Love both interpretations! However, I gotta hand it to Freiburg Baroque Orchestra on this one. Everything about it just fits so perfectly well. The tempo the passion and the idea of playing music as one whole not as individual parts! I feel you just get the whole package listening to these talented men and women! It really is a treat. Not to say that the other group didn't have it but these guys set the bar!
EuroArtsChannel This version was definitely much more up temp than any version i've heard but as far as which version is my favorite, this and the voices of music would be a close tie...
EuroArtsChannel I love the Richter version over both :D I just feel like his version has much more emotion and much more volume :D These two sound lackluster to me.
Well it's not exactly from 'nothing'. A lot of these talented composers spend their whole lives steeped in music and interacting with other talented musicians.
A LOT, and I do mean a lot, of people complain about the speed of this performance; I adore it! It's so playful and lively. Whether this is how JS Bach interpreted this, it's a lot of fun and I am sure the musician that he was would love this particular interpretation!
I happened upon this version several years ago, and have to admit that it has become my very _favorite_! I love the technicality and obvious fun that these fine musicians are having! The eye contact they maintain is especially endearing to me. ❤️ Bravo!!
I never ever heard it this exciting. Everything is just crystal clear, the phrasing is perfect, the dynamics very subtle and the rhythm is breathtaking, all of the musicians are virtuosi and shine,yet it is in perfect harmony and full of joy. I cannot listen to this enough.
This has to be my favorite performance of this piece. I absolutely adore the eye contact between the musicians and the joyful dancing! It really sets the mood. You can tell they are really enjoying what they are playing. This is also one of my favorite pieces of music, so it is great to see it executed so well.
When you play the violin, it takes so much effort in concentration that you are forced to move this way... i wouldnt call it joyful dancing, it's an involuntary thing and theres no way they would play this well trying to stand still.

