How Bach must really relish this wonderful performance, not least the opportunity for so many musicians to share in the impact of this great work! Thank you, thank you, thank you !
What a mad and wonderful idea to arrange it 'for band' but with the organ still included. "Only in Russia!" A fantastic arrangement, as required, for this very special piece.
The russian folks are good people! I love them.They are very creative and passionate. Don't believe all the stories passed through the press! Just look at their magnificent culture and you know..... Much respect and love from a brother in 🇩🇪
Despite the poor organist’s attack of butterfingers, this is for me the best, most moving, most powerful arrangement and performance of this I’ve ever heard. There is something mesmerising about the conductor: he’s just not kidding, basically, and you can see him channelling, pumping the sound out of the air. The band, who are superb, are putty in his hands. The absence of top strings brings the top brass right to the front of the sound, and makes it terrifying and heartbreaking. Magisterial.
I feel like she messed up due to the fact that that was the part where she is the only one playing, so someone might tense up and get nervous. Still tho, the whole performance was insanely beautiful, some of the best I've ever heard
To think that I was expecting something kinda ridiculous... a MILITARY band playing one of Bach's best works*? No way! Well, I had to eat my words. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I was driven to tears. This would almost make me believe in God. Absolutely wonderful.
I did read the new testament. Didn't make me believe in God, even though I concured (and still do) with Jesus' teachings. Love the ethics and... the love. Faith is out of my reach (rather, I'm out of the reach of faith). Immune to proselytizing, sorry ☺
Great ! J.S.BAch and Russian military orchestral Discipline fit together . The Russians are part of European Culture. Thanks for Posting this arrangement
Благодарю сердечно! Если мне удалось услышать именно это исполнение - то у меня не осталось сомнений что я - Счастливый человек! Слова часто неточны.. Восхищение Силой Нежности.. Поклон всем кто Так проникновенно исполнил это Мощную и Величественную красоту! Светлая Память тем кто уже не в нашей мерности, но все равно с нами!
Feodor - posting this magnificent work to the internet is a gift to the world of great beauty. yes the defense band played it - but you found it. And now we can all hear it. Thank you Bob M
Исполнено мощно и сильно, памятник себе воздвигли рукотворный! Как судьбу чувствовали...первый раз услышал и удивился! Сколько не сравнивал с другими у этих дрожжи по коже, хоть органист подкачал местами, но трубы как в Иерехоне!
Wonderful! The most inherently consistent orchestral transcription of this marvellous piece of music I've heard yet. Played with devotion by a great military band. This performance saved my day, tonight.
Magnificent! ! !Wonderful performance of remarkable transcription! Powerful! Such large number musicians yet lines/voices preserved for interplay. Excellent balance and control! Gave me chills! Organ registra tion anemic; too few stops, not incisive enough; solo opportunities missed; errors. Did not know of tragic death of Maestro Khalilov...
When Bach composed BWV 582, the instrumentation for cover performances varied from salon to salon amongst the German nobility, and from congregation to congregation in Church circles. This vid is an extrapolation to concert-band scale from an arrangement for woodwinds, strings and cembalo continuo typical of a baronial court.
Nose quien ha hecho el arreglo pero suena muy bien esa formidable banda de musica del ministerio de defensa de la Union Sovietica es excelente y el Genertal director sr. kALILOV ES UN GENIO pues dirige muy bien pereo hace tocar a los musicos co afinacipon pastosidad magnifica actuacion como todas a las que nos tienen acostumbrados cos esos videos de mucha calidad gracias y un saludo desde España
