This is one of my favourites Brandemburgs concerts. I love this music. Bach is the best.

Bach intentionally didn't include violins in this piece to piss off Prince Leopold, because he was unhappy being kappelmeister for him. After Leopold found out and approached Bach, the following conversation ensued.
Prince Leopold - Why ya gotta be like that, bro?
Bach - Cuz, brah. You're a royal pain in the ass. I wanna work for someone else.
PL - Oh, hell nah, bro. You're stuck here.
JSB - I hope your only son and heir dies of smallpox, brah.
And thus it happened as Bach hoped it would.

This my favorite movement of all of them . . . I love the deep rich sound of the violas and cellos.

Such a frenetic piece. Even after listening to it a bunch of times, it's still difficult for me to keep track of exactly what's going on.
Of course, it's beautiful, I have no idea how anyone could write something that's so busy and yet maintains such a beautiful music. Leave it to Bach, I suppose.

Can you imagine a modern orchestra union's reaction to this concerto: "What, no violins?! And we have to hire three extra violas? Viola what? Viola da gambas?" LOL

No offense to the violin, but I think the instrumentation is perfect. It gives the entire piece a deeper, richer tone.

The woman playing the Viola da Gamba with the ornate neck looks like Mrs. Addams.
Overall however, a very wonderful piece. One of my favorite Brandenburg concertos.
