In March of 1721, Johann Sebastian Bach meticulously inked six of his best concertos into a book for the Margrave of Brandenburg, Christian Ludwig. This original score is one of the great treasures of the 18th century. The original title, "Six Concerts à plusieurs instruments" is now known as the "Brandenburg" Concertos in English or "Brandenburgische Konzerte" in German. The sixth concerto features both the baroque viola and the viola da gamba (Concerto 6to à due Viole da Braccio, due Viole da Gamba, Violoncello, Violone e Cembalo).
These concertos in style, quality, diversity and originality represent the summa of chamber music in the high baroque period.
Brandenburg VI is at once the most innovative in terms of scoring and the more brilliant in terms of pure contrapuntal artistry of the set of six. Though not as popular as the lively 2nd and 3rd concertos, it is nonetheless an absolute masterpiece. The dazzling opening stretto, with the fugue subjects separated by the flick of a cat's paw, is followed by a lyrical slow movement that uses inversion of the theme to create both countersubject and episodes. Despite the ingenuity of the design, the counterpoint never intrudes on the steadily unfolding lyricism of the upper parts. The rollicking, relentless syncopation of the finale is leavened by a playful, conversational interchange between the viola parts.
This video is part of the Voices of Music Great Works project. A Creative Commons edition of the score, based on the composer's manuscript, will be published to accompany the complete recording, and the recording will be available worldwide on Blu-Ray and CD, and for free on MP3 and high-definition, 24 bit FLAC files.

For Twoset fans, this is what an ensemble can achieve with violas and without violins. 😂
Well I have to admit that the composer was a demigod though. 😍
I assume the Twoset don't have the listening experience to appreciate this kind of performance anyway!
If I need to pick a video of a piece to share witrh colleagues or students, but don't have time to preview it myself, Voices of Music always has me covered. I can ALWAYS trust that their version will be played flawlessly, beautifully, and with historical authenticity. I really do love you people. Your passion, and dedication to the music is second to none. That combined with highly skilled and talented musicians keeps me coming back again, and again, and again. Oh, and did I mention that your individual personalities shine through in some moments in a very endearing way?
Thanks so much, stay safe!
@Graham Butler i'm totally agree with you !
@@VoicesofMusic The usual instrumentation is: two viole da braccio, two viole da gamba, cello, violone, and harpsichord. Why did you delete the harpsichord?
Hmmmmm... Sorry, it's in the back!
:)
As a violist, I feel blessed with your interpretation. Bravo 👏
Same here. You put my playing to shame.
I'm still not used to see a lot viola da gambas in an orchestra. But this is really beautiful and majestic
I love Voices of Music.
I want to visit there at least once in my lifetime
:)
Me, too, on both counts. I live in the North Bay, but without a vehicle, I can't make it into the city. Bummer! I've lived here for 10 years, known about VoM for at least 7, and have yet to see them live, there is nothing like live performance.
Fully agreed!
Save me a seat, I’ll bring the popcorn 😎
The best Brandenburg ♥️ no violins, but 2 violas ♥️♥️
This interpretation made me cry.
Thank you so much for the wonderful preformance.
Thanks for listening!
The cellist really tore it up.
you mean to perform or compete with great success ?
Such beautiful orchestration. It's always refreshing to watch these.
Just Some Guy without a Mustache
Hi! I didn't expect to see you here.
Linear flow, independent instruments, outstanding performance. True Bach.. Bravo!
Thank you.
Voices of Music are the best! Their no drama authenticity is so, I don't know, transformative, lovely, respectful of composer, wonderful.
Brandenburg is one of my all time favorite pieces ever written😍
I am a big fan of Voices of Music. It was so brilliant performance. Thank you so much for sharing this music.
Our pleasure!
Bach!!!! Un genio!!! Maestro del barroco..bellisimoo bravo.....😍😉
México.....
Thank you... Saludos desde mexico...
thank you.
Among the six Brandeburg concerti this one's my favorite. Surprisingly the tempi chosen fits my heatbeat and make me feel comfortable listening to, unlike with other versions. Thank you
Yes, a masterpiece. This is the music which is always fresh. And inspiring. Greetings from Poland.
Thank you very much!
Great job Voices of Music musicians, you make soooooo many people happy with your wonderful playing :)
Thank you so much!
Agreed.
I realise that I'm well over four years late to this performance - but these wonderfully skilled and dedicated musicians never cease to amaze and uplift my spirit! Thank you all, so much. 🇺🇦
Thank you very much!
Beautiful tot of Brandy... just what's needed on a dull, grey morning 😀
Cheers!
Wonderful ensemble work! Bravo Bach! Thanks for uploading. ❤️🎻🎼🎵🎶👏☘️🇮🇪
Oh brilliant! This is the work that turned me into a baroque fanatic 5 decades ago. (I learned the gamba and eventually played in this work.) Love the liveliness and togetherness you seem to have. Please tell the cellist that I think I am in love (even though I'm a gamba player). What a treasure she is. Drives that music along beautifully. I wish I could contribute but apparently I can't from where I am. All the best!
Thanks so much, we will pass the message along. You can donate from virtually anywhere, if you are so inclined, but it's totally fine just to listen voicesofmusic.org/donate.html
She's simply super cute...
She has such drive and momentum and passion for her art :)
It's actually Elizabeth who's driving.
It is always a privilege to listen to excellent music played by you, precious to me Voices of Music!
Die Rache der Bratschen!🤭
Ich glaube Bach hätte seine helle Freude.
Bravo!
So far I have only been able to enjoy your performances through your CZcams offerings though I live just 35 miles away. VoM is such a treat! We simply can't have you wither away due to this health crisis. I'm glad to have been able to make a small donation. If I could only win the lottery!
Brandenburg № 6 is one of my favorites. All of them are great, but ... I don't know, there us something extra about № 6 for me. Perhaps it's the lack of the violins. I don't know. It's just wonderful so I'm really looking forward to this tonight. In a word, YIPPEE!
See you tonight!
Exquisite. Heavenly. It made me cry.
Your music and your interpretation are so precious...thanks, and kisses from France. Merci encore 🤗🎻
Thanks for posting such beauty, made my morning, you are my fav CA baroque group, humble donation made from a musician in Brooklyn, NY