Manuel Alba Rubio, es exactamente, con el añadido del órgano, la transcripción para orquesta que realizó Ottorinno Respighi (se cuenta que en apenas 9 días). Aunque hay otras transcripciones para orquesta o instrumentos solistas, la magistral transcripción de Respighi es, hasta hoy, insuperable.
GenLt Валерий Халилов ушел, а многие из его коллег в группе погибли в авиакатастрофе осенью 2016 года. Он считался лидером в спектакле. Мне часто нравится слушать оркестр, которого он ведет. Музыка универсальна и приятна для прослушивания. Спасибо! ua-cam.com/video/pmx6HM6ulhc/v-deo.html
that's the normal way of reading an 18th Century composition. the tempo is constant throughout - until the last note before the final chord. this is a wonderful reading of a masterpiece that I've been intimate with (as a keyboard player) for more than 40 years.
This is the most convincing orchestral transcription of any of Bach's organ works I've listened to. The other ones (including Respighi's and Mitropoulos') have something artificial they don't really seem to be compatible with the nature of those pieces. This is not surprising. The original versions were written for organ which, after all, is a wind instrument so a military band is more appropriate.
Une adaptation orchestrale absolument merveilleuse qui démontre encore une fois l'universalité de la musique de Bach et sa versatilité complète à toutes formes d'instrumentation. Bravo à l'arrangeur et aux interprètes.
Es la presentación orquestal mas mas profunda y espiritual que he disfruta de este gran hombre de Dios JOHANNES SEBASTIAN BACH Y ESTA GRAN ORQUESTA QUE DIVINAMENTE LA INTERPRETA. DESDE TABASCO, MÉXICO
Presented by a military defense band with minimalistic use of the organ? Now I’ve heard everything?! No matter! Bach can handle it! Bach can handle anything and even Stokowski would applaud this presentation! Will have to make a disclaimer however that this band is not a marching band! The cellos couldn’t handle that task!!! Lol. Thank you for this interpretation! Wonderfully played!!!
This is the question of "the development of music with instruments." Many composers tried to introduce new or latest instruments for their works. Mozart Fg. Beethoven Trb. Ravel Sax and so forth. Do you think Bach dared to exclude the electric guitar if would be there ?
Great performance!! Powerful and moving! This dynamic works well in my honest opinion. I can feel the emotion even though it is not played entirely on Organ. Of course the band setting is going to sound different and this band does justice to this orchestration. Bravo!!!
Печалька на 6:06 и 9:50, но никто и не заметил, тс-с-с. Любопытный момент на 10:25, необычно звучит, будто тональность сменили. И всё же, мне показалось, значительную часть фуги оркестр бездействовал. А вот с 11:42 начинается то, как, я считаю, надо исполнять Баха - игра одних инструментов должна переливаться с игрой других, подобно темам внутри самого произведения. Они должны подхватывать друг друга, отпускать и подхватывать снова, стремясь куда-то вдаль, унося слушателя за собой. Молодцы.
A beautiful rendition, very enjoyable. The only thing lacking was the punch of the organ, you get in organ recitals of the same piece, not the fault of the organist one of the few that can play this difficult composition to a good standard.
@Kiooo Thank you for your comment, the musician of the country "the Great Glen Gould." I intended to make the image of the Rock ( or Heavy Metal) star Bach. "If Bach would have the Synthesizer, or he could play full orchestra with keyboard, what should happen today ?--this question is better.
In a "normal" orchestra there is also a dresscode: black and white... it's also a kind of an uniform and no contradition. If you wish to play in an orchestra you have to act and play in a batallion under a general or leader. An army and a orchestra is not so different. The spirit of every single fighter for his comrades is the same as in an orchestra.

