    The Kuijken Ensemble, made up of the three Belgian Kuijken brothers on flute, violin and viola da gamba and the harpsichordist Robert Kohnen count among the most distinguished of all present-day early-music specialists. They have long since branched out into conducting and other far-reaching ways of propagating authentic Baroque style. But they are each masters of a different set of instruments, so their occasional reunions for concerts become genuine occasions. With The Musical Offering, played here in a rigorously reduced scoring, they demonstrate their great flair for style and their long-standing experience and although they don’t look at all alike, their shared musical heritage is audible. Bach’s late masterpiece ‘The Musical Offering’ (1747) is a musical homage written on the occasion of Bach’s visit to King Frederick the Great of Prussia in Potsdam.

    I particularly liked this rendering of Musikalisches Opfer. It is clean, open, one can see the unbelievably complex structure of the fugues, canons and trio sonata with a clarity rarely achieved in other versions. This does not mean that the work loses its complexity and deep mystery, the root of its depth. Douglas Hofstadter comments regarding this work in his book Gödel, Escher, Bach; his analysis is worth reading. Musikalisches Opfer is a mathematics treatise, besides being some of the most complex music ever written.Its beauty is not easy to grasp, it results from its perfeciion and complexity. Thanks EuroArtsChannel and Kuijken Ensemble.

      @@Galdring Thanks for your answer. Douglas Hofstadter changed my life I read his monthly columns replacing Martin Gardner's in the "Metamagical Themas" in Scientific American. I bought the book Gödel Escher Bach in a small book store in Beacon Hill (Boston) perhaps 40 years ago. After all these years I still do not fully understand Gödel theorem. Buy I certainly got a better approximation to the genius of Bach.

      I do think the music is beautiful and I love Bach. However, don't you think your comment is a bit bombastic and perhaps a misapprehension of music? Music is an art which is meant to communicate emotions and feelings which lie in the depths of the human soul. In the end, it is an abstract but spiritual affair. Mathematics has an entirely different purpose, and many try to conflate the two, which I think may stem from a superficial understanding of art and mathematics. But who am I to speak? Is there someone with both a PhD in mathematics and a Master's in music who would like to respond? It is a bit far-fetched (to me at least) to say that an algebraic topologist such as Allen Hatcher is doing the same thing as a composer such as Hans Zimmer.

      @@StewartMNash Stewart, thanks for your comment. I will, if you allow me, answer in "Shakespearean": "Stewart says Jorge is bombastic. If it were so, it is a grievous fault, and grievously shall Jorge answer for it". Now, "bombastic" is in itself a bombastic word, don't you agree? Perhaps "presumptuous" or "overstated" would do the job without offending. As to the mysterious relationship between music and mathematics, a relationship that is known to have been studied during classical Greece and possibly before, this is a difficult subject and the space we have in youtube is far too restrictive. I will be delighted to initiate such analysis in a more appropriate format. If I may suggest, for starters you could enjoy reading Douglas Hofstadter account of Bach, Friedrich and Musikalisches Opfer.

    Fredreich challenged Bach to improvise a 3 voice figue of the theme, which Bach did on the spot.
    Bach's son Carl Phillpe Emmanuel, was employed at Frederich's residence as a court musician and Friedrich invited Bach to come for a visit.
    Frederich then challenged Bach to compose a 6 voice figue from the same theme. Bach said no, that he would need more time to properly work out the musical score and would send it to him later on.

      @SomeHow Actually, music spanning across the Baroque period to modern-day contemporary music is all “classical music”. So, Bach is considered classical music, though he belongs to the Baroque period of classical music; on the other hand, composers like Haydn and Mozart are from the Classical period of classical music.

    As a late composition of Bach, not long before he died in 1750, I at 71, living six years past Bach's death at 65, think that the great Master is crying in this piece. It is profound musically, and so full of sorrow. The very theme is a dance of sorrow.

      I was given the 100 disc complete DG-Archiv box set. Astonishing! I knew that Richter was an extremely important name in Bach performances. Now I know why. He is a transitional figure between Romantic and overblown earlier performances and the painfully accurate and bloodless approach of today. So, he's not popular with either camp. But, wow! The thought and passion you hear in his recordings is thrilling. ☺

      The Musical Offering - along with the Art of Fugue - is the "deep end of the swimming pool" of Bach's works. It's not full of great and memorable tunes. It took me repeated listenings to get used to it. I'd never recommended it as an introduction to Bach. That would be like telling someone interested in fine whisky to hunt down a $795,000.00 bottle of Yamazaki the next time a bottle comes up at auction. 😬
