So often when i just sit back to relax and fully experience these melodies in every fiber of my being i so many times just end up in the extascy where i want to jump up and scream "YES YES YES" as it rubs my entity with sounds that are not focused into rhythm patterns but pure bliss state of flowing through the way of play that i find is the most supreme of us beings as it doesnt mean anything else but the wonderful unfolding of the next note that moves my core. You are so great beloved Shunske Sato.
I've listened to many versions of this piece, but this interpretation FAR EXCEEDS any other interpretation I've ever listened to. Simply heavenly! As I listen, I keep being amazed over and over again. My ears have been blessed!
After hearing Sato's amazing performance of this incredible Bach's Sonata for solo violin, I begin to understand (in paraphrase) the proverb: "Saving one soul as if saving a whole world" - it is as if I've heard all the music in the world. And - just mentioning one little moment (one from so many, only for ex.) that hit my heart most: 3:55 and on. A thousand thanks Sato and NBS for giving my own soul all the tranquility of the world.
I came to this video thinking.... Oh, another chamber work (it's not my favorite type of Bach work) but within a minute I was already caught up in it and in the deep communion of Bach, the instrument and Mr. Sato. Beautiful, profound and technically perfect
Since I found your channel about three weeks ago I started binge watching your videos. I just can't stop! I love Bach's music for more than 30 years now, but I'm still far from being an expert. The Nederlandse Bachvereniging changed my listening approach completely. This is so different from all I listened to before and I feel that I can't go back to where I came from. I also love your interviews. They're very educational and I learned so many things about baroque instruments and how and why they are so important for an authentic sound. Thank you so much for your outstanding work in general and for Mr. Sato's interpretation of Bach's sonatas and partitas in particular. I can hardly wait to watch your next upload.
I personally prefer a moderate amount of reverberation, so I feel the acoustics of the room is a bit too much. But I guess everyone has their own preferences.
@@alanleoneldavid1787 Yes, you are correct, the ceilings were high, but... there was a lot of intricately carved and molded wood and plaster on the ceilings and walls as well as many heavy curtains and heavily upholstered furniture, and above all, there would have been people, both standing and sitting, all dressed in natural fibers. So to sum up, no, I do not believe the sound would have reverberated as much or been as echo-y in Bach"s time as it does in this hall. The playing is masterful and exquisite, and Mr Sato's sensitivity and ability to modulate his volume did help lessen the reverberations a lot. I still believe the acoustics of this hall can be improved by strategically hanging natural fiber tapestry or curtains, especially in the recordings of the younger players featured on this channel. For example, the recording of the D Minor Partita"s Allemande by the young and talented Zohra Jongerius (and I stress that I am not finding fault with her playing but only with the acoustics of the hall) ua-cam.com/video/Qon7AaH3UOI/v-deo.html I just can't understand how people don't recognize the excessive reverberations and echo! Maybe my ears are too sensitive.
YES! I couldn't figure out why this music is so enrapturing! It is in part due to the amazing work of this musician, in part to the composer, in part to the instrument, the room, and in part to the humanity engrained within these notes and tones.
Soy violinista aunque no buena (es una suerte tocar el violin incluso regular). La música de Bach es sublime e interpretada en las manos de Sato....ufff que queréis que os diga. Igual lo veis exagerado pero me da esperanza en la humanidad. Si los seres humanos somos capaces de hacer cosas tan bellas, aunque en estos tiempos andemos un poco perdidos hay esperanza. Parece que divago pero no tanto...Gracias a Bach por imaginar tanta belleza y a Sato por hacérnosla llegar. ❤
WHEN SHUNZU SATO IS PLAYING, I AM SO MOVED THAT THE PURITY AND QUALITY OF THE SOUND AND PHRASE LENGTHS IS SO PERFECT THAT I CAN SCARCELY ASORB THE BEAUTY. WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES IT CAN SOUND LIKE TWO SEPERATE VIOLINS PLAYING. ONCE I START LISTENING I CAN NOT BREAK AWAY TO LISTEN TO OTHER MUSIC. I AM GLUED TO STAY WITH THIS BACH, THIS SATO. JUST A VERY HIGH FORM OF ECSTATIC ART, INDEED.
What a privilege and satisfaction it must be to play the Sonatas and Partitas with that violin, gut strings, and bow, in that space. What a sound, interpretation and execution. Waves of gorgeous passages fill the space and, as though a symphony, the mind of the listener.
I for one would love the chance to ay on such an instrument. Probably need to get a bit better before i deserve the chance to even touch a baroque bow!
Whenever I experience an accomplished and professional musician as this, I who have studied the classical guitar for over 43 years, know of the thousands of hours spent in practice and refinement.
La música de Bach siempre me causa una admiración que cada día crece. Las fugas para el violín son algo increible. Sato: Excelente. Tiene un punto de libertad en el tempo que convence.
One of the best. Alana Youseffian is also in this league and a delight to hear. I don't know why, but baroque music on period violins just seems more joyful.
This is an incredible performance. Thank you for giving your heart, mind and soul to this transcendent music. Every stroke of the bow is made with exalted love. It resonates so beautifully. Thank you, Sato.

