J'adore cette sonate, surtout le presto final. Merci aux interprètes.
Buxtehude's counterpoint is such a delight; no wonder Mr Bach walked many miles to hear him play the organ! This is a rare treat to hear the Viola da Gamba and the Violone together like this - and the continuo harpsichord is (for me at least) - just right :)
OMG I love your instruments! this is so beautiful, congratulations!
Sublime - beautifully played - a pure joy! Well done!!
excellent performance - optimum sound balance!
btw, a nice contribution that the composer no more will be so underestimated, what a treasure of chamber music...
Too beautiful! So perfect. 😍🥰
Go Jan Zahourek!
bckm54: I don't think it's the violone, but possibly the fact that the stand is very low that could be affecting his need to lean forward to see it. That allows the audience to see the instrument and hands better, though, so it's a hard choice to make.
Wonderful combination!
Superb
Wonderful!
Lovely!
Is curious, the music sounds bad with the modern times, we have more noise than harmonius sounds. I like this antique music.
Or perhaps the genius of people cannot be made to wait a decade in training to make music that will influence many. Guitar and piano are far easier instruments to learn, as are electronic instruments. Creativity wise music has gone leaps and bounds to provide people with the ability to talk about their hard feelings. What you call “noise” they call truth, based on blues and worker’s songs.
Next time you make a comment like this remember in the Renaissance these instruments were once called “noise” and commoner’s toys and true class came from an Organ from which church and religion could be spread. Thank god the Greeks and Latin culture came back after several centuries of church oppression and overrule.
But to be honest I am a cellist. I’ve taken 10 years of my life in short burst every few days to keep practicing, and what occurs to me now is that those blues and folk elements in modern music cannot be trumped by classical in anyway. No, classical must work on the pretext of pushing extreme limits of how much you can incorporate compositional techniques like fugue, canon, counterpoint and structure and “slide under table” into what appears to be a pop song. Some people do that slightly without knowledge of doing it; metal namely. Gordon Lightfoot is a brilliant example of a folk artist who makes songs using what he knows vs technical understanding of the instruments he’s played.
Your lack of knowledge on history, especially the medieval and renaissance era and on organology and musicology come through when you make statements like: "Thank god the Greeks and Latin culture came back after several centuries of church oppression and overrule."
@@topsecret1837 not to be a scrooge here, but viols were common in churches, hence the English settings of chants using cantus firmus for consort. It is Violins specifically that were forbidden, owing to their folk association and origin from the less musically complex vielles and Rebecs, which were often far less intricate instruments than their viol counterparts.
very nice
Sounds nice !

I wonder how this would sound with cello, double bass, and piano
+Shining Armor: Heavier, for a start. I wonder too.
technically, it is a cello and bass, just the distant cousins that are very old.
Richtofën Very different though(well actually not to much)
violin de gamba and violone are pretty weirdly different, though i'd love to play the violone one day
Toxic Cat Viola da Gamba is decidedly not the same thing as a cello. It's closer to being a bowed guitar, having six strings tuned in fourths and a third, as well as frets.
:)
This viola da gamba has a beautiful sound but this vilolone does not look like the same sound quality
BazzTriton thats the sound of the violone. He played it really well. Its just the sound of low gut strings
For what it is worth, I agree with thegroove: Zahourek seems to me to play the violone rather well: even if it is "only" a violone in G, obtaining such a response requires a rather strong and well conducted bow grip. OTOH, the gamba player seems to me a bit too meek: too little grip and occasionally too much bow. Also attacks and articulations are too monotonous...
@@MaurizioMGavioli, good that you put the only in quotation marks. The Violone in G was the instrument Bach had in mind for the solo as libitum Bass in his cantatas where we mostly, and weirdly, use the baroque cello today.
Actually it's more complex, if Bach calls for a cello he meant the Viola da Spalla. The baroque cello played between the legs was more played in Southern Europe but was one rather unimportant instrument among many.
We tend to forget about the marvelous continuo bass instruments they used like citterns, or even the colascione with a brighter sound. Even compared to the Bassoon the colascione has more sound and is even more distinguishable in a location with bad acoustics.
looks like that violone makes the player use terrible posture. it's good that the sound is worth it! :)
Con todo respeto digo: desanifados y muchos yerros. No pude terminarlo, perdón...
