And a superb and expressive performance full of character and panache. I will listen to the entire concerto again very soon. Bravo, Maestro Sato!

That sounds awesome! Just in the nick of time before Corona made both travelling and concerts very difficult.

@@keesvanzandt9737 yup, i was very lucky. I had my final term exam the day before and took a bus straight after for the 11 hour journey. Good times

It’s amazing how much like rock n roll Bach can sound! He was truly a musician for all time

Thank you for not coughing. 😂

@@matthewplaza it was a struggle for sure 😂

on the way music at all is going, probably not.

Don't sleep on other baroque composers!

Check out Buxtehude, mondoville, Louis de caix d'hervelois, and Zelenka. Also, if you're into medieval music, I recommend Tomas Luis de Victoria, Gesualdo and Hildegard von Bingen

Knowing what you do, I can't argue with your choice, but being a retired performer and music historian I'm afraid I am not as able as you to claim a favourite. There were just so many composers at the time who were excellent in their own specific areas. It's often been said that Bach composed for God and Handel composed for man. I doubt that you'll find anyone from the time who composed better for the theatre, just as you can't find anyone more capable of composing chromatically than Bach. Rameau did a fantastic job composing for the French theatre and ballet, and in those genera there is none better, though Lully did a fine job in the former generation, especially with his chamber works. Handel stated envy for Telemann's ability to write, saying, "Telemann composes music like others write letters." It was an amazing time in music history with more great composers around in more different areas then there have been at any time before or since. To be sure, there have been other great composers, but they have simply never been in as great supply as they were then. That didn't always play to their advantage, but still, it has to be viewed as a golden age in music, and each composer of the time has to be viewed in the context of his (or in the case of Barbara Strotzi, her) own place in it. Do keep up your wonderful work, and your contributions to music on KZfaq. The world is wealthier for it.

@@alpinoalpini3849 thank you!

Cheers!!❤

Dramatic expression. Very precise characteristic.

I sincerely feel that in cases like this it becomes less and less possible to understand it as a newly set "standard". I just don't see this ever becoming a standard. Not because of the impossibility of reaching this level but because I believe their is to much art in this performance to ever be considered as something to expect, to actually relate to. It's a masterpiece that can be admired not merely consulted. Music (just as life, knowledge, speech...) is free, interpretation is singular and musicians are human, therefore: unique, complete and perfect music. I find their performance to be this.

@@sbggillis6251 fair enough. However unique each performance is there are those we want to hear again and those we don’t. Was simply praising this one for being one I’d certainly return to as an exemplar of HIP.

Dear Baroque Panama, I'd love to learn more about your group, especially about baroque performances in Panama! I've become quite obsessed with the Netherlands Bach Society, but I live in Panama.

@@martijnslot95 Hi, I m not anymore in Panama. The Baroque Panama Ensemble was created just for that concert as a posthumous tribute to a dear friend of the group. About early music perfomances in Panama you can check out Festival Musica Antigua Panama. And yes you re right, Netherlands Bach Society is amazing!

Yo también escuchando desde Córdoba Argentina saludos

Clever comment. Don't think many people got it.

😂

If you think the harpsichord version is the authentic check out sinfonia to cantata 146 and have your mind blown.

This actually probably is the more "authentic" version, as it is thought that this concerto was originally written for violin, then transcribed for keyboard. (read the video description)