An outstanding piece of music done brilliantly, thanks 😊
Really beautiful. Just really beautiful music!
Thank you
Lovely! Wonderful playing, thank you so much for sharing with us all, so we can fly for a bit.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just love it!!!! 👍👍👍👍 The violists and cellist play with such passion and power!! Writing as an amateur violinist here. I can play Brandenburg 2 & 3 by heart.
A wonderful and illuminating performance of Bach, I am so privileged to say this was my favorite of 2020.
Thank you.
What i like most about these performers is how earnest they appear in their performance. It's not arrogant and overdone. The movement seems to augment the music. Well done.
¡¡¡¡¡¡A very charming and wonderful piece of music I really love it, love it and love it!!!!!!!!!
and many thanks ! voor de bijgevoegde tekst en uitleg.
This is a ripping great piece of music and you guys really "bring it home" in the third movement. Your performance simply swings!
Thank you.
Köszönöm a föltöltést!
Nagyon szívesen.
Cracking tempo, really makes the piece dance. Thanks as usual for great music making.
Many thanks!
hier heb ik zelfs niet op durven hopen.....deze Bach en met jullie ! heel ongebruikelijk maar zelfs 'n beetje tranen. Wat een pronkstuk van de Componist en van Jullie die het zó uitvoeren !
Virtueel omhels ik iedereen tot ik 7-voudig hoor ' ja, zó is het wel genoeg hoor !
Veel dank ! ! Roefie
Just fabulous, as always!
Thank you!
This and Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 have always been among my favourite J.S. Bach pieces. Thank you for bringing peace and beauty to us.
Dan Abnormal
What about the other Brandenburg concertos?
Dan Abnormal - Right on. This and number four are my two go-to's. Of course, they are all six SUPERB.
_"Peace and beauty."_ Yes. That's exactly what this is. =]
What a moving rendition of Bach's emotion. The second movement, Adagio(?), was particularly striking, and brought a tear to my eye when the viola on the left gently chimed in to her viola colleague to her left, and and to the cello, with such a delicate touch of Wehmut (melancholy) that a German soul cannot refrain from being touched by the Master's eloquence of depth of feeling that make him the composer that all subsequent successors looked to for inspiration. Thank you for a performance that touches the heart.
Thank you for your comment. I was emotionally moved.. so true. Bach, the greatest human wonder of all times
Just absolutely beautifully played. You guys are truly amazing 😍 Loved the Allegro, you kept the rhythm moving and lively.
Thank you so much!
I love VOM! Glad to add my small donation and will continue to do so.
Thank you so much! Stay safe.
Fantastic! I've never seen it performed live.
Thanks Glen :)
🌷🌷💐🌷🌷 Great job guys, I love your work. 🌷🌷💐🌷🌷
Amazing... as always!
Thank you!
This is a great performance!!
The best version. All the Brandenburg Concerts are well interpreted with the more skilled and synced musicians, and the best quality of sound! Thank you, and congratulations!!
Wow, thank you!
What an absolute wonderful conversation that all these musicians are having with each other. A conversation written down by a guy 300
years ago
Lovely, lovely, lovely! Vigorous, beautifully balanced, perfect transitions--thoroughly satisfying. What a robust sound from "second" violist Blumenstock. Everyone having so much fun!
Many thanks!
I love to see artist at work or play. Marvelous, absolutely a joy to watch. Oh, how I miss A Prairie Home Companion.
Superb performance! Bravo! (As always)
Thanks for listening!
WOH!!! Wonderful to listen it with original instrument!!! Thanks a lot to share this awesome sound with us!!!
Glad you like it!

When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest; the universal language of mankind.
Nice! 💐🎉🎶🎶🎶
Thanks for listening
