[AnitaAmbrose28]

[piesseesse]

Too slow

[mdelair420]

@piesseesse Yea every version has its own interpertation.I like them all as Bach is my fav composer ever.Peaceout and godspeed

[phatphuck1792]

Seriously, this is one guy I would love to go back in time and learn from him.

[MssAmoureux]

espectacularmente bello. hermosisima e importante obra de Bach. DEfinitivamente hace parte de las piezas mas grandiosas escuchadas del periodo barroco. Representa la majestuosidad del maestro.. Arriba Bach Carajo!!!!!!!!!! :D Excelente 100/10

[holgerhaupt]

I am from Leipzig. Listen to his music in the Nicolai or Thomas Church. What a privilege it was. Now I left my homeland more than 22 years ago. Miss it. sitting there in those churches and just listen.

[fishyfilms1]

hold pause it sounds awsome

[ROBERTPATTINSON10100]

THIS ISN'T EVEN BACH IT'S LA PRIMAVERA BY VIVALDI



[nyo267n]

@ROBERTPATTINSON10100 Did you even bother looking up La Primavera/Spring before writing that comment?

[gothicgrowler]

@ROBERTPATTINSON10100 XDDD!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!! That just made my day ='D you're so stupid xDD!!

[valleyoftheheart]

Playing this in my Orchestra. It's HARD at full speed!!!! :D So pretty though.

[whatthefrackman]

Just found out this great piece will be in Saints Row The Third, lets get classy mofos!

[megaloikos]

futuendus iste ultimus,

[3tgiac]

4:45 ... Fucking Vintage Bach.

[MaisSimples]

BRAVÍSSIMO!!!

[ajwiggins01]

@mdog48765 so am i

[Jill1804]

lovely music:) like it so much

[mdog48765]

im playing dis in orchestra :D

[Obstatic]

One of my absolute favorite pieces of music ever.

[Supersupernatify]

Im playing this in class. Best piece ive heard from Johan yet! :)

[BoothsLuver]

I remember playing this song in high school with my orchestra class! I love it, but it gives me nightmares! I played the 2nd violin part. :D

[kuroshitsuji56]

@BoothsLuver i totally know what you mean !

[gannable]

the jesuit order suppressed his work during his time

[slmeucalesa1]

wow!.......when one thinks of the catalogue of human achievement throughout the ages....you KNOW this piece is part of the discussion.

Say it with me everyone..... long, slow, and drawn out in the style of F. Murray Abraham in the intro to the movie "Amadeus". : JOHANN......................SE­BASTIAN.................BAAAAA­ACH !!!!!

sorry wolfgang ......LOL

[Mamasan41]

THANK YOU!!!!! Bach's music reminds me of musical mathematics! Splendid!!! BRAVO!

[boedhaspeaks]

@Mamasan41 So true, i thought i was the only nutter who had that idea :D

[SuitablyUntitled]

It's amazing to think that music of this standard was being produced over 300 years ago, then you hear the music of today and can't help but think what has happened to the world of music

[twooffour]

@SuitablyUntitled

Like what music of today?

[mysterioso2006]

THIS should've been the theme to A Clockwork Orange

[NJA1039]

@mysterioso2006 then you sorely misunderstand, my droog. Burgess was a musical master himself and carefully chose Ludwig Van as the subject. Bach is involved in the Baroque's heavily ordered and rule specific style. Ludwig Van is Romantic, emotional, free to explore other depths of human soul and other ultra-violence

[oRISHI12]

@mysterioso2006 lol, go tell stanley

[12340felix]

@Inflames4lyf clarkston high school

[lesclaypoolthesecond]

My school's chamber orchestra performed this too. However, this actually sounds like music

[Bayleebails]

My schools orchestra preformed this, it was AMAZING

[12340felix]

@nationalvideowatcher i know i heard it too but i first heard this when i had to play it for my school

[InFlames4lyf]

@12340felix LUCKY!!!!!!!!!! what school do you go to? damn

[NationalVideoWatcher]

Believe it or not, I first heard this song on Saints Row 2

[SatchmoSings]

It's amazing how performance practices of Bach almost universally suck though this one is way better than most.

