@Anna Dayton And with the wretched pop "music" of today, we HAVE gone "Bach"! But with a good Liszt of the classics, we can get a much better Handel on great music, otherwise life, as I'm sure you know, would B-flat!
@@captebbtide Enjoyed your witty comment! My first love is baroque music but I do enjoy modern music in all it's form (if I can see some real creativity. But the again, who am I to judge).
@@concretejungle7513 You have every right to judge! I believe you have an excellent taste in fine music, thank goodness we have UA-cam to help us refine our experiences with classical music.
Or handel,, I adore the baroque period, if I had to choose from a favourite I always styugge trying to choose by between Bach or Handel or even telemann, or actually Vivaldi,, he hs SO much more than 4 seasons, but yes a life without Bach would be unthinkable
There is something that feels so genuine about this recording, you can tell they really love and feel the music they are playing. Especially the harpsichordist haha
@@yonatanbeer3475 Can't blame them. There are too many panists or violinsists out there, and there's a need to stand out. Assuming that's what you meant by "popular instruments".
Dear Kristine! This recording made me crying, it makes me remembering to a music school competition concert when I was around 18, and I was playing Bach's BWV1033 on a treble recorder. When I was playing that sonata's 3rd movement, I saw a couple sitting in the last row. Then I was watching them, and played it for them. After the piece, I was crying a bit. I could not learn this one [bwv1034 in this video] when I was a kid, I didn't have the score, and even I couldn't play the highest Fis note on my cheap alto recorder. I had a CD, and this Bach e-minor was the favourite track on that disc. It was an album of a local trio, with a harpsichord, a viola da gamba and a recorder player. My music teacher told me not to learn professional recorder music even I'm talented, because in my country (Hungary) musicians aren't well paid, and I was also talented in electronics, so I learned electrical engineering, and later, pipe organ building. Now I can afford a better recorder, and sometimes I play in a local church orchestra, in some Bach church music containing a recorder part. I've found an old recording when - as a teenager kid - I've played Vivaldi's sopranino recorder concerto in c-major.[edit: the video is on my UA-cam channel.]
Every flutist admits that Bach's flute sonata in e-minor is very excellent. Especially, regarding 4th movement Allegro, despite the fact that it's so hard for modern flutists, she is playing it so brilliantly and accurately. It's very astonishing . Besides, her alto recorder performances are extremely artistic. From Tokyo
West's recorder playing in the andante is brilliant( the whole composition is masterpiece but for me it's all about the andante) but I think credit also needs to be given to the continuo players and the sound engineers as well. The harpsichord accompaniment is fluid and alive- it can sound very square and clunky in other recordings. West is superb at unspooling an exquisitely connected thread of sound, her tone and control are amazing. Wrenchingly beautiful. Bravo all!
I do love all musicians here...their emotional way of playing. The Allegro must be very difficult to play...especially for the recorder. I do like the soft and fluent way of playing. Professionally!
Heavenly music from JS Bach performed beautifully by the original instruments trio, bravo. The original is in e minor for baroque flute transposed into g minor for playability on the alto recorder. This used to be one of my own favorite "show-off" recorder sonatas at many concerts for its technical virtuosity and beauty. Pure fun to play!
Masterful playing by all three musicians! Yes, the alto recorder is a serious instrument! Bravi! (And what a visually and acoustically fabulous setting!)
El Océano llamado Bach no para de sorprenderme, incluso piezas menores de las que nadie ha oído hablar son preciosas obras maestras que nos hacen recordar que Él es el Océano del Arte.
As wonderful as the recorder is in this performance - and it truly is! - the thing that struck me was the cello playing. It's so good, you almost don't notice it, it sort of merges with ... something. Beautiful, all three!
The Andante is pure sublime joy. This trio creates music that is so exquisitely beautiful; it's beyond words. I play the recorder, but what I play would sound like squabbling cats next to Kristine's angelic phrases.
They are not period instruments. they are copy's/facimiles of period instruments. So they are actually more accurate to use than period instruments. Bach would have used brand new instruments. Woodwind instruments do not ripen over time on the contrary.... they deteriate over time and become unplayable. harpsichords do ripen over time so they would sound a bit different from the new harpsichords Bach would have heard. Period harpsichords however are extremely expensive and even tho their sound ripens over time ..... the mechanic action doesnt. they are unreliable and have too much issues in the action and tuning instabilities.
The music is absolutely beautiful -- great technique and attention to musicality -- but may I also add that I LOVE the choice of your outfit and how it perfectly complements the surroundings, the harpsichord, and the music style. Bravo.
Oh how much darker the world would be without Bach!! Well played!
I can't even imagine a world without Bach.

