you can look all you want for a better performance of this one of a kind cello concerto, but i dont think u will find one since it is music at its best done by a real true maestros that includes the wonderful orchestra. the music play as originally intended, fast clean and extremely skillful. thanks to conductors such as hogwood music like this is delivered as c.p.e were to conduct it himself. i adore his fierceness....

I miss Christopher very much. He had such a love for ancient classical music.

Very good celist! Bravo!

...eine Sternstunde. DANKE!!!

Gorgeous music!

La patru ace. Cu impresia unei străluciri promiţătoare. Felicitări!

@gdbalck: The Concerto in A Minor was originally written for the cello (Wq 170) and subsequently arranged for flute (Wq 166) and also for keyboard (Wq 26).

amazing piece!!! And great performance!

Thanks for sharing this. Excellent.

@ jokerXL512: double basses were certainly around in CPEB's lifetime and were used in orchestral works (concertos and symphonies) and large-scale vocal works (Passions and oratorios). They are not always indicated explicitly, but when they are (as they are in some concerto manuscripts and printed editions from CPEB's lifetime), they are indicated as "Violone."

Amazing!

viva hogwood? well...viva cpe!!! its so sad that cpe bach has been over the years classified just as a sturm und drang composer. cpe bach is one the greatest genius of music history! bachtastic!!

Great performance.

Yes, of course. Bach did make a point to write in the Italian style a few times though. I think he did an admirable job. Truth is, I know these compositions by heart so I'd never get them confused anyway. I know much less about C.P.E. Bach so I won't venture there. Just reminding everyone Bach did show interest in the style and I thought it was funny since you brought it up both names. No need to get sore cause I'm not arguing!

Exactly my point.

that dude is epic on the Chello

6:30

Always a thrill to see this music inspire such eloquence as 'fuck off' and 'ass troll' =D

About 1750.

As you wish.

ROFL I think he meant underated in his time or perhaps just not as WELL known at the time since the king would not let his music be played written or performed anywhere without his consent. Kind of tragic in a way you know, the man couldnt even travel and spread his work at the time like he wanted to

Can you please post the other movements!!! :)

This is excellent playing. This fellows 3-4 trilling is wonderful. It takes a very strong hand to effectively 3-4 trill. I'm a bit disappointed in the concerto, though. The A Major is much better(and unfortunately extremely difficult)

Are these period instruments?

wow these sound very similar to Vivaldi! all Bach familie seems influenced by Vivaldis music

I love the concertmaster's expressions... he looks a little drunk :/

Some Bach IS Vivaldi. ;) BWV 593, &c., &c.

lol.
