying, complex spirals of Bach that come to mind. Some people say that the mathematical complexity of Bach renders it unemotional. I think the opposite is true. As I listen to the interplay of parts in a piece of Bach polyphony, each individual strand of music gathers hold of a different feeling in my mind, and takes them on simultaneous interweaving rollercoasters of emotion. One part may be quietly singing to itself, another on an exhilarating rampage, another is sobbing in the corner, another dancing. Arguments break out, laughter, rage. Peace is restored. The parts can be utterly different, yet all belong indivisibly together. It’s as emotionally complex as a family. And now, as we discover that each individual mind is a family of different parts, all working separately but together to create the fleeting shimmers we call consciousness, it seems that once again, Bach was there before us. When you listen to the Fifth Brandenburg Concerto, you don’t need a musicologist to tell you that something new and different is happening. Even two and three quarter centuries after it actually was new, you can hear the unmistakable thrumming energy of a master at the height of his powers doing something wild and daring with absolute self-confidence. When Bach wrote it, he put himself at the harpsichord instead of the viola he more usually played in ensembles. It was a happy, productive time of his life when he was at last surrounded by some good musicians. The harpsichord traditionally played a supporting role in this kind of group, but not this time. Bach let rip. As you listen to the first movement, you hear something strange, new, and terrifying giving birth to itself. Or maybe it’s a giant engine, or even a great horse being prepared for a Herculean task, surrounded by (you can’t help jumbling metaphors when language tries to keep up with music) a flotilla of helpers fussing around it. You hear it ticking over, trotting having a little canter here and there, getting a bit frisky, and then taking a trial run as its helpers encourage it onward, keening with bated breath. It hauls itself back in again, does another quick circuit. . . and then the other instruments fall silent. It stands free and alone, pawing at the ground, breathing deeply, gathering its strength, trotting forward . . . And then it makes its move-running . . . hurtling. . .flying . . .climbing. . . clambering. . . pushing. . . panting. . . twisting. . . trashing . . .pounding at the ground . . . pounding . . . pounding . . . suddenly breaking away, running onward desperately, and then, with one last little unexpected step up in the bass, it’s home and free-the main tune charges in triumphantly and it’s all over bar the weeping and dancing (i.e., the second and third movements). The familiarity of the Brandenburgs should not blind us to their magnitude. I’m convinced that Bach is the greater genius who ever walked among us, and the Brandenburgs are what he wrote when he was happy.
We're glad you enjoy the concert! You can find in this link (goo.gl/6ztai5) a playlist with the Six Brandenburg Concertos performed by the Freiburger Barockorchester :)
9:06 the money shot begins, if you're a trumpet player. You have no idea how hard this is to play on a modern three valve trumpet. I don't imagine it's any easier on a valveless one.
The concerto is written for a 'clarino' or 'natural trumpet', without holes or valves. Neither the keyed trumpet nor the valved trumpet were invented at the time Bach composed the Concertos. Although the trumpeter moves the fingers of his right hand I can't see any holes in the tube.
J.D. Berends Nevertheless, it is a modern reproduction of a natural trumpet which will have small holes drilled for tuning purposes. This is done because intonation is more important than historical accuracy. There is a recording where soprano saxophone is used instead of trumpet because the trumpeter couldn't stay in tune with the ensemble. The tuning issues with a true natural trumpet make it undesirable for recordings.
The trumpet is built by Rainer Egger of Basel, Switzerland: www.eggerinstruments.ch/index.php/en/7-blog/97-new-baroque-trumpet-with-3-hole-system-from-friedemann-immer
Maybe never. Composers, including me, have to reach a level of superb power to make something this incredible! And that will be Bach’s level. He is the master of composing music!
I have listened to alot of music, but the 2nd movement is just unreal! The emotional serenity is just spectacular and beyond words. Johann Bach no doubt will always be the best composer to ever walked on earth
An investigation was done on this matter. They found that while kids in high school enjoyed playing classical music, it however was a bother to the other children AROUND the music students. Classical music is best kept out of general public schools, and kept in a special preparatory or School for the Arts type of environment, investigators found! Your thoughts?
Quelle beauté. Musicale bien sûr, mais, c'est aussi très bien filmé. Cela met en valeur les intervention. C'est une musique difficile d'accès. Il faut beaucoup d'écoute. Mais quelle joie et plaisir de voir tant de facilités. Merci à tous ces musiciens.
I love how this is the first earth song aliens will hear on earths golden album, spinning into the vastness of space like the piece itself spins around and around in that baroque way
Will we ever have to send an "S.O.S." out there, and just hope, someone or something or whatsoever will just happenchance to find it floating around out there in the vastness of the universe? Hmmmm?
I asked my sister Rowena (co-principal 'cello, New Philharmonia) if she didn't get fed up playing nothing but quavers in Baroque continuo parts. "Not a bit!" she replied: "don't forget, we sometimes get TWO SEMIQUAVERS (!!!)" (tiddle-om pom pom pom POM") at the end of a section!."

