Johann Joachim Quantz (Hanß Jochim Quantz) was born in Oberscheden near Hanover on 30 January 1697 and died in Potsdam on 12 July 1773. He succeeded in establishing an exceptional career primarily as flautist and composer, but also as author and flute maker. When his father died prematurely in 1707, he was initially apprenticed to his uncle, Justus Quantz, a city professional musician in Merseburg. Quantz during the course of his apprenticeship familiarized himself with a number of instruments, concentrating on the violin, oboe and trumpet. In a later published autobiographical summary, he reported that he additionally became familiar with all other instruments including cornetts, trombones, hunting horn, recorder, bassoon, German double bass and other. Through his teachers, Quantz became familiar with the works of leading composers at that time such as Telemann, Heinichen, Biber and Corelli. During a three-month mourning period at the Merseburg court in 1714, Quantz was temporarily employed as a city wait in Radenberg and Pirna where he first came into contact with copies of several violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi: their ritornellos would "in later periods serve as a good model" as described in his autobiography.
Quantz was appointed by August II, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony, as an oboist in the newly formed chamber ensemble "Polish Chapel" which was active both in Warsaw and Dresden. For Quantz, this meant promotion from city wait to the profession of orchestral musician and e abandoned the violin, up till now his primary instrument, in favor of the oboe. At a later point, Quantz reports: "I was however hindered from progressing on both instruments, which was a matter close to my heart. My dissatisfaction prompted me to devote myself intensively to the transverse flute which I had up until then only practiced on my own".
A large proportion of the compositional output of Johann Joachim Quantz has been preserved up to the present day, in particular the works written for the crown prince and subsequent King Frederick II. The approximately 291 surviving flute concertos from the most substantial group of works alongside vocal music, several orchestral works, trio and quartet sonatas and around 184 sonatas for transverse flute and basso continuo (this video). It is probable that some of these works were composed during the Dresden period and were subsequently incorporated into repertoire in Berlin, but the majority of the concertos were created specifically for Frederick II and took the stylistic preferences of the royal flute pupil into consideration. These works show that Quantz was able to blend the wide palette of impressions gained from his teachers and his extensive travels to Italy, France and England to form a highly individual style.

How can I have enjoyed classical music for 60 years and not heard Quantz?! Thoroughly enjoyable. Most fascinating plucked string effect in QV 5:196.
I was going to write the same. This video came as a suggestion in my RUclips channel and I couldn't be happier. I have been a classical music professional for 20 years and never heard of Quantz. I'm fascinated by his compositions.. It's incredibly beautiful and aristocratic. I've already listened twice in a road.
Same here. Lifted my spirits, and made me feel in a good mood. Not many views yet, but the ratio like/dislike is impressive.
Quantz is a must for flute(and not only) lovers :)
Mercadante and Stamitz also recommended
I got to know Quantz today. Reminds me of Vivaldi. Thank you !
@@joaoresende9316 I also recommend Jan Dismas Zelenka, especially his chamber music for winds.
He must have been very happily married lol
Hearing him for the first time and thrilled! Beautiful & genuine music
After listening this concerto video, i can say that Quantz is definitely a super giant composer, plus, to me, he has been one of my best preferred composers in the classic world. I am really amazed of his talent. Thanks for uploading.
Puur en supergoed!!! The Netherlands.
I have listened to baroque music for many years, but now heard Quantz for the first time. So beautiful music.
Ouf! Je ne suis donc pas le seul...
Frederick the Great's court composer and a true genius: Johann Joachim Quantz!
SPLENDIDE ! Et si revigorant ! On se retrouve son âme et sa raison de vivre ! Merci ! 👏💐💖😊🙋🇨🇵
I am always looking for new good recordings. RUclips is doing a wonderful job. Thank you much.
Some of Quantz's works would be the envy of Vivaldi; inventive, fresh, rich in colors and textures. All-around genius in these performances!
Effectivement....Comment ne pas savourer cette oeuvre de Quantz ,pleine de couleurs ,de soleil ,de Joie !! au même titre que Vivaldi ,Corelli nos GRANDS auteurs bien connus!??