Finally some recorder players with no identity crisis ... clean and very beautiful !!
what do you mean?
genio
@@elishevatauber8914 people who play popular instruments often feel the need to overexpress themselves and it ends up making the piece sound worse.

@@user-dc1ud6px3s yeah, precisely.
6:07 my favorite part. She sounds like a lovely bird. I come back and listen to this vid all the time.

Thank for your beautiful memory. I am a physics teacher in Viet Nam and hope to be like you, a pipe organ builder.

A bit!?
I bawled my eyes out!!!!
Dammit man!
I'm fifty times more sensitive than you!

I hope next year's better.

si.
3:28 the harpsichord harmonising with the recorder! Fabulous.
I needed to listen to this today - it lifted my spirits and reminded me that there is great beauty in life.
Yet again, Michajeru, I totally with your comment about the beauty of the music and playing.
The harpsichord player is having a great time! Great performance!
If you played harpsichord you’d be making those faces too

An excellent group of very musical and skillful musicians. They have a great Baroque sensibility.
5:07 - and for just a few seconds everything in the world seemed right and perfect...
BACH BACH BACH! And three musicians who know how He must be played. Thanks for me and Unser Vater JS BACH!
I do love all musicians here...their emotional way of playing. The Allegro must be very difficult to play...especially for the recorder. I do like the soft and fluent way of playing. Professionally!
Bravo!! 💥✨👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

What kind of recorder is she playing? Sounds so unique and awesome.
this is so beautiful, i didn't expect to cry but i couldn't stop
Love all the parts but, especially the Recorder. Wow. Fantastic.
Loved it! I makes me want to go practice my recorder. And it makes me want to buy a harpsichord and learn to play cello.
Masterful playing by all three musicians! Yes, the alto recorder is a serious instrument! Bravi! (And what a visually and acoustically fabulous setting!)
The recorder is a serious instrument period.
Their performance Ís something Incredible, and Incredible feelings , and Incredible comfort, and Incredible beauty
I never knew how amazing the recorder could be, great play, Bravo!
Such passion in these musicians
I am always glad when I see young people being interested in music other than the commercialized pop music of today and especially playing it so well.
I preferred this ensemble unit and recording place I’m listening long time. Thanks ladies and gentlemen.❤

Beautiful performance by all three musicians. Love the recorder tone.
pure goodness ..lovely tones …Bach at his best and these players are a joy
treble recorder, played excellently in an excellent trio.
but is it the same tune in e minor?
@@andreainzaghi7373It was transposed up a third to g minor to suit the treble recorder register.
Bach lives !
The unison between Stina and Marcus is perfect, which gives the recorder its moment to really shine and make off with that glorious melody.
Bravo !!! Y que hermoso lugar para hacer música del Gran J. S. Bach
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I keep coming back to this. The harpsichordist during the allegro is contagious and the articulation is wonderful.
Yes, indeed....I fell in love with recorders for reason ♥
Still so beautifully played! As a recorder player, it is the ultimate standard we should all strive up to !
Beautiful! Thank you for this beautiful piece.
Wonderful. Perfect accoustics. Perfect pace. Brilliant individuals and teamplayers. Its just one big joy to listen to and to watch....
So so beautiful !!!!
Thank you 🙏!!
I loved this! the expression of the music and watching the musician's expression in particular!
Божественно! Восторг! Хочется возвращаться и возвращаться!

Great sound, musicality and video photography. Great piece of art on youtube
In this video, everything has been done with lot of attention to detail. Excellent!!
Masterful. Love the period instruments to show us all what Bach really sounded like in his time.

!Bellísima música magistralmente interpretada!
Absolutely beautifully played. Well done.
The music is absolutely beautiful -- great technique and attention to musicality -- but may I also add that I LOVE the choice of your outfit and how it perfectly complements the surroundings, the harpsichord, and the music style. Bravo.
The music of Bach is completely satisfying, and this combo sounds so good.
This is wonderful! Wow.