I'm a trumpeter, and I'm proud to say that after years of playing the trumpet and months of working on this piece, I can finally play the andante.
But are you as unphased as he is?

It reminds of descriptions of Bach at the organ.
Modern trumpet players will be crying.
I think Johann would cry tears of joy to hear his music played so beautiful and with such love. I imagine him walking in and feeling amazed at how his work survived this long. It is timeless.
I believe Bach was a blessing to the whole world, through his music, even after death, he brings joy to all the nations.

This is so nice , Bach really had a fantastic imagination in music to create this feeling
One of my favourite moments ever conceived in music, just that little theme repeating throughout this piece
I believe alot of what Bach composed was used in today s music, that's why Bach's music sounds so modern 😊

The finger holes do not change the harmonic progression, but rather allow for fixing the intonation to be more in line with equal temperament.

Yes! In fact, I'm regularly moved to tears by the perfection found in all of Bach's music. He is truly the most stupendous miracle in all of music.
YOU MEAN BORED TO TEARS! HAHAHAHA,
nah just kidding it's great im just playing
Yes! When you hear the sewage spewed out by the White House, sitting down to listen to this will bring uncontrollable tears to your eyes.
Bach makes me cry all the time. Every day.
Joseph Pepper no politics, lets enjoy ths music !
Absolutely sublime! This is the kind of music that is the antidote to those moments of despair in an ever-changing and not so attractive world.Bach has achieved far more in three hundred years than anything that exists today by tapping into people’s innermost feelings with the result that we all feel better in ourselves after listening to his orchestral works!
Came here to help ease a panic attack :/ Halfway through this beautiful recital, I'm feeling much more at ease. Thank you J.S. Bach & these marvelous performers.
this eases my panic attack as well
So much beautiful music to hear ..... so little time! As a trumpet player 40 years ago, the trumpet performance is beyond mere words .. probably the rest is too.
This was the first classical piece I heard that I actually liked as a young person. Still love it to this day, and this is a wonderful rendition of it.
Same exact thing happened to me! 55 years later, it is still mi favorite piece of music ever!
VOICI des oeuvres que je connais par coeur. Je peux assurer n'avoir jamais entendu pareille et aussi belle interprétation de Brandebourgeois. Je suis bouleversée émue aux larmes Merci á ces artistes qui me comblent
It is so beautiful and it gives you happiness and energy to continue in this crazy world
In the first movement, it's so nice how each instrument dialogues with one another. It feels as if you were in the middle of a heated debate among the many voices
Classical music is NOT dead!!! Nearly 2 million views this video has, in the Pop and Rock n' roll era. That's a lot of views.
This has long been a favorite of mine and it's nice to see this live performance.
Bach is unconditionally great, and the performance of the Freiburger Barockorchester is fantastic. Thank you EuroArtsChannel for sharing.
+Wagner Polveiro You're very welcome!
Listening to JS Bach is like touching the face of God. Fantastic performance and amazing players. I especially like the recorder player - she is very musical and has amazing control of her instrument. Best recorder player I have ever heard.
my god. how can a human mind even begin to create such a transcendental work. the complexity approaches a gestalt. i don't think bach was even human. and this assemblage is just brilliant.
This performance is really extraordinary - the mastery of the instruments, the thoughtful interpretation, the great ensemble playing. I don't know what to add except that the trumpet player's skill and artistry are mind blowing. I am happy that i came across this. I feel like I just heard this piece for the first time when I have actually heard it played well for decades.

