Amazing quality for when it was recorded. Still by far the best recording, at least for this movement, on YouTube.

That's interesting. I've heard the exact opposite, namely that Bach was dissatisfied with his keyboard transition of this violin concerto (the G minor, I believe it is), since the strings too much dominated the piece and no real development of the harpsichord part could take place - according to Bach, that is. I've lost the source...

[alienalienss]

@vanderbilt887 Yeah, I believe you're right and shiveringflower is wrong. Luckily for us, though, pianos are much louder than harpsichords, so the G minor concerto sounds just fine!

ooh.

[moni1361]

OMG its beautyfull but i find the timing flipping hard ;-)

[ddviolinist]

what are you talking about, the timing?

[polymath7]

Damn it, Johann, why couldn't you have gotten off your ass and written more than three violin concertos?

This is sublime.

[hainanrose]

@polymath7 geesh, what do you want? He wrote 6 amazing Sonatas and Partitas!

[sanchuUu]

@polymath7 waah! he was busy writing the suites for cello solo... and these are not enough either D:

[shiveringflower]

@polymath7 Agreed, although Bach himself was unhappy with them and later rewrote them as keyboard concerti, which he felt worked much better.

[polymath7]

@shiveringflower Bach was dissatisfied with his violin concerti? You've aroused my curiosity. I don't suppose you have a source?

[dr7ankosh]

the sound of violin is beats of my heart

[aau00jws]

[debartzen]

Menuhin-Bach.¡Insuperable!

[seahyimin]

[polymath7]

I was just thinking the same thing.

[nivique]
