    The irony-- hearing this glorious music as it was meant to be played on original Baroque instruments... yet watching on a smartphone. How lucky we are. Not many were lucky enough to see or hear this music when it was composed. We are SO lucky and blessed to hear all the stages of instrumental music throughout the centuries. That fact is never lost on me. Thank you for posting this magnificent piece.

    A much maligned work by today’s modern performers for its ubiquitousness (through no fault of Pachelbel), but makes a profound case for itself every time, when performed as intended. Thank you for this performance VoM! I love your videos!

      I'd say the most profound and poignant aspect of this beautiful song its its impact on so many artists and genres due to said transcendal ubiquitousness. You may not like some of the replications or inspirations of/from it, but the boundary breaking nature of the piece is one of the reasons music today is as as great and diverse as it is

    In short, I assiduously avoid this piece. But this performance held me spellbound. The combination of togetherness and of individuality of voices, the subtle effect of the temperament (tuning) used to create a sound of true consonance, the sense of life and breath -- all just marvelous. Thank you!

      +Kimberly Ourlian You asked WHY I wrote "In short, I assiduously avoid this piece." Well, I was TRYING to be diplomatic, as I know it is well loved. By other people, not me. The reason I avoid Pachelbel's canon is that I HATE THE BLOODY THING!! It is (so often) tedious, sentimental, repetitive, trite.... having such a short simple ostinato bass makes it inherently hard to avoid monotony, but then there's also that slow boring "melody" - just a simple scale that goes down for no reason then back up for no reason over and over like a 4-year old at the piano, and the trite little faster motives that provide an uninteresting so called "counterpoint", all over the same boring chords over and over and over... Should I take a nap? Or just kill myself? Only a few performances -- such as this marvelous one and Musica Antiqua Köln's spritely one -- provide any light. I know the guy wrote some good music (the accompanying gigue is rather fun) but it takes real skill to make me enjoy the canon.

    So strange I just randomly happened to want to listen to this song in its most beautiful form and this video looked humble yet full of talent. Looking at the comments a bunch are within the last few days it’s like so many people wanted to find a small moment of peace like me. It kinda cheers me up, feels like we’re all not as lone as we feel so many times.

    I've heard Pachelbel Canon in D so many times. So many versions. I should be exhausted. Why I can't hate this? Why is so timeless, why is its effect on me so perfect?
    I can't help it. It still touch my soul in ways no other theme can.

    Many modern musicians have played this piece with flashy techniques and wide vibrato. But this is how it would be played back when Pachelbel was alive, this would be the closet to what he wanted. Great interpretation

      @Bolar55 4 роки тому

      Noone knows how it was played at the time, or how Pachelbel intended it. We don't have recordings , and notation and other writings we might have access to are not and cannot be exact. So every performance is an interpretation based on the things we can know and the performers personal taste. So how close is it to the original performance? We don't know, and I personally don't care much. I just enjoy it ;-)

    Iba manejando por carretera subiendo a la montaña, llevaba en el sonido música barroca, y de repente comenzó el Canon de Johannes Pachelbel.
    Meditabundo, paisaje, recuerdos, circunstancias estimularon mis lagrimales desde lo más profundo de mi ser. No podía evitarlo, lloraba que tuve que orillarme para evitar un percance.
    Fue una experiencia tan, pero tan extenuante de emoción que tuve la sensación haber padecido un vahido.
    Al paso del tiempo, no puedo mas que decir que esa experiencia emotiva me la explico a la única razón de haber experimentado lo que se debomina "El Síndrome de Stendhal".
    Y me lo explico así, ya que el síntoma tuvo por peculiaridad quedar pasmado por una gran obra de arte, como ésta maravillosa pieza musical que nos legó Pachelbel.
    Gracias Johannes Pachelbel por tu maravilloso regalo.
    Saludos a los amantes del arte desde Guanajuato Mx....