Was für eine meisterhafte Performance eines Meisterwerkes!
It always scares me how well some trumpet players can sound while playing so high. I can get those high notes. Kind of... On good days. Well, that's why we live so long, to practice.
Danny45635 I would suggest he was high, but I suspect not. The majesty of Bach, his precision, his humanity, appeals when I am high
Perfection?
what is difficult is to make them clean for Bach music
there are two very different sounds researched by trumpet player in uppon register, depending on if you are a band player or a classical player
it isn't necessary harder or simpler, but it's a different work. I don't think that Friedemann Immer can play american stuff very loud, he could play the notes with his sound.
It is great to watch and hear a rendition of this wonderful piece on original instruments that don't drown out the recorder, which is what usually happens with modern instruments and larger ensembles and with conductors that don't know the dynamic range of the period instruments.
Agreed. I'm learning this on recorder, and with the amount of work that goes into this its a shame when it gets completely drowned out. Its so nice to actually hear the recorder this time.
Nobody has mentioned the sound equipment and capturin, but this is a remarkable capturin, for that there is no "room" sound, although the mics must be right far from the holes whenceout come the melodies. The tech crew deserves as much recognition. And how do they play in such perfect balance of volume? There's not no conductator is there?
Video is relatively simple. Audio is hard and very easy to mess up. Right mic. Right placement. Right mix. VERY LITTLE room for error.
very old still a hit for all the ages to come
eternal beauty
I’ve loved “Classical” music my whole life. I was introduced by age 5 or so. Truly a gift from GOD.
Congratulations, Brian. 😊🎼
The trumpet is awesome in two way. First He really mastered this special sort of trumpet and second he doesn't move, even if you watch on double speed.
I learned this on viola (my first string instrument) in 6th grade. one of my favorite songs to play since
Immer Friedmann is simply amazing, he plays like a God - the trumpet is simply so beautiful- Bravo Mr. Friedmann I wish to could hear more of you in other musical pieces
This piece shows the varied genius of J.S. Bach !
one of the best Bach interpretations I have heard. Really impressive. it is real 'concerto', the different instruments come out clearly against each other, still form a beautiful harmony.
BACH = ART & SCIENCE
Absolutely beautiful music from the MASTER composer J.S. Bach! The complexity of his music that weaves into distinct yet together chords of music is still wonderful to listen to well over 230 plus years later! My sincere compliments to the Freiburger Barockorchester and the EuroArtsChannel! A big warm DANKE from Texas!!!
i was heard this piece 40years ago at that time i v heard stuttgart chamber one this piece is warm and beauty thanks for share to me
We are glad that you've liked it! If you subscribe to our channel you'll get notified when the other Brandenburg Concertos will be published here on this channel.

