the motif, like the ever-present threat of an ornate, stinging wasp that flies around and around you, the interplay of the orchestra, the sustained tension of the ensemble - what a piece, what a performance!
THIS performance...is simply superb. To me.....It foundations that GOD in Heaven gives us some completely wonderful gifts....that surly explode with emotion. Thank you for posting this gift. Thank you to all involved !!
Magnificent performance! I recall some pseudo-critic saying that this represents 'Bach having a nervous breakdown'. If so, may all composers have breakdowns such as this!
Those extra left hand gestures in rests by the soloist are a sign that he deserves to be there. Investment. And while I’m writing I hit the 3rd movement and are again flabbergasted by the music. The compositional idea that is repeated in cembalo at 20’03” to 20’30” is an unbelievable revelation that anticipates the end of the piece. These moments are why Bach has his reputation.
Amazing what beauty a quick brain and nimble fingers can create. Wonderful to see it NOT performed on a piano, but instead, on my favourite instrument. Thank you.
at exactly 3:08 there is one beautiful note that I keep coming back to this to hear, maybe go to 3:02 in advanced and start listening. maybe its just me, but it gets me every time.
I've always disliked performances that seem rushed and played too fast. But, listening to this, it seems my early perceptions may have been a bit off. It isn't the speed, necessarily, that makes a performance seem rushed. To me, the clarity with which the piece is played now seems to be the determining factor. The harpsichord in this performance is played very cleanly, without a lot of the overhang of notes that seems to be a holdover from 19th century romantic piano performance. And the orchestra plays very skillfully also, with due attention to separating the individual notes and not slurring them into a mess. Quite a revelation, but I'm glad I could see it!
We won’t agree on this. Despite to say even as listeners grow their preference changes. At your point “clarity of note” trumps momentum and I feel this piece was the closest thing Bach was to an actual rock star. It is a mind blowing show piece of technique, strong downbeat, relentless forward machine of the Baroque instrumental genre. It needs to GO! I mean, even the fact that every movement is in a minor key is so rock and roll.
Jordi Savall & players are part of an immense, deep wave revisiting the Baroque and later periods of string music, with great emphasis laid on vitality and historical accuracy. Learn more at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordi_Savall. I have some of his recordings on CD; anything they do is always profound, playful, and pleasurable!
What a stunning performance and dunno if some of you have noticed: his right hand work often uses 4 fingerings in the style of early Baroque Buxtehude and older organists.
No sé ustedes, pero en lo personal considero que es el mejor concierto escrito para un clavecín hasta nuestros días. Tenía que ser del más grande maestro de la música universal!!! La interpretación de Hantai y de toda la orquesta, es simple y sencillamente extraordinaria. Me parece que el tempo en el que está interpretada esta obra, es el adecuado. Existen versiones más lentas y otras más rápidas, esta me parece que está en su punto. Se escucha con claridad cada nota. Vale la pena que escuchen la interpretación con Trevor Pinock.
Excelsa interpretación. ¡Qué forma de traer a la vida ese pensamiento creativo y ese sentir del Kantor al momento de inspirarse para GENERAR esta obra desde su quehacer y su saber-hacer y que pervive hoy de él! ¿Se imaginaría Bach que hoy su obra sigue causando caudales de fascinación?
@@f.sarastre7491 I actually like Bach better than Telemann, but the fact that everyone knows who Bach is and there are people who've been listening actively to music for 60 years who maybe vaguely know who telemann is... that's a crime.
also. why does god have to be a dude? does the Creator who transcends all human characteristics, including gender (it's in the bible; the original hebrew uses male, female, and plural grammar) HAVE to be a dude? seriously? get a clue.
Eduardo Poblete de Chile, nos quedamos sin conocer al gran Maestro Savall por los acontecimientos acaecidos en Chile, iba a estar en Universidad de Santiago de Chile. Este concierto e interpretación es magnífico, impresionante.... gracias
Very beautiful performance! But also the Orchestral Groups play Quietly, so as not to Interfere with the Harpsichord Soloist, and the Soloist makes Delays so that they can hear him Clearly! And everyone slows down! And neither the orchestra players nor the soloists can unfold and show their capabilities! I understand why everyone uses Piano now! The piano has a much fuller sound and gives opportunities for both Powerful Periods and Powerful Partnerships and "Conversations" both with Individual Groups and with the Whole Orchestra!!! And that's why it's Very Important for both the Conductor and Everyone to be aware in advance, When, What to do!!! Excellent Concert, a lot of Mind, Time, Fine Rehearsals and Work they put in!!!
i’ve been on this same YT account since 2005 and i’m still confounded by “thumbs down” on virtuoso classical performance videos. not only is the harpsichordist and ensemble ripping through the material, but the audio and video production is excellent (perhaps a close mic on the soloist would help). certainly an absolute devotee of baroque music could have strong opinions….but wouldn’t such an individual simply make a comment or even better, save their comments for an essay or article rather than make a cheap gesture like “thumbs down”? but then we come to general trolls…..but why are they here? why would 46 random idiots with nothing else to do land on this concerto in the first place? ah, internet…ah, world….you are strange.
I don't get it????? He ABSOLUTELY DEMOLISHED that harpsichord yet it is unscathed and still standing? What an absolute POWERHOUSE of a player, and an instrument!
@@Rilberich How can you even quantify best musician? Try to explain how is he is better than literally everybody else and you will quickly see how silly that statement is.