They are dancing, no doubt about it. They are into it as much as any style can be. pretty much, they are rocking it. fantastic talent and musician ship
This is only the second performance I've heard from these guys and they're already my favorite. The shaping and dynamics toward the end of the first movement were gripping. It looks like the ideal Baroque performance: small group, just big enough to add a little chorus effect; no conductor calling all the shots, just the ensemble watching each other (mostly); with the modern-day advantage of no idiot nobles yakking all the way through.
A great performance, not only from the performers but the Cameramen, Vision Mixer, Editor and Director as well. It was nice to see a performance filmed by people who clearly understood the music.
Just LOVED this! Had my 6 month old in my arms as I watched this. She was just fascinated watching the energy of the musicians. Wonderful performance. Bravissimo!
There is not one single generation since this man came along that has not been influenced by the genius that is his music. The student of music need not read far before encountering the passionate assertion that Johann Sebastian Bach was probably the greatest composer who ever lived!
You could really be one sided in this case. Baroque, classical, or romantic? I myself love romantic. But if I were to choose, I'd choose Vivaldi. More towards my taste of romantic music.
I'm sort of partial to Borodin, a chemist who wrote music in his spare time, and whose first string quartet (first movement, especially) includes fugato passages that Bach might have written on a good day. Still, Bach was probably the greatest. On the other hand, he was influenced by the likes of Buxtehude....
Music from the 1600's and it is still badass to this day! There is no room for mediocrity in the Life when there is genius and passion too be had! The musicians' performance was absolutely spectacular! Thank you for sharing this with all of us!! Wunderbar!
Dude, you need a lesson in music history. Bach was born in 1685, died in 1750. So he was only 15 in 1700. How did you get the idea that this music is from the 1600s?
@@herrickinman9303 Harsher than necessary - don't belittle people over trivia - it's pedantic/rude. Kamilla716 was clearly just referencing the fact that the music is very old.
I hope that you all particularly enjoy the Baroque style that this group uses. Notice the violinists don't have chin rests on their instruments and aren't clamping on with their chins, just resting on the shoulder, while the cellists are holding the instruments just with their knees, rather than having a peg on the bottom and putting it on the floor. So they can't "saw" on the instrument as hard as they could otherwise. Most if not all of them are using baroque bows, which are lighter than traditional bows. Notice they have a convex curve, whereas a modern bow is concave. This enables, even demands lighter, quicker bowing. Some of the violinist even "choke up" on the frog, allowing for an even more delicate touch. It looks like they're all on gut strings, making it one of the cleaner performances I've heard. It's easy to squeak on gut strings. Would have been lovely to hear this live. What fun. Bach rules.
Thank you for this clarification. I first noticed the convex bows (violas and violins) held further from the frog than those educated in the US were taught And, of course, the lighter touch with the hand above the bow rather than "balancing" the bow with the thumb below and resting against the frog. Then, of course, no chin rests, which I could not imagine playing without (in the days that I played viola).
This is my all time personal favorite composition and preformance of this piece. The harpsichord is essential for any music from this time period. This is absolution.
Wow! Not only is the music being played on period instruments (per the liner found with the CD recording), this performance was held in the very room where the work was first heard, with Herr Bach at the helm!
No. Bach had previously met the Margrave Christian Ludwig of Brandenburg-Schwedt, and sent him these pieces on spec from Cothen, perhaps to gain further commissions. Bach never heard the pieces performed and it's likely the Margrave never did either.
@@davidblackburn3396 The so-called Brandenburg Concertos are merely minor, last minute updates to concertos composed for, or at least performed by, the virtuoso musicians at the court of Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Koethen, when Bach was his Kapellmeister from 1717-1723. When Bach sent the margrave these concertos, he even reused the Coethen wrapper. Some of these concertos may have originated from Bach's Weimar period (1708-1717), when Bach was concertmaster at the ducal court in Weimar. Unknown to Bach, the margave lacked the resources to perform these concertos. The margrave was financially dependent on his nephew, the king in Prussia. The king had cut the music budget to spend more money on his military and political ambitions. In cutting the music budget, the king dismissed his capella of virtuoso musicians, and when Prince Leopold learned of this, he hired them, just in time for Bach to direct them. The notion that poor little Bach composed the Brandenburgs from scratch just for the margrave is ignorant nonsense.
Bach is the best among the best, BWV 1048 is so uplifting that it can be listened for hours, what a mix of hope, drama and joy! Great performance by Freiburger Barockorchester
The confidence they were feeling was exuding and their contagious joy makes me jump out of my seat. I wonder how much practice went into such a nuanced performance that still stayed so fresh, with perfect timing and execution
The fact that the first movement doesn't actually say how it's played, the second movement being only two measures long, and the allegro being so buoyant that even the contrabass sounds light. This is one of my favourites of the Brandenburg Concertos!
Bravo!! What a gifted group of musicians with the same reverence and adoration for the genius of J.S. Bach. Thank you for breaking the darkness by shining this divine bright light.
Bravo! Bravissimo! Listening to this magnificent compostion again -- and an outstanding performance! -- and as a musician going on some 53 years now, I can state with no reservations that J.S. Bach was the greatest musician who ever lived.
This is probably the best performance I have heard, they bring out nuances I had not heard before.Also, the last movement is breathtakingly fast yet accurate.
I'm not normally a classical fan, but shortly getting married, my fiancé an I decided we would like some classical music rather than the normal wedding stuff and thus is definitely on our list!!
The richness and beauty of Bach.... I just wish this song was played to the entire world at the same time somehow... And to answer the question, I really like this version of Freiburg Baroque more than the Orchestra Mozart. This one gives me a more rich sound and it doesn't seen rushed. I'm in grade 7 doing this and I'm so obsessed with this... I LISTEN TO IT EVERYWHERE
non white can't appreciate?bruh..but non-black can appreciate to the blues XD I will not listen to this freakin Bach anymore. It was good but your comment showsthat classical music's fan are in racism I WILL HATE IT FOREVER AND FUCK THA CLASSICAL FANS FOREVER! eh..that white dude was damn stupid yeah I'm Korean too And ya are Asshole kkkkkkkkk
That was a clever observation about the type of sound you appreciate. I suspect that you have been able to discover lots of good music in the past 2 years. Be well.
True true, I love both the first and the third very much. But in my comment I meant my favourite, the second movement from 5.40, that lasts about 12 seconds. ☺
This is one of the things I like about concertos vs concerts... the way the musicians both watch and listen to each other for cues to keep themselves in time.
How can you listen to this everyday, literally everyday and it never gets old. There is a reason why Bach was one of the greatest musicians of all time.
This performance brings me to tears and makes me smile all at the same time. I have listened to the Brandenburgs all my life, but these musicians breathe new life into them!
It's less than 10%, which I have figured is normal for ANY video on UA-cam. So this is doing well. One can only wonder if Bach himself had a preference to how this should be played. For me this interpretation is too fast and frivolous, lacking the majesty some other interpretations. Seems to be little depth of feeling in it. I didn't vote, by the way.
I'm still in Awe of these woman and Bach's masterpieces. My dream: to find a woman who plays the Violin or Cello and listen to music all day. I can dream.
Bach was a true Rock n Roller before Rock came on the seen. These Musicians here takes this to an excellent and exciting level . I really enjoyed this video.
So delightful! Seeing this performed at such high tempo, flawlessly, is like watching someone free climbing or engaging in a dangerous extreme sport-a single flaw would mean the end-and yet is executed perfectly!
I fell in love with the harpsichord the first time I heard Sir Elton's studio version of 'Skyline Pigeon' off the album Empty Sky. What a beautiful instrument. The energy and enthusiasm of these musicians is INFECTIOUS! Loved this! Bach rules.
There are many amazing music works by composers that will bring a person to tears, joy and wonder, but as wonderful as they are to me this composition is the epitome of classical music.
Funny you would say that, I just noticed they all have furtive eye contact all the time. Great team ! The joy they exude is too great to miss. Joi de vivre !
Para todos los HISPANOHABLANTES, un afectuoso saludo.... y en verdad os digo que quienes gustamos de estas bellas obras debemos sentirnos orgullosos de compartir asiento en el mismo vehículo.......Juntos iremos al mismo lugar... la música clásica, barroca, renacentista e incluso la gregoriana es el destino común, es el destino de la paz perpetua, por lo menos mientras la escuchamos.... BUEN DÍA PARA TODOS....
listening to this on acid is incredible. every note is crystal clear, like the music is coming from inside your head, like a musical thought but loud and clear. As you listen, it makes you realize the beauty of Bach, not just because of the music theory behind, but the genius way the voices are dynamized in timbre, intensity and tempo. The voices just overlap into depth and layers so perfectly.
I love playing this song! I play Viola, and Bach certainly put care and thought into incorporating each instrument. And it sounds beautiful when my class and I play it.

