- Bach arranged various Vivaldi concertos for organ and harpsichord. The Concerto in A minor, performed by Siebe Henstra, Menno van Delft, Pieter-Jan Belder and Tineke Steenbrink for All of Bach, is largely based on Vivaldi's Concerto in B minor for four violins and orchestra. But of course, he gave it an exciting twist, as in Bach’s version the soloists play harpsichords and B minor changed to A minor.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on April 16th 2016 at Ottone, Utrecht. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB or consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

@@HarpsichordVinylGallery Excellent idea. Perhaps a bit harsh when referring to a CZcams channel which is doing a great service to humanity. There may even be a reason that they don't do this.
But top-notch idea. Thanks for bringing it up, and I trust NBS will consider it.
@@brandtnightingale9163 You are right I have adopted the language at bit and I did see they already pinned the timetable so it stays the top comment.
Faking; can't you tell!
@@kentjohnson8602 Please explain?
Can we all just take a moment and appreciate the Bach Society for making this happen. 4 harpsichords in one place and all tuned at once! Not to mention the musicians to man them. We are fortunate to be alive in this time period.
I remember back at the 70’s when they didn’t have enough harpsichords, so they had to get a neupert harpsichord in one of the recordings of this piece.
The tuning! 🥰😍🤩
In addition to all that, we lucky that we can simply click and watch this wonderful recording! Gratis!
"And all tuned". Yes, as anyone who owns one can attest, "and tuned".
I agree!!
The original of this was written in Venice by Vivaldi for 4 VIOLINS and string orchestra.
A few years later, Bach got hold of a copy of Vivaldi's Concerto for 4 violins & Orchesta and ARRANGED it so he (Bach) and three of his sons could play it, substituting HARSICHORDS for Violins. To do so he had to compose a lefthand part for each of the harpsichords.
The Bachs played this Arrangement of Vivaldi's Cto at Zimmermann's Koffee Haus in Leipzig.
Bach was the Director of Music for Leipzig for the four principal Lutheran Churches at the time. He moonlighted as Director of the Collegium Musicum (Friends of Music), a group that played weekly at Zimmermann's.
the Bach's were all the man.
Thanks for such concise information. It helps me with an understanding of the music and its time.
Thank you for the information
I can certainly hear Vivaldi's influence. In fact, it somehow sounds like the Allegro of Vivaldi's Autumn.
No wonder they both died on July 28, (1741 Vivaldi) (1750 Bach)
On occasions like this I regret that I can't give more than one thumbs up.
Bravo to the sound engineer for not letting the accompanying strings drown out the harpsichords!
Vivaldi to Bach: Hey John, I´ve just finished a concerto for 4 violins! Bach: Tony, hold my beer, please.
Love your sense of humor!!
LOL!
juaaaaaaaaaaaaajajajajajajajajajaja (hahaha in english...) :)
Their first names 💀
Hahahahaha! Bach sure was a beer swilling guy! Perfect! I'll bet Vivaldi would have joined him! Beer or wine. You know how those red priests are.
Vivaldi and Bach: 2 unsurpassable pinnacles of classical music. And Bach arranging Vivaldi concertos! Fabulous,
awe-inspiring, extraterrestrial music of unfathomable intellectual depth.
Listened 100 times in my first encounter.
A masterpiece of digital legacy for generations to come.
Bravo, Netherlands Bach Society!

It's probably partly high quality recording gear...but my goodness that bassist can play. Her tone is so rich and distinct, and her volume control is spot on. She pops in with extra oomph just when she needs to, then calms it back down seamlessly. Backbone of the whole orchestra right there.
Dancing bass
Could not have said it better. Such an amazing performance and recording..

C'est top.
Has she got fret inlays? I've never seen them before on a double bass, although I'm pretty new to the instrument.

It is a delight to see four professionals playing harpsichords on one stage... well done!

I can’t believe this doesn’t have even two million views as I’ve watched it myself a few times and as a classical pianist since my childhood, recognize the immense organization and logistics that went into this production.