In Quantz you have the concise thematic rhythms and fiery enchanted sequencing of Vivaldi married to German substance with a more eclectic tonal balance and harmonic variety. A thoroughly satisfying blend. An extraordinary composer, full of thrill and virtuosity and sensitivity!
Le inesauribili scuole Veneta e Partenopea influenzarono pesantemente tutta Europa.
@@maurorocca1745 molto vero!
Thank you for your kind reply, but you must forgive me because I am not able to write in English. Your observation on music are very acute and relevant which shows that you are a great connoisseur!
@@maurorocca1745 Thank you. I am a big lover of the baroque, I also compose in a neo-baroque style much in the spirit of Vivaldi, Bach, Telemann, etc. Some of my works can be found on my RUclips channel. Ciao :)
@@maurorocca1745 Quantz was a student of Zelenka btw (another genius powerhouse)
This music is reminiscent of the music of Italian composers of the first half of the XVIII-th century. I like this beautiful music.
Beautyful music .I love baroque music.I bought my first LP in 1968 17 years old and it was the Four seasons by Vivaldi.I have bought many CD’s with baroque music since then.
Quantz is one of those true polymaths whose full genius will never be able to be fully appreciated by the modern world, his legacy always somewhat tinged with mystery. In his own time, a bird in a golden guilded cage. read his book on the flute its quite incredible.
Joy, elegance, beauty. That's what these concertos are about. I regret not coming across Johann Joachim Quantz's exquisite music earlier, despite being into western classical music for 45 years. My sincere gratitude to you for posting this gem.
Quantz always amazes me with his constant invention, he wrote over 300 flute concertos and I'm yet to find a dull one or works sounding the same, wonderful composer!
Way back in high school in the late 1960's, I would buy Nonesuch "budget" records with great delight at the quality and sound of the vinyl in "Hi-Fi". One of the albums was of Quantz flute concertos, with one of them still ringing in my ears after all these years. Sure wish I could find that one again.
Quantz un Gran maestro dr Flauta, bien hizo Federico en Contratarlo !!!
Gotta love Quantz and the Prussian way of the flute. Truly a masterpiece!
Fantastic Beautiful Music !
First Time Ever Listening To Quantz
And I LOVE ❤️ IT ! That I Never Heard
Of Him Before, Who Grew Up With
Classical Music . I Can’t Understand
How I Could Miss Such a Wounderful Composer! He’s Just AMAZING ! !
Wspaniałe koncerty! Kompozycje pełne wdzięku, łączące elegancję i fantazję. Zmienność kolorystyki i nastrojów muzycznej opowieści cieszy duszę i pobudza wyobraźnię. Bardzo dziękuję za udostępnienie nagrania. Serdeczne pozdrowienia z Polski - Daniela
très jolis concertos d'un auteur peu connu en France ; bravo !
Jean Lismonde -- Ni au Mèxique aussi....BRAVI from Acapulco!
@@steveegallo3384 le bonjour aux Mexicains qui sont aussi des mélomanes avertis !
Moi aussi je découvre Quantz dont je n'avais jamais entendu parler ! Pourtant j'aime fouiller les discographies à la recherche de perles rares qui ont été égarées au fil des siècles de façon très injustes le plus souvent...
bonjours mireille moi aussi je decouvre ce compositeur une autre perle pour nos oreilles
Quantz has written well over 300 concertos , duos , and solo for flute when he was at Frederick II court.
ПОКОРНЕЙШЕ ВАМ БЛАГОДАРЮ. ЛУЧШЕЕ ЛЕКАРСТВО ОТ ВСЕХ ШЛЯПОВИРУСОВ И СТРЕССОВ.
Un pirotecnico Quantz per fantasmagorici concerti! Musica a dir poco superlativa! In questi concerti aleggia lo spirito del divino Vivaldi!
Quantz is a fantastic composer, such beautiful music that is unknown is a tragedy
Johann Joachim Quantz, einer der zu Unrecht noch viel zu wenig beachteten Meister des deutschen Spätbarocks. Hoffentlich hilft diese Einspielung einiger seiner 299 Konzerte ,ihn und seine Kunst wieder einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit nahezubringen. Vielen Dank für dieses Video.
Pyramos -- Ich bin damit einverstanden...True, a rare, exquisite vintage echo of The Golden Schwäbisch Age! (Tut mir Leid...Ich meinte 'Schuldaufdeckungsangst…..Ebenmäißgkeitsentzückung- Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz!)