What a joy it must be to practice and learn this music.
You really can't get any better than Bach.
He's the beginning and finality of music. They still use (steal?) his structures, harmonies and melodies
My music to take to a deserted island
I just love adding great music to my collection. Thanks to all participants including J. S. Bach.
A thousand years from now, mankind may truly look back at this Bach concerto and say "At the 3:18 mark, God himself intervened." Heavenly!!!
avevo male alle orecchie.ora sto bene.questa musica e meglio di un medicinale.sono incantato da questo suono magico.
i got the dvd, never have i ever spent money more wisely in my entire fucking life
this is absolutely soul-lifting
You too? Makes me remember when I was 12 years old cause I got that DVD for my birthday gift^^
To put it simply, absolutely beautiful!
Incredible, best I have ever heard this piece played
I don’t think people understand how hard the trumpet part in this is. Professional players used to negotiate in their contracts that they’d never have to play this piece. And that’s with our modern trumpets. The soloist in this not only kills the Brandenburg, he plays it on baroque trumpet, which is many times more difficult than our modern trumpets. Bravo!
Wow!!!
Wow!!!
Handel e Bach ...gênios !! O tempo só faz melhorar suas melodias
I love that oboe! It’s so natural with all that wood! Man, I applaud you all!
Danke für diese Aufnahme. Köthen ist meine Heimatstadt und wie oft habe ich im Spiegelsaal im Schloss selbst musiziert oder tolle Konzerte gehört. Und dann erklingt auch noch mein Liebligskonzert von Bach. Als Teilzeitmusiklehrer in Cottbus behandle ich grad Musikinstrumente und die Barockzeit und somit hoffe ich, mit dieser Aufnahme ein paar Kinder begeistern zu können. Viel Erfolg dem Freiburger Barockorchester!
THE BEST PIECE OF MUSIC EVER WRITTEN!!!
Here for my school work from home... i just wanna listen to music i like ;-;
Maybe try to explore classical music then. I hate this stigma around it. That it's boring and all that. Bach music is extraordinary. He is considered a God in music and I love playing his tricky fugues. Ppl that play Bach definetly deserve up most respect. As its not easy at all
Douglas Adams said it perfectly:
Whatever new extremities of discovery or understanding we reach, we always seem to find the footsteps of Bach there already. When we see images of the strange mathematical beasts lurking at the heart of the natural world-fractal landscapes, the infinitely unfolding paisley whorls of the Mandelbrot Set, the Fibonacci series, which describes the pattern of leaves growing on the stem of a plant, the Strange Attractors that beat at the heart of chaos- it is always the dizzying, complex spirals of Bach that come to mind.
Some people say that the mathematical complexity of Bach renders it unemotional. I think the opposite is true. As I listen to the interplay of parts in a piece of Bach polyphony, each individual strand of music gathers hold of a different feeling in my mind, and takes them on simultaneous interweaving rollercoasters of emotion. One part may be quietly singing to
itself, another on an exhilarating rampage, another is sobbing in the corner, another dancing. Arguments break out, laughter, rage. Peace is restored. The parts can be utterly different, yet all belong indivisibly together. It’s as emotionally complex as a family.
And now, as we discover that each individual mind is a family of different parts, all working separately but together to create the fleeting shimmers we call consciousness, it seems that once again, Bach was there before us.
When you listen to the Fifth Brandenburg Concerto, you don’t need a musicologist to tell you that something new and different is happening. Even two and three quarter centuries after it actually was new, you can hear the unmistakable thrumming energy of a master at the height of his powers doing something wild and daring with absolute self-confidence. When Bach wrote it, he put himself at the harpsichord instead of the viola he more usually played in ensembles. It was a happy, productive time of his life when he was at last surrounded by some good musicians. The harpsichord traditionally played a supporting role in this kind of group, but not this time. Bach let rip.
As you listen to the first movement, you hear something strange, new, and terrifying giving birth to itself. Or maybe it’s a giant engine, or even a great horse being prepared for a Herculean task, surrounded by (you can’t help jumbling metaphors when language tries to keep up with music) a flotilla of helpers fussing around it. You hear it ticking over, trotting having a little canter here and there, getting a bit frisky, and then taking a trial run as its helpers encourage it onward, keening with bated breath. It hauls itself back in again, does another quick circuit. . . and then the other instruments fall silent. It stands free and alone, pawing at the ground, breathing deeply, gathering its strength, trotting forward . . .
And then it makes its move-running . . . hurtling. . .flying . . .climbing. . . clambering. . . pushing. . . panting. . . twisting. . . trashing . . .pounding at the ground . . . pounding . . . pounding . . . suddenly breaking away, running onward desperately, and then, with one last little unexpected step up in the bass, it’s home and free-the main tune charges in triumphantly and it’s all over bar the weeping and dancing (i.e., the second and third movements).
The familiarity of the Brandenburgs should not blind us to their magnitude. I’m convinced that Bach is the greater genius who ever walked among us, and the Brandenburgs are what he wrote when he was happy.
This is magnificent, and quickly added to my list of liked videos.
We're glad you enjoy the concert! You can find in this link (goo.gl/6ztai5) a playlist with the Six Brandenburg Concertos performed by the Freiburger Barockorchester :)
A stunning piece of music performed flawlessly by these wonderful musicians!
9:06 the money shot begins, if you're a trumpet player. You have no idea how hard this is to play on a modern three valve trumpet. I don't imagine it's any easier on a valveless one.
Probably shouldnt be playing this on anything other than a baroque or piccolo trumpet which usually has 4 valves haha
valved cornet and period instruments. beautiful.
God our Maker, Who inspired Bach to create this, bless every one of you
AMEN
Thank you. God bless you too.
That there fidlar has a fluid touchin. The trumpets are played so clearly and enunciated so crisply. And the recorders are so tuneful.
someone here because of school too?
yes
yeah
no everyone bro
Yessssss
Ye damn I have to answer questions
Came here from history of the United States, by the Great Courses. Love it!
What? What are you even talking about, man???
Trumpeter sits like a boss. And by all means he is.
Right? What type of trumpet is that? No valves and just holes I guess? The 2 women on the woodwinds were going crazy too haha
The concerto is written for a 'clarino' or 'natural trumpet', without holes or valves. Neither the keyed trumpet nor the valved trumpet were invented at the time Bach composed the Concertos. Although the trumpeter moves the fingers of his right hand I can't see any holes in the tube.
There are holes that he covers and uncovers to adjust the tuning of the note being played.
J.D. Berends Nevertheless, it is a modern reproduction of a natural trumpet which will have small holes drilled for tuning purposes. This is done because intonation is more important than historical accuracy. There is a recording where soprano saxophone is used instead of trumpet because the trumpeter couldn't stay in tune with the ensemble. The tuning issues with a true natural trumpet make it undesirable for recordings.
The trumpet is built by Rainer Egger of Basel, Switzerland:

Quite simply the best piece of music ever written!
Who’s here watching during this pandemic??👀
I am!
:-)
Me too!
everyone from now on
Me
Wind players were GETTING IT. Such talent! Bravo.
The andante is incredible. How is posible to someone to compose like this?
Maybe never. Composers, including me, have to reach a level of superb power to make something this incredible! And that will be Bach’s level. He is the master of composing music!
My favorite part
Bach was a gift to humanity from God.
I have listened to alot of music, but the 2nd movement is just unreal! The emotional serenity is just spectacular and beyond words. Johann Bach no doubt will always be the best composer to ever walked on earth
this song is number 5 on the record we sent into space. it follows after "the sounds of earth". this song is out of this world..
Man.... that was an amazing recording.
This may be the most awesome thing I've ever seen on CZcams. Stunning.
wow this crew rolls deep
That trumpeter is a genius truly! An angel from the sky
that trumpet performer though... wowwwwww
This is the most dignified recorder playing I have ever seen
So wunderbar! It was like listening to musical painting.
I feel lucky to have had musical education in high school.
An investigation was done on this matter. They found that while kids in high school enjoyed playing classical music, it however was a bother to the other children AROUND the music students. Classical music is best kept out of general public schools, and kept in a special preparatory or School for the Arts type of environment, investigators found! Your thoughts?
Bravo! Applause! Brilliant. Wonderful. Thanks lots.👏👏👏👏👏👏
It makes me feel like I am sharing Dinner or Lunch with the Great Elector of Brandenburg himself!
Yeah, I can dig it, baby; I can dig it!!! Enjoy your lunch with the Elector.
Quelle beauté. Musicale bien sûr, mais, c'est aussi très bien filmé. Cela met en valeur les intervention. C'est une musique difficile d'accès. Il faut beaucoup d'écoute. Mais quelle joie et plaisir de voir tant de facilités.
Merci à tous ces musiciens.
I love how this is the first earth song aliens will hear on earths golden album, spinning into the vastness of space like the piece itself spins around and around in that baroque way
At any rate, we launched them just the same
Will we ever have to send an "S.O.S." out there, and just hope, someone or something or whatsoever will just happenchance to find it floating around out there in the vastness of the universe? Hmmmm?

I asked my sister Rowena (co-principal 'cello, New Philharmonia) if she didn't get fed up playing nothing but quavers in Baroque continuo parts. "Not a bit!" she replied: "don't forget, we sometimes get TWO SEMIQUAVERS (!!!)" (tiddle-om pom pom pom POM") at the end of a section!."
I have to admit, I cheer for the oboe usually, but this time, the trumpeteer deserves the cheering!!
Siete una bella squadra, complimenti continuate così. Veri musicisti x vera musica x pochi intenditori.