My middle school varsity played this. It's so fun! I didn't get to play, though, because I wasn't in varsity at that time, but I am now! =3 I've been playing since August.
I wish I could hear the musicians Bach himself instructed and conducted playing this, then I would know if he'd be proud. But, regardless, this is a very fine performance!
I think if he came back and played Steinway D, he would wonder why they were using that pathetic little harpsichord thing. Completely inaudible. It can't even match the violins.
I know I've viewed this countless times for the love of Bach but I also love looking at the gorgeous women who display their talent so we'll. -respectively
I have watched several performances of this piece, and this is one with the most passion and shear joy of playing the music. These musicians love the music and are having a blast playing it. What could be better?
Wonderful! Appreciate the video work! The close in shots really bring out the concentration of the musicans! So serious, but yet so joyful in being a part of the whole! Again thank you!
My favorite piece to play when I was in Orchestra, in high school and college. This performance is amazing. I went to an open house at my high school about 20 years after I graduated, the orchestra was there, and I got to sit in with them to play this... on the same school Cello from back then. My fingers still remembered all the notes, it was delightful Even my Orchestra teacher was still there (ready to retire), it was great playing for him one last time.

+donut11975 richter version is technically perfect as always, but I think this one is still quite quite good.
To listen to Bach's Brandenburg concertos 3 & 6 is as important as a morning cup of coffee. They are so uplifting.
How in the hell does someone compose this music from nothing? In their head? It seems like supernatural magic.
winkerdude
It's a talent. I think many musicians hear it in their mind. Like painters imagine the painted.
pretty much this. if you have the talent you hear the music and in some sense it doesn't even feel like you are the author.
Well it's not exactly from 'nothing'. A lot of these talented composers spend their whole lives steeped in music and interacting with other talented musicians.
Yeah like what the fuck? And that second violin, I'd like her to rosin my bow. Sheesh

The players are clearly having fun doing it at this speed, and, quite frankly, they've convinced me that THIS is the proper pace/tempo for this piece

When I was pregnant, I craved this music, wore out a cassette with all of the Brandenburg

What a beautiful performance. This definitely elavates my soul...and the first violin on the left moving like an angel..just precious