Herzlich, Mexikaner Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän !
Спасибо,что подарили такое наслаждение чудесной музыкой Кванца! Слушая такую музыку, ты забываешь все невзгоды и горести жизни. Спасибо Ютубу за прекрасный выбор для меня!
This wonderful and comfortable feeling is unrivaled, and outclassing
Flute sound is a sign of the soul
Wunderschön beruhigende Musik
Ganz gewiss so !
Reminds me of Vivaldi ! Wonderful.
Thank you.
Germán's Valdi
Perfect music for me to listen to while I work and feel peace at mind.
This feeling of comfort is far superior splendor, and beyond compare

Tokyo of Japan
OMG! Doing my usual household chores & streaming in the background & I thought this was musical pieces from A. Vivaldi, not Quantz!?! Couldn't believe it when just looking at my screen right now.
Inspiring, satisfyingly complicated, a pure joy to hear.. when we burn out on Vivaldi and need a break..Quantz is there!!
vivaldi is long burned out for me...raather listen to willem de fesch
@Paul Whitcomb Never tire of Vivaldi, even if he didn't write 1456 concertos but rather 1 concertoo 1456 times 😁
try to listen to violin sonates of Bieber
@Paul Whitcomb Bieber does
Extraordinary composer, recording and performance. Such a treat. Thanks for uploading.
Just a fairytale.
Most exciting composer of high baroque and virtuoso flutist. This recording does him full justice, wonderful styling, dynamics, tempos, technique - and sound recording. Very enjoyable indeed!
And clean intonation on period instruments!
JOHANN JOACHIM QUANTZ Un grande del barroco, exquisito y firme,es un deleite escucharlo
The Amorevole movement of QV 5:206 was exquisite. Thanks for the post 😀
いつ聞いても癒されます。此れからも宜しくお願いします😄
今朝も聞いています、落ち着いた気持ちになり1日のスタートにピツタリですね😃ひろちやん。
@Recordare Domine A415, I love your video's because you post all Minor pieces, which are my favorite ! Your video of Johann Hertel is a masterpiece. Thank you so much !
I have listened to HUNDREDS of hours of Baroque music and the Andantino (52:47) ranks as one of the most beautiful and intricate pieces I have ever heard from that Period. Period.
Superbe musique ! Suprême élégance ! Mon morceau préféré : l'allegro 13.QV extrêmement jouissif...
One word Lovely!
Maravilloso....!!!!
Apart from the majestic music of Mr. Quantz, I was amused by his middle name Joachim. My Spanish name Joaquin is similar. :-D
Yes, but what does the name really mean ?😅
Like Johann, must be of Hebrew or Aramaic origin, true ?😊
What a blessing to hear something new for the first time!
"Der Flötenmeister des Königs" . Maravilloso Johann Joachim Quantz ; tan sólo escuchar su música , lo imagino tocando la flauta en Potsdam para Friedrich der Große . Exquisita música barroca !!
I am just imagining him playing it for me, Charles, Not the Great, not in Potsdam, but in Brooklyn, N. J.
I meant, N.Y.
This music is absolutely astounding. Rich melodic speech, harmonies breathtaking orchestration constantly renewed in the use of the stamps of the instruments, in short a Babylonian sound architecture erected by humbles and impetuous interpretes-composers🌺🕊 Thks 🤠
Absolutely beautiful.
I have really enjoyed this. Thanks so much for posting it.
No conocía a este compositor. No dejo de sorprenderme por la bella música que desconozco.
😸❤️😊
Нет слов .... .Одни улыбки благодарности за открытие этой волшебной музыки .

Wunderschön! 💐
Excelentes composiciones...para gente de buenas intenciones,de vivir,en este resentido planeta actual,a causa de...
¡Excelente publicación, gracias!
Wonderful collection of concertos from the last great baroque composer! Complex, deep and full of feeling! Thanks for uploading!
Never heard of Quantz, but very nice, beautiful flute Solo.
Never heard of him either - until a great aunt of mine showed us that our family is distantly related to him.
Thanks for sharing this great musical treasure!
