Perfect sound recording. Violon and harpsichord are tuned in together and balanced. This honours the great musicians. Wonderful listening! Thank you so much.
This is the finest performance of this rarely played sonata (unlike the famous six BWV 1014-19, the harpsichord is notated only as a figured bass line) that I have come across. Menno van Delft's accompaniment supports all the violin's rubati with a simultaneity that is breathtaking, and Shunske Sato's inventiveness with his variations during the repeats of the Allemanda and Gigue is sheer delight.
Very nice of the Mauritshuis to accommodate this recording of this Bach violin sonata in one of their rooms. Sato is a specialist in baroque music as is Menno van Delft as well. So bravo to both Menno van Delft and Sato for this wonderful recording of this special Bach violin sonata.
Although the main instrument here is the violin - which Sato performs its part perfectly and beautifully - we must thank also Menno van Delft the harpsichordist for doing a great job in accompany, and thank both of them for being so amazingly coordinated. Bravi! Thanks NBS for uploading.
Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieser kompakten doch perfekt komponierten Sonate in verschiedenen Tempi mit süßem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der unvergleichlichen Violine und zurückgehaltenem doch schimmerndem Klang des genialen Cembalos. Der letzte Satz klingt echt schön und auch begeisternd. Wundervoll vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
In another of Bach’s masterpieces, we listen to the violin in the lead role, (which is common in Bach violin sonatas), the harpsichord unobtrusively traces it to the very end, from expressive Adagio, through calming Allemande to effective Gigue, once again Johann has given me unspeakable pleasure 🎵😌🎶✨
You might think of BWV 1014-1019 as "violin sonatas," but those works are actually trio sonatas for harpsichord obbligato and violin in which the violin and harpsichord are equals.
Thank you very much for uploading this video. I have to admit that I had never heard this Sonata before and I am truly delighted to have now been able to enjoy it!. Especially the Allemanda is just brilliant. I have a feeling that it will become one of my favourites of Bach’s works. .!
The introduction sounded so much like a Vivaldi concerto, I can't help but wonder if Bach's admiration for the Red Priest influenced his writing here? A wonderful performance, as always!
@@ajmaltaujoo4277 Yes, it seems that the idea comes from that concerto of Vivaldi. You can hear an arrangement for organ in wich Bach worked: ua-cam.com/video/w2upDLfG2Os/v-deo.html
Bach was exposed to a range of serious music and musicians . Italian, French, German, etc Bach combined all that in BWVs. Creating his ingenious music 🎶
il est vrai que ces magnifiques enregistrements gagnent encore, s'il est possible, a faire admirer les différents musées en accord avec le choix des oeuvres. Étonnamment, l'acoustique en sort grandie , le son en est encore plus chaud et vivant! MERCI pour ce cadeau de toutes les Beautés 💜💛🙏✨
Having listened to this sonata again several times in the past two weeks I feel I have done these wonderful performers an injustice because all parts are brilliant. Thak again.
@@soteroalarcon964 they had an intro chord at the very beginning of each show, which most of the time was a completely different key than the piece - it was extremely annoying - probably their video editor had not much to do with music
Ive noticed Baroque tuning below A415 is becoming more common, what is the reasoning for this? I know in some of the NBS Brandenburg videos, its almost at A392, which makes sense due to the fact of French influence in the German court setting. But what is the reasoning here? Love the timbre and color this tuning creates!
Who would Bach be composimg a violin sonata for if not a noble patron? He was employed by the coreigning dukes of Weimar from 1708-1717. The Brandenburg Concertos are merely minor edits to concertos already composed for, or at least performed by, the musicians at the court of the Prince of Anhalt-Cothen when Bach was his Capellmeister (1717-1723).
This piece is not so Bach, more like Vivaldi's. I see this above: "This four-part work with virtuoso violin part immediately raises the question of who Bach actually wrote it for. He is a candidate himself, as the violin was his very first instrument. Or could it have been written for Johann Georg Pisendel, the leading violinist of Central Germany at the time. " Yeah, it rasies my speculation too!
Bad idea to play accompanying chords in 1st movement, which is actually an emulation of a freely improvised prelude. A long held E on a cello or a single rich e minor chord at the beginning on harpsichord would have been enough. I can imagine a violinist improvising this prelude, but a harpsichordist `knowing` in advance what would come next for playing the right chords is implausible. Anyway, in the score the figured bass begins in Adagio only.
The violin part in the 30-measure prelude is written down, and the violinist is playing the notes in the score, despite frequent rubato. The harpsichordist has the score right in front of him, so he can see what harmony comes next, and he and the violinist can give each other cues. I know this because I've accompanied a violinist in this work on harpsichord (without a cello or gamba) A "single rich e minor chord at the beginning on harpsichord" won't last through 30 measures on a harpsichord no matter how rich the chord. The absence of figures in the bass does not imply that no chords should be played unless the composer wrote _tasto solo._ Of course, you're surely more of an authority on continuo playing than Menno van Delft.
@@herrickinman9303 Thanks for the priceless information you gave me (number of bars, what is written in the score, what the hpschdist has in front of him, what "tasto solo" means, etc.), but you obviously missed the whole point. Maybe if you had kept your silence, you would have stayed a philosopher.
@@adrianciuca2547 I correctly pointed out the flaws in your critcism. You took it personally. Sad. I hope you find comfort in your delusion that you know better than Menno van Delft.

Bach was aware and always had an admiration for Vivaldi. Pisendel was a close colleague of Bach and a baroque violin virtuoso himself. The genius and authority we know Bach today as was actually just a composer who borrowed, learned, took, and pastiched all possible styles he heard. The structure actually is still distinctly Bach, but you're right in that pieces like these and the Brandenburg Concertos are his most secular and least "rule-abiding" pieces he has written. The authorship by Bach for BWV 1023 is quite verified nevertheless!
I can't understand why this piece is called sonata rather than Partita.. I know that sonatas or concertos are based in movements like adagio, presto, vivace and so on .. and partitas or suites based on dances like allemande or gigue🤔

The sound quality produced by NBS never ceases to amaze me.

That is perfectly articulated! This performance is outstanding on so many levels.
This video with its music, architecture and paintings on the walls is testament to the zenith of European art.
Sato just makes it look so effortless. Thank you both, and thanks to NBS for this inspiring performance.
The heavenly sound itself!
What a lovely setting for this intense piece
Listening in my living room with the candles lit and waiting for the sun to rise . So exquisitez!
What an incredible interpretation. When you think about a perfect harmony, no doubt you must think in Bach. Thank you.
Eine unglaubliche Interpretation, klar aber nicht selbstverliebt.
Congratulations to maestro Menno van Delft and maestro Shunsuke Sato!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Continuo is always the most important (although usually not the most noticeable) part.

Magnifique ! Je suis d'accord avec Luis Umana : le 1er mouvement sonne très "italien". Et le tout dans un superbe décor . Merci NBS.😇

Superb performance from the harp and violin!
It's a harpsichord

incredible performance as always - bedankt! ...and thank you for removing the foreign key intro chord
Foreighn key chord ? Can someone explain please?

Millions of hours of listening to Bach does make it clear that this is not him I am afraid.

With a selfpotret off Rembrandt van Rijn. That's not Bach, you fools.
Isn't there a Biber Sonata that sounds identical ?
c'est dommage toute la dramatique est tuée par ce mauvais du ''trop de son'' et de la virtuosité creuse
