This Concerto is the op. 3 No 10 (for 4 violins) by Antonio Vivaldi. The version reproduced here is a transcription made by J. S. Bach for 4 keyboards. It should be presented as Vivaldi - Bach concerto .
Bach, like all of his contemporaries, took musical ideas from other composers and used them. In the 21st century, we might think of this as stealing IP. But not in Bach’s day. This work is not Vivaldi’s Concerto for four violins. It’s Bach’s Concerto for Four Harpsichords in A minor, BWV 1065. Check it out on IMSLP. The real debate should be about whether it’s appropriate to perform it on four pianos. And on this question, I’m happy to listen to either version.
3:44 - 7:06 this is why Bach made this clavier transcription: he used special shimmering sonority available on newly emerging hammer clavier PIANO ET FORTE that is not possible in violins
Какая чуда, какая прелесть! Надо же, 4 фоно, и такой унисон! Такая слаженность! Браво! А, что ещё можно пролепетать перед гением Баха!!!!!! И этими исполнителями.❤❤❤
I’ve heard and compared many string and keyboard versions and in my opinion this one is for me the very best version of Vivaldi’s masterpiece. By now i’ve listened to it over 100 times. It is wonderful for doing morning stretches, pushups, and dancing with 10 pound weights in each hand when one is 85 years old. Try it, you won’t be able to keep yourself still. It is, literally, very moving music!

Arrangement by Johann Sebastian Bach for 4 solo harpsichords (and later for 4 solo pianos) and string orchestra in A minor of this concerto by Antonio Vivaldi originally composed in B minor for 4 solo violins and string orchestra.
Absolutely wonderful! Truly fantastic! Thank you so much for uploading. Bach has always been one of my all time favourites and the playing on this is outstanding!
FUN! Did you notice that, as well as manuscript, they were all working with copious hand-written notes? Bravura performance, with everyone having a great time - as well as the audience! 🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
Bach admiró la obra de Vivaldi en vida, al punto de transcribir algunos de sus conciertos. Dato curioso ambos compositores fallecieron en la misma fecha 28 de Julio, pero en años diferentes 1741 Vivaldi y 1750 Bach.
Such amazing talent in one room. Bach himself played this, who were his other pianists, it must have been daunting to say the least. He wrote this for himself, of course. Great work. Great performance. Such gifted musicians. All.
The manuscript actually came from Vivaldi, & was probably written for Violin: Bach’s employer was very keen on the Italian style, & gave Bach several pieces for him to orchestrate for the instruments available…Bach saw the future, & it was the Piano (hence the masterwork - the 48 preludes & fugues, which allowed any keyboard instrument to be tuned & played with equality) It’s interesting, that for over a century, Vivaldi’s name was expunged from church records (he was an excommunicated priest) & all public works: It was during the great Bach Revival - headed by Mendelssohn -that music scholars began cataloguing Bach’s vast musical output:among the manuscripts were some pieces signed A Vivaldi - thus, the hunt was on for this mysterious - & obviously gifted person: once again, the sheer volume of work was yet to be discovered - even ‘The Four Seasons’ wasn’t performed until the 20th century - quite a while after the invention of elevators… Poor Snr Antonio died in poverty after travelling to Vienna to seek out a patron: Noblemen who were happy to purchase his work during ‘the Grand Tour’, with Venice in its Heyday, now found ‘a Guinea for every piece’ quite beyond their means… Such was the end for many - it’s hard for us to imagine that the ravishing music of Bach et al went ‘out of fashion’… Georg Friedrich Handel did alright - but that’s another story… 🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
@@Cristobels-Green-Bootsvery nice of you ; please accept some add-ons 1) Bach was mister nobody during his lifetime , he was the Organist at Weimar 2) Vivaldi was renowned all over Europe and his Music was published by top Netherland printers 3) Bach got a lot of printed Vivaldi's Concerts through his employer Prince Ersnt Saxen and he transcribed/arranged them for other instruments 4) it is well known and documented that Bach on his own 'borrowed' a lot from others Musicians 5) during the so called 'rediscovery' some dishonest biased Musicologists attributed to Bach what were only copies or arrangements not only of Vivaldi's Music but also of other Authors . CONCLUSION : It's time to 'revisit' and 'reconsider' the entire Production of Bach otherwise with the 'ever growing' Musical Education that GREATEST MUSICAL GENIUS will be taunted by an 'ever growing' suspect of plagiarism 😢😢😢
I don't really know if it's (the other versions I heard) the recording mic making the sound muddy. But as I said, this version sparkles, the best interpretation I discovered so far.
❤The middle part sounds like a murmuring creek (Bach’s name!). I bet this idea crossed Bach’s mind when he decided to make this transcription since such unique sound is not possible on the violins. But his early Piano et forte could make such bubbly sound similar to today’s pianos. This makes it the superb jewel of piano sonorities! Bravissimo to performers! Best recording of the piece!
@@juliak8093 thanks 😇😇 I thought the same two years ago 🤩🤩 Please go search and listen Vivaldi 580 by Giardino Armonico , or .. there's another performance with some 17 millions views . Have a good day .

