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...

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

@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.

@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!

Absolutely precious.

Well I like it...Im adding this one to my favorites.



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.
