  • the craziest thing is that at the time of composition the trumpet player would've played a baroque trumpet. Which doesn't have any valves because it was a natural instrument. I don't know how they could've played it!

  • My math teacher put a link this inside my math homework...I find it strange but comforting.

  • the trumpet guy is possessed

  • 3:53 smiling :)

  • x files played this song along with a message from voyager to whom ever is out there "From Planet Earth"

  • Simply amazing and wonderful. Why be such a critic- just enjoy already!

  • I love this piece! Beautifully done!

  • I don't usually see many groups do recordings of Brandenburg 2, and it is probably due to the trumpet part. That particular part is one of if not the most difficult in the whole repertoire for the trumpet; to be able to play that part on modern 4 valved piccolo trumpet is already hard enough, but to be able to do what this man is doing here with a baroque instrument is truly incredible. I take my hat off to you sir and to the orchestra for being true to the work.

  • Look! Germans expressing emotions! 

  • interprétation fantastique !!! florilège de notes !! bravo ..

  • Insanely fantastic! ... running out of words...

  • if I'm not mistaken, he is playing a valveless trumpet; every note is an overtone and is produced by his lips, tongue, and diaphram - and mind. but besides that, my mind was also drawn into this performance: men and women becoming music - the mystery of Bach - and I accepted their unspoken invitation to join them and it is from there that I am writing these inadequate words. And thank you for making this and the other concertoes available,

  • ..TRES BEAU...

  • the Trumpeter is boss

  • That trumpeter is just sitting there and he doesn't move a mussle

  • Thank you very much for this.Your work is very appreciated.

  • They really know how to blow !

  • The trumpet part is isaaane! Poor guy..

  • Comment removed

  • Very good

    

  • These musicians all appear to be so enthusiastic playing this wonderful Bach.

  • This is such a lovely classical piece. I love Bach's music.

  • It's wonderful to think that this music is traveling to the stars as an emissary of our planet. Sublime.

  • i'm looking these up from a book my mom told me to read WOOOOOWW

  • I think it's really interesting that the oboe is wooden. I am a oboe player, in case you didn't already guess xD OBOE ROCKS!!!

  • Please don't swear; it's utterly unnecessary. It's possible to express opinions, make points without swearing. Do try. You may find yourselves discovering words you've never used before and re-discovering other you haven't used for a while.

  • @esamiga The absurdity of language... to be able to categorise words as forbidden for usage is like deeming Jews as unnecessary rats

  • @sirrington

    ??????

  • HAHAHA SWWEEEET NECTAR THIS WAS FUCKING AWESOME AAAAHHHHH!

  • ja vais ca en devoir de music pour demain j ai trouver ca assez bien mais trop cours,je n est pas aimé ce tempo vif mais sinon pas de reproche Bach est un vrai génie!

  • dank

  • Fantastic performance!

  • Vivificante! energizante! una fiesta para el alma!,perfecta sincronia, gracias.

  • "These musicians, the filmaker and what they've done with JS Bach's music is, fantastic. Thank you, all. I'm moved to tears. I've a lump in my throat. My heart is racing. I've watched the whole series."

  • i'm so impressed with this version! i've been looking for a clip like this forever!

  • Aaaawwwww!!!!!! How can something be SO beautiful??!!

    I also like the way in which the musicians are arranged in the room (beautiful too), standing up. It is much more dynamic and lively.

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome! And that trumpeter........insane.

  • Did the Margrave of Brandenburg really have a trumpeter who could play this?

  • Comment removed

  • Who are these people ? They don't care, do they ? About taste,balance, moderation etc.

    So the trumpet is louder than everyone else, especially the recorder. Tough. Keep up. Do you think for a moment Bach couldn't hear and didn't plan the implications of this combination of soloists ?

    High energy, full tilt Bach. Brilliant. I am hiding behind the sofa.

  • When we meet aliens we ought to play this. It will clearly argue for our intellectual superiority.

  • I am amazed at how effortless the trumpeter makes this look. This is incredible for playing in the clarino register as Bach intended. Awesome Awesome Awesome!

  • is that a harp support? What's it called? the piano looking thing

  • @Epicbattlefan its a harpsichord

  • @Epicbattlefan It's a Harpsichord :)

  • @MsMisto165 Have you seen violinist Julia Fisher, she is the fucking amazing goddess of sexyness

  • I always get a tingly sensation when he starts the imitation at 1:18

  • @themo8pie DUDE, ME TOO hahahahhaha!!

