Rudolf Koelman & Alexander Kerr (violins) playing the 2nd movement of the J.S. Bach double concerto in d-minor BWV 1043. Conductor: Philippe Herreweghe in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam
I love this wonderful piece of music! Hearing it played without any correpetition at a family celebration, I had to weep, because it sounded so wonderful...
I thought this was played slightly fast too. I played this for a recital as a teenager and we played a bit slower. I still love playing this and it is my favorite and has so much sweetness. I always love hearing the buzz in my ear when the notes are hit in perfect harmony.
I actually love this tempo! It has such swing to it, and the phrases make so much sense when you can get the big picture. This is so different from the usual luxuriating that most other performers do in this movement, yet still just as beautiful. I wonder if Koelman and Kerr have studied baroque violin- their interpretation seems very historically informed.
too fast!

beautifully played and goose bump stuff but volume, as is often the case, is lacking

This is extremely concentrated violin playing full of moving rythm and swing.

Kerr likes to move around a lot more in comparison to Koelman. Does that have anything to do with Koelmans studying with Heifetz?
A wonderful piece and interpretation.:)
