- In the 'Brandenburg' Concerto No. 4 in G major, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, Bach is continually misleading us. Which instruments are the real soloists? Initially, the lead is taken by the two recorders, but later it appears that the violin is the soloist. After the next refrain, the two recorders take over again, but they are soon trumped by the violin, which steals the show in a whirlwind of dizzying notes. And so it continues.
Recorded on May 19th 2015 at Felix Meritis, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB or consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

For those who don't know about the story behind Bach's Brandenburg concertos. In 1721, Bach composed six “concertos for various instruments”. He dedicated them to a German nobleman and sent the manuscript as a gift, hoping to land a job as the court composer in Brandenburg. The nobleman never replied. Bach eventually took another job in Leipzig, where he lived for the rest of his life. Bach had send his original and there were no copies. The 6 concertos were lost for 130 years. They were never performed. The manuscript was eventually sold for about $20 and shelved in a library. The Brandenburg Concertos sat there until 1849, when they were discovered and published for the first time. Thank god.
caroline, I am sorry for my inadequate English. Quote: "They were never performed." I have seen this statement many times during the years, but do you know the evidence for the statement?

that is just simply crazy, I had no idea!
@@handavid6421 Yes, I was really surprised when I found out!
@Alice Ling26 I agree. 6 beautiful concertos and apparently 3 more pieces but I don't remember which.
It’s odd to think that the Brandenburg Concertos went from essentially being forgotten and stuffed into a junk drawer for over a century to being fired into deep space as an example of the best that humanity has to offer.
... Incontrovertible proof that devolution is a real phenomenon.
It’s always all coincidence.
Ah yes on the Voyager interstellar record.
For real !?!?! woow, and now they are so famous, I coudnt imagine having to miss Bach superb music like these beautiful pieces.
Who knows, in our lifetime we might find some more hidden works of Bach and people like Mozart. I would LOVE that.
Yes, the fact that almost nobody realized what an incredible genius Bach was in his lifetime has always puzzled me.
Hey kids!
What luxurious sound! The quality of this recording is unbelievable. There does not seem to be any clipping of the frequency extremes. The performance is vigorous, lively, and unforgettable.
Absolutely !!!....I Concur 100%......
Indubitably
Clipping, no, but it sounds 'washed' to me, and it is produced well enough I could toss that up to the room instead of a tech. The lead violinist is incredible, but he's conducting, and that steals something from the acoustic delivery.
That lead violinist is INCREDIBLE !!!
Apparently he likes what he is doing. Rare thing indeed.
His name is Shunske Sato, he is the leader of the Netherlands Bach Society, he's indeed a very good violinist, I recommend to listen his interpretation of the Bach's violin sonata no.3 and partita no.2.
You should listen to their Vivaldi's four seasons, if you haven't yet. Totally refreshing rendition, top notch. Haven't heard any better version yet. czcams.com/video/0FP9N2SbWn4/video.html
Absolutely amazing!!!!!
I've heard this played by many different ensembles and this is the best version of this solo I have ever heard. I used to teach this solo on guitar so I know every note and this knocked my socks clean off!
@2:45 I find that episode one of the most intriguing in the whole repertoire of Baroque music... it is the most sublime duet exchange between two solo instruments when suddenly we get a suspended note from the other soloist and suddenly the explosion of energy from the violin like we've never heard before. Then those dissonant intervals between the recordings! Truly an exceptional composition.
It is the violin's way of reminding the recorders that they are not mates LOL.
For almost 15 minutes: I was on a different planet!!
Sato has got such a passion for Bach's music it really comes across.
And probably the determination of an elephant, as well. He appears to be very experienced.
Anyone who says perfection doesn't exist must have forgotten about Bach 💖😄 this is pure perfection 🤌
These performances by the Netherlands Bach Society are the greatest renditions of Bach's music I've ever experienced.
Agreed
The version with Arthur Davison and the Virtuosi of London with David Munrow and John Turner on the recorders are electrifying.
