Organists are like acrobats. Four keyboards plus another for their feet. It’s so moving to watch them in action. And they are so lucky that such sublime music is there for them.
Leo Van Doeselaar is quickly becoming my favorite (living) organist! Bach himself will always be my first, even though I've never heard him play. Maybe some day.
Personally I love the harpsichord. I can't understand how the piano overshadowed the harpsichord. Harpsichords are magnificent. Crystal clear sound. Beautiful music written for it are what dreams are made of.
It’s always lovely to listen both to the original concerto and this interpretation of the transcription. Bach made good choices for what to copy down, and as they say, Vivaldi taught him to “think musically”. I wish they had met.
Bach made organ arrangements of three concertos by Vivaldi. His cousin Johann Gottfried Walther was also a master arranger and transcribed another Vivaldi concerto for organ along with several concertos by other composers including Telemann and Albinoni. To confuse things further Walther was the teacher of a young aristocrat, Prince Johann Ernst of Saxe-Weimar, who was a capable composer and Bach made organ arrangements of one of his concertos and a fragment of another.
Beautiful performance of this perfectly arranged masterpiece in a lively tempo with transparent sound of the well-restored organ and with carefully controlled dynamics. Truly awesome organist!
This is one evidence I use when I say that Vivaldi, despise being or not one of my favourite composers, was a great one. If Sebastian Bach, who is considered by the musicologists the greatest composers of them all liked Vivaldi, which musicologist could disagree?
Such an absolutely brilliant piece, on such an absolutely magnificent instrument, so very masterly played. This piece was one of my father's favorites. It would fill our home... This performance is so beautiful. Thank you, Mr. van Doeselaar, and the Netherlands Bach Society.
Sir: I do not give praise so easily. Still, your virtuosity is for the ages. It transcends time. You understand every aspect of the music to which you give new life. My heart thanks you. Only JS Bach himself could have more beautifully performed.
And there's a reason for that :). Go listen to the interview with Leo where he explains that this is one of the only pieces where Bach specifically prescribed registration. ua-cam.com/video/yDckcUITj3w/v-deo.html
This magnificent work represents a tribute by Bach to Vivaldi. I am thrilled to hear this Bach transcription for organ of the Vivaldi Concerto Grosso for two violins and cello (L'estro Armonico number 11), because it is my favorite baroque concerto. It is clear that Bach (the unquestioned master of baroque music) greatly admired the Vivaldi concertos whose printed versions he was privileged to have access to, as evidenced by the fact that he studied them carefully and transcribed several of them for other instruments and instrumental ensembles, including this one.
Yes. These kind of stops are mainly from Renaissance era. - the "Vogelgeschrei" is also called "Rossignol" (nightingale) in french. It is generally constructed with 3 pipes partially dropped in a water tank. It produces a hissing sound that may resemble a bird song. You may hear it here: ua-cam.com/video/mkNaY5fQqro/v-deo.html - the "Zimbelstern" is a small crown of bells. A rotating weight strikes them each in turn. - the "Storm" is an accessory imitating the thunder, by simultaneously making several low notes of the pedal speak. They have become very rare nowadays, I mean there are no more of these kind of stops in modern organs.
@@generalackbar245 funnily, there is an organ with a Zimbelstern in Christuskirche, Karlsruhe,Germany . Its a Klais organ from 1966, the pipes were kept, but most of the other parts were built new some years ago....
Merhaba. Thanks to the precious Netherlands Bach Society for this amazing piano recital. How lucky, I am listening to this recital in my house in Izmir. Despite all the hardship and lack of opportunities in my life, I feel refreshed when I see some high-class content. Thanks and thanks again.
