Bach - Musical Offering, 6 Part Fugue - Munchinger
Loading...
Uploaded by LDixon007 on Aug 26, 2010
The final movement of the Musical Offering, a 6 part fugue, also known as a 'ricercar'. It is based on a theme, written by Fredrick the Great, which is almost a chromatic 'tone-row'.
Karl Munchinger conducts the Stuttgarter Kammerorchester.
The image is Albrecht Durer's 'Melencolia'.

The chromaticism could go both ways - to difficult to harmonise sensibly or so many options it's a doddle.

I longed for a full strings orchestra version! A fine performance!

Oh Joy, Oh Bliss,Oh Heavens, such beautiful pictures passing through my mind while listening to this

@ChalieChaplin Indeed. I'd go still farther. I'd say 'A Musical Offering' is one of very greatest creative achievements ever produced by any human at any time in any medium.

That's nice.

@alienalienss - I suppose it's Munchinger's ~ but it's been played in similar orchestral fashion by so many conductors, that Munchinger may have been following some earlier transcription. Of course, Webern's famous transcription has quite a different feel than all the others I'm referring to. I will look into this some more.