  • @themo8pie you're not the only one! i love that sequence, every time it happens

  • Comment removed

  • i prefer allegro moderato over andante

  • I can't hear the Harpsichord.

  • 3:04 Such emotion has never been given by so great a composer as Bach. This is definitely on my 'to learn' list!

  • They all seem so happy, so carefree...

  • Yes - it's an oboe d'amore :) Popular in the Renaissance & Baroque. Softer than a contemporary oboe.

  • AT LEAST, IT SOUNDS LIKE AN OBOE!

  • @MrRafaelamadeumilani a recorder maybe? which one?

    

  • @MrRafaelamadeumilani There are 2 cream instruments, the one with a reed is an oboe, and the other is a recorder. (I think)

  • IS THAT CREAM INSTRUMENT AN OBOE?

  • Jesus Christ that Trumpeteer has a lot of skill 

  • just curious, what exactly is that instrument that the eddie izzard look-alike is playing......looks sorta like a double reed instrument but i don't know shit...

  • this is perfection!

  • Only a pianist/keyboard player would write this kind of trumpet part! hahahaha. (heavy sarcasm eh?)

  • @PINCHUNO That is so true , my friend;)

  • @PINCHUNO They had to back then, because you could only play melodies in the high register due to lack of valves. They did put a couple little holes in the side of the trumpet that you can see being opened and close if you look at the trumpetist's fingers closely. That allowed you to alter the pitch of harmonics #7 and #11 enough to turn them into tempered scale notes.

  • @PINCHUNO This part was originally written for a clarinet specialist because of it's intricacy, probably court trumpeter, Schreiber. And it sounds AWESOME!

  • @PINCHUNO I think you should say a harpsichordist/ organ player since Bach probably wouldn't know what you're talking about if you tried to involve him in a conversation about keyboards.

  • @PhillySophia Maybe you didn' read my post fully. It says heavy sarcasm at the end. Maybe you're taking it too seriously.

  • @PINCHUNO No, I was just being historically correct.

  • All criticism aside, it is immense fun to watch such talented musicians play an enjoyable piece of music. I never get tired of listening to this one, and these musicians seem to have as much fun playing this as I have watching them do so!

  • Som much joy and happiness in this music!

  • à ces musiciens : heureusement qu'il y a des gens comme vous ; sinon la vie serait bien triste.

  • Isabel Lehmann was born Isabel Lehmann (but yes, she was Isabel Crijnen for a while).

  • @Axolo1991 The Zink (not "Zinke") is a hybrid instrument, w/ "brass" mouthpiece but a woodwind body & finger holes like a recorder. Its Italian name, "cornetto," is most widely used today outside Germany. It was important in the late Renaissance & early baroque (1550–1650) but almost extinct by Bach's time, and nobody knew how to play it until recently. YouTube won't let me post the link here. Search for "Bruce Dickey: Ancor che col Partire (Angelus ad Pastores)" to see and hear it.

  • @BeowulfVids No disrespecting Maynard's chops or musicality, but I doubt he could do this very effectively unless he used a piccolo trumpet as Marsalis does when he plays it. Immer is using a valveless baroque trumpet with 8' of tubing and playing the top-most overtones, changing pitch (almost) entirely with his lip. Modern trumpet has about half that much pipe and uses piston valves so you can get a full scale—but the top is godawful! The Zink is an entirely different instrument. Continues...

  • Its utter sublime....and amazing how well Michael Schumacher has learned the vioiln ;)

  • @DrewBledsoe07 haha funny :P

  • I know what the hell I'm talking about, and no Maynard plays classical too, I only mentioned him because of his large upper range. And he IS playing a Zinke. Please don't tell me to shut up as I have a large knowledge of music and appreciate most types of music (You won't hear me listen to Pop)...

  • Maynard could play that trumpet part just as well if not better than these guys.

  • @BeowulfVids what do you want with maynard ferguson? hes a jazz musician! you cant compare those two trumpeters! Mr. Immer plays much classical music, maynard was a jazz player, moreover Mr. Immer plays a so called "Zinke", which should represent the old sound in that early baroque times, so shut up if you dont have any idea of music and especially baroque!

  • I'm listening to Brandenburg Concertos one after another! They are so pleasing to the ear! Great upload Bacholoji, please keep more bach coming!