I am entranced with the bass in the andante sounding like coming from a separated and independent instrument, looking at how much nuance the other voices are given. A few minutes ago I was listening to an album by Gilles Apap, titled Music for Solo Violin, which again includes the BWV 1003 Andante. And I thought the album title must have been a misnomer, because it really sounded like there was another instrument. So I went looking for a performance video and found yours. Surely Mr. Sato is a an impressive performer and quite inspirational.
Wunderschöne und lyrische Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Sonate im gut phrasierten Tempo mit seidigem Ton der Solovioline und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die Doppelgriffe klingen traumhaft schön. Echt unvergleichlicher Violinist!
I am sitting in my music school listening to this amazing piece. And The piano in one of the rooms lined up perfectly with this performance. At least for some time
Music is a language that everyone knows how to speak, some more fluently than others. Sato, in modern terms, has a musical 'accent' in the ears of us perfect pitch people, because he is playing about one whole step down from what we all see today. However, it is more similar to how violins were tuned in Bach's time. However, to most people with relative pitch, there is no difference. I have been playing violin for ten years, and am very fluent in musical notation, sightreading, and music theory. I have a lot of experience, and I have to say: This person is GOOD.
J'aime vraiment beaucoup la Liberté donnée dans la Fugue si incroyable, a la fois dès la Conception d'une Fugue au Violon, AINSI que cette interprétation/ re_ création de Mr SATO LÀ est cette MAGIE à nulle autre pareille🌟 Mercii au Messager🧡💫🌈
I must say I have huge respect for Mr. Shusnke's Bach interpretation and listen to it quite often. A question. in Andante(3rd mov.), he plays E, instead of written C(measure 22) on the 2nd beat when he plays that measure, 1st time and 2nd time also. As far as I know, it seems Mr. Shunske plays music as it is written(1st time) and does huge variation when he repeats but here, measure 22..I want to know whether it is mistake or he did it on purpose. thank you
Excellent player and a very beautiful instrument. The fingerboard and the tailpiece have those nice inlays. I also observed that he doesn’t have a finetuner on the E string, no shoulder rest, no chinrest, and a very short fingerboard, all according to the baroque set up. And of course a baroque bow.
L'incredibile liricità unita alla ambigua polifonia violinistic rende il Bach colui che scrive la musica a violino solo più completa ed interessante all'ascolto di qualsiasi altro capriccio o pezzo a violino solo
Die polifonie moet seker baie moeilik wees. Net Bach sou dink om 'n fuga vir 'n viool te skryf. Hierdie interpretasie is die beste wat ek nog gehoor het. Seker 40 ure 'n dag se oefen... (ja ek weet Nederlanders kan Afrikaans lees, Ik bergrijp als je Nederlands skryf).
Edit: I don’t know what sheet music I was looking at because nothing I can find now has a G#, maybe I was just hallucinating from practicing too much... One thing that confuses me is that the very second note is written as a G#, but every recording I can find plays an open G, why? (0:13) Another interesting thing here is that he plays with an A that's way below 440, almost at a G, sound so deep and full :)
There can be no doubt about G natural. The lower line moves A-G-F-E, G# TO F would result in an unacceptable augmented 2nd. A-G-F-E is the descending tetrachord of the melodic minor scale.
I have never seen any edition, Urtext or otherwise, that has a printed G♯ as the second note. Which edition are you using? I'd recommend either the Bärenreiter or the International/Galamian (which has the autograph in the back). Even the best engravings won't tell you how to play the piece (although there are clues in Bach's autograph with how he beams melismas, among other things), but the right pitches are definitely a start.
Yes, I enjoyed this a lot. But I think it should be said that this highly emotional, mannered, dissected interpretation of the sonata would be incomprehensible to anyone who had not heard a more balanced performance of it that allows you to discern the structure. I would recommend listening to Arthur Grumiaux play this a couple of times before approaching Sato as an exciting deviation from the norm.

I honestly think he is one of the greatest interpreters of Bach’s solo violin music
Hard disagree.. too indulgent. Cares more about sound than structure.

Personaly I think Hilary Hahn's interpretations are better. I don't like Sato's tempo inconsistency, he uses way to much rubato. Heifetz wold be crazy with that lol
Sato takes this music just one step further to heaven. He discloses the emotion that is hidden inside.
i love his extra ornamentations! they make this sonata his own and it makes me wonder why nobody talks about the musical individuality of shunske sato!
Indeed Shunske is very special! But also some Early Music musicians explore this aspect of improvising some ornamentations mainly on the repetitions through Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas. Maybe you can also listen to other baroque violinists just for fun 😊🍀
Simply put, the man is a MONSTER violinist. But he's an even better MUSICIAN.
Sensei SATO a, plus que beaucoup d'entre les très grands interprètes de Bach, une LIBERTÉ immense, peut être due à son rapport très fusionnel avec son fabuleux instrument qui " sonne" lui aussi de façon si libre.

One of the best arguments I've seen for the use of period instruments. And the embellishments on the repetitions of the andante are magnificent.
Yes! Period instruments! So much better!!!
@@danielschechter8130 Depends
@@danielschechter8130 if you're Sato, sure
Period instruments are always better on period music. Bach on the instruments Bach used. It doesn't depend...

I admire Sato so much, for his skill, but also his dedication to music
So often when i just sit back to relax and fully experience these melodies in every fiber of my being i so many times just end up in the extascy where i want to jump up and scream "YES YES YES" as it rubs my entity with sounds that are not focused into rhythm patterns but pure bliss state of flowing through the way of play that i find is the most supreme of us beings as it doesnt mean anything else but the wonderful unfolding of the next note that moves my core.

the long reverberation time of that room makes this music even more intersting as it already comes along by nature.
I personally prefer a moderate amount of reverberation, so I feel the acoustics of the room is a bit too much. But I guess everyone has their own preferences.