Bach BWV 1065, after Vivaldi.
Viva Vivaldi ❤️
The entire ensemble absolutely shreds this but the 4 harpsichordists are just goddamned sublime. What a piece.
Everyone: How many harpsichords do you need for a concerto?
NBS: Yes.
The four harpsichord players are evenly performing and attentive to every note and section. The harmony between the string instruments and the harpsichords conveys the intensity of expression and emphasis on contrast and balance. The composition radiates finesse, dynamics and a beautiful lyrical melody. A big plus to the terrific camera engineers and the sound mix is perfect. The Netherlands Bach Society are always outstanding in its performances.
The music is ecstasy, the musicians deserve much admiration and gratitude is due in spades to the Netherlands Bach Society for making this free to the world.
The Harpsichord - the most beautiful sounding instrument ever devised. I have Bach’s Harpsichord Concertos, but sadly when I listen to my Classical music station they always play piano versions. No comparison.
Totally agree! This piece on piano is just wrong.
Ironically enough bach was partially responsible for ensuring the success of the piano by testing and composing for its antecedent: the Fortepiano.
This is a very rare situation indeed. I want to say, in fact, probably a "once in a lifetime opportunity"to witness something like this. Especially in America where haprdichord music seems to be a dying art (at least in the middle part of the country). Here in Colorado, I was privileged by getting to witness this twice within a week. This piece, alongside many more including a piece composed by one the harpsichordists playing in these concerts: Fugue in E for four harpsichords was performed! I was not one of the musicians performing in these events, however. I was one of MANY volunteers tasked with moving and shuttling these majestic instruments between the the performance venues and the homes of the people they belong to. And yes, LOTS of tuning involved. It was worth every bit of time involved!!
Heavy Metal of the time, just raw emotion and pin point accuracy.
The Genius of Vivaldi as interpreted by the magnificence of JS Bach. A wonderful end to this dreadful year from the NBS. THANK YOU all ever so much for making this last year more bearable by your CZcams posts, and to all the very many people, like me, from all around the world whose comments have enhanced my enjoyment of this channel.
To you all, wherever in the world you may be. A joyous, much happier 2021 from Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
(and PLEASE can we have the Masses in G Minor and F major on CZcams this next year?)
I completely agree with you. Best wishes for 2021from Valencia (Spain)
...and from Ankara, Turkey
It's still amazing to me that I can have the same reaction to a recording as someone halfway around the world from me. NBS has changed my life. Greetings from (the very dry, but very beautiful) Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Best wishes from Atlanta, Georgia, USA!
and Finland...
Oh, my God, I died and went to heaven. Those enchanting harpsichords....Happy belated birthday, Johann...
To have so much beauty in so much complexity ... only Bach is capable of achieving this.
There isn't a month goes by that I don't bring this up and play it yet again. It is sublime! And kudos to the 4 harpsichord players who do such a masterful job. Thank you all!
Vivaldi + Bach transcription + world class virtuossi = the best happy new year I I could possibly have wished for. Happy New Year to one and all !
Happy 2021

My two Budgies approves. They start to chirp away as soon as I put on this concerto. They should know as they are a species 50 million years old and are in fact living dinosaurs. ? They also like slow jazz 🤩
I feel the appropriate response is to silently cry in a mixture of amazement and appreciation...
One of my favourite Bach works. Just a brilliant transcription of Vivaldi and yet it still sounds like Bach.
In Bach’s huge output there is a portion where Bach’s approach/style overlaps with Vivaldi.
Bach can be very lively at times😄
The aerial view of the 4 harpsichords is gorgeous!! & from 4:54 on for the next minute is like a great contemporary score for a film. Love it! Thank you NBS! :-)
Came here to say the same thing. Reminded me of Philip Glass, but with fewer repeats. Also the overhead shot brings to mind Reich's Four Organs... czcams.com/video/w0yTZmMgI5I/video.html
@@nino805 I think both Glass and Reich have said to have Bach as an inspiration/admiration, especially Glass.
Extreme high quality both in the production of the video but of course also marvelous performance by the Society. I have a special admiration for ensembles that understand how valuable a platform like a CZcams channel can be for millions of people, the fact that we get to listen and watch this for free whenever we want would've been unthinkable just 40 years ago.
Indeed, especially in this very special situation. It feel lovely and blessed❤️
Such a rich and exciting blessing it is!!! Their very spirited well- played music is simply gorgeous!
Just some thoughts, I've always enjoy listening to classic music, but CZcams seems to be compressing the audio bitrate in every videos to around 128kbps AAC or 160kbps OPUS. As many already knew, 128kbps or 160kbps aren't enough for detailed music. Though CZcams's video guideline suggests uploaded video should have the audio quality set to at least 512kbps (which is a pretty good audio quality, balancing between minor music details and the size of the audio), what we hear afterwards will still be restricted to 128kbps and 160kbps.
To be honest, CZcams's audio quality is completely okay for most music. Their compressing technique is very good many wouldn't be able to distinguish it between lossless file, but not for classical music, as higher bitrate does makes differences. Each instrument sounds different, and higher bitrate allows us to distinguish them and thus also makes each music piece be unique from each other.
It will be better if Netherlands Bach Society can simultaneously upload their original recorded audio file to some places such as SoundCloud etc which accept lossless audio files such as .flac.
Please don't start a war below please. This is just my grumble when listening to good music.
Nothing like listening to a live performance.
Yeah I thought it was just me going deaf. It sounds not very good. I mean the playing is fantastic, instruments top notch obviously, but something is definitely missing.
Yes, it was quite muddy, and the other orchestral instruments--all or mostly modern--drown out the harpsichords.
I’m so envious of the audience
People who do not at least have respect for this are idiots
Браво! Музыка заставила замереть, душа поднялась на крыльях вверх, а потом я заплакала чисто и светло.