Don't believe all the stories passed through the press!
Just look at their magnificent culture and you know.....

Respighi's transcription is for organ and orchestra
Bach has been played on nearly every kind of instrument. I really love this version. The death of magnifient musicians is a real loss.

Bach wrote the Passacaglia at the age of 22 years after his visit of Buxtehude in Luebeck.
It is inspired by the Passacaglia in d minor by Buxtehude.
Age 22!? That's insane!
I think it partially inspired the chaconne from Holst's first suite in E-flat.
Exactly. Listen to Buxtehude and you will see where this came from.
31 years (1716)
man, that crescendo and stop by the percussion at 13:59 is beautifull
R.I.P. Valery Khalilov. Condolences to your family from U.K.
Благодарю сердечно! Если мне удалось услышать именно это исполнение - то у меня не осталось сомнений что я - Счастливый человек! Слова часто неточны.. Восхищение Силой Нежности.. Поклон всем кто Так проникновенно исполнил это Мощную и Величественную красоту! Светлая Память тем кто уже не в нашей мерности, но все равно с нами!
Bach is the greatest composer who has ever lived.
Really??? Not Beethoven? Mozart? Not Heyden? ...really? Bach must be my favorite!
Agree. He made the best music of all times.
Keiner kann ihm das Wasser reichen...
And what about Shostakovich? It's strange that he is not on your list
Руслан Бурдужан shostakovich could be his house maid.
Feodor - posting this magnificent work to the internet is a gift to the world of great beauty. yes the defense band played it - but you found it. And now we can all hear it.
Thank you Bob M
I've seen a few basses in a wind ensemble, but never a full bass AND cello section, with organ too???? This is such a treat.
Thankyou. And a very big thankyou to Valery Khalilov - for a great transcription, and for his great conducting.
Исполнено мощно и сильно, памятник себе воздвигли рукотворный! Как судьбу чувствовали...первый раз услышал и удивился! Сколько не сравнивал с другими у этих дрожжи по коже, хоть органист подкачал местами, но трубы как в Иерехоне!
Из этих музыкантов погиб только Валерий Халилов - он летел с хором Ансамбля имени Александрова.
Great Khalilov R.I.P. condoilences to the family from Italy
CavaliereNero1972 Very sad indeed - but we can all remember him in great performances such as this one. Bless his soul.
Wonderful! The most inherently consistent orchestral transcription of this marvellous piece of music I've heard yet. Played with devotion by a great military band. This performance saved my day, tonight.
Uh, how are those cellos going to march?
More easily than the organist, I suspect.
@@numbereightyseven That's what portative organs are for!
Risking of sounding dark I will write this: dying after listening to this flawless arrangement, I would be at peace.
I like this interpretation very much. Thank you for posting.
Доказательства того, что музыка выходит за пределы наций и народностей - красиво.
Бесмертное произведение и исполнение...впервые услышал 4 года назад.
I don't like when people make "arranges" but in this case I think there was a very good taste result, Bravo! The flute soloist is a doll.
Non avevo mai ascoltato niente di simile. E'una esecuzione nitida e perfetta.Molto affascinante il suono ottenuto.Grazie!
Exceptional orchestration, performance and conduction!!!

Muchas gracias vilazul op por la valiosa explicacion muy bien documentada muchas gracias un abrazo desde España
Existen las comas, hijo.
Absolutely wonderful. so emotionful and delicate expression
I am stunned at the magnificence of this music. An unbelievably beautiful and inspired performance. Bach's music at its best.

I just found out thanks to your comment. What a terrible loss!
May this terrific musician rests in peace. 😞
This is the best I've ever heard the Passacaglia played. A full orchestra contains all the sounds this piece needs.
that's the normal way of reading an 18th Century composition. the tempo is constant throughout - until the last note before the final chord.
this is a wonderful reading of a masterpiece that I've been intimate with (as a keyboard player) for more than 40 years.
Amazing transcription and an excellent performance.
One of the best orchestral arrangements of this organ song .
It's 3:30am, and I wasn't expecting to listen completely through. Very nice indeed.
A transcription a bit surprising, with a part kept at the organ, but why not ? Bach is so universal ! It sounds very good !
Wow!!!! This is in the Bolshoi Zal....the same Concert Hall that Glenn Gould played Bach in during his 1957 visit.

Actually The music of Bach it's amazing and Wonderful and I am repeat this music 🎶 every day
Magnifica instrumentacion, Magnifica interpretacion... no me canso de escucharla. Gracias.
José Manuel Caramés A. Has oído Gert van Hoef con este tema?
Молодцы, очень крутое исполнение
Just fallen in love with the flute player at 01:50 :))

de todas las que escuche fue la que mas me emociono !!!!!! j.m de Buenos Aires
Really beautiful! Can anyone tell me where to find the score for this band arrangement? Thank you.