People who play ahead of the beat, and insist on using the thick vibrato of the romantic era; there was no vibrato in Bach's day, at least like this.

This performance also, as typical, has no "attack and release" or "bending and bowing" in the string playing, though, as I said, it's generally better than most; it's a lot less "wheezy" but it still could be better.

[kaslyc]

ky i ka shkerdhyer motren

[berner]

Now that he's so well known today as opposed to when he was alive, I guess we can now make a movie about him. I would call this movie:

Bach to the Future

[puddingmonsta1]

@berner that sounds like crap

[berner]

@puddingmonsta1 :(

[mysweetrarefish]

Is a little bit slow, but is nice tempo, it sounds great!!!; It is my favorite Brandenburg Concerto

[ensignlilyjavert]

First, TOO SLOW. Second, this is Allegro Moderato. The Allegro is the third movement.

[efergarmx]

I personally like more this slow version than the faster one because i can enjoy every sound that i hear through the melody. Thanks to upload the Brandemburg Concert no. 3.

[discohunter12]

I don't understand, why is it that just about every musical genius has some kind of defect with them? Even in more modern times I've seen it happen

[DiazdelVivar]

why humans don't understand genius like Bach or Mozart when they are alive?? we should be very very grateful that even they didn't was recognized they made music like this

[JustinBieberGirl3194]

i have to do this at school and it is way faster than this !!

[Shillingbabe]

Oh dear ~ sooooooooooooo slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww



[Shillingbabe]

Oh dear ~ sooooooooooooo slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[firebreathone3]

too slow, too much vibrato. A better performance is that of the Freiburg Orchestra. look it up

[SatchmoSings]

@firebreathone3 On your word, I listened to the Freiburg Orchestra version of this and while I felt the tempos too fast, I liked everything else about this performance.

This is about as close to correct performance practices as I've heard in a while; while the ensemble plays too fast for my taste, they NEVER play ahead of the beat; they get the basic rhythm correctly.

The also play WITHOUT vibrato yet still give the piece delight and variety through other appropriate methods.

Thank you.

[Terrdemarzielle]

@firebreathone3 Thanks for your comment (somewhere around here.) Freiburg has probably the best Brandenburg records on Youtube don't they? (I have to admit, some of them are pushing the speed limits though, but better too fast than too slow) Keep in touch

[rockon919]

Prodigy!

[MisunderstoodSith]

I understand the greatness of Classical music, but this does nothing for me, I'm waiting for it to be over in all honesty.

Some classical I like but this one, nah.

[Terrdemarzielle]

@MisunderstoodSith I'll tell you why. You're listening to the wrong recording. Play Bach badly and it just sounds annoying.

[MisunderstoodSith]

@Terrdemarzielle that might have something to do with it. XD

Either way i'm not sure I like this recording, other classical pieces I like. :P

[SatchmoSings]

@Terrdemarzielle You are correct about Bach being played badly which seems MOST OF THE TIME! lol!

Scroll UP and see what I said to @firebreathone3 about this.

@MisunderstoodSith

[mysweetrarefish]

@MisunderstoodSith Why do you listen this?

[SatchmoSings]

@MisunderstoodSith This is not a good performance; you're new to classical music so you wouldn't necessarily "get this" at first.

Also, while I recognize Bach's genius I don't care for him; my interest in classical music starts with late Mozart/Haydn and then goes directly to Beethoven; he's my favorite.

I skip over Berlioz and Mendelssohn and the go straight for Brahms and Dvorak through to the present. 

[i8O3]

Had to play this last year in 8th grade. DAMN it was hard

[sita978]

OMG SO BEATIFUL!

[ManuelRochaCR]

A genius! :D

[thesupahphresh]

i have to perform this tomorrow im excited it sounds so badass

[BelleNRaezMama]

You're missing half of the concerto!