So beautiful! It gives a whole sense to the world. This Concerto in A minor BWV 1065 is one of my favourites. It is steady and also flows like the air we breathe. Makes my soul come alive again every time I hear its magnificence.
0:52 is just magical absolutely magical
😍omg yes
This is wonderful. Have you seen the children, listening? WOW! Thank you so much!
I love seeing young children in the audience completely captivated by the music. There is hope for the future! Happy New Year!
Yeah I think old Music like for example by Bach is the only genre that will always be listened to, because it's just so emotional and definitely the opposite of boring.
@@spitzwegayrich7837 Only if it is played in a musical and interesting manner, such as the players in this video do. I would say, most classically trained musicians in the US don’t play Bach this way, so a lot of people deem it boring.
@@ViolettaViolinist Yeah but I thought that's for sure, cuz I come from southwest of Germany, where old Music is particularly just so well promoted and I love that!
@@spitzwegayrich7837 I wish to visit Germany someday and get immersed in that culture. You are very fortunate.
@@ViolettaViolinist Yeah I probably am, sadly there is the Corona out there, which means we can't really make music😔
One "thumbs-up" button click is not enough to express my gratitude for offering this excellent performance of this excellent adaptation by Bach of the Vivaldi masterpiece. Bravo! and many thanks!
Thank you NBS for posting this ad-free!
Father Vivaldi, priest of the Holy Roman Church, and Bach, the Lutheran. What an ecumenical treat!
it's wonderful to see how music transcends religion and politics!
that part starting at 4:50 always sends chills down my neck.
This unique feeling that Bach gives gives goosebumps. absolutely impressive!
A transcendent passage, Bach opens a portal to the divine, and I feel like all the musicians here know that when they are playing the section
This is my favorite part too
ME TOO. Having breakfast alone on boat listening, and started to shiver a SOB. Most exquisite music ever penned.
This actually sounds like 4 computers calculating and translating the divine nature language of the universe into music
This is simply celestial! God blessed the world with the life of Johan Sebastian Bach!
This is Vivaldi
This is from vivaldi
@@tomascostero9962 Indeed, it was transcribed by Bach for harpsichord.
There is a line from the recent movie “Tar“, in which a minority student tells the music teacher the JSB is just an old white guy whose music doesn’t resonate. I am not a musician. But I can appreciate the exquisite beauty of this concerto. That someone, even in fiction, dismisses Bach because of his age, race and color is deeply depressing. Great music transcends.
Danke, danke für die wunderbare Musik, die in diesen dunklen Zeiten Trost und begründete Hoffnung verbreitet!
La música es la medicina del alma amigo...
Wonderful Bach 💕 and great great unique performance on the 4 harpsichords.