Maravilloso...se trasmite la alegria y hace evidente la genialidad
I would argue that the violinist takes a little too much liberty with the rubato. Rubato is fine...but the extent to which he does it is...exaggerated
No. All the exaggerated rubato is annoying to me.
0:07 Allegro
6:41 Andante
10:20 Presto
you should pin this comment so that it always appears at the top of this section thus easy to find when looking for the different movement time tags
Andante
Please post Brandenburg 1,2,3 as 4,5,6 are already up I don’t know what the circumstances are in Netherlands but I’m sure you could do it sometime soon ?

Air la mas Bonita
The Netherlands Bach-Sato enterprise is always a feast to our ears and senses...
I love their energy. I always see that especially between the strings in these recordings, how they look at each other for cues and communication throughout the piece. I love when you're performing with people like this and you have so much fun while doing so. You can tell that's what's going on here.
One of the most beautiful masterpiece ever composed for the recorder. The music of angels standing in front of God. Thanks to NBS for this amazing performance!
Heard so many times before, but never ever had I heard THIS luminous and vital Brandenburg concerto before... What a group of lively and enlivened musicians for All of Bach! Sato and the Netherlands Bach Society revitalize this beautiful opus with such magic, vitality and gusto like a novel creation that at the same time lifts you from the ground and grounds you while the soul twirls in utter joy ...Gracias...
Bravo to the engineers as well, fabulous recording and mixing.
Als die Menschen so arbeiteten, dass mehr Zeit als nötig für Essen, Schlafen und Reinigen übrig blieb, sie mehr Zeit für Muße, Erholung, Spiel und Spaß hatten, befreit vom Einerlei und von der Knechterei, da langweilten sie sich.
Aus der Langeweile, die so nötig wie die Bequemlichkeit ist, entstanden die wundervollsten, atemberaubensten und sinnenverklärensten Dinge. Musik, Kunst, Tanz, Architektur, Wissenschaft, Mathematik und alle Kultur.
Heute arbeiten die Leute, weil sie es nicht besser wissen, sie haben kaum Zeit für all die Dinge hinter der Langeweile, sie betäuben sich mit Konserven aus Elektrokisten.
Danke an Netherlands Bach Society! Sie zeigen uns immer wieder das Wunder, wenn Menschen im Gleichklang und Harmonie gemeinsam Wunder erschaffen.
This is my favourite of the Brandenburg Concertos .Music doesn’t get any better. This is everything. Every emotion. Even the ones we don’t have words for. Truly spellbinding! Thank you Netherlands Bach Society.
My favorite Brandenburg Concerto, just a perfect performance 🥰❤️❤️🥂🍾
What an extraordinary performance! What a great ensamble! Just beauty everywhere. The concertmaster is a genius with all the music in his head. Thanks so much!
Bravo Bach. Bravo Sato. Bravo recordists! Bravo NBS! Love you all! ❤️🎻🎼🎵🎶👏☘️🇮🇪
this is why sato is my favorite baroque violinist! i always love his interpretations and his phrasing too.
So so so special. Sato, hats off and you are just terrific. I love the flauto dolce players. I love it all. Top rendition
yes... as I mentioned in another post, the best Bach channel with the most refined interpretations available! Fantastic! :-D
So perfect... I started to tear a bit during the last movement. Violinist SHUNSKE SATO is phenomenal ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I always have the impression of a few talented friends enjoying their music together ❤
Bravi! The best.
The recorders duet and Sato san's marvelous solo. The dialogue between the recorders and the violin! So alive!
2:55 Nailed it😉
I'm glad you didn't say that about the crucifixus of the Mass in B minor.
@@frenchimp HAHAHA
Incredibly well done. Flawless
15 notes per second
Como se diria lá no morro: bateu certo!
Sato is an incredible musician, violinist and lider.
12:03 is such an emotional part for me; not only is it insane as hell and easily one of the most virtuosic moments in history, it remains emotional and dramatic at the same time and that violinist {I'll be doing more research on him!} portrayed Bach's genius very well.