[raa4566]

nice vid! yep, bach was totally unrecognized until 50 years after his death. it's hard to understand, since his toccata and fugue in d minor are truly LARGER THAN LIFE.

[breah23]

happy birthday Bach!

[AndreaMimi1984]

How many children had Johann Sebastian Bach from his first and from his second marriage ?

-

I like some of his music.

[BigLukeXB]

x files, 2. season, 1. episode :)

[christsminstrel]

It is much better at this tempo.

[waddlewedoo2]

my school's chamber orchestra and I are playing this for NYSSMA majors

[magister61]

Music of the Heaven....

[jmlsongs]

My favorite Bach....stirring, great music for a road trip thru colorado or new england. The genius of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, etc will be here 1000's of years from now while all other forms of " music" will be lost to antiquity.

[salinmt]

@jmlsongs .....It's my favorite Bach too...love it

[hecate141]

@jmlsongs i live in colorado lol!!!!!!

[8DX]

@jmlsongs Hey! We have great modern musicians as well.. don't diss on our current geniuses: what decides that a particular past composer, writer, playwrite, etc. becomes a classic? It's mere history, whatever happened to be on the record. Since everything is digitalised today I think we'll see a much more pluralistic view of past genius.

[twooffour]

@jmlsongs

Bach had been lost for a few hundred years until Mendelssohn decided to dig him out. I suppose we'd have dug him up by now given the intensive research by music historians, anyway, but the point is, making predictions about what music will be popular in 1000 years, is the sure sign of an idiot.

[BlueMonstter]

@twooffour It's not idiotic to say that his music would live for 1000s of yrs .. Aristotle , Socrates , Archimedes lived thousands of yrs ago , their inventions and discoveries were simple... but still they are remembered till today... similarly , bach , beethoven , mozart etc , great people such as Einstein , Martian luther , Artists such as the Beatles , Michael jackson , Elvis ..etc will live forever

[twooffour]

@BlueMonstter

It IS because just as I said, Bach was forgotten for centuries and could easily have remained this way were it not for one man.

People like Einstein or Michael Jackson won't be forgotten because they're already famous and preserved as such in modern media.

[BlueMonstter]

@twooffour you are correct that we wouldnt know bach if it wasnt for one man ..but now , we have his work ...

[TheLizGang]

I love the facts added. It's nice to learn about composers :]

[87Wayne]

I have been a huge fan of JS Bach for many years. Love this Version of the Brandenburg Concerto No 3. Thanks for the upload.

[98KingdomHearts]

when you think about it, both bach and mozart had very miserable ends to their lives. i mean, just watch Amedaus (sp?) that movie is GOOD and the part where he dies is EMOTIONAL! and im only 13!!!

[98KingdomHearts]

when you think about it, both bach and mozart had very miserable ends to their lives. i mean, just watch Amedaus (sp?) that movie is GOOD and the part where he dies is EMOTIONAL! and im only 13!!!

[fivestander]

how can anyone be sad or angry after listening to this?

@OJamesraynor what's a justin bieber?

[SatchmoSings]

@OJamesraynor While I am certainly no fan of Justin Bieber I see no point in ridiculing him; he's certainly no artist but a "mere" Pop Star and quite a successful one, I might add.

McDonald's has served BILLIONS but few people would it admit to it being a legitimate cuisine and yes, I must admit, I do go there from time-to-time.

[fivestander]

how can anyone be sad or angry after listening to this?

[PrInCeShAdE1]

@OJamesraynor  justin bieber???? its bach -.-

[DavePerry2012]

Astonishing. Bravo.

[dogcat126]

i love this version! thank you soso much for posting!!!

[tpocain]

So, Beethoven went deaf and Bach went blind--so sad...:(

[DavePerry2012]

@tpocain Handel went blind too. And Mozart died at 35 of kidney failure.

[carlocrace]

this master piece transport me to other real.... world

[PrInCeShAdE1]

4:05 O.o

[PrInCeShAdE1]

nice i like it he is in the first of greatest composers right?