There is no historical indication that Bach and Vivaldi ever met. However, it is no secret that Bach adored Vivaldi's music and took it so seriously that Bach HAD to reconstitute it by making various arrangements of Vivaldi's works. Some musicologists assert that Bach actually LEARNED from Vivaldi's music and tried to make (his own music) more dramatic as a result of Vivaldi's ideas. What I am curious to know is HOW Bach was able to obtain the scores to so many of Vivaldi's works? I assume Bach had "musical connections" in various countries, and likely that included Italy. But publishing and dissemination of mail and music must have been MUCH more difficult than it is now...and not to mention expensive. But none of this stopped Bach from getting as much of Vivaldi's music as he could get. I assume Bach performed them too, but I don't know if there is any written record of these performances. I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in this issue. We know Bach adored Buxtehude's organ music. It's a pity that Buxtehude is not performed more. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
A very interesting subject indeed. A lot of music from Italian composers (including Vivaldi) was published in Amsterdam. Via Prince Johann Ernst some of this music was brought to Weimar, where Bach transcribed it. Organist Reitze Smits explains this more in detail here: allofbach.com/en/bwv/bwv-593/#organist-reitze-smits
@@bach Thank you so much for this very interesting URL that helps EXPLAIN Bach's ability to obtain Vivaldi's music. Like any extremely accomplished musician of ANY time, Bach certainly would be expected to have a vast interest in what other composers were doing. Obviously the score was the only way to transmit this...or to actually GO to where it was being played. We can make a reasonable assumption that Bach looked as these scores as a Christmas gift and we can only imagine Bach's joy at opening up the scores and playing them in his mind...first and then on the organ and harpsichord. Yet, according to the discussion above, Bach tried to remain true to the scores. In THAT, we can see Bach's love of Vivaldi showing through. Bach could not "play" any recordings of those scores. His only way to share his love of Vivaldi was on the organ and making transcriptions, which he himself could play. One has a fantasy of what they would have said to each other had they actually met. I think that Bach would have loved to hear Vivaldi play the concertos himself on the violin. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
I do believe Bach met Buxtehude in that famous anecdote of him walking many miles north to meet the great Master. Don’t forget also that Bach’s cousin, Johann Gottfried Walther, was a very able-minded encyclopedist and not only wrote a history of organists and their music, but he also had a very large sheet music collection. Bach very likely might have gotten Vivaldi’s music from Walther. Bach also liked not just the Italian school of music but also the French, having copied Nicolas de Grigny’s “Livre d’orgue” (published in 1699,, but Bach got to it when it was republished in approx 1711) and this he also got from his cousin, Walther. I also agree that Buxtehude’s music should be performed by the Netherlands Bach Society, if for nothing else but for historical interest as Bach was very much taken in with Buxtehude’s “art”.

It's actually Vivaldi's concerto for two violins RV 565. Bach wrote an arrangement for his patron, the count of Saxe-Wimar, who brought sheet music during his one year trip from where it was published in Amsterdam. Bach however did a superb transposition by splitting the reply of the stretto on Cello and bass continuo on a second manual. He also exceptionally registered all the organ stop combinations which he usually left lose in his own music.
He must have learned a lot from Vivaldi by transcribing so many of his pieces.
5 років тому
The transcriptions were commissioned works. If there was anything to learn, he could have simply studied the string scores. At the time Bach made these transcriptions, he was employed (1707-1717) by the two coreigning dukes of Weimar as their court organist, concertmaster and composer. At that time, Italian string concertos were very popular in Germany. Keyboard transcriptions of Italian string concertos were also popular. Bach also transcribed to keyboard some string concertos in the Italian style by a young student* of his. Surely, you're not suggesting that Bach learned from his student by transcribing his string concertos. The student was Prince Johann Ernst of Saxe-Weimar, the younger half brother of the younger of the coreigning dukes.
Are you talking about Bach? Heck no, if anything they all learned from him, the best! Only reason Bach would transcribe these concertos to the Organ is for the purpose of enjoyment/entertainment & leisure for it to achieve a more different taste instead of a boring concerto. Bach did this for fun, he knew the music is not at his level of intelligence but just for the sake of being interestingly different, he made an adventure out of some special Vivaldi selections chosen by Bach himself to become as an experience for a different taste of beauty served on the organ, since he was such a big fan of the church instrument.
@@ProdigyImprovisation I beg to disagree. Bach learned a lot from his predecessors, and from his contemporaries. His music was so interesting in part because he integrated many elements from various schools. On the other hand I'm not sure Vivaldi learned a lot from Bach...
Alain Bruguieres I’m not sure of that either, but I’d rather prefer they probably did if they knew who he was? Because Bach wasn’t as famous in his days as others like Handel & many others who worked on royalty’s behalf. Bach was more focused on old fashioned type of music even of his time his music wasn’t as popular & considered old fashioned as other composers who were more contemporary then him. I heard Bach studied & learned more the works of the past, hence he is the master of contrapuntal music. Most famous Composers of Bach’s time had enough of contrapuntal music & just wanted more simplicity for enjoyment of the ear rather then focusing on fugues, subjects, etc. Eventually in his later years, Bach became known as the man who can manipulate music in any way contrapuntally & the master of old fashioned music. He learned & influenced more the music before his time not the music of his contemporaries. That’s why I say if anything they all learned from him because he comes from the original source & doesn’t play silly games. He would have admired composers of his time, but mostly Vivaldi in my opinion not for the purpose of being old fashioned but Vivaldi for being one of the more emotional expressive contemporary composer of his time. I believe this is the reason why Bach would’ve admired his music, but not admired it in his own level of being strict for contrapuntal music. I’d say out of the contemporaries he probably would’ve admired Vivaldi the most. But definitely didn’t learn a lot from him, instead would’ve simply integrated many contemporary elements & ideas from him in order to have more colors of emotions available to him by being open minded about his contemporaries at the same time but other then that, he would’ve learned nothing else because contemporary music is so much more simple then contrapuntal music.