Bach can handle anything and even Stokowski would applaud this presentation! Will have to make a disclaimer however that this band is not a marching band! The cellos couldn’t handle that task!!! Lol.

Благодарю Вас за изумительное видео
Nice composition. The консерватория имени П. И. Чайковского brings memories where I visited it many times in the nineties.
Bravissimiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!
WOW!!!
Great Professionist!
very interesting settup with the cellos and the organ. Love it
A fine transcription preserving the spirit of the original. There's a disturbing wrong note at 9:50...
This is the question of "the development of music with instruments."
Many composers tried to introduce new or latest instruments for their works.
Mozart Fg. Beethoven Trb. Ravel Sax and so forth.
Do you think Bach dared to exclude the electric guitar if would be there ?
Una versione straordinaria, una meraviglia!!!
What a beautiful music! It's gorgeous!
Очень сильно! Светлая память Валерию Халилову
Great performance!! Powerful and moving! This dynamic works well in my honest opinion. I can feel the emotion even though it is not played entirely on Organ. Of course the band setting is going to sound different and this band does justice to this orchestration. Bravo!!!
I am totally enthusiastic - tremendous !!!
言葉にならない、完璧な演奏でした。

It's intersting.... i hear here Bach and Tchaikovsky. Bravo.
Super, great, grandissimo! Great arrangement!
such emotion, utterly beautiful
Love this. Truly fantastic.
A beautiful rendition, very enjoyable. The only thing lacking was the punch of the organ, you get in organ recitals of the same piece, not the fault of the organist one of the few that can play this difficult composition to a good standard.
Magic I think Bach would take this as a tribute .
Excellent and masterful work. Congratulations
Adaptation fantastique qui donne une autre dimension à ce chef d'oeuvre
Bellisima Interpretacion!!! Excellent
Outstanding!!
Sobrecogedor, apabullante. Gloria eterna al màs vasto y sublime compositor musical de todos los tiempos.
maravilloso, gracias por compartir
Magnifique!
Incredible performance, very nice
sounds good to me My favorite band
@ 9:51 - wrong note at the organ, playing the fugue's theme in tenor/alto voice.
Nobody cares.
blackraven0513 you do, that's why you replied.
en quichua se diría Sumac... sagrado, sublime, maravilloso...
Bravissimo - really gorgeous performance - Spasibo Bolshoi! I cried tears of joy and emotion!
I wish I was there to witness this performance. I think one of the best performance heard.
What a gorgeous concert hall!
Amazing!!!
É magnifico
Превосходно!
Majestic, exquisite.
I know what you mean "gianninick" - she is absolutely beautiful !!
Johann Sebastian would have loved this,
This orchestra certainly has beautiful tone. I wonder how that relates to the military aspect.
sehr gut
Великие люди, великая музыка.
@Kiooo Thank you for your comment, the musician of the country "the Great Glen Gould."
I intended to make the image of the Rock ( or Heavy Metal) star Bach.
"If Bach would have the Synthesizer, or he could play full orchestra with keyboard,
what should happen today ?--this question is better.
Khalilov died in aircrash today. R.I.P.
I feel so sorry for the russian people and have not recovered mentally from that terrible tragedy.
Einfach Genial ... !
A nice effort. The brass section was a bit heavy-handed.
Awesome!
very nice performance...odd to have a complete cello and bass section but no violas or violins...
Oh!que j'vous aime tous les musiciens.
Really wonderful. Bravo!
Very epical, very good orchrestra
The sweetness of the music is contradicted by the military uniforms.
In a "normal" orchestra there is also a dresscode: black and white... it's also a kind of an uniform and no contradition. If you wish to play in an orchestra you have to act and play in a batallion under a general or leader. An army and a orchestra is not so different.