[DavePerry2012]

@PrInCeShAdE1 Along with G.F. Handel, who was the more famous in their day.

[kVz073]

Magnifico!

[ravenira]

I love playing this on my violin. It' so much fun

[lgallant100]

playing this in my orchestra!!!!! Love it:)

[TitanYa315]

ThankU for the upload :)

[acc96build]

Hey 0OoFACUoO0, who do YOU think is the greatest composer of all time? Just curious

[axelfarias3]

@acc96build because he IS

[acc96build]

@axelfarias3 What do you mean? That the greatest composer is Bach?

[axelfarias3]

@acc96build that is obvious dont you think? I think he was more talented than Mozart or Beethoven but it remains my personal opinion

[acc96build]

@axelfarias3 Yeah, I think he's greater than any other composer that I know of since the 1600s

[WizardKing78]

...And apparently he was not well known during his life.

[Django5198]

can someone please tell me the name of the piece by Bach with the really long violin solo

[KiptaviusFuzz]

@Django5198 BWV 1004...

[Django5198]

@KiptaviusFuzz cheers

[chrissyparks2000]

Other versions on You Tube list this as the first movement. It's not, it's the 2nd movement. The first is a very dark organ piece. The 3rd lasts about 30 seconds and then the fourth movement is a delightful piece that ends this beautiful concerto. And I agree with you all that it sounds better at this speed.

[tessa410570]

So i need to learn how to play this song in a week on the violin. and i cant figure out how to play it correctly. Could somebody help me?

[Faxe90Swe]

@tessa410570 Practise til your fingers are bleeding.

[majav15mg]

4:05 lolololol

[heshnyc1]

@majav15mg LOLlol! thanks for noticing that.. "arrr how much longer do I have to be in this pose?"

[elbiagioni]

Es-tu-pen-do.

[alexwritestube]

A master of music and art, the kind that only happens every 2-300 years! Viva Bach!

[thadea]

Everyone shave your heads and put on a fancy wig...

I love this composition

[camposi]

I think for every Keyboard player Bach is a "Must. Nigel Kennedy wrote in his Bach-Kennedy-CD; Bach´s favourite Instrument was "the viola":! He wqas excellent in any way and I love this peace esoeciakky!. Thanj you Uploader!

[Paddyllfixit]

@camposi

 nice to see the vodka begin to take effect ;-)

[camposi]

@Paddyllfixit

....it was the whiskey that began to take effect. When I hear great music I like to drink good stuff ... and loose control over the keyboard. By the way the best whiskey comes from ireland!

[Paddyllfixit]

@camposi

I like some good stuff with great music too :-)

[classicvinylbiz]

H von Karajan, 1966: Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, BWV 1048 (Allegro) -

watch?v=5_kDg4Ww8So

thanks and regards

[SkybirdStudios]

God, this music is absolutely incredible. I wish today's music was more like this...

[bappabuiebappabuie1]

@SkybirdStudios some of it is, its called metal, and that probably sounds ridiculous but look up eddie van halen, randy rhodes, yngwie malmsteen, steve vai and all the other virtuosic guitarists, thats definitely a lot of classical influence

[camposi]

@bappabuiebappabuie1

It´s most Ingwie Malmsteeen that uses scales of J.S. Bach in his playing and his favourite Composer is J.S. Bach.

[Kraekcae]

@bappabuiebappabuie1 This is Baroque music, not Classical music. Classical music is more towards Mozart, and early Beethoven.

[QNELSON2]

SENSATIONALMUSIC IT IS CALLED ELEVATOR MUSIC. Probably done by some music colllege profesor and performed by his pupils...

[smallsilverware]

holy shit! this is brillant!

[TheSensationalMusic]

CAN ANY BODY WATCH THE FOLLOWING YOUTUBE LINK AND TELL ME WHO COMPOSED THAT MUSIC and What Kind Of Music Is that /watch?v=2i3Ua1gQLmQ

[Machru]

So much better than other hasty, stressed performances! You give the music a chance to live! Thank you!

