1. thank you for making this publicly available for free and with no ads. everyone on youtube monetizes everything. so thank you for standing out. 2. incredible performance. life long bach lover and obviously have a catalogue of most of his compositions. i grew up in vienna and my father was a musician in a major viennese orchestra. i am not sure i have experienced a more finely tuned, elegant and authentic performance of this piece than this version. just such depth of of feeling. and 3. indeed, what a breathtaking composition. how can someone have come up with music like this? otherworldly. again, thank you!

Sorry for my inadequate English. All those wonderful ornaments we don't find in the score, 1:07-08 and 5:25, top class! Ornaments as a musical expression are more important then ever before because in our days we have access to the music all day long. Therefore it is important to give the listeners different performances. H.I.P H.I.P. H.I .P. Hurrah!

They are playing off lines, taking the end of a phrase and then transforming it.

@bigfan2710 6 жыл бұрын

Great music. Great performers. Its interesting in that they play very differently (ornamentation by Podger, hardly any by Blumenstock) but this does not affect the way they allow their musical lines to flow between one another.

Most satisfying! What's the tuning of the violone?

@michaelhealy7322 4 жыл бұрын

Does anybody know if Bach ever used this as an aria, with an alto or countertenor taking the lead violin part? I’ve listened to the entirety of the sacred cantatas, but not all the secular ones. If he didn’t, he should’ve.

@inesdeerausquin5658 2 жыл бұрын

The variability of the range would make it almost impossible; and both violins take turns with the long notes and the faster ones, so it would be quite a feat to sing. I can't deny it would be just as gorgeous in voices though!

The position of the musicians is the way music was performed in the 18th century. So, this recreates the original performance. The position of the keyboard player and the soloists allows all the musicians to play together without a conductor. At a music festival, there are often several concerts in a row. There was only 30 minutes to run in, place the mics and cameras. There was no time to, for example, hang the mics from the ceiling. The position of the mics does, however, give a very good sound. So, good sound, historical performance. That's what we do.
