You mean the principal violinist. There are 3 violin parts: principal, 1st ripieno and 2nd ripieno.

@@AmeeliaK Thank you 　（arigatou ありがとう）

This splendid ensemble understood JS Bach based on the sources. Karaschwein never understood JS Bach and was just trying to re-imagine his music from a too big modern perspective, which is deconstructing the music instead of filling it with life. So Karaschwein's performances are dead, and this performance by the Bremer Barockorchester is vivid and full of life (especially due to the small size)!

@@tobiasstudtheol As I understand you call Karajan Karaschwein, maybe a little rough, I think. Karajan has still an influence on modern interpretations. But maybe Bach was not his best card? Anyhow, I agree about this splendid ensemble, Bremer Barockorchester.

@Staffan Olofsson , maybe this individual has an influence on modern "interpretation", but that's still unnecessary. Thinking musicians distance themselves from such uninformed bullshit called modern "interpretation".

@@tobiasstudtheol Dear Tobias, so we both love this interpretation, "vivid and full of life" as you say. And I agree. And Im not so fond of Karajan myself. We are on the same side!

Karajan est ce que Mozart a été de son vivant c'est à dire en quelques sorte le Mozart des chefs d'orchestre 😂❤👍🥂🥂

It's vivid a lively how JS Bach thought the music, 😉.

Dear gab: About the violin we seem to have different opinions. I like this faster tempo. But I will not argue. I respect your opinion.

Oh wow perhaps more than often things are less prescriptive than people would like to think

That's a Theorbo, not a Lute

These "extra" instruments only make the music better.

@@ShinAkiraX Exactly... baroque was all about improvisation

That's thinking too small of this music. Early music is all about seeing music non-conformative. Modern thinking is all about having a fixed view or position on something, but that's not applicable to early music. E.g. continuo sections were built up and cast differently for every occasion (even up to the point of what was affordable to the host/ financer of the event). There is evidence of nobility and royalty wanting to show off and having huge sections of bass instruments (as well as a large phalanx of trumpets). It was more important to have an alternation than just having one standard formation. That is making it at the same time easy, difficult, and interesting for us if we want to find a suitable continuo section as there was nothing as the (!) continuo as people sometimes think. Even the cello and harpsichord weren't as much in use as many nowadays think. A lot of historical instruments used in historical continuo sections are not really used anymore or are sometimes even "forgotten" about. From this perspective, this very continuo section used here somehow became the "modern standard," but it should be seen as just one possibility among many.