I always come back here to hear this wonderful interpretation of Bach's work
Amazing that human beings can create and play something so beautiful, skilful and coordinated.
Wids Of78 I find it odd that you are referring to your kind in 3rd person you make it sound like your a Martian:P 👽
It's great to watch great musicians really enjoying playing great music.
So impossibly wonderful!
Beauty which flooded my eyes. While the world's falling apart here is something still to be thankful for. UK 12.20.
one of the classical music that started it all in my life.... salute!
Those 2 women to the left were jamming to those strings.
haha I think they were! passion!
+Kate Mullender That's what playing good music does!
ShipIsLove ShipIsLife the woman on the very end is the conductor. that's why the person on the far left always moves so much. ;)
Right on
Funny you would say that, I just noticed they all have furtive eye contact all the time. Great team ! The joy they exude is too great to miss. Joi de vivre !
Para todos los HISPANOHABLANTES, un afectuoso saludo.... y en verdad os digo que quienes gustamos de estas bellas obras debemos sentirnos orgullosos de compartir asiento en el mismo vehículo.......Juntos iremos al mismo lugar... la música clásica, barroca, renacentista e incluso la gregoriana es el destino común, es el destino de la paz perpetua, por lo menos mientras la escuchamos.... BUEN DÍA PARA TODOS....
Jajajajajaja
Estas en lo correcto XD
por que solo hispanohablantes...
+Leir Ascanio Coronel: Más que a los hispanohablantes eso va dirigido a los castellanófonos; saludos y felicitaciones desde Lima-Perú-América.

I've watched this dozens of times... every time I watch it and listen again, I discover something new about his wonderful concerto.
listening to this on acid is incredible.
every note is crystal clear, like the music is coming from inside your head, like a musical thought but loud and clear.
As you listen, it makes you realize the beauty of Bach, not just because of the music theory behind, but the genius way the voices are dynamized in timbre, intensity and tempo.
The voices just overlap into depth and layers so perfectly.
some of their glances at one another - shared or not - cracked me up.
It helps them keep in sync with each other. I bet those instruments are very old and valuable due to the "antique" finish on them. Beautiful.
When there is no conductor, they have to keep looking at each other to keep the beat synchronized, make sure they are together as they play.
that man on the violin his face !
i love having a nice meal while listening to this masterpiece!
+fep_ ptcp I listen to this whilst I am cooking a nice meal.
fair enough! I guess it would make me feel sorta like I was cooking for the king ;)
The 3rd part, allegro... simply stunning! I have heard the computer do this but to see people play this fast all of those notes... AWESOME! 5:55
I don't understand how anyone can come up with music this brilliant
Not all musicians believe in god, but all musicians believe in Bach.
my favourite one of all the six
THIS thirt cBRANDENBURG concert. IT IS SO, SO, SO PERFECT!!! A Great Construction!!!
I love playing this song! I play Viola, and Bach certainly put care and thought into incorporating each instrument. And it sounds beautiful when my class and I play it.
La música hace poesía en el alma, pero sólo el corazón es poeta.

I can't stop watching this! Amazing! The energy is AMAZING!
My middle school varsity played this. It's so fun! I didn't get to play, though, because I wasn't in varsity at that time, but I am now! =3 I've been playing since August.
I think Bach would be proud of them dont you agree????
I agree
No
I think.... Yes
I wish I could hear the musicians Bach himself instructed and conducted playing this, then I would know if he'd be proud. But, regardless, this is a very fine performance!
I think if he came back and played Steinway D, he would wonder why they were using that pathetic little harpsichord thing. Completely inaudible. It can't even match the violins.
This performance is utterly the most enjoyable!
I know I've viewed this countless times for the love of Bach but I also love looking at the gorgeous women who display their talent so we'll. -respectively
A more beautiful creation with this ensemble of instruments you will not find. Bach is the master!
I remember trying to play this with my private teacher's chamber orchestra in 3rd grade.
I think I ended up air-bowing most of it 😂😂
Impresionante, magníficos,!! Precisión, claridad, voces y matices. Fantásticos!!!
La naturaleza, sus animales y Bach es lo mas sublime del mundo.
I have watched several performances of this piece, and this is one with the most passion and shear joy of playing the music.
These musicians love the music and are having a blast playing it. What could be better?
This is pure human expression......no fakeness
Bach the great composer of all timesthe performance is amazing and energetic
Wonderful! Appreciate the video work! The close in shots really bring out the concentration of the musicans! So serious, but yet so joyful in being a part of the whole! Again thank you!
Musicians bringing the music of Bach to life, and the music of Bach bringing musicians to life.
SO MUCH PASSION! SO MUCH PASSION!!! i love this :)
Beautiful!!!! They are excellent. Bach was a master!
My favorite piece to play when I was in Orchestra, in high school and college. This performance is amazing.
I went to an open house at my high school about 20 years after I graduated, the orchestra was there, and I got to sit in with them to play this... on the same school Cello from back then. My fingers still remembered all the notes, it was delightful Even my Orchestra teacher was still there (ready to retire), it was great playing for him one last time.
This sounds right to me, and I have been listening to the concertos for 60 years by many orchestras,
