Baroque music has this uncanny ability to reach my heart when it comes to expressing feelings of sadness or dejection. I feel this coming through in the Adagio movement (6:50).
This is beyond brilliant and sublime, especially the Adagio section beginning at 9:49 and finishing through the movement. And one can feel how Bach's notes seem to reach ever higher and higher, as the music seems to reach greater heights of exalted glory.
Yes, I've noticed in some of his keyboard pieces how he reaches what you believe is the most sublime height....and then takes your breath away with a gasp when he goes immediately even higher!
@@gimbapco1313 I don't listen metal at all but don't judge other people's preferences. I've done that in the past and it gave them bad impression about classical music :(
There are moments where Vivaldi’s influence is indisputable, but Bach’s own style comes through as well. Bach was brilliant because he was able to learn and not just invent. This piece is beautiful.
My opinion sometimes is: you are listening to and enjoying some music... even really good and well written, and everything seem to go at the best but... at a certain moment... you hear something by bach - THAT is the moment when you realize the huge power of music and where everything has a sense, and the fantastic thing is that you couldn't even imagine that existed such a beautiful music at all😮
A little forced though because of the speed, especially in the first movement, wouldn't you say? Maybe it's just a taste preference of mine- seems like it should have kind of an effortlessness to it. Heck of a performance either way.
My favorite. To me it is a LAUGHING concerto! Brilliant, sparkling with energy, true joy (not this fake, cheap joy-substitute today's entertaining music is offering The Public). Real thing, real joy, real knowledge, real masterpiece, real master, real Bach, real output.
Your opinion is nothing new-- Bach probably would have held the same opinion of music of his day, while his contemporaries already regarded him as old-fashioned.
Some subjective generalizations: Mozart's music is the most beautiful. Beethoven's music is the most profound. Wagner's music is the most emotionally affective. But Bach's music is the most effervescent and joyful. It doesn't so much sing (as Mozart), or declaim (as with Beethoven), or entrance (as with Wagner), but dance! Bach's music, for me, is the apotheosis of the dance! (To borrow Wagner's phase about Beethoven's 7th).
I love this peice! An awesome story about me and this song: Yesterday was April fools. So Our biology teacher decided to hijack the algebra teacher’s computer to play this obnoxious music, and all the rest of us would pour in the room and walk around. This was actually “revenge” for when the algebra teacher led their class into our class and just walked around the room saying nothing. But I had orchestra during that class, but then the conductor allowed us to go and walk around the algebra room, and even with our violins. And when the algebra teacher saw us, his expression was priceless!! Then he said: “ Max! Solo!” And This was the perfect time because I was just practicing this piece this morning and I played to to our entire house and all the teachers and it was awesome!!! Thx Bach.
It means modern as opposed to historical performance practice. And it is definitely no early music performance practice as you can hear clearly concerning articulation, vibrato aso. Nowadays there are more " historic" recordings than in the years before...
It's hard to compare composers from one era to the next, and I personally prefer Bach, myself, but Bach lived to be 65 and was composing right up to his death. Mozart died just short of his 36th birthday. What could Mozart have done had he another 20-30 years!
bayreuth79 True. And that's because much of Bach's music was actually supposed to be danced on, like many baroque music was. If you listen to Bach's suites (French, English, cello, orchestral etc.) and various other works, you'll notice most parts are actually named after dances. Those are popular 18th century dances such as the menuet, gavotte, pavane, bourree, sarabande and chaconne. Intepreting baroque music with the knowledge it's supposed to be danced on adds a completely different, more lively, dynamic to the music. It really gives the music the gusto it deserves. Musica Antiqua Koln and I Barocchisti have excellent and modern recordings of the Brandenburg concerti and orchestral suites - as baroque is supposed to be played. Even some cantata's can swing for that matter. The music really comes alive, opposed to those hulking orchestral renditions from the 50's and 60's by popular orchestra's and violinists. As for the Violin Concerti, Julia Fischer is my favorite, but Gidon Kremer is noteworthy as well.
Thanks for your interesting comment. I heard this on Classic FM yesterday and fell in love with this piece. I never realized violins could sound so beautiful!
@Twi Talura, Baroque is Baroque. -J.S. Bach and Vivaldi were contemporaries. -Baroque music is primarily written according to rules of counterpoint. -Vivaldi's 'Primavera' violin concerto (RV 269) is written in E major. -J.S. Bach's 2nd violin concerto (1042) in E major as well. -Vivaldi's works, such as L'estro armonico, were popular throughout whole Europe. -J.S. Bach was strongly influenced by Italian baroque (from 1717). -J.S. Bach wrote over 1200 pieces. -Vivaldi over 800, of which many violin concerti and opera's. Thus, It's not very unlikely some music sounds alike.
Baroque music always sounded lovely to me, but man, these pieces are relentless. I find that in places where a classical or romantic era composer would have dropped one or two notes, bach and vivaldi drop 10, the pieces just do not stop moving with almost mechanical precision. That said, they still show remarkable restraint, there's build up and passion and release, but it never hits you over the head the way later composers did. Simply perfect.
+Ginger kid in pain I got good news for you then! Get your violin, play on average at least 4 hours a day, 6 days a week and before you know it you'll be blasting on this concerto! There's no magic though, you gotta practice massively.
And as for Hahn, I agree, her baroque is amazing and she is my favorite when it comes to Bach and her reserved, well tempered vibrato has a lot to do with it. As for Perlman, I can't say I have heard his baroque pieces. Anyway, I looked back at my comment and I can see how I might have come off as rude. I can assure you that was not my intention (which I know doesn't quite justify anything). But yea sorry if you felt offended and sorry for assuming.
+Marcel Weber Sir, you stole my words, you gotta pay for'em now! Hahaha! Bach is the god of musicians, nearly everyone else is influenced by him, be it classical or not.
This is a little too fast for study purposes. I can hardly follow it on paper let alone that my fingers can! But the second part is doable so thank you for the upload of the sheetmusic.
@@ernestvasko2472 what do you know about any other composer? To say Bach is BEST at expressing emotions is one thing, saying he is the only one to is another.
Right, Marfan Syndrome I think is what it's called. But yea its definitely hard to not have more respect for Paganini because he also composed some absolutely beautiful pieces while Heifetz just played. And then yea there are the caprices which are just insane. Takes a truly talented violinist just to play them well, but only a true master could have actually come up with that stuff.
You hate when baroque music is played like it's supposed to be played? "Technically and tonally, it's perfect" Well those are the most important parts to Baroque music, a strong technic and a crisp, clean tone. It sounds to me you just don't enjoy the style of Baroque music and if by "substance" you mean vibrato then well you can find many performers (unfortunately) who use the gunned Romantic vibrato with the strong Romantic bow strokes you crave on Baroque pieces (Heifetz comes to mind).
This concerto is distinctly Bach. It is not Vivaldian in style at all. I love Vivaldi but the writing here is far more granular ,developmental and contrapuntal. It is just..different. Yes the broad form is shared but that's about it.
If you are going to place ads in this piece, could you please place them precisely between the movements? By putting them somewhere between the ending and beginning of movements, you are really ruining the experience.

