@@saurabhsaoji8680 You're right : nothing here to compare. Marten Root played a piece composed by J. S.Bach. He learned and remembered every single note in the score. That was his aim - his effort.

Quantz also composed fantasies for solo flute. Lost for centuries, they were rediscovered during the 1980s. Brilliant music. P.S. Beautiful performance, Marten Root!
Not many players can perform this piece by heart. Not only the interpretation, but the work of remembering is a great achievement, and the courage to perform completely solo.

Marten Root is niet alleen een geweldige traverso-speler maar ook een zeer goede pedagoog. Dat ik verder blijf traverso studeren is voor een deel aan hem te danken. Maestro Root, hartelijk dank voor je geweldige uitvoeringen waar we dankzij het internet van kunnen genieten en dit nog meer dan in een concertzaal omdat we de precieze stand van de mond kunnen volgen en onszelf kunnen corrigeren. Bovendien zijn Marten en Bach een hemelse match!
Some years ago I discovered the fact, that every orchestral music until the mid 19th centure was composed for wooden flute, I did not know that before. Only then I understood how beautiful this instrument is.
Wow! His Sarabande takes my breath away. So sensitive! And his ornamentation in the repeat, even though complex, fits smoothly into the piece seamlessly, as if it were written that way. I love the mellow sound of the instrument. As a bonus, he has the body language to match his sensitive dynamics. This is my new role model for playing that piece.
If you’re not Brazilian and you’re here, just go search for a song 1.7 billion YT song called “BumBum TanTan” It’s a Brazilian-Funk song, and all time most-viewed Brazilian VIDEO on YT, with 1.7 Billions The point? You’ll see that he used the same notes progression, even the beginning of this Partita,Which shows how great Bach was, influencing Pop songs even today PS: I’m not criticizing the MC Fioti, an ex-poor guy from favela who studied a little bit of music and made the Hit, I actually think he was pretty creative, and through Bach, he could leave poverty and give a Royalty life to his family. Although makes sense that he made 0 good songs after that one.

It is the slight (and controlled) intonation deviations of some notes that gives this performance such amazing character. Such a beautiful sound, invites to meditation.
Wonderful. Thanks to all who have been involved in this performance: first to M. Root and his masterful interpretation, then to Bach and his music, to the sound and video engineers, to the NBS and its Bach Project and finally to the craftsman who made that flute with such a beatiful sound
I'm imagining myself watching an art film where the audience members are statues... This partita lends itself well to abstraction... Such a haunting masterpiece!! Thank you NBS!
It is masterful. The sarabande finally takes all its meaning, its mystery, its "creaminess". On a "modern" flute, this sarabande is one of the most difficult pieces I know... Thank you very much Mr. Root ! C'est magistral. La sarabande prend enfin tout son sens, son mystère, son "onctuosité". Sur une flûte "moderne", cette sarabande est l'une des pièces les plus difficiles que je connaisse... Merci beaucoup Mr. Root !
Many thanks to the Netherlands Bach Society for their continual work towards bringing the elegance and the flare of Bach’s music. Beautiful work. This recording is magnificent and Mr. Root has done a tremendous job with the piece.
Incredible - each note has presence, and the performance as a whole has a structure and flow. I long for the day I can explain and think through this more intelligently and fluently, but for now I am content with being able to identify basic things and, most importantly, listening in enjoyment. Also, I learn a lot from the comments on these videos, with regards to history, performance, and theory behind the music of Bach, which is a wonderful thing in itself.
Ich weiß nicht wer es sagte. Aber es stimmt: Die Tiefe von Bachs Musik ist einzigartig. Wer sich darauf einlässt, dem können sich neue Universen öffnen. Eine wunderbare Komposition großartig gespielt. Vielen Dank dafür.
