My favorite performance of the 6 Brandenburg Concerto ever, Claudio Abbado is a wonderful and talented conductor, and the Orchestra Mozart just feed of his passion and energy..... I will not see another performance of this standard in my lifetime.

[LULLYxoxo]

bu-te-ful !

[elmbudsman]

My favorite.

[Ashlar62]

I never even knew what a viola looked like. Now I do, and thanks for the enlightening explanations. What I did know, thankfully, was how much I love Bach and seeing a performance does add something to the beauty. Rather graceful and sensual movements.

[Nicolette57]

AAH SO cool!!!! Even Bach would slap a tackie!

[gimaru1]

please post the last movement

[gimaru1]

awesome i like it a lot! I hate when people play this kind of music with shity sound without vibrato and using crapy instruments and bows

[eriqkk]

@gimaru1 ...even worse, this is a horrendous performance. they use baroque bows (and violas da gamba!), all played in the most aggressive style possible. Bach isn't tchaikovsky, please!

[wcbroccoli]

@eriqkk Why are you complaining about the use of violas da gamba? The piece is scored for 2 violas and cello (forming the concertino), 2 VIOLAS DA GAMBA, and continuo (with an 8' violone).

As for the bows, these look like late 18th c. bows ("Mozart bows") rather than Baroque bows.

The style of playing doesn't sound particularly 'aggressive" to me. Perhaps you prefer the clueless pink tea style of Bach playing.

[eriqkk]

@wcbroccoli Precisely why I complain about the viols in this interpretation, fool! They're playing at modern pitch with period bows, and with absolutely no idea how to use those bows. That goes for the entire group, by the way, the shoulder violas as well as the viol players.

Perhaps you prefer the remain clueless where interpretation is concerned, no? Play either in modern style (as these people obviously can only do) with modern instruments and bows, or play well with period instruments.

[wcbroccoli]

@eriqkk Oh, as a viol player, I know a thing or 2 about HIP. How do you know these viol players don't know how to use their bows? Do you play viol? Re pitch, when Bach performed church music in Weimar, the custom was to tune to organ pitch (~A465), not chamber pitch (~A415). Strings (viols, too) were tuned up to A465. Winds that could only play at chamber pitch had their parts transposed up a whole step. I doubt they were as fussy as we are about pitch standards.

[MyZenzero]

E' di una tale bellezza!!! così aereo...mette le ali all'anima! E loro, è evidente, sono felici di suonare...

[Kraviotho]

good job

nice interpretation

6 stars! xD

[joufijou]

Love the joy - the musical shaping - the life in the performance.

[timlyg]

Heya, why those other two "cello" players use different bowing?

[PeriodinstrumentfaN]

they use what i think they call "the underhand hold"... they're playing on Viola da Gamba ... ;-)

[AmatureComposer]

That's because these are not cellos. These are viole da gamba and their bowing is different.

[patrickloiseleur]

because they are playing viola da gamba, not cello.

[Jakaybaybay123]

@timlyg because they're not "cellos," they're viols and most baroque players hold their bows like that so they have more control especially with bariolage bowing.

[LouKit]

You can see them having so much fun. That's music, don't you think?

It is my most favourite piece and they do play it well.

[acc96build]

@LouKit It's a little slow... oh well

[LouKit]

@acc96build For me it's not about how fast or slow someone plays a piece – and to be honest: Most pieces are played much too fast these days – for me it is about the experience of the pieces heart. That is what makes good music. For me.

[twooffour]

@LouKit

Nothing beats Musica Antiqua Koeln on this one, though :D

[Biladalwakwak]

رائع

[Mantis06]

Is there no video on youtube of the 2nd and 3rd movements? :(

[clopjj]

fatto!

[acc96build]

@Mantis06 Yes, there is. You can also go to Wikipedia's article on Brandenburg Concertos to listen to the rest of it.