  • To The Jw77: I agree. This is outstanding, absolutely exceptional.

  • solid performance :). Recorder sounds great says zbear bear

  • I heard this in my shopping mall in Houston the other day - asked who it was and nobody knew - anyway found it now and it is like really groovy

  • this is the song Sagan put on the disc sent into outer space...this song represents Earth

  • @elitehuntsman the time sig is 2/4

  • This orchestra rocks !

  • Anybody know the name of the recorder player? I love her playing!

  • @7MissH Hi!! Her name is Isabel Lehmann :-)

  • @7MissH It's Isabel Lehmann, born as Isabel Crijnen.

  • @7MissH Yes the sexy bride of Frankenstein!!!

  • @junglekuratz Hmm, I don't think that is her. I looked at her Wikipedia and there is no reference to this or the fact that she plays an instrument. Also, it depends which version of the film 'Frankenstein' you are referring to.

  • @7MissH It's actually not a recorder; it's the baroque version of the modern flute.

  • @morenamx which is a recorder, dumbass

  • @iateyourgranny I feel sorry for you. You are disrespecting people taking in such a language. I wonder if that is what makes you feel better as a human been. :(

  • @morenamx Which happens to be a recorder, my good sir/madam.*

  • @morenamx

    Actually, it IS a recorder, an authentic Baroque version, yes. The "Baroque version of the modern flute" you speak of is the (flauto) traverso.

  • I'd sacrafice every 21'st century musician that ever lived for bach to be ressurected and live for 1 minute.

  • Hearing this gives me a faint memory of a previous life.

  • I wonder how many of the "likes", including myself, earnestly wishes for a "love" option.

  • This is the first piece of music that the voyager golden record contains, when it starts playing, you'll hear Bach (!!) Imagine if someday in tens of thousands of years some other civilization will stumble upon this music!

  • @bassmajor Do you realize how empty interstellar space is? I'd move the decimal a few places to the right on that "tens of thousands of years."

  • what is the time signature of this piece?

  • @elitehuntsman these are the brandenburg concertos written from 1717 to 1723

  • Piano like instrument is the harpsichord.. I'm studying this piece in school and have an exam on it tomorrow (: truly is a work of art

  • This is by far the best version of brandenburg 2 on YouTube. And the trumpeter the most outstanding playing this on YouTube. Who is he? And I must also say there are a lot of uneducated idiots with Moronic comments related to this video. Stick to facebook and leave this sublimely beautiful intelligent music alone.

  • @TheJw77 That is Friedemann Immer. He is an amazing natural trumpet player.

  • @TheJw77  I disagree with you; the trumpeter should practice on the trills where he messed-up on 1:08-09 and 1:13--14, unacceptable! and on holding to the last notes (3:07 3:10 3:12) where he seems to be out of air. He doesn't seem too involved in the ensemble. Where's Maurice Andre ???

  • TheJw77 I disagree with you; the trumpeter should practice on the trills where he messed-up on 1:08-09 and 1:13--14, unacceptable! and on holding to the last notes (3:07 3:10 3:12) where he seems to be out of air. He doesn't seem too involved in the ensemble. Where's Maurice Andre ???

  • @TheJw77 Ok, jump off your high horse for one moment. It's true that the trumpet player appears to run out of air and his playing is hardly inspirational. His phrasing and attack lack the panache of a Maurice Andre or Peter Roberts (Soprano Cornet/Eb trumpet) Perhaps if he stood up he might inject a little more va va voom!

  • @darkslayer106 You guys who think this stuff is even remotely related to Maurice Andre playing Brandenburg are trumpet illiterate. Let alone comparing it to a bloody soprano cornet! THis is a baroque trumpet - Maurice Andre whilst amazing played it on the modern piccolo trumpet - a much easier thing to do - but also completely different to the period instrument Friedemann Immer is using. Compare apples with apples - find a better baroque trumpet recording out there if you can.

  • Point taken - he is a very fine exponent of this instrument. But surely technology in the form of the valved trumpet produces a clearer, brighter and ultimately more satisfying sound?

  • @TheJw77 The trumpetplayer is Friedemann Immer - and truly a great one! But so is the music of Bach...

  • @TheJw77 You think this recording is better than the one with Abbado, Petri, and Friedrich? I'm not attacking you're comment, just wondering where you are coming from, isn't it sad I have to justify that???)