The blind (wohlbemerkt!) organist Helmut Walcha said that. He recorded the complete works of Bach twice. The first was right after the war on intact historical instruments my country (USA) had not bombed to bits. (Ugghh. 😘) He wanted to do his part to offer his country the best possible "vistas" during a difficult--nay: impossible--time. Walcha ist für mich ein Deutscher alle Deutschen. Nicht "das andere Deutschland." Nein: Deutschland tout court.
It is not easy to achieve that pure and natural tone of the instrument in baroque and at the same time so expressive music. Bach's music is beautifully complicated. In the interpretation is simply perfect is a teacher of the instrument.
This is one of the least things to be worried about, this doesn't bother so much. Also the baroque violin family does a lot of noise too and this is no problem.
It bothers me. It’s the the thing you work on, so the music can sing and not sound like a beat box, which admittedly has its own charms. Yes, slamming keys down is very disruptive to the illusion of legato. The other thing that’s very difficult on flute is not popping the keys open. So the tone is always matching the ones next to it.
I love Bach’s pieces for solo instruments the most of any of his music..always very complex yet never sacrificing the beauty of the music for showing off virtuosity.
Já sei, inclusive, onde MC Fioti ouviu a Partita Prá Flauta em A Menor: foi na coletânea 'BEST BACH 100". Tenho essa coletânea no meu acervo. Foi essa coletânea que me fez começar a conhecer a excepcional Música de Bach, A MEU VER,, o Maior Gênio da História da Música. Essa coletânea tem 6 CD's e no CD 5 tem gravada essa Partita.
sim, com a música de Bach, tudo é envolvente, qualquer um arrepia os pelos, À respeito da musica de Bach, Einstein disse: "O que tenho a dizer sobre a obra de Bach? Ouçam-na, toquem-na, amem-na - e calem-se!"
He’s playing a French baroque flute at French pitch… I’m pretty sure. I didn’t realize that’s historically ok to do. I suppose since all music was once new at a time when there already were certain styles of instruments, i could actually play all of Bach’s flute pieces on a delicious low pitched French flute and nobody can tell me “that’s not historically correct”. Oh how beautiful and happy.
Bamboo flutes crafted for Indian Classical music can do this and much more. Not just major and minor scales but a lot more chromatic stuff with slurs and slides and what not mate.
I was confused, like how doesn’t it have the metal thingys and still be a flute. D: can i do a recorder without the headpiece making the whistle sound for me but still the recorder keys? would it be considered a WHAT
I am so moved by this... what a masterpiece... I'm so grateful to live in the XXI Century where I can watch to such a beautiful rendition without having to leave home (which is impossible right now, because of the pandemic)
You will think me a sentimental old woman; but I do know what it is to play the flute. This had me in floods of tears all the way through, just for the beauty of it. Love Hilary Jones formerly Tilney
Silly. As Oxygen wasn't discovered until 22 years after the death of Bach and the fact not published until 24 years after his demise...................... No it's not worth going into replying to your stupid comment.
This has me sobbing. Bach’s solo works impart a part of his soul that feels almost linguistic in its twistings and turnings. The major entrance in the Sarabande makes my soul ache.
No matter if it‘s a single instrument or an ensemble, Bach‘s pieces have the same distinct character and standard of quality... and wonderful interpretation, as usual by the NBS, we cannot praise you enough for this whole project!
Bach seems to capture especially in the start of the piece the undying longing for something beyond reality something magical and enchanting we can believe in from a time before the invention of technology
Both the player and the composer deserve a medal. Very well done mr. Marten Root, I have enjoyed this video very much. I also love the Allemande on recorder a lot, but this was absolutely stunning as well. Thanks for bringing us so much joy of music made by JS Bach.
There's so much thoughtfulness and precise detail in this performance, a structuring of phrasing that is beautifully aligned with the harmonic / melodic path. And, at the same time containing unique choices throughout made by the performer that are organically woven within the inherent structural fabric of the work, all the while making it absolutely committed to beauty. There's so much more going on here. Thank you so very much Marten Root. Absolutely beautiful.
