One of my fav pieces of all time! I love the voicing sounds you chose.. Modern yet not too "synthy" .. true to the original instruments, yet with more clarity.. VERY well done!!!
Thank you Dan. I used semi-imitative timbres to give a more natural feel to the whole thing but I didn’t want it to sound too real. This new version does indeed have more clarity in part to the stereo positioning of the instruments across the audio panorama. I’m pleased with the clearer interplay of the 3 leads. I appreciate that you were able to experience what I was intending to do. Thanks so much for listening and taking the time to comment.
What a wonderful way to spread the Gospel, indeed, Jesu Juva! With gigabytes of Bach on mostly Moog synthesizer even the dogs in my neighborhood seem to acquire an inkling of culture 😘
Thanks Geo. I’m working with hearing aids and headphones now so at least for the moment, I’m able to keep working. Just need some new inspiration… discovering new works (such as Osanna in excelsis - my previous upload) to keep me going.
@@CareyRMeltz very happy to know, You are able to continue with your passion, and I am sure also, to the great appreciation of Your audience . I will check out Your other new uploads. Thanks so much for sharing so many great videos, in the many Years I have been following Your work. Namaste.
Gorgeously rich, and yet subtle, in the beautifully wrought slightly contrasting textures of timbre. Kudos ! several months later adding...Listening again today. SO GREAT ! ! ! ! out shines W Carlos. !
Isn't it funny how everyone (me included) thinks this is just a harpsichord concerto, and then when you work on it you realise it is as much a violin and flute concerto as an harpsichord? Really if it wasn't for the long cadence it would be a triple concerto.
Thanks for your kind words. I listened and reviewed the visuals at the point you referenced and it all seems fine. Perhaps it’s a note in the “Double bass” line (purple) that’s catching your ear?
Perhaps is only the an effect of "trillo" on the penultimate bar before "Tutti", flute A/violin B, that my ears perceive slightly below pitch; but it's only a personal feeling, surely wrong, your interpretation is really great! Bravissimo!
Beautiful, as always! And I hear you when you say you spent a lot of time in micro adjustments. Been there. :) EDIT: listening to your version and my version side to side I now wish I did not use as much reverb.
Thanks so much for your comment. I love your work and can definitely understand the work you put in shaping the “performance” of a piece. I very much like the timbres you created in your version… familiar though without changing up at every new phrase… let’s you hear the melodies and counterpoint without it all becoming gimmicky. Of course we always wish we would have done something differently but that’s what a new version is for (some UA-cam users have done multiple versions of the same piece)… but as far as your concern over reverb, I only paired mine back a bit (on the soloists) to give more clarity. With every new project I learn something for the next time. Your version is sensational! I chose to keep my voicing quite imitative to let Bach’s brilliance shine through in a specific stereo experience. Your work brings all the interest of an electronic presentation with bright an complimentary timbres. It’s mixed and mastered with perfection… and your use of reverb is absolutely spot on; it enhances things over all. I look forward to your next upload.
@@CareyRMeltz Thank you so much! It means a lot coming from you... I only learned from the masters :) You're right that one always would like to revise their work and publish new versions, it's an irresistible urge. You seem to go towards being slightly more true to the original, in terms of choices of sound, although in my mind the "original" (the one with real violins) and Wendy Carlos' version are now blurred into one. It's incredible how a synthesizer version 50+ years old has become a classic. Either way your version is full of joy, it's a true testament of the solar nature of this piece, which to me screams happiness. I can't thank you enough for being the inspiration of this form of creation, that has become highly satisfying for me, especially because, as I'm sure you've experienced yourself, it is literally limitless, both in scope and in the opportunity to learn new things. I thought I would need to be an instrumentist, I realised I also needed to be a sound designer, a composer, a mixing engineer, an orchestrator, a mastering engineer, a video maker, a producer. I love this.
@@OrzoMondo And You have already mastered all of those disciplines. Your content, including text, and voice over is as good or better than anything I have seen on TV. Even though I love and cherish some of those early Canadian broadcasts by Glenn Gould,.. they are almost funny in their erudite remoteness. I enjoyed Your video's on Bach and Synthesis, for their very earnestly, and honestly reported internal dialogue, that many of us who are found on these pages of synth - Bach uploads have also had in our heads , (or similar) and had not put them into words or at least had almost no one to discuss them with. Carey ALWAYS amazes me with the historical facts related to his content. He is a fabulous researcher!
@@Geopholus My wife always says the content I make is, (her affectionate words), "very niche". It's true, we'll never have millions of subscribers, but I'm glad we have very appreciative ones :)
Absolutely a supernatural masterpiece. You don’t have to make anything you perform any better. You already top the cake as the best skilled performer on Bach’s masterpieces! God richly bless you my awesome anointed magnificent brother! God is very pleased with you my precious friend! He loves you so much my friend! Let Him shower you with blessings from on High! Awesome, awesome blessed young man!!!

Fabulous! Good tune from JSB, excellent syth version, wonderful visualization. Bravo!
So glad to hear this version! Brilliant as always.... I didn't think You would be able to stay away. THANKS for ALL You do!

Love the revision!
Flutes and harpsichord are much brighter and contrast bass so well
Thank you so much. I’m glad you noticed the differences.
Gorgeously rich, and yet subtle, in the beautifully wrought slightly contrasting textures of timbre. Kudos ! several months later adding...Listening again today. SO GREAT ! ! ! ! out shines W Carlos. !
Mesmerising! I love the visualisation.
And that solo gets me every time!
Thanks so much. It’s really satisfying to “see” the notes, especially in that solo.
the revamped version well done
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.

Thank you very kindly.
Bravo, magnificent.
Thanks so much.
Excellent version! Thank you :)
I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Thank You.
Fantabulous
☺️
Beautiful performance! Instrumental timbres are excellent! Visualization clear and intuitive. Likely I'm wrong, but I heard something odd @4.34.

@@TristanUndTantris Yeah, rapid trill and one hears something between pitches, but it's perfect.