Очень красивые концерты.Спасибо!❤️
Most enjoyable; a Treasure found. 😎
These pieces are incredible...!!! Each one is awe inspiring!
Nunca habia oido a Quantz. Es hermoso.
Beautiful and calm. Thank you
I would really like a modern composer that was simultaneously as good as Quantz and Schoenberg!

Gracias por compartir los conciertos
I already had all these flags.
I none needed these again.
Why am I torchered morphed?
Beautiful music and a wonderful performance! The notes on Quantz and his career was very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
This is absolutely beautiful!
newer heard quantz before, thank you from his music
Very energetic, gorgeous music
Absolutely beautiful.👍
Wonderful concerts, it is clear the Vivaldian sounds treatment
Una sinfonia llena de gloria, que enaltece el lenguaje musical, alimentando el alma.
Muchas gracias por esta bella música que jamas pasa de moda saludos
Some listeners still naively, honestly believe that practically nothing "worth a listen" was composed between the death of Bach and the majority of Mozart. The exquisite stylistic maturity of Quantz puts the lie to that failure of "Musical Intelligence" (as defined by Howard Gardner, perhaps). This recording ought to give any listener who prides themselves in a thing called, "musical intelligence" much to ponder. "There, I said it."
The evolution and maturity of early music performer/scholars and instrument makers is largely responsible for the growing wealth of listenable material in the past 30 years. The fact is, the number of students in later generations that were able to grow up surrounded by good performances and recordings grew, and these students had the good fortune to meet others who had grown up absorbing the style, who had bon goût. This cross fertilisation of ideas from people who grew up with early music is what made the music from the period of 'nothing worth a listen', listenable.
This, in fact, is an exoneration of Gardner, with a caveat. The musical intelligence that led to greater enlightened performances of music of this particular period is dependent on its practitioners having absorbed its musical idiosyncracies from a young age, i.e., you have to be familiar with it before you even hear deeper into it.
@@Dom2Wan Melannte thanks you for "reinventing his wheel."
@@Dom2Wan Pass: Your prolixity is for others, yourself included, one guesses.
For cursorily listening people every music is cursory.
Surpreendente, lindo este Concerto para flauta. Apesar de não ser meu instrumento preferido, achei-o apaixonante.
Agradecido.
Igualmente absolutamente bello ,muchas gracias
I love this vibes this moment 😌🎵～ Really enjoying 🍸
Gracias!
De nada!
muy buen cuarteto
Bellissima musik
Well, if you imagine Frederick the Great hiring a composer you'd think he'd get a pretty damn good one. 😁
Das ist Musik, von klassischem Wert. Sie strahlt eine ätherische Ruhe aus, die sich im ganzen Körper des Zuhörendem verbreitet. Vor allem in seinem Larghetto, Andantino und dem Adagio assai. Solche Musik befreit vom Alltag.
ja, sehr schön formuliert ... und genau das kann ich jetzt sehr gut gebrauchen - DANKESCHÖN!
As a (secrete) teacher of the King, Frederic II, Quantz could be underrated, as too often about aristocracy's teachers. Of course, Quantz id s not the top genius of his time, but the melodic, harmonic and above all architectural qualities of his music are by no ways to be neglected and deserve a careful hearing, both in melodic details and in overarching structure. In addition, even at that time, soloists were commonly interverted. But here, changiing the flute to an oboe or a violin would just be a musical crime !!!!!
Who then is the top genius of his time, according to you ?😮
@@juerbert1 IT was a transition time, between the end of JSB and the rise of the genius of Haydn. IN this decade, there were no top level genius. Probably at that time one of the best composers was Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach, and in France Rameau.
除了文字之美，尤爱音乐之美。
Quantz dominou o estilo barroco, tem muito de Vivaldi, mas já nos traz todo o "galant" (rococó) que caracteriza o amaneiramento do barroco anunciando já o pré-clássico.
Simplesmente PERFEITO
Von den Bendas und F.X. Richter gibt es auch noch wunderschöne Flötenkonzerte.
Glücklich 325th Geburtstag, Maestro
Thenks 🥰🥰🥰
Gigantes y mágicos de la música barroca
Desconhecido pra mim até hoje. Mas belíssima, encantadora música. Procurarei conhecer outras obras deste compositor.