  • @TheJw77 It's a shame but You Tube is plagued with these attention-seeking halfwits giving vent to ill-informed nonsense. It's best to ignore them and starve them of the oxygen of attention that they crave. Treat their asinine comments in that way and they may in time drift away. On the positive side, we have this sublime music at the click of a mouse. I wish you a life of peace and well-being.

  • @nomeat1 I guess I'm going to agreee with "nomeat1". It's best to ignore this "nonsense" (trumpet plays way too fast and too high - that's just showing off) and try to find some serious musicians on youtube. I humbly submit that any of the videos at my page are as good as this high-brow drivel.

    Baaaach! That's the sound I make getting ill into a toilet.

  • @number1saxophone dude you play saxophone...what do you know?

  • @chrispyhairs1 I know two things: One - Regarding my areas of expertise, well you obviously should just quit while you're behind on that one. Two - It's time for you to hit the showers and deal with that smegma situation (bring a towel next time).

    Winning!

  • @chrispharis1 When I read your comment, I laughed.

  • @chrispharis1 You are correct, and more correct than anyone I have seen comment on his action.

  • @number1saxophone Trumpet playing what he is given is showing off? Have you even looked at the sheet music? Have you even looked up the 'Brandenburg Concerto's'? Do you know what 'Allegro Moderato' means? Obviously not. The trumpeter is playing the given music and is producing a marvelous sound.

  • @TheAssMystery I have not looked up the sheet music to this. None of my bands even use charts anymore. You can see for yourself on our videos. I think it's rude to the audience not to memorize the parts and then hide behind music stands like that. Plus you can't play with FEELING when you have to read off a page. If "Allegro Modernato" means more high notes - then it should just be ignored.

    P.S. - You might want to seek professional help if that swelling doesn't go down in 1 or 2 weeks.

  • @number1covers 2 obvious things here. You can't spell and similarly, I am now obliged to why you substituted my name for a rude cover. I am not the Ass Mystery, I am the Last Myztery. That is immature behavior, much like your channel. Grow Up.

  • @number1covers Also, read my other comment on you beforehand. Your taste of music is as far from this period as humanly possible, so to the tense that you reserve in the matter of Baroque - You have no knowledge!

    Simply put with a PERIOD. Leave you pathetic comments and videos to another site, or even better, to yourself! I am sorry, but you are some of the most immature people I have seen on youtube, and you music covers? Yuck.

  • @TheLastZitStory This guy is obviously just jealous of the fact that I'm in a kick-ass band. Hey pizza-face, my advice is that you stop leaving silly comments on youtube and use that time to practice. Then maybe some day you'll be able to play as good as us. Go ahead now, you've got work to do.

    P.S. - and I don't want to hear about your facial blemishes either.

  • @number1covers 'Then maybe some day you'll be able to play as good as us.' I quote this. Especially by looking at your huge lack of Likes for your videos, I would not judge that you at all 'Play Well' and even if you are correct, why would I want to play or even touch the boring subject you and your...err..band play. Some failure covers and music that sounds more like a washing machine. You have made J.S.Bach angry and the rest of the marveled composers with it. I think you should take a step up

  • @TheJw77 beautifully said!!! I am making a you tube playlist for my 3month old and absolutely had to, respectfully, add this video. This is heavenly music!!

  • @TheJw77 "Stick to facebook", that´s a good one.. :)

  • @TheJw77 There are probably Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus fans leaving idiotic comments. I literally believe that listening to too much of that music is bad for the brain.

  • Parabéns Vocês tocam Demais..>!!!!!!!!!

    Aprecio muito corcertos!!!!!

    

  • i love it, do you know this master piece is flying in the music of Voyager!!!!

  • The segments starting at 0'38'', 1'35'', 1'45'', 2'25'' etc separates the girls from the women....

  • Sounds similar to Vivaldi's Four Seasons, doesn't it? I know they aren't exactly the same, but you must admit....

  • @psychicbyinternet bach was hugely influenced by vivaldi which may be why

  • um pouco rápido demais, na minha opinião

  • @28thMaoriBattalion not to me there not : )

  • @ artfreaksue, the piano-liked instrument of which you speak of at 0:26 is a Harpsichord.

  • The segment starting at 2'55'' separates the men from the boys....

  • what's the name of that piano liked instrument at 0:26?? I love it!!