[Caporacolo]

I absolutely don't have any knowledge about technique and theory of classical music, however i can feel it inside my body and it gives me chills. Also i become much more creative when listening to Bach, Chopin, Mozart, Grieg, Brahms, Vivaldi, Paganini, Tchaikovskyi and many more...it makes my days and it adapts to every feelings you can prove everytime. They really know how to materialize awsomeness in the form of sound waves!

[TheEriekayaker]

@Caporacolo --- I couldn't have said it any better. The Baroque Period is unequalled !!

[Caporacolo]

@TheEriekayaker well, maybe in a better english :P

[JanissarialGuard]

@Caporacolo try studying the technique and theory, it absolutely enhances the feeling of "awesomeness" as you call it, once you get how they had done it, you will marvel in awe how a human had done it. :)

[johnhofi]

Tempo a bit slow. It suggests constipattion, actually, which is hardly commendable in our age of constipation. Perhaps Barney Frank or Senator Dodd would prefer listening to this, for inspiration, or something like that, I mean, it couldn't hurt...

[NorseCrusader]

The tempo is perfect!! Many play this piece with a faster tempo, but why?

It's Bach! What's the rush??

[helenagothicangel13]

That violin...Grr

[bass0111]

Excellent tempo!

[kim12people]

I am playing this song in my advanced strings classs, and theres a bunch of eigth notes!!! and i play the viola, and its still hard!!

[maikyluxery]

ich mag bach. ich bin in seiner heimat geboren. und ich lebe noch immer da. aber das ist echt ne schlechte aufnahme. . . .

[NellyNalle]

Arggg...Tätä pitää harjoitella musan teoriaan.

[Ashlar62]

Let others argue technique...let the uninitiated enjoy the evocative beauty. I know less than squat about music and, yet, I'm still allowed to enjoy the grace of Bach. Glory should be so delightful. Thank you, Bach, and the resident uploader.

[bass0111]

@Ashlar62: The 'Initiated" can learn much from your sage comment!

[Vesman1]

which is the official original version? this one or the faster?

[grafleinsdorf]

@Vesman1 What do you mean by "official original version". The tempo Bach wrote upon this piece is "allegro". Maybe this is somewhat towards the slower end of allegro, but it's definately one possible way to interpret allegro.

[Vesman1]

@grafleinsdorf sorry, I am no music expert, what I was talking about was that before this one I always listened to the version which is played in faster pace so I though it's something like a original

[relientkz3]

I actually like it a lot better when it is slowed down.

But still... It's really fun to play fast :)

[Fredfigglehorn21]

I also play this song we have this song in the second movement also!:)

[TheBiggestDorkEver]

geeze, how many orchestra's are playing this??? Mine is playing this too!!! OMG!!! Wait... kirbywoof, ur in my orchestra lol

[kirbywoof]

THIS SONG ROCKS!!!! It is so awesome playing this however this professinal orchestra sounds much better than my orchestra..... Eventhough i love playing this song

[wobbano2011]

we played this piece last week for our concert....it actually goes this slow because it is the original version of brandenburg :] it's awesome hearing all three parts per section (except for the bass) :] i love this song, it's rly pretty :]

[daubabylon]

is this the original tempo?

[RobinLSL]

@daubabylon: I think Bach only wrote "Allegro Moderato" in the score which is definitely quite vague, so there is no "original" tempo.

[AXSyLN]

With this tempo... its delicious.

[macmacma]

FUCK THIS SHIT IS GOOD

[flukes777]

Bach was a straight -up punk.

[kirbywoof]

i love this piece!!! Bach is awesome!!!! Im playing this in my orchestra!!! it is so pretty!!!

[Brownie508]

my orchestra is playing this... i love bach.

If you compare this to Mozart, its like, Mozart has the dainty old lady music and Bach has the hard core metal. Gah, i love this song so much.

[carlosmeir1]

bellisima pieza,felicitaciones

[RasmusKjaerg]

It is quite slow...

[eeuzzy]

Waaayyyy ttoooo slow

[irferf]

Agreed!