E successa una cosa incredibile
Ho visto questo video e ho visto questo commento ricordandomi del tuo nome particolare
1:58 to 2:35 blows my mind every time. Unbelievable how Bach can pack a lifetime's worth of emotion into 30 seconds of music.
my thoughts exactly
same
don't forget 3:00
same, every time i listen to this song i feel the emotion radiating out of it.
it all comes down to modulation and Bach did it better than anyone else
Baroque music has this uncanny ability to reach my heart when it comes to expressing feelings of sadness or dejection. I feel this coming through in the Adagio movement (6:50).
I feel for your baroquen heart, Johnathan.
1:57 - 2:35
Bach had a way with phrasing that makes you truly feel the emotions throughout the music, that is why he is a true master of music.
This is beyond brilliant and sublime, especially the Adagio section beginning at 9:49 and finishing through the movement. And one can feel how Bach's notes seem to reach ever higher and higher, as the music seems to reach greater heights of exalted glory.
Yes, I've noticed in some of his keyboard pieces how he reaches what you believe is the most sublime height....and then takes your breath away with a gasp when he goes immediately even higher!
You are fake
This was the first of many classical pieces I loved. It brings bach many memories of younger me.
Bach is the master of all the music... this one is very beautyfull. i walk away before i cry...

Absolutamente brillan la idea de poner la partitura en la pantalla. Este concierto me ha gustado desde la primera vez que lo oí.

Funny to see this being labeled as a modern performance practice, despite the recording being Gidon Kremer's from 1983.
That's what happens when people don't source where the music come from
No entendí; esta interpretación es con instrumentos modernos o de época?
1983 is modern.
It means modern as opposed to historical performance practice. And it is definitely no early music performance practice as you can hear clearly concerning articulation, vibrato aso. Nowadays there are more " historic" recordings than in the years before...
I am practicing the music, and I LOVE it!
It is true Bach is the god of musicians
+banane beure Its a matter of opinion. For example I prefer Bach over Mozart while some may not.

This is not the right attribute, he is still incomplete!
yes I agree but you know, one third of bach's music is missing.
No!! That is too painful a thought to even consider!
Me encanta esta obra de Bach; junto con el concierto para violin en la menor BWV 1041 son hermosisimos.

Well those are the most important parts to Baroque music, a strong technic and a crisp, clean tone.