  • @artfreaksue its called a Harpsichord X|

  • I@bachthoven1685,

    If you think that's something, did you catch the night that Roy Clark played the Mendelssohn violin concerto about 20 years ago with the Boston Pops? I at first couldn't believe my eyes as to who it was. What a talented sring musician! I had never seen anything like it. You might be able to pick that up on Youtube

  • @ABoyle Trumpet,

    In that case, I take that to mean that you can. Lol. I just read that somewhere, and also that Bach did not like the trumpet player of the Brandenburg Orchestra, is why he made it so difficult, and as a result they were never played in concert in Bach"s lifetime.

  • Amazing to think, that if an extra terrestrial were to discover either the Voyager 1 or 2, that this would be the first music from earth that they would ever hear. Amazing to ponder about.

  • There are only three trumpet players in the world who can play this piece, as it is played on the Baroque trumpet, the hardest instrument there is to play

  • @imninriver

    There are many more trumpet players than you think that can play this. Keep looking!

  • @imninriver

    There are many more natural trumpet players than you think that can play this. Keep looking!

    

  • i am just learning how to play this on the flute :) im so exited

  • I know it has to be extremely difficult to play that baroque trumpet in tune, especially with that kind of playing.

  • I didn't know David Hasselhoff plays the violin. 0:19

  • 55 people are musically illiterate.

  • That's quite a lick they took it at!

  • It sure does, Alecs. Music like this is why I'm an agnostic and not an atheist.

  • who can dislike this?

  • This music comes from heaven

  • This music comes from heaven

  • This music coms from heaven

  • respekt!!

  • i'm infatuated with that recorder!!!

  • That does not look like an oboe. It looks more like a shawm, the baroque version. And that flute is a recorder. And the trumpet is a little different. I wander what that is

  • That trumpet comes from heaven!

  • la máquina! jaja...pobres flautistas...

  • that treble recorder can blow me anytime <_<

  • wow..after years of playing violin at middle and high school, I look upon the concertmaster and all the musicians here and I notice something I have not seen before: they are just so..so..smooth - their visage is calm, and their minds are focused. Their flow is just simply breathtaking.

  • CUNT

  • @bilda2

    LMAO <_<

  • Once E.T. intercepts this, billions of years from now, he'll think Earth was uncool and it's all your fault. Next time go with Black Eyed Peas. Perhaps "Meet Me Halfway" would be sufficiently ironic, but we would probably get better results with "Let's Get Retarded" or some shit like that. Who wants aliens that like baroque? That's almost as unwanted as humans who like baroque.

  • @DJBerserk you are an uneducated idiot who came here and insulted this work of art that a man so talented wrote it because it was in his blood, and suggested names of artists, if u can call them artists, that make songs about being retarded, only to make some money. let me think... classical music was written for kings... today music for dumbass guys like you.. wait.. who are the unwanted ones?

  • @alieninvestigator I think I'm educated enough to know that in the history of history, no alien investigator has been wanted by people who don't wear tin foil hats nor has he gotten any pussy besides the Fleshlight and some lubed up balloons, but then again I'm quite the presumptuous fuck. And before you call out my childish assumptions--and they are childish--note your own bawwing at anybody who doesn't like your shit music.

    I think we're both dumbasses, and you are no one to disagree.

  • @DJBerserk its a username on a public website and i created the account when i was 13.. so judging my name is stupid.. and if u dont like "my shit music" why the fuck would you come here and insult it? THAT is childish

  • @DJBerserk the black eyed peas are complete garbage with no talent. Just look at their super bowl halftime performance. I'd like to see Will I Am or Fergie play period instruments like these true artists.

  • @atlrhysdavis Oh?

  • @DJBerserk Seriously you have clearly no idea what you are talking about. It's a fact that baroque music performed in a authentic way is becoming more popular. And these people know what they're doing and they do it really, really well! If you call this "shit" you're a "uneducated idiot" like "alieninvestigator" said. And if you have good ears and you listen honestly to yourself you can't disagree with that.

  • @stephanesmeijer I'd like to see your certification in massive butthurt please; I'm sure it's more existent than your certification in accepting opinions other than your own, seeing as you actually took the time to attempt deconstruction of an opinion--it's YouTube, no less.

    But more amusingly "shit" is nowhere to be used in context with the faggotry that is baroque in my initial comment, so your schoolyard roast is little more than flailing helplessly. Your comment is ruined.

    Come at me bro.

  • This is a good demonstration to why musical geniuses also have exceptionally high IQs.
