Bach - Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G major BWV 1049 - 1. Allegro

[hanzabass]

Maybe an old recording, but still very good in its own way

[charlieyoung1988]

From the following analysis shows "the perfect plan and facade of the Cathedral", A1 to A4 is from the west gate to the east altar. A3 is the across of the plan. It is the original part and form several variations. Because it has a strong sense of line, or the time, or the equal space, which could refer to the first dimension. Due to the polyphony music, which could regard there is another dimension, refer to the horizontal space. The last is the different elements which refer to vertical space.

[charlieyoung1988]

So I want to use the symbols to express the structure of the music. I suggest that the alphabets distinguish the subjects and others parts. 'm' refers the minor variations.

A1-A2-A1-A3-A4-A1-A4;

B1-A1'-B2-A2'-B3-A3'-A4m;

A1m-A4m;

C1-A1m-A2m-A1-A4;

B1'-A1''-B2'-A2''-B1'-A3''-A4;

C2-A1m-A4m

A1-A2-A1-A3-A4-A1-A4

[charlieyoung1988]

The Plan is divided into four parts; and there are two Transepts with the main hall come up with the Latin Cross. The main hall was also divided into six parts by the four rows of huge posts. Therefore the subject and variation, also the different subjects formed. While the spaces were not completely divided, instead they have their connection with others.

[charlieyoung1988]

Study Bach's work should also study the theology, the philosophy, even the math. Bach's works belong to these. Like This piece of music major in G, has a perfect and complex structure, just like the structure of Cathedral. I wrote a paper in my university about the comparison the structure between the cathedral and some Bach's works. And I drew a Isometric of the Chartres Cathedral on a paper (Using the Plan and elevation). Some amazing things showed on the paper.

[Bach261]

The recorders are very mechanick (clockwork). Teribble.

[Yrrats]

[hapzone]

...and David Cameron on harpsichord...

[PetrusLucretius]

Karl Richter, what a delight hearing his interpretations of the music of J.S.Bach...

[20ducados]

In my opinion, this is the best concert I have heard.

[AhamBrahman]

No one writes music like Bach...he is in a complete realm of his own. I love chopin, mozart, beethoven, lizst, debussy, vivaldi...etc. Flat out, no one touches him. His genius is so beyond its amazing he even existed at all. Every instrument talks to every other instrument in a dynamic web of sound and counterpoint. Its so godly.

[outsidemendham]

The recorder flutist looks like Buddy Holly.

[Yrrats]

@outsidemendham Everyone with glasses like that looks like Buddy Holly;-) (I return here over and over again to enjoy this divine piece of music)

[madamewho]

Because my taste in classical musical is now more mature, more refined, only now I've began to listen to Bach: and boy am I glad I started with the interpretations of Karl Richter!

[florida4marion]

This is my favorite of the Brandenburg concerto's, I love the recorders especially, and the violins, it comes together beautifully. I could listen to this over and over and never get tired of it.

[ballyawful]

Thanks very much for uploading.

[redbrian3655]

Listening is sequence, I find hat I really enjoy this relaxed tempo starting No.4 after a furious conclusion on No.3.

[gianm73yout]

Ragazzi, che Maestri! Che potenza. Impossibile da trovare su strumenti d'epoca. Per questo oggi siamo particolarmente fortunati nel poterci godere incisioni come questa ma anche come quelle di Harnoncourt e Pinnock....

[spactick]

In all the history of music, no one stands taller than Bach. And he managed to find time to produce 20 children as well. WOW...... now that's amazing. *



[Yrrats]

@spactick That's easier for a man then it is for a woman....

[spactick]

@Yrrats I think Mrs. Bach would agree with you. :)

[DarkLoveFashion]

For melodies as beautiful as this Bach is my idol.

[dantakli]

baroque and roll!

[domyaska]

bellissimo pezzo !!thanks for sharing !!

[leporello56]

Wow!

[kniphofia]

Richter is superb!

[TuboEspectador]

I am in awe every time I hear (or especially watch) Karl Richter and the Münchener Bach Orchester play.

It is lush, rich and red-blooded Bach!

Dylan Thomas: "Johann Sebastian Mighty Bach!" (from Under Milk Wood)

[tritonusgesang]

Das schönste aller Brandenburgischen Konzerte!

Wunderschön!

[YevgeniyAlexey]

"...but not bad at all! "

And I tell you, when people are tired of and fed up with the currently dominant ideology they will return remorsefully to Richters approach of making music. Not to Richters style but to his understanding of music and performance.

[Yrrats]

@YevgeniyAlexey "the currently dominant ideology" I'm really curious what you mean by that. I so often notice that I prefer older classical records to cd's I buy nowadays. But what is the diference, can you explain?

[unagondolaunremo]

we were playing with this style long long time ago! it is so old that it seems modern! but not bad at all!