Esos músicos podrían haber prescindido de la supuesta dirección de Jordi Savall, maestro de la viola da gamba. Zapatero a tus zapatos. Soberbios del primero al último de los intérpretes. Pierre Hantaï toca desde la madurez y libertad!!
Wrong era, and wrong nation. Bach, unlike Beau Brummell, actually earned (belated) fame based on extraordinary talent, not on affectation and pretense.
An amazing example of Bach's supreme compositional ability!!!
the motif, like the ever-present threat of an ornate, stinging wasp that flies around and around you, the interplay of the orchestra, the sustained tension of the ensemble - what a piece, what a performance!
Jordi Savall knows how to revive ancient music and to attract modern audience. This is a spectacular interpretation in structure and expression.🤩
0:00 I. Allegro
7:47 II. Adagio
13:31 III. Allegro
thank you
Wow, one of the best, if not the best harpsichord concerto written by the Baroque genius!... wish i could play the harpsichord!
Pierre Hantaï, harpsichord

"Pseudo-critic"... love it! I think there's more of those than serious critics in the arts
Fuck him.
👍🤣
Yes, John, the unmistakable sign of a pseudo-critic: sneering in the face of sublimity.
Hallelujah! God be praised for Bach's life and work!
magnificent..bach magnificent, solist magnificent savall magnificent..

To Beautiful for Words ... Relief to hear this magnificent piece played on the instrument it was intended for.
but maybe see also the CD "FIORI MUSICALI"........
What a brilliant performance! The best of this (on of my favorites) piece ever.
Great composer, great piece & great performers, everyone in this video is a fantastic performer from the soloist to the violist!
Bravissima! 💐💕❤️🌺❤️💕💐
Best rendition of my work!
LOL I love it!

It is not only you, same for me. Actually; these couple of notes brought me here !
Is it the interrupted cadence?
Keep shredding harpsichord guy
I agree
Hell Wraith Pierre Hantai AKA one of the finest harpsichord players of our time.
@@sh1k4n keep shredding, finest harpsichord guy of our time

That being said, this performance is rushed and played too fast.
@@djmotise no, sorry it is not.
It is overall played with an alabreve 2/2
A kind of stable train .......
@@jsb7975 No, I don't think it is too rushed - it is crystal clear, confident and virtuosic. I'm sure Bach would be smiling up there.
robertm2000 much slower than jean rondeau's performance anyway

Excelente interpretación, Bach es incomparable, apoteósico, de otra dimensión, su música es magia real, el milagro mas grande de la música...
wonderful music of bach and wonderful orchestra !!!
un Bach de magnificence,admiration sans réserve
Absolutely the best performance of this masterpiece on YT ! Thank so much Mika...
Couldn't agree more!
@@demetruladima7077 Jean Rondeau;s version is well beyond that one !
Patel Pelat i think both are equally interesting but sure on rondeau's version the metric is spectacular
this is truly a feast for the senses. I feel as though someone is tickling and plucking my brain
I knew only the first movment but the whole piece is awesome
it's Bach...
Wonderful recording!
Crystallized Bach ! Magnificent !
I really Love this Piece. That's a masterpiece!

How so?
@@jlapierremusic I believe early baroque performers avoided thumb.
@@missvivaldi do you have any article or video relating to this? I can understand why you wouldn’t want thumb fingering in certain textures.
This was transfixing!! The fragile balance between the harpsichord and the strings section got me trippin'...
demetru ladima
Incredible Performance!!!!
Magnificent performance!
Absolutely fantastic !
I believe the harpsichordist is the actual conductor.... but Robert de nero is the assistant..... it was SUPERB performance for all on that stage

Absolut GENIAL!!!Großartig!!!
Perfekt! Solche Musik ist einfach nur Gold!
lo dedico a tutti queli che si ostinano a eseguire il BWV 1052 con un pianoforte!
An amazing performance!
Harpsichord supremacy
The harpsichord is one of my favourite instruments. The tonal color is different, rather like looking at a colour a different way.
My God this piece is amazing❤❤❤❤❤

GOD created Johann Sebastian Bach and HE saw that it was good!!!
UMBUBA Lmfaooooooooo!!!! That was on POINT!!
That God saw Telemann, too. HE saw better yet.

La más bella e intensa interpretación que he escuchado
Pierre Hantaï on harpsichord...magnificent.

Awesome
I think I've got this on a CD. I prefer a louder harpsichord, but definitely in my top three recordings. I love the presentation of this ensemble!
I do think the conductor paid too much attention to the score, as though he were sight reading...
*L O R D F O O G T H E 2 S T*
Amazing, congrats To Mr Savall
박진감 넘치는 연주
Rigtig skøn musik at lytte til . Lige ind i øret.......

Pięknie zagrane!
Savall is the best musician alive
Oh please. What a dumb thing to say. And about a conductor no less.
@@djmotise How is it dumb ? Savall is a gambist, not only a conductor...
darren motise Savall is one of the top musicians alive: and, yeah, he’s a musician (viola de gamba) foremost.
@@Rilberich How can you even quantify best musician? Try to explain how is he is better than literally everybody else and you will quickly see how silly that statement is.
I love this!
Think where such a thing as a “keyboard concerto” was at Bach’s time. It wasn’t a new instrument, but Jeepers this was so beyond anything anyone had ever heard, surely?
Felt the string leaders were trying to push the soloist and I agree with them.
Felicitaciones a Jordi Savall
👏 Thank you! ✊
Magnífico ❤
sin duda el mejor
I just realized that a Bach composed more than 1000 pieces LOL
Savall ❤
Super!!!
Vauuuuuuuu superrrrrrr
brutal
Wspaniale!

Wrong era, and wrong nation. Bach, unlike Beau Brummell, actually earned (belated) fame based on extraordinary talent, not on affectation and pretense.
Je pense que le nom de M. Kolja Blacher devrait apparaître dans le titre de la vidéo.
