  • You can't be serious. O_O I'm supposed to be playing the cello part for this but man.....

  • Thanks for sharing this. Excellent.

  • Bachのこんな音楽を聞いているとなんか..頭が良くなる気分­になる.

    笑 ^^;

    좋은연주 감사~.

  • Siehste, Bach ist Heavy Metal !

  • Thats Heavy Metal !

  • The orchestra doing just great but Cello part that I'm not sure if he could match the thunder and enthusiasm of whole orchestra! So I prefer the original piece for Flue there the wind instrument shall engaged so well with any fine orchestra.. however it's good performance and thanks for uploading.

  • Christopher Hogwood is the best, and actually this is the best reccording that I heard ever.

  • @ jokerXL512: double basses were certainly around in CPEB's lifetime and were used in orchestral works (concertos and symphonies) and large-scale vocal works (Passions and oratorios). They are not always indicated explicitly, but when they are (as they are in some concerto manuscripts and printed editions from CPEB's lifetime), they are indicated as "Violone."

  • @gdbalck: The Concerto in A Minor was originally written for the cello (Wq 170) and subsequently arranged for flute (Wq 166) and also for keyboard (Wq 26).

  • @cpebjbg I'd be interested in hearing the keyboard version.

  • Sturm und Drang rules! ;)

  • I wonder: who in this video has gut strings? How "period" are they trying to be? They have a bass. . . That wouldn't have been around until after CPE Bach's life, right? Same with endpins, right? If they're playing with steel strings (which I suspect since the harpsichord is rather overpowered) then it's especially impressive that they're able to be so articulate.

  • Wonderful piece!! Too bad that it isn't so well-known. I just must find the sheet music! Someone who knows where I can find it?

    Also, nice this cellist is!

  • @RebelMaNa

    I found it at imslp.org

    Having fun trying to playing it - but it's just not the same without the orchestra talking back!

  • Cello has no "H" it!

  • Amazing!

  • Great performance.

  • Gorgeous music!

  • Wonderful version of this marvellous piece. I heard a flute concerto version on radio when I was a child. That version I remember the strings played the opening section with incredible vigor bordering on violence and it just blew me away.

  • Always a thrill to see this music inspire such eloquence as 'fuck off' and 'ass troll' =D

  • that dude is epic on the Chello

  • amazing piece!!! And great performance!

  • This is truly music at its best C.P.E is even better than Mozart(Ghasp) I wonder why his music is not played more often?

  • One of my favorite CPE Bach pieces. Splendid! Heard it as a flute concerto the first time, but this arrangement is very good.

  • What a complex music!!

  • My cello teacher played alsaw with Christopher Hogwood a few weeks ago :) I got from him an autograph :)

    So good concerto :)

  • when was this composed??!!??

  • About 1750.

  • I believe this piece its Flute Concerto and Orchestra of C.P.E.Bach in a-moll Wq166

  • Dynamic, splendid!

  • did this make you feel good?

  • 7:00 ! keyboardist is a peach!

  • why? ;)

    hes one of the greatest harpsichordist i know!!!

  • "underrated? How? He was much more popular than his father. You know nothing. Another idiot on the forums."

    And another rude, pompous ass as well.

  • ROFL I think he meant underated in his time or perhaps just not as WELL known at the time since the king would not let his music be played written or performed anywhere without his consent. Kind of tragic in a way you know, the man couldnt even travel and spread his work at the time like he wanted to

  • Are these period instruments?

  • Fantastico!Ottima interpretazione e suono bellissimo. Grande David!

  • I love the concertmaster's expressions... he looks a little drunk :/

  • too quickly, imo. but still amazing. ;)

  • The tempo sounds fine to me, though I've never heard this piece.

    Perhaps you previously heard a slower performance of this piece and liked it.

    Now anything faster seems too fast for you.

  • wow these sound very similar to Vivaldi!

    all Bach familie seems influenced by Vivaldis music

  • I don't think so.

  • There's no way I'd ever mistake any Bach for Vivaldi.

  • Some Bach IS Vivaldi. ;) BWV 593, &c., &c.

