From the very first notes, it is clear that Bach wrote the Sonata for viola da gamba in D major, performed here by Mieneke van der Velden and Benjamin Alard for All of Bach, for a top-level gambist. The most likely candidate was the fourteen-year-old Carl Friedrich Abel, a promising gambist who went to study at the Thomasschule in Leipzig in 1737. Under Bach’s wing, he grew into an outstanding musician and composer. Although we cannot be certain, Carl Friedrich’s close ties with Bach and his great talent make him the ideal candidate performer of this sonata.

Her bowing restraint is phenomenal for such an emotional Bach piece. I don't know how that's learned..maybe through life! LOL I dunno., but I commend her playing 100%!!! Interesting basso continuo harpsi performance, nuanced and crisp. This duo is wonderfully attuned and connected to the spirit of baroque music and especially Bach. Such a nice interpretion, spirited and happy! Thanks!

@avataranadi Жыл бұрын

As a violist and violinist, I find this performance to be incredibly inspiring, this is perhaps the best bowing I have ever heard on any string instrument; the subtleties of dynamics and articulation are nothing short of mind blowing. The only two people who I know who approach this level on modern bows and in a modern repertoire are Michael Rabin and Steven isserlis.

The Allegro is masterful. I tend to measure any recording of the Gamba Sonatas by the 1028 allegro, and in general, I measure any recording of the 1028 allegro by the Puyana and Cervera recording. Your performance is the very best I've heard. As we say, you've touched all of the bases. The subtle rest for the harpsichord at 3:33 is perfect. Don't you think that this piece reflects JSB's intention to not only hallmark his genius, but also show the relevance of the VdG even at such a late date? My opinions are my own, of course, and I thank you for such a beautiful and soaring performance.

Bravi!!! for both of them: these specific 2 instruments sound great together, almost as one - as they should, because there is an immediate 'answer' or better - an echo between them, according to this composition. The great balance between the 2 musical roles is inherent in Bach's composition itself but also realized and performed (with good timing and sensitivity) by the 2 instrumentalists. I admit that around 14:30 (mm. 91-94 in the last Allegro) I was at first a little disappointed with the last bass-note of the descending figuration which sounded more dramatic in another performance of this composition, but after another thought I came to the conclusion that there is no need of sudden dramatic bass-notes towards the end of a perfectly balanced composition. Thanks for this great upload.

Unfortunately I think the recording engineer did not understand the nature of these sonatas. They are not viola da gamba sonatas with harpsichord accompaniment, they are written in 3 part counterpoint (just occasionally breaking out into 4 part), so it is very important to hear the harpsichord lines. In this recording they are often covered by the viol. They are definitely not on an equal footing as they should be.

@violjohn 5 жыл бұрын

Yes, I think you are right; the upper line of the harpsichord (and probably the lower) should be on an equal level with the gamba, not a "background" as they seem to be. I still like the performance very much, although it is perhaps a bit "cautious".

This exactly. There are sections where the left hand of the harpsichord is totally inaudible, this would have sounded very different in the actual concert hall.

Netherlands Bach Society Thanks for checking. I wasn’t suggesting that she played a wrong note, but rather that maybe the manuscript contained an error. I could be wrong, of course, but that note is just so jarring that I can’t imagine Bach intended it that way. Of course, I haven’t yet heard “Allofbach” so perhaps I’ve missed other such examples. :)

Out of curiosity, I listened to half a dozen versions of measure 11, and they were evenly split between playing it this way (G natural) and with G#. To my ear, it’s unbearable with G natural because the keyboard has just made a beautiful change to G# just half a beat beforehand.
