Bach - Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B-flat major BWV 1051 - 1. Allegro - 2. Adagio ma non troppo

[bckm54]

the bowings are interesting compared to other videos i've see, particularly with the violone/bass and gambas...

[bckm54]

@bckm54 and I don't remember which bowings are correct...it's been over 40 years since i've played it (both lead viola parts...obviously not simultaneously...:) )

[estaeheli]

These guys are incredible, and this is the most sublime piece of Bach I've ever heard. 

[lispectorando]

I would do the first cellist.

[FedericoAndreas]

@lispectorando cos we're cellist :D

[gothicgrowler]

@lispectorando there's only one cellist...

[torrestoledolucas]

I love this cello parts.

[MatthiasAletharch]

This is a marvellous performance, and I concur with all the previous comments: the excellent playing and sound mixing really let you hear every single line with great clarity. If only this performance were on CD!

[mayertamas91]

Just how Bach is meant to be played.

[jddrew1000]

I like this version better because you can hear each and every part with ease. Even the viola da gambas whose parts I've been desperate hear

CITA OBLIGADA PARA TODOS LO QUE AMAMOS LA

MUSICA!!

[Bentland]

versão dura, à base de cronômetro..isso deve fluir mais..e aqui parecem mais com uns sodadinhos tocando

[werthersamsa]

@Bentland pouquíssima gente consegue imprimir beleza às versões "metronômicas", só se for um gênio como Karl Richter ou Glenn Gould

[Samoriah]

I have never heard this piece played so well before.

[butterfingers6m]

Why the harpsichord/cembalo sounds like stick knocking each other? LOL! but nice though.. i love the sounds that the viola produces!

[LatinMass2010]

@butterfingers6m Oh, I understand what you are saying. Many Cembalo have a "lute stop." He pulled out the lute stop and the strings are muted with leather. It makes it sound more like a lute, but really more like the strings are rubber bands!!! Lol

[musicspotAT]

Just for your info:

the fabulous 1st violist Herbert Blendinger (left), who soon will be celebrating his 75th anniversary, is suffering from several strokes for 20+ years and had to abbandon playing completely. He then concentrated more on composing - and is a reknowned composer on his own. This fine recording must be already from the 70ties.

[UndefendableDefender]

This is great because the 2nd viola brings out his part so you can really hear how it's a chase.

[chomskyFTW]

I bet Karl was thinking "geez, it was fun to be the most important soloist in the last concerto. It really sucks that I have to play the same Bb chords most of the movement."

[redbrian3655]

@chomskyFTW Yrah, even the great ones need more than a chord once in a while!! LOL

[redbrian3655]

@chomskyFTW Yeah, even the great ones need more than a chord once in a while!! LOL

[twooffour]

@chomskyFTW

That's barawk rawk!!

[robertcouturier]

Just heavenly..

[ajdicks]