Just what I was thinking. I am an artist so.....
@@janethaagenstad8380 so?...
@@ExtremeObservations So…… What’s your point?
What
@@sm30405 Huh?
This is Bach's beautiful transcription of Vivaldi's 10th concerto in the L'Estro Armonico set, originally written for four violins, and it is a tribute by one great composer to another. Bach also transcribed the Vivaldi concerto Grosso for two violins and cello (L'Estro Armonico number 11) for the organ alone, which is an even more magnificent arrangement. These are my two favorite baroque concertos.
I really like it how they use Baroque Period Violins Bows, it sounds so much more like baroque. I love this pece.
They use period instruments and historically informed techniques too, this is basically as close as possible to how it would have sounded when it was first written.
Yeah, that's why I love Netherlands Bach Society
Musician here. The reason these are called baroque setups is because the violins have so shoulder rests and or check rests. One effect of the bow is that at the tip, the sound is a lot less vibrant, witch was desired in the baroque period. I happen to play on a modernized barouque violin Andre around 1755. It is amazing how these instruments are still around
How is it that these players get everything so right?! The balance, clarity, excitement; it is just superb. Bravo and thank you 🙏
This unique feeling that Bach gives gives goosebumps. absolutely impressive!
Yr after yr voted greatest composer of all time. (Mozart and Beethoven tie for 2nd place.)
@@alpinoalpini3849 I know, I'm just talking about Bach's Arrangement. i love vvivaldi too
evet dogru
Something about this music, when I herd it the first time, it sent chills down my spine. I just listened and ignored the video, wow! those beautiful happy notes, the violin coming in between and the harpsichords playing their complex and playful music, the cello. Humans can achieve this? Wow!. I'm not a musician, I'm quite lame, I called the harpsichord a piano till now. After "Chanson- Etude - Op 10, No 3" which brought back nostalgia, this is the first piece that touched me. What a wonderful day we live in when we can hear such music!. I type this with a bit of tears in my eyes for this brought me cheer in a busy and tiresome life.
That's Vivaldi for you
This unique feeling that Bach gives gives goosebumps. absolutely impressive!

@@alaaobaid3363 I knew. I just wanted to tell you how Bach arranged the harpsichord

That is so enjoyable many thanks to the Netherlands Bach society for making this happen. Amazing musicians, excellent interpretations.
So incredibly powerful the wind from Venice was that even reached Him at Eisenach.
Ah yes. This piece is one example of the relationship Bach and Vivaldi had. They were born in the same year, though.
Beautifully put!

Remarkable work by both the musicians and the sound engineers. This isn’t easy to record so clearly in a room like that.
Ich liebe dieses Instrument.Wunderbar gespielt
This belongs in an audiophile's reference collection. The performance of all is equaled by the engineering used to capture. The clarity, dynamics and spacial separation really give the listener the best seat in the huis. In search of comparison, I went next listened to BWV 1063 (recorded in a stage-based setting) and this piece (1065) is truly brilliant. Bedankt!🎧👼🎧
My goodness how wonderful this music is it touches the one's soul.
I thought it's all Vivaldi till now.
Bach, Vivaldi: they both proved that ordinary humans can fluently speak to the angels; one mostly used the piano, one the violin
❤❤❤
its a Vivaldi work
its a Vivaldi work
Yeah, it's ABSOLUTELY a Vivaldi work , I guess Bach loses some honour and respect if you make him be perceived as a PLAGIARIST 😢😢😢
Just bought the score today. I have always loved this piece for its many lines and joyful simplicity. I still remember the first time at age 15 over the radio. Bach must have loved it too to 'borrow' it from Vivaldi and give it his treatment. Such great sound on this video, bravo!
Incredible music and playing. I loved it. Thank you Netherlands Bach Society. (Getting four harpsichords into one hall and in tune at the same time was also quite an achievement.)
The part at 1:39 makes the violins sound like woodwinds! At least for the first few notes.
Wonderful Bach and performance!!
For more Bach Vivaldi marvels, pls try the concerto in A-minor for 4 harpsichords by the Netherlands Bach society.
What a privilege it is to see these wonderfully talented musicians, in particular the harpsichordists playing so well together. Thank you
What a privilege to attend this great and original musical event in a virtual way in tribute to master Bach!
J. S. Bach interpreting a piece composed by his master... Truly a powerful sensation, to know those two minds have clashed together in music, with such magnificence and perpetual remembrance.
That was brilliant, and they are profusely talented. Well done indeed. I so enjoyed that, I forgot the whole world for nearly 10 minutes and fouced on just this music.
Потрясающе. Прекрасоно сыграно. Спасибооооо
That was really cool…wonder if Bach ever heard it played like this in his lifetime….
Bravo. These talented musicians did justice to Bach. Excellent rendition. The harpsichords are magnificent.
