[Aurenier]

Qualität nicht Quantität.

Es ist eine warlich schöne Komposition doch mir ist es etwas zu widerholen .. eintönig

Antonini is conducting as a monkey.. What a strange solution: so a bad conductor with so a fine orchestra!

[hezixiao]

@gigimaschile My friend, Giovanni Antonini is the director of the great Il Giardino Armonico. Conducting Baroque music can differ quite radically from modern conducting for deep reasons. The Baroque culture is just so distinct from our time that the cultural expressions might seem strange.

I personally find romanticized Baroque music very disturbing. But I'm impressed how the world's top symphony orchestra can produce such an authentic performance. This has to do with the direction of Antonini!

It's always interesting to hear chamber music played by a scaled - down symphony orchestra esp one as great as the Beliner Philharmoniker. However doing so places the performers in some VERY illustrious (chamber orchestra) company indeed soooo I'm always left with the question: does this music really need a conductor?

[khi590]

I suppose Bach would rather enjoy to listen to these guys

[koorokun]

Who is the concertmaster?

[BerlinPhil]

@koorokun It is Daishin Kashimoto.

[koorokun]

@BerlinPhil Thank you ;)

[DuduKorg]

the conductor looks so young, but have silver hair...

[khi590]

@DuduKorg ...yes, some get grey with twenty-five....but the music is much older

[GiladPellaeon]

@DuduKorg

Giovanni Antonini was born in 1965 ;)

Its a pleasure to listen and look to the performance of this great orchestra!

The 2nd oboist has an unusual style of vibrato.... moving the entire instrument rather than producing it in the throat or diaphragm.

@LonEdward

true, but still ...excellent playing!

[hydrademian]

[anzdf]

Maravilloso.

Gracias

[manuelspcool]

the baroque music is so delicious and colorful, I'm completely in love with it =')

[shib340]

@manuelspcool true, but sometimes, that's why i don't like it

[LeonardWerkheiser]

How come very few people mention the orchestral suites of Bach when they are this wonderful? I mean,Brandenburg concerts aren't Bach's only masterpieces...

[aleksanderjal]

Bach: instant likementness.
