- Concerto for lute, 2 violins, viola & continuo in D minor [FWV L:d 2], by Johann Friedrich Fasch.
Performed by Hopkinson Smith (13-string baroque lute)
Chiara Banchini, David Plantier (violin I/II)
David Courvoisier (viola)
Roel Dieltiens (violoncello piccolo)
You really appreciate Fasch's genius when you listen to other lute music from the period.
Fasch is an underrated composer and deserves more recognition. Same goes for Zelenka and Graupner.
Fasch is a wonderful composer. Most of his pieces lift people up.
Sorry to be contradictory,and I'm a passionate lover of Fasch but this isn't FaWV L:d2 but FaWV L:d1. Just a small remark which doesn't in any way change the beauty of the work ! Enjoy !!!!
Peça maravilhosa em construção, contraponto e estilo. Um sabor diverso do barroco italiano. Interpretação soberba, leve e bela. Grandes interpretes
As far as my knowledge goes: Fasch never copied - he did have that much of a own personality and integrity that copying was never a option! Music could come "close" to each other - but listen with care there are always rather deep valleys separating composers. If any comparison should be done here it should be with Boccherini. But copying? No ho.
We should regard every composer being inviduals and unique. Some more unique than others - in Fasch we find a composer of beauty and geniality!
Of course, J.S. Bach transcribed the music of Vivaldi et al for keyboard, including the Fasch 'Trio Sonata' FaWV N-c2 (BWV 585).
Concerto magnífico!
Exquisita interpretacion.Limpia,noble y bien estudiada historicamente.
Un sonido "alla Antiqua".Profesor Hopkinson = "Grande".

Coincidimos 100% mi querido Enrique. Saludos !!
formidable, el mejor concierto barroco para laúd...
Thank you Davekly, you yellow seed of the Mayan's, nice to see the sign being used, and nice to listen to this music, far from the mayatime, but many lives are in between...
Johann Friedrich Fasch 1688 - 1758 ... was a choirboy in Weissenfels and studied under Johann Kuhnau at the St. Thomas School in Leipzig. In 1714, unable to procure aristocratic patronage for a journey to Italy, Fasch instead travelled to Darmstadt to study composition for three months under his former Leipzig prefect Christoph Graupner and Gottfried Grünewald. He then traveled extensively in Germany, becoming a violinist in the orchestra in Bayreuth in 1714, was an amanuensis in Gera till 1719 and from 1719 until 1721 held a court post as organist in Greiz. His next major post was Prague, where he served for two years as Kapellmeister and court composer to Count Morzin ...Johann Sebastian Bach had considerable esteem for Fasch.
A fine transparant performance.
Maravilloso !!
Superbe
Maravilloso concierto
Baseado nesta excelente gravação montei meu arranjo para este maravilhoso concerto! Meu arranjo é para quarteto/orquestra de flautas doce e alaúde solista. Estudei flauta incessantemente 3 meses para executar bem as fusas no andamento que achava ideal. Infelizmente o quarteto que fazia parte não fez mais que um ensaio da peça e se desfez meses apos por divergirem de minha orientação para música historicamente informada. Fiquei só na vontade...
Exquisite. Thank you for sharing.
Best regards,

This is superb and in my opinion one of the very best one could hope to hear in baroque music. I love Fasch's music. Somebody earlier wrote Fasch would never have copied anything but I am not so sure. Just yesterday I heard a cantata by Fasch .. Also wonderful !!! .. And I distinctly heard a chorus which sounded very very similar to one of Bach... But who cares .. Both were great !!! Thank you for this to me well known concerto from Concero per l'0rchestra di Dresda """!!!
Hi JAS - and others!
Fasch is - I must confess - rather tricky in every sense! He is close up to some other composers. But think this: "Was not his (Fasch's) work also copied"? And then: "By Whom"? Because critical thinking is necessary here! Compare date's and years of when works was written! But dont just conlclude that the great Bach did not copy him self (Zelenka as an example...). There are many reason to understand, also, that some of the "melodies" that was used under the 16th- and 17th century were like common properties - besides, this use of copyright we use in our time, dont applies at all to that time back in history. "Copyright" is a much later invention, even though mentioned and proposed by philosophers and printers but never much more and beyond that. (If there should have been a "copyright" before Gutenberg, for example, our knowledge about early medieveal thinking should have been almost a blank chapter since copying - by hand - was the only way to "make" a book then! We have, for good or worse, gone far beyond that since then!) Also, physical distance between different composers was also at large - travelling far took very much time! And was not that common or popular either...
So - keep on listening and reading about composers. And, please, search the archives if necessary for knowing more about things, dates and so on and so forth... "Search and you will find" :=) Also: search this on the internet:
Music manuscripts from the 17th and 18th centuries in the British Library
just to learn how difficult and tricky reading composers mss. could really be! But I have seen much worse than the examples in this article... unfortunately! (Composers also used different "tricks" to avoid some obvious copy questions. Like using mirrors, musical delays in tempo, shifting keys and instruments, incerting notes here and there (sometimes also randomly just to make a little joke), "making themes better", new "improvements" of college's work's, etc. etc. They tried almost everything possible.)
Greetings and the very best from Mike in Sweden!
@@mikethepike1000 One must also keep in mind that Fasch was a transition composer between Baroque and Classical styles. To me this concerto sounds like it is in the early Classical style.
@@brianknapp8645 true. Fasch is clearly baroque but with clear scent of gallant style. He was a man of his time and wrote for his time not for posterity.
Besides he wrote for all instruments and all genres and obviously knew all his contemporary and past masters.
Hence he can be seen as a second Telemann who was also accused to copy.
Actually both adopted common language of their times because they wrote for their times
That's why although both wrote pleasant, brilliant and well structured music and sometimes masterpieces, others shall be named genius (JSB, etc.)

Hi Mike, we seem to have years in between comments. My initial comment was 5 years ago and your reply was a few years thereafter. I only read this today, 28 nov 2019.
An interesting comment you made. I wonder where your knowledge comes from. You clearly have spent quite some time building up your expertise.
Thanks again and greetings from Australia. ,
@@jans5331 - J.S. Bach transcribed the Fasch 'Trio Sonata' FaWV N-c2 for keyboard (BWV 585) in addition to other works by Vivaldi et al (BWV 972-987).
Beautiful music. Thank you.
Blagodaram!

Peut importe que ce soit un plagiat apparent, au surplus, la pratique en était alors puissamment répandue, c'est une oeuvre superbe.

Was this piece written for Silviu Weiss?

wow! Who have stolen from who?
Its nearly a copy of the double concerto by Vivaldi for Violino, Lute and Bc. Hmmmm!!
je n'ai pas tellement l'impression que ce soit un plagiat de l'oeuvre de Vivaldi : il y'a une ressemblance mais bon ...