This is a performance I will return to again and again. Time for me to donate again to this life-enhancing project.
Remarkable and outstanding performance that brings fresh insight into Bach's great masterpiece. Applause for the whole joyful, interconnected ensemble and especially for the virtuoso Shunske Sato. Thank you for sharing!
Simply PERFECT!
Interpretation, sound and video recording, musical and video direction....
For sure you made Johann Sebastian (and all his friends) so happy in heaven, where he is now.
Shunsuke Sato is a true master.
Bach, Bach and Bach forever!! He is...Er ist unser Vater Johann Sebastian Bach. And the best Father play by Nederlands Bach Society. Grandi tutti. Sato excellent as well as all of you. THANK YOU!! Dank u, heel erg bedankt!
1:53 Hey Kids
YES
Two amazing alto recorder players! They manage sounding above the orchestra.
Gorgeous interpretation. The rubato phrasing of the violinist in the first movement is pure gold. And the dynamics build and recede to match the melodic flow. Full of passion throughout.
I absolutely love Sato’s interpretation of the piece it’s one of my favourites! I’ve actually been invited back to my old school to perform this piece and it’s next week! Not playing it as fast as Sato tho cuz my fingers just can’t move that fast lol. Hopefully it goes well!
i just love the recorders in this piece ♥
Would you know the name of the recorder player beside Heiko ter Schegget?
@@exildocBenny Aghassi
What a breathtaking, vigorous rendition! I really appreciated it. Congrats!
Hi - I'm Robert from the UK - in the early 1970s I was part of a student ensemble which played this piece in a charity concert at St Mary's College, Strawberry Hill, Twickenham - I played first recorder (nowhere near as fast as this wonderful band) and it was one of the musical highlights of my life (now aged 73) - Bach is a continuing obsession in my dotage - I am trying to get to grips with the Art of Fugue - for any other Bach obsessives out there, please listen and watch the video of this by the wonderful Netherlands group - it is so beautiful and inspiring
Absolutely magnificent. This is one of my favorite performances by the Society.
another stunning performance. the precision and all-together as well as the feeling and liveliness are amazing. I think I need to plan a trip to hear you perform live.
See you in the Netherlands, sir!!
This relaxing classical piece is like a soothing balm for the soul. 🎶✨ Close your eyes, let the music wrap around you, and feel the stress melt away. Pure serenity! 🌙💫
I love Bach and they play it beautifully....all of them perfect and Sato the best
Bach's music is of love..never tires,never gets old....Channelled from God..perennial as the grass!
The violinist is fantastic!!! I love his vital playing!
Ur parents really named after a pasta
Utterly superb. I've heard this movement played many times, on period instruments and otherwise, and this is fantastic.
Love it. Always coming back to this performance. Perfection and lightness.
De hoofd violist is echt zo zo zo goed, ik kijk al jaren naar jullie. Ben echt GROOT fan van Bach, maar vooral van jullie uitvoeringen. Echt het beste wat ik ooit gehoord heb. Mijn droom is ook om eens een concert van jullie bij te mogen wonen van Bach. met dezelfde hoofd violist. Wat is deze man onwijs goed, hij is meesterlijk !!!
Great performance! As a recorder player myself, I had to laugh when I saw Sato make that smirk 2:45 going like: "Sweet little solo guys!" and then he goes mental on his part haha.
That being said the recorder part is played beautifully and is pretty challenging at a speed like this.
In 1952 at Manchester University I played this with Jolyon Dodson one of the recorders. The Alderley Edge Gazette wrote that we "played with exquisite sweetness..." I was so proud!
I never listen to Bach from any other performers nowadays. It is always The Netherlands Bach Society for me.
Me too!
There are other fine performances of Bach works by other period instrument performers. You can hear them on CZcams.
이렇게 완벽하고 멋지고 조화로운 연주를 집에서 편하게 들을수 있다니 좋은 세상이고 감사한 일이네요!!!
Stunning performance! Breathtaking, wonderful sound and balance of instruments. Helluva tempo!
