Tafelmusik performs J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No 3 (1st & 2nd movement)

[hoockaloo]

I personally love how one can see that the performers are playing this masterpiece of Bach's with period bows, likely period instruments (I am not a luthier nor do have a large enough exposure to instruments to know off-hand), and they're playing sans vibrato!

[HoodieNinjagirl]

Beautiful. Simply Beautiful.~

[Jobearro]

Just great!

But the cameramen!

[ElectricPyroclast]

Tafelmusik ist Deutsch. Interesting name... means "boardmusic" in English.

[Matt940512]

Very nice...! :)

[tafelmusik1979]

@Matt940512 Thanks!

[Matt940512]

@tafelmusik1979 you´re welcome! We played something simillar - also Bachs third Brandenburg... but with guitars... :)

[tafelmusik1979]

@Matt940512 cool! Is it on youtube? send me a link.

[dawnIove]

We're playing an arrangement very similar to this in my high school orchestra. I love it!

[KhagarBalugrak]

Who is that hot busty young cellist? She's not one of the "regulars" for this ensemble.

[redbrian3655]

I could watch the continuo player the entire performance. I love his body bounce. He relishes the music.

[witchcraftlord]

ok, lets break it down simple, IF YOU CAN PLAY VIOLIN, send me a message? im trying to start a baroque chamber ensemble, like Tafelmusik, they are from Toronto, and so am i

[KevlarKoated]

this beat is from, "xzibit: symphony in x major"

[octopussperm]

where was the second movement??? I didn't hear it!!! But that was beautiful

[stpd1957]

@octopussperm

It starts at 5.55

Enjoy.

[Aznpengy]

Is that cello dude on the far left a guy or a girl???

[singeopeneye]

Were playing this music in my orchestra at school. I love it. ^.^

[slothfat]

Has that 3rd cellist ever played with Apollo's Fire? Because according to your website, she is not one of the cellist on their if i'm not mistaken, and when I went to see Monteverdi's Vespers, I'm almost positive she was playing cello with Rene Schiffer.

[RobinHautbois]

MrJohnnyLeith: lets see you prove that!

[ichBINeineBerliner]

They're obviously robots.

[witchcraftlord]

that huming sound in the mix is horrible, you can hear it better during the little interlude at the end, the violin solo

[MrJohnnyLeith]

May just be me, but they seem more professional without sheet music.

[chesee123]

@MrJohnnyLeith no really they actually arent that good i can play at that level wiouth the music sheet and im only 14 years old

[tafelmusik1979]

@chesee123 I would have to agree with @RobinHautbois.

[octopussperm]

@chesee123 I highly doubt that, because, 1 you are 14 years old, 2 you don't know if @MrJohnnyLeith is a professional himself, and 3, what you type on a computer screen in the comfort of your home, library, ect... would definitely change if confronted by a "smack talker" in real life. One more thing... you are spelling impaired.

With Love,

Octopusspermm :D

[witchcraftlord]

OH CANADA

[butterfingers6m]

OMg.. They memorise the score.. Haha!

[xXiNeekoXx]

its funnier watching students play cuz they have bad tuning that u can laugh at... this its just so pro so theres nothing bad that i can say... :(

[azworx]

@xXiNeekoXx LOL I definately agree.. but I'm not a student, I'm an advanced player who happens to be young.

[xXiNeekoXx]

@azworx no

[13orthanc13]

[ESZTERGOM99]

This baroque music is very interesting....thanks for posting it !

[fredosterman1]

[animal1314]

I love the energy that they pay with!

[BAJJMiller]

That was an amazing cadenza.

[twooffour]

@Divinesque

There is absolutely nothing staggering about playing from memory.

[whyismyIDinvalid]

[PeriodinstrumentfaN]

Baroque Bands are so elegant !!! ...and without the "permanent fever" !!! :)

[titanic6712]

[UlimorUdamenta]

Love it! no matter how numerous my viewing this video, i get tired of watching it... Forgive the grammar...

[Harmonieuniverselle]

I can't hear or watch you enough ! So pleasing !

[tailspin37]

What an uplifting experience; Pure joy.

[peres010492]

Wonderful performance. And I'm quite amazed by the fact that all of them (except the harpsichordist) are playing without any score :O The entire Brandenburg

[cutefidgety]

choirs do that all the time =p

[HARMONICO101]

Love the cadenza for the second movement. :)