Sure. Actually every soloist know the tunes and play them by heart. Sometimes, you can see a score, but it's only a memory aid. It's not time to read the notes when you play in front of an audience. You have much more to put into the music.
all semi-serious flutists know this piece by memory - it's arguably one of the most important pieces for a flutist nowadays to know, and everyone learns it in university if they hadn't already learned it before
Lovely, your tempos are wise. It sounds so much better on this type of flute. It is such a beautiful partita. When it comes to classical (baroque) music, no doubt Bach is the Master of masters. Bravo!!
I must say one of the most inspiring things to hear Root play all alone, and it's overwhelming in a great way because of how challenging it really is in all aspects. From a woodwind background I am in awe of how beautifully this is played technically, and even more so in how the music itself shine absolutely the most
What wonderful playing of a miraculous piece. So many things to enjoy but for me it's the unerring sense of where the music is going allied to such a seductive sound, at once sweet and powerful. Such a lovely lower register, which really "fixes" the bottom line. Many congratulations to all concerned for making this available.
שקד בר-שי “Standard” according to whom? I’ve read that some French orchestras played as low as A = 392 ... and that _Chorton_ in Leipzig under Bach’s tenure was A = 470.
One could argue that this is a very ordinary pitch and a modern flute playing this would sound at b minor :) Besides, as the other commenter said, 415 was far from being the "standard" pitch in the 18th century
@@fffffffffffffffffffffffffflo yes, you could Google "baroque flute", but you could also have a look on the website of the builder who built this particular flute: www.aurinflutes.com/Fridtjof-Aurin-Traversos/Startseite.html
Incredible! If only people understood how much hard work it takes to play something like this. Congratulations to Mr. Root on his performance and I hope I can play the Traverso as good as him in the future! Edit: Also the high A of the Allemande was stunning!
Utterly beautiful! Have tried to play this piece on the recorder, hence appreciate how difficult it is. Love the flautist's own decorations on the repeats for the Sarabande.🌹🌹
That's a great performance. That first movement is such a balancing act between emphasizing the structure everywhere, and keeping the flow going. To me, this is one of the best performances I've heard of this movement. Ah, and he ignores that weird note at the start of the second half that was probably a typo. Good choice.
You shocked the Dickens out of me by taking the repeat in the Allemande before the cadenza (not as copied), so naturally. I've been doing it this way for a few years, also playing the chord for the d-minor false cadence. Never heard anyone else understand it this way. Looking forward to hearing the rest, now. Thanks !! !!! !! !!! !! !!! !! !!!
I'm so glad that I didn't learn the saxophone now, to be honest. It makes me think of Shannon Tweed films. The clarinet and flute are much nicer in my opinion. I can't imagine this piece on a sax at all.

Some very interesting phrasing that you don’t normally hear on this piece. I like it!
Beautiful performance on a beautiful instrument. Thx a lot!
Thank you for this moment where time flows with such ease, where inspiration takes over...
Excellent sound, great performance.
바하의 파르티타가 위대하다는 것은 진실입니다.
그렇지만 저 플룻 연주자도 대단한 연주력과 정서의 소유자라고 생각합니다.
👍👍👍👍👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Wereld cultuur erfgoed Super !
This is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you to NBS and Marten Root.
amazing that can play all those chromatic with cross-fingerings so in tune, without the benefit of side keys.
É a flauta envolvente que mexe com a mente de quem tá presente
As novinha saliente
Nojento.
Wow! This furniture leg sounds amazing!
lol
How refined and beautiful this music is!
Simply wonderful
Maravillosa musica.
This performance is superb. Odd to think that this amazing composition survived in a single copy.
To me, it is amazing how great this composition sounds played in other instruments such as the saxophones.
I'm so glad that I didn't learn the saxophone now, to be honest. It makes me think of Shannon Tweed films.
The clarinet and flute are much nicer in my opinion.
I can't imagine this piece on a sax at all.