Delightful composition friends, a very nice lesson of human civilization, when Bach is capable to express such a sincere admiration towards Vivaldi and his four violins concerto gets this new version on pianos, yeah, we have to learn a lot from these giants, what a great composition indeed, delightful, both, on violins or keyboards
@@soloists1 Please does anyone know where the public can get a CD of this incredible recording? Please advise if you do, I've spent hours trying to track one down. Very very best wishes :(
I have heard almost everything but there is an almost unknown piece for harpsichord by J.S Bach that sounds almost superhuman or God-like. I still think A. Vivaldi is very stimulating!
Félicitations les plus vives a tout les solistes et tout l orchestre.cette interprétation st extraordinaire et comme Bach est mon compositeur préféré , ce fut un moment magique.(je suis pianiste diplômée mais c est vers Bach que toujours je reviens .)❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you. A pleasure to listen too. The second part of the second mvt. is like lying in an alpine field of flowers alongside a gentle alpine stream.It kust keeps flowing. Allen Bordoley

For me the 2nd movement, as performed here, is one the most magical angelic works in music
Completamente de acuerdo

A wonderful arrangement by Bach of Vivaldi, beautifully managed by exceptional musicians
This is so beautiful. I would like to thank my seventh grade music teacher Ms. Campbell for introducing me to Bach. He is the greatest composer to me.
Пусть это только моё мнение, но эта музыка божественна!!..Исполнение блестящее!! Высший класс!!! Бесподобно! Музыканты от Бога!!! Преклоняюсь!!.!
It would help to have 4 ears to fully appreciate this. Thanks for sharing this on UA-cam.
Nothing replaces this type of music.
3:44 - 7:06 this is why Bach made this clavier transcription: he used special shimmering sonority available on newly emerging hammer clavier PIANO ET FORTE that is not possible in violins
Best interpretation of this concerto ever.
not sure about that
Ich hoffe, dass diese wunderbar Solisten und Musikern weiter gesund und am Leben sind🙏! Gott segne sie und ihr Land🙏!
With art we decorate space. With music we decorate time.
Time well spent
Божественно! ❤❤❤❤
Bach plus Vivaldi... magnifico
I cannot stop listening to this. Especially largetto.
Beautiful and exciting.
wonderful! thanks for that!
At age 86, this interpretation of my beloved Bach still fills my soul with joy and wonder!
Life is a joy and wonder to be fel😅❤❤❤❤❤❤
Magnifique interprétation qui emporte le coeur et l'esprit!!
Bach was very impressed by Vivaldi's enthusiasm for the music. usually Bach's music is very calmful and rational, Vivaldi inspired his great passion
Какая чуда, какая прелесть! Надо же, 4 фоно, и такой унисон! Такая слаженность! Браво! А, что ещё можно пролепетать перед гением Баха!!!!!! И этими исполнителями.❤❤❤
It is Bach's transcription of Vivaldi's concerto RV580 for 4 violins.. so the music is mostly Vivaldi's.
Bach is very religious. Look at his oratories.
I’ve heard and compared many string and keyboard versions and in my opinion this one is for me the very best version of Vivaldi’s masterpiece. By now i’ve listened to it over 100 times. It is wonderful for doing morning stretches, pushups, and dancing with 10 pound weights in each hand when one is 85 years old. Try it, you won’t be able to keep yourself still. It is, literally, very moving music!
Ad mea v'esrim !
All of Bach’s music will be the immortal lullaby of the soul and will quench and moisturize my parched soul
This is Vivaldi though, Op.3 Nbr 10 concerto for 4 violins and orchestra.

This is SOOOO amazing and wonderful thank you all so much for your great focus and effort. Truly breathtaking
Wow! what a swift, precise performance and such a crisp sound! The pianos almost sounds like harpsicords.
Quite frankly, I like Bach's concertos for harpsichord better when played on pianos, they contrast better to the string instruments.
Прекрасное исполнение, прекрасная аранжировка, прекрасно всё! Спасибо!!!
This performance is comfortable to the ear and to the mind and to the soul

After many years, I heard Vivaldi's 4 violins Concerto in B minor and realized it was first written for violin. Lol...now I can die in peace.
Sublime💫
The most beautiful single piece of music in the world! Thanks.
You make me BLUSH ! .. says Vivaldi . Indeed this is ALL VIVALDI Music , nobody's else . Many compliments to Bach for the Genial Transcription 😮😮😮
Agreed, although Bach's d minor 2 violin concerto gives stiff competition
This Wonderful performance embodies the musical and religious aesthetics of Bach

Fantastic.
what a beautiful performace, One can't help but fall in love with this piece and the way it is played particularly by such musical pianists
Can it be any better? Wow! My favorite.
