Pinchas Zukerman: Brandenburg Concerto No.6

[rafaelpastel09]

I really like the slower pace because I feel like I can hear all the notes. This is my favorite recording by far.

[bckm54]

too slow

[snowmen10]

They will play faster if it's 14' size violin rather than 16.3' size violin LOL

[vivasavonarola]

Great Pinchas! He can choose any tempo he likes.....and the beauty comes out.

[violinzylla]

this video must be ancient, isn't Pinchas an older man now? in this video he looks to be about 30 years old. I wonder how he would play this piece now. I wonder if he would still do it with a full orchestra, or if he would do it more historically correct.

[suprematismus]

the best interpretation i heard...just a bit faster would be best

[gustavyeung]

Just found that.... The two violas da gamba were replaced by two cellos.

[ortcutt]

It doesn't sound right without the gambas.

[Zootallure]

In lieu of an applause, the audience decided to hit the performers with a barrage of coughs...

[bckm54]

way too slow...

[BozVar26]

are there any viola da gambas in the performance

[Harmonieuniverselle]

@BozVar26 no :(

[ttomace]

@Harmonieuniverselle ?

[Harmonieuniverselle]

@ttomace There are no violas da gamba in this performance.



[ttomace]

@Harmonieuniverselle o those HUGE violas???!! they r missin? never notice......actually i know very little about stringed instruments.....but still this is a nice interpretation! dont u feel so?

[Harmonieuniverselle]

@ttomace No.

[violinhunter2]

There must be a reason Mehta is conducting here - I just don't know what it could possibly be.

[ttomace]

@violinhunter2 wat do u mean? he is  almost d best condutor

[Nicolette57]

a bit slow and old fashioned really. Bach was not a boring fellow, come to think of it

[chamberviolist]

@Nicolette57 I agree it was a tad slow

[MyZenzero]

sono ipnotizzata...

[Mrababab121212]

The Conductor is unnecessary here - I used to give clues from my harpsichord - waste of money it is and this is what I hate, friends, but to do justice to performance, well done jsb Leipzig

[moproducer]

Bring on the Allegro - 3rd movement! Best part of the composition, and one of the finest moments in all of the Brandenburgs. If you have it, please post it!

[Bautisnemo]

His viola can't sound better +1 million stars.

[betokkikke]

Me too, the sound is so clear and all the musicians and solist of the orchestra are great, but also the unforgettable maestro in front of this magic scene!!!

[182278]

this is slower than most baroque orchestras take this piece. i like this tempo--it makes it much more transparent. you can hear all of the musical intricacies.

[pikachoi2007]

I agree with you

[Dannyalonso2006]

Yes, I only heard this slow tempo once before. I love that I found another performance with this tempo, one can really hear and enjoy the different voices and "conversation" between the instruments.

[zachdellinger]

Amazing!!!!

[cstamitz]

The conductor here is pretty much unneeded. I mean how many players are there?  And these are world class musicians. They could play this music in their sleep.

[lovingee1]

@cstamitz ZUBIN MEHTA is *ALWAYS* needed and always loved and I am sure these two marvelous Violinists are honored to be with him or they would not have accepted. Who would not want to appear with Maestro Mehta for G-d sakes!!!!!

[Fofofogo21]
