Nice to see how much of Leonhardt's personality went into these ensemble performances. It's very skilled conducting, and I like the fact he's seated—much in keeping with the period. I note how beautifully the two recorder-players handle their exposed unison passages: very very hard to do unison duos like that.
Another valuable historic video! Fortunately Leonhardt has also recorded BWV106 for the Teldec series. Leonhardt's conducting here is like playing a huge tracker organ - i.e., with immediate action ... and it works wonders! Besides many other things he did, Leonhardt invented a marvellously effective way of directing this type of music. May this wonderful musician rest in peace ... in aeternum.
Sincere thanks for this precious document honouring the art of Gustav Leonhardt.
I discovered baroque music when I was a boy, thanks to him and to the other artists we can see playing here. Since then, music strongly affected all my life, even if I am not a professional musician. I am proud to have got and grown one seed from the lots Leonhardt left us as an heritage.
what an amazing document, thank you so much for posting this!
the first generation of musicians that actually mastered the "historcal performance practise",
had almost tears in my eyes listening to my teacher marius, seeing a yound max van egmont and healthy looking frans brueggen, jaap ter linden, ton koopman and had a little laugh at gustav leonhardts "conducting", may he rest in piece, he can be so proud of his input into realizing this music, we've learned so much! thank you, Gutti!
@gesualdolistener Not to take anything away from the extraordinary achievements of the late Gustav Leonhardt, but important to note that some 30 years earlier Isolde Ahlgrimm was leading historically informed performances - some of which a much younger Leonhardt attended and was most surely influenced by.
Many thanks to @rodevries for posting this wonderful video!

The two alto recorders in F are probably copies of Stanesby and the pitch is for sure at La = 392 Hz.
