Bach - Magnificat - 09 - Esurientes

[bersa888]

I remember hearing this at 8... I knew then that, when it came to Bach, I would be in for a treat for the rest of my life.

I think this rarely version of recorder is something new classic. Breath sounds describe like Air, wind and cloud to me. I would like to hear more, if somebody could play easy or naturally. Thank you for sharing this video. I am hungry but I like music...

extraordinary masterpiece from the giant Leipzig Kantor

[Uteliselottechrista]

Sehr schön! Und mit originalen Blockflöte! DAS ist Barockmusik!

[Marzziooo]

Absolutely precious.

[strandhogg]

[pbeng12]

other version's i have heard it seems that this movement was more suductive this seems to me a wham bam thank you ma'am

[paulie017]

I think the tempo is too fast.

[pbeng12]

i agree it's rush i like it when it is nimble and the singer is allowed time to show inflection

[bigjdc]

I much prefer the cd version I have with Robin Blaze singing this.

[ChuckNorrisFan101]

I really don't like the soloist at all.

[emilythe1st]

Huh. A few changes in the alto's part? That's not the Esurientes I know.

[Rik77]

This is from the Eflat version of the magnificat. Bach later re-wrote it in D major replacing the recorders for flutes. There are slight differences between the versions. This version is rarely performed.

[myyhyy]

Funnily enough, this is the version I remember from my childhood...and ever since, I've always felt strange listening to versions where the ending of the melody is different ;)

[richie132]

@Rik77 But why are recorders being used if this is the D major version? and if it where the Eb version then surley the extra movements should be added. I hate it how ton Koopman seems to think he's above Bach's directions e.g. using a chorus, larger scale forces instead of Bach's 3,3,2,1,1 for strings and now using recorders? Rik77 please don't think I'm getting at you, youtube is just so great for venting anger!

[Rik77]

@richie132 Hi Richie, I understand your annoyance. Personally I enjoy some flexibility with music performance. Afterall, a few hundred years have passed and performaing traditions are very different now. I personally don't necessarily just go for absolutely historically accurate performances, but rather good quality informed ones. I think this piece works very well with a few more added strings than Bach would have had but that's my personal taste.
