Bach turns things upside down in this 'Brandenburg' Concerto No. 6 in B-flat major, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach. Violins - usually the golden boys of the orchestra - are conspicuous by their absence! Instead, two violas play the leading role. As the highest parts, they ‘play first fiddle’ as soloists. supported by two viola da gambas and a double bass.

These Netherlands Bach Society recordings really are an extraordinary treasure trove. Absolutely everything about every one I've listened to/watched is excellent, from the overall concept of each performance to the details of camerawork and audio recording. The performers are clearly all at the top of their game and work together like a string quartet of 20 years' standing. Some of the finest music-making to have been committed to recording media, now or at any time in the last 120 years. I have already donated to the project and feel I will probably do so again.

I also noticed that around 02:00. It´s a grande rubato compared to the original pulse. It´s not the way to play Bach if you ask me and I can´t hear any musical benefits from it. It the most melodic part of the first movement so I guess that they wantet to make it last a little bit longer. But it totaly interrupts the musical flow. With Bach you can do just about anything between the beats but you got to keep a steady puls. At least thats my taste.

According to anecdotes, Bach loved to play the viola part in ensembles, so he could hear all the other parts flying around him...how I would loved to have witnessed him in this setting...Johann Viola Bach...what a frenzy of bliss. The modulations he wrote in the middle of the Adagio...so amazingly incredible, and played so well here. I swear the viola da gambist (I don't know her name, sorry) was ready to crack a "smile of sheer ecstasy" at countless points...especially in the final Allegro...and who can blame her?

I’ve been a fan of the Brandenburg Concertos for decades. I own several recordings of this works, among them I Musici, Musica Antonia Köln, Il Giardino Armonico, The Acadmy of San Martin in the Fields, La Petite Band, and many, many others, but my favorite one, which I also regard as insurmountable, is Trevor Pinnock conducting The English Concert. But now the fact of being able to watch the NBS ensamble playing one of my favorite works at a level I thought unimaginable makes me reconsider my view. NBS has achieved the level of the best Dutch, German, Italian and British baroque orchestras, and now NBS is on its way to surpass them all. How I wish to be at the audience during one of their recordings. NBS Do you plan to give a tour playing Bach’s music over the world?

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.

The so-called Brandenburg Concertos are merely minor updates to concertos composed for, or at least performed by, the virtuoso musicians of Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Coethen between 1717-1723, when Bach was the prince's capellmeister (music director). Some of these concertos may have been composed even earlier, when Bach was concertmeister to the co-reigning dukes of Weimar (1708-1717). #1 and #6 may date from Bach's Weimar period. There are at least 12 copies of earlier versions of #5, including a version with a much shorter cadenza. Bach even reused the Coethen wrapper when he sent the "Brandenburgs" to the Margrave of Brandenburg, who, unknown to Bach, did not have the resources to perform them, due to cuts in the music budget by the margrave's brother(?), the King in Prussia. One of the benefits of the dismissal of the Prussian capelle by the king was that Prince Leopold hired them to work for him in time for Bach to lead them. The notion that this music was lost until the Brandenburg's were "discovered" in a Prussian library in the mid-19th century is nonsense. There are other sources. Bach had copies and reused the music in his cantatas and a harpsichord concertos. E.g., the 1st movement of #1 appears as the Sinfonia of Cantata BWV 52, _Falsche Welt, dir trau ich nicht!_ first performed in Leipzig in 1726, years after Bach dedicated the "Brandenburgs." Around 1738, Bach arranged #4 for harpsichord solo, recorders I/II, violins I/II, viola, continuo (cello, violone). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5OJm9NquZ6rY6c.html

This is such a lyrical piece! One can hear each phrase in the music being almost sung by each instrument, sounding syllables in a very expressive language! For instance, listen to that lovely tune the viola da gamba plays starting 6:43! It sings with a Mixolydian quality to the melody. The third movement practically sounds like a lovely waltz between the two lead instruments.

I would love to hear this done with tenor violas in C major fingering, tuned to A = 415 ! THAT would be really interesting. As a former professional concert level violist, now retired, I can assure you that this piece is NOT easy!

Congratulations. That is a marvelous performance. The minimal retard at the end of the third movement perfectly framed the music. I once read that even if Brandenburg six was Bach’s only composition, it would place him with the greats. Your performance is the equal to such great music. Many thanks.

That's interesting - in the slow movement, the double bass is playing at written pitch instead of an octave lower (as normal). So it is in the same register as the cello. The parts are written so that the bass plays half notes (minims) while the cello is in quarter notes (crotchets) ornamenting the same line. Very unusual to hear those two voices overlapping each other instead of the usual octave apart. It lacks depth, but the effect is striking in a way since it moves in and out of unison. Actually, a bit hard to tell but the bass may also be taking much of the outer movements up the octave as well. It seems to be a small bass viol or violone with frets. Maybe Bach did not intend this violone part to be played an octave lower, as is the case with later contrabasso writing. In the very last bar of the final movement, the violone part is written an octave lower than the cello and descends to Bb below the bass clef staff, which is impossible (at pitch, much less an octave lower)! It's not played here, nor have I heard it on any other recording. This article claims that all of Bach's violone parts should be played at pitch, not an octave lower: lambert.jvanhulst.nl/pdf/bachsvioloneandvioloncellocorr291005.pdf