Magnifique interprétation par des musiciens exceptionnels, tout particulièrement le Premier Violon : superbe !
A gift to the world! Absolutely phenomenal.
The syncopation in the Allegro is soooo very before its time...for that time. I love it. The clarity of the Andante's phrasing is superb.
Just discovered this and OMG! What a find! I have students studying this piece for their iGCSE this year, so what a brilliant way for them to access it - with the visuals of the ensemble and period instruments. An excellent, excellent and wonderful performance! Thank you so much for sharing!
6:09 was beautiful, different ornamentation from other performances ive seen, but was perfect and added a unique colour to it all woo!
You are a third of the way to being the next JSB judging by your name. I am glad you also enjoyed the peformance of your almost namesake!
@@georgealderson4424 thank you haha! Blessings
What a privilege it is to view these sublime performances for free. A thousand thanks to everyone involved!
What an incredible interpretation! Hard to find anything better.
Thank you so much, nbs
simply delightful - mesmerising - I couldn't take my eyes from you all - such respect for JSB - thank you so much!
5:23 Everyone dies when Satou-sama give them that lovely smile..
Omg cant believe they made a sam onella tribute
Hey kids.
My favorites of all of Bach's concertos. Brandenburg no. 3 & no. 4. Love this violinists way of playing the solos.. Gorgeous
I often wonder if Bach heard his works played with such perfection. After all, the population was much smaller, musical instruments economically were not within the reach of most of the general public, and so naturally the talent pool to draw from must have been much smaller than today.
This approaches one voice per part. Very nice treatment.
I found myself cheering Mr. Sato on during his solo on the third movement. Really sweet treatment!!
So much joy! I didn't expect I'd love as much the violinist's tempo changes and apparent liberties (this from a non musician)
Thank you, sato !
An INCREDIBLE Virtuoso Ensemble, Without Peer On This Planet !!!....
Awesome best classical music channel on youtube. Thank you!!
Aldous Huxley’s - ‘Island’ brought me here.
Happy to be here and read everyone’s more passionately knowledgeable comments of the quality of this piece.
This is life in sounds. Never heard such an interpretetion
I hope everyone can experience life with such jollity either now or in the future
An stunning dream... you all are the best!
Congratulations!!!
Me tienen enamorado la violoncellista y el violinista, que toca la parte solística. Que músicos más maravillosos. Y todo el conjunto: fabulosos.
This is just so, so beautiful!
Probably my favorite brandenburg concerto, I love the back and forth between the violin and recorders in the first movement! 😊
La più bella esecuzione del Concerto Brandeburghese n° 4 che io abbia mai sentita.
Após passar a pandemia irei celebrar a vida bebendo uma vinho especial ouvindo esse concerto maravilhoso. Ubuntu. ...
Espera de modo confortable, son 2 annos
DANKE für diese wunderbare Interpretation! Gefällt mir sehr - als Kollegin noch mehr ;-)
It starts so alegro but then it suddenly moves forward, amazing peace of perfection.
¡Muchas gracias!. Los conciertos de Branderburgo son maravillosos ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful and gorgeous song.
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you all.

Me waiting for the stickman to say "Hey kids!" and then talk about some random obscure topic
視線を合わせ、息を合わせ、見事なアンサンブルでした。演奏者1人1人に出番があるバッハの音楽の楽しさよ。リコーダーも見事にノンビブラート。バッハ当時の楽器と演奏法を駆使しながら、天を駆けるがごとく自由で現代的な演奏でした。ブラボー。
Il Signor Sato è proprio un virtuoso. Bel suono complessivo e buona verve nell'insieme.
The best music never dies...
Absolutely incredible performance. Wow.
Impresionante violín! Todos Bravísimo. Mil gracias
Fantastic feeling and playing!!!!
Excellent rendition, thank you
This rendition is exquisitely alive.
Sato is a great master, and all are the best!!
Netherlands Bach Society is getting me through a tough breakup. Dank je wel, Netherlands Bach Society!
Such an amazing performance!!
Hey kids
Fantastic, thank you~