@@ProdigyImprovisation The concept of Bach as a greatest composer is a product of 19th and early 20th century German mysicology, which generally tended to show "superiority" of German music over Italian and French art. Don' forget, that the roots of baroque music are in Italy, Germany was provincial region In comparison to the Italy.

That's the craziest thing about Bach's music. This was "pop" music, written as musicians should be able to play... and it's insanely complex!

This is Bach at its best and played superbly!
It's actually Vivaldi's concerto for two violins RV 565. Bach wrote an arrangement for his patron, the count of Saxe-Wimar, who brought sheet music during his one year trip from where it was published in Amsterdam. Bach however did a superb transposition by splitting the reply of the stretto on Cello and bass continuo on a second manual. He also exceptionally registered all the organ stop combinations which he usually left lose in his own music.
He must have learned a lot from Vivaldi by transcribing so many of his pieces.
The transcriptions were commissioned works. If there was anything to learn, he could have simply studied the string scores.
At the time Bach made these transcriptions, he was employed (1707-1717) by the two coreigning dukes of Weimar as their court organist, concertmaster and composer. At that time, Italian string concertos were very popular in Germany. Keyboard transcriptions of Italian string concertos were also popular.
Bach also transcribed to keyboard some string concertos in the Italian style by a young student* of his. Surely, you're not suggesting that Bach learned from his student by transcribing his string concertos. The student was Prince Johann Ernst of Saxe-Weimar, the younger half brother of the younger of the coreigning dukes.
Are you talking about Bach? Heck no, if anything they all learned from him, the best! Only reason Bach would transcribe these concertos to the Organ is for the purpose of enjoyment/entertainment & leisure for it to achieve a more different taste instead of a boring concerto. Bach did this for fun, he knew the music is not at his level of intelligence but just for the sake of being interestingly different, he made an adventure out of some special Vivaldi selections chosen by Bach himself to become as an experience for a different taste of beauty served on the organ, since he was such a big fan of the church instrument.
@@ProdigyImprovisation I beg to disagree. Bach learned a lot from his predecessors, and from his contemporaries. His music was so interesting in part because he integrated many elements from various schools. On the other hand I'm not sure Vivaldi learned a lot from Bach...
Alain Bruguieres I’m not sure of that either, but I’d rather prefer they probably did if they knew who he was? Because Bach wasn’t as famous in his days as others like Handel & many others who worked on royalty’s behalf. Bach was more focused on old fashioned type of music even of his time his music wasn’t as popular & considered old fashioned as other composers who were more contemporary then him. I heard Bach studied & learned more the works of the past, hence he is the master of contrapuntal music. Most famous Composers of Bach’s time had enough of contrapuntal music & just wanted more simplicity for enjoyment of the ear rather then focusing on fugues, subjects, etc. Eventually in his later years, Bach became known as the man who can manipulate music in any way contrapuntally & the master of old fashioned music. He learned & influenced more the music before his time not the music of his contemporaries. That’s why I say if anything they all learned from him because he comes from the original source & doesn’t play silly games. He would have admired composers of his time, but mostly Vivaldi in my opinion not for the purpose of being old fashioned but Vivaldi for being one of the more emotional expressive contemporary composer of his time. I believe this is the reason why Bach would’ve admired his music, but not admired it in his own level of being strict for contrapuntal music. I’d say out of the contemporaries he probably would’ve admired Vivaldi the most. But definitely didn’t learn a lot from him, instead would’ve simply integrated many contemporary elements & ideas from him in order to have more colors of emotions available to him by being open minded about his contemporaries at the same time but other then that, he would’ve learned nothing else because contemporary music is so much more simple then contrapuntal music.
@@ProdigyImprovisation The concept of Bach as a greatest composer is a product of 19th and early 20th century German mysicology, which generally tended to show "superiority" of German music over Italian and French art. Don' forget, that the roots of baroque music are in Italy, Germany was provincial region In comparison to the Italy.
Sir, I thank You ! Dank je ! During this pandemic situation this music makes me happy. Best wishes from your neighbour in Hamburg/Germany. May God bless You !
Più ascolto Vivaldi e più me ne innamoro!
Adoro questo concerto di Bach.
That organ sounds just so amazing
Lovely animated performance, and very interesting to read the comments as to who was influenced by who.
Bach gave GOD all the Glory for his compositions and that is where the true influence comes from.
Magnifique on ferme les yeux et on est au paradis de la musique