  • When Prince Johann Ernst of Weimar returned in 1713 from his study trip with scores of italian string concertos, Italian music became all the rage at the Weimar court. As a result, Bach, the court organist, was commissioned to make keyboard transcriptions of various Italian strings concertos. Keyboard transcriptions of Italian strings concertos were common in Germany and the Netherlands at the time.

    But there's no way I'd confuse the style of Bach with the style of Vivaldi.

  • ....Copies of Italian string concertos by Vivaldi and others were circulating in Germany at least a decade before Weimar court organist Bach was asked to write keyboard transcriptions of various Italian string concertos. He was already familiar with Vivaldi string concertos years before he was asked to make any transcriptions.

  • Yes, of course. Bach did make a point to write in the Italian style a few times though. I think he did an admirable job. Truth is, I know these compositions by heart so I'd never get them confused anyway. I know much less about C.P.E. Bach so I won't venture there. Just reminding everyone Bach did show interest in the style and I thought it was funny since you brought it up both names. No need to get sore cause I'm not arguing!

  • Yes. But this was not peculiar to Bach. In the early 1700s, many German composers, not just Bach, began using the form of Italian concertos as models for their own music. Quantz, for example, wrote, "Vivaldi's splendid ritornelli served as good models for me in later days." But it does not mean Quantz (or Bach) wrote music that sounded like Vivaldi's.

  • As you wish.

  • It is as it is.

    My wishes had nothing to do with it.

  • It's an idiomatic expression, dummy. Quit being so ostentatious and bellicose. It's not very becoming of you.

  • What a disingenuous load of crap.

    You're a dummy it you think I didn't recognize your "idiomatic expression" for

    what it was.

  • Exactly my point.

  • You have no point.

  • You proved my point that you're pretentious. Dude, I wasn't even arguing with you. I was supporting your point that Bach (J.S. or any other Bach) doesn't sound like Vivaldi. Just throwing some history out there. Quit being an ass troll. Cheers mate. =)

  • I wasn't "arguing" with you. Nor was I being "ostentatious" or "bellicose."

    And there's nothing pretentious in saying: "What a disingenuous load of crap. You're a dummy it you think I didn't recognize your 'idiomatic expression' for

    what it was."

    Here's an idiomatic expression for you: Fuck off.

    (Nothing to get upset about. After all, it's just an idiomatic expression, like "dummy", "ass troll", "as you wish" and "whatever.")

  • lol.

  • Comment removed

  • How do "these sound very similar to Vivaldi"? They sound very dissimilar to me. One could just as easily say these sound very similar to Correli, Boccherini, Haydn or Mozart.

  • GREAT! and the harpsichordist is my idol!! Viva Mortensen!

  • Do you play the harpsichord?

  • yes...

  • Cool. It must be nice to play something interesting like that.

  • oh yes ... i love it ;)

  • Lucky you! I play the piano (VERY badly) :P

  • Is it Lars Ulrik Mortensen? He fantastic (and danish!)

  • I do not know one note from the other and I don't know any composers if anyone should ask me But I like to listen to Christopher Hogwood Just Beautiful Music. Norm. Farley

  • Hogwood could make any orchestral group sound wonderful - I heard him do it during the 1998 Mostly Mozart Week at the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (Washington DC). He made the National Symphony Orchestra sound great. Now that was an achievement.

  • viva hogwood? well...viva cpe!!! its so sad that cpe bach has been over the years classified just as a sturm und drang composer. cpe bach is one the greatest genius of music history! bachtastic!!

  • I think that he is using a bit to much vibrato... but the rest is exelent!

  • Hogwash no such thing as too much vibrato! :p just kidding But seriously I love the tone of his cello it is brighter than any I have heard.

  • Can you please post the other movements!!! :)

  • Marvelous..

  • Very good celist! Bravo!

  • This is excellent playing. This fellows 3-4 trilling is wonderful. It takes a very strong hand to effectively 3-4 trill. I'm a bit disappointed in the concerto, though. The A Major is much better(and unfortunately extremely difficult)

  • "better" in what respect?

  • Viva Hogwood!

  • Bravo!!!
