    Händels Water Music
    Bijna drie eeuwen geleden gaf Händel een concert dat we ons nu nóg herinneren. Op een groot vlot voer hij, met orkest, over de Theems. De kabbelende rivier begeleidde de première van zijn Water Music. Een stuk dat niet bedoeld was voor de vissen en trekschuiten, maar voor koning George I. De drie suites van Water Music vormden de achtergrond voor een diner op zijn koninklijke jacht. Het smaakte deze ‘royals’ uitstekend: Händel en zijn musici moesten het werk twee keer herhalen.
    Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin
    Dit seizoen waagt Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin (Akamus) zich met HändelsWater Music aan een van de bekendste klassieke werken. Akamus won onlangs de Bach-medaille van de stad Leipzig, voor hun verdiensten in het historisch verantwoord uitvoeren van oude muziek. Wat dat betreft is Water Music extra interessant omdat er meerdere versies van het werk bestaan. Op het water klinkt muziek immers heel anders dan op het land.

    My love for classical music really took hold when I was in my early and mid 20s in the military, and I just couldn't get enough of it. And Handel's "Water Music" was a huge part of fostering that love which continues to this very day. I'm now 85 and my life has been enriched by classical music, symphony concerts, opera and operetta, musical comedy, etc. I could go on and on. I have sung in many opera and operetta choruses , was a choral singer for 31 years, and a church choir singer from my teens until just a few years ago. As I'm listening to and watching this terrific rendition, I am going through the memories of all the music I've listened to, watched, and been a part of myself... What a blessing!

      Same for me! I thought I hated "Classical Music" until I was 25 yrs. old. Somehow, I caught a performance of Handel's Water Music on the radio, and thought it sounded pretty good. Within days, I listened to Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #3, and I was hooked for life. Now, 42 years later, Mozart and Baroque music still provide soothing relaxation nothing else can.

    感動しました!
    最近何もやる気が出ず、先が見えない暗いトンネルの中を彷徨い続けている感じがしていたけれど、先程何気なく見ていたRUclipsから偶然子供の頃から大好きだった懐かしいこの曲が!
    聴いた途端、目の前にパッと太陽の明かりが見えて、その瞬間暗闇から抜け出たのを感じました。
    今まで聞いていたのとは最初のテンポからしてかなり違うアレンジですがとにかく楽しい😊
    幼少の頃に初めてこの曲を耳にした時、不思議な事に例えようのない懐かしい気持ちで涙が流れた事。その時に頭に浮かんだ’見た事もない周りの建物や風景と人々の様子’。成長するにつれ、それが前世の記憶なのだろうと、誰に話すこと無く今でも自分の中だけで信じています。
    久しぶりにこの曲を聴いて、その時代に生きていたかも知れない自分の中の魂が目を覚ましたかのように、再び様々な風景が浮かんできました。
    生きにくいこの時代だけれども、今日からまた新たな一歩を踏み出せます!ありがとう!

    • @PabluchoViision
      @PabluchoViision Год назад +2

      Based on the Allegro da capo Aria as well, I do think tempo is a problem in some of the movements. They are playing like their parking meter is about to expire. Anytime a matter of form is obtrusive--that's to say, really calls attention to itself, makes us think about it--such as speed, or rubato, or softness, or loudness--that's a sign that it's probably excessive. De gustibus non disputando est, I know... so this is just my two cents worth.

      Aside: The two trumpets are more modern "Baroque Trumpets" with vents at node points to change their fundamentals and make certain difficult intonations in tune without excessive "lipping". You can see that in the work of fingers and thumbs as they play.
      The horns are naturals, where the players have only their lips and bell-hands to adjust pitches.
      Still, the brass players are remarkable for their elegance and execution!

    A Baroque Orchestra playing Period (Baroque) Instruments is as close to being there as we get - and it's wonderful. Playing these instruments is adding layers of technique to that of playing modern (especially oboe and horn). Add the hefty price of these instruments and the undermined value and support society in general gives these musicians - it's a tough life. You literally pay twice as much for half the technology, but they're not doing this "for the money". This is for the love of representing the music in it's truest form. I salute all of these folks for what they do.

      @@twigle3015 Let's hope we - or, rather perhaps, our governments the world over - have learned our lessons from this year. I think a lot of people realise only when they can't have access to live performances of any kind (my particular love is the theatre) how important they are - and how much we need them.

      Well, I own both a baroque violin and a modern violin and their price is not that different. Also, my modern bow costs really much more than my baroque bow... (it depends everything on the budget you have). Not everybody, in fact, plays original instruments from the 1700 (or even before), but on copies (made maybe by contemporary luthiers, for example), even if we are talking about "period instruments".

    A revelation - as if this classic music, so often repeated in performance & recordings - had never been heard before. Not just the smaller ensemble, but the special sound of the baroque instruments, is compelling: at once joyful &, in some sense, haunting in a positive way, connecting us to the universe (?), as we float down the Thames...

  • @swordoff7
    @swordoff7 5 лет назад +38

    It's unique when an orchestra achieves a level when one is able to hear every instrument as a distinct voice and it is not drowned by the others. That is joyful to be profoundly affected by this.
    I'm certain that the recording master also had something to do with it.

    • @misskitty285

      Yes. Back in 1973-4-5 in college, I had a record player (!) and this Water Music album was my go-to in order to center myself for studying. Just outstanding, nothing can be dismissed, nothing leads to daydreaming, but to complete focus and cherishing of every note and every change. Sublime.

      31:25 - 34:27 so much delicacy and sensitivity, very amazing ! I agree with you Felipe and feels the same as you with hearing this so lovely music when I was a child. "Water Music" is my preferred music and Händel one of my preferred composer... Starting to learn music and flute at age of 8, first year of flute exam with trying to modestly play Handel's "little walk" piece of music... :-) I love baroque music, especially Händel's music !

    This is one astoundingly great performance! I just could not turn away. I especially loved the added diminutions here and there to give this music a little different flavor which makes this "old" music more alive. Any composers, like Handel, from the distant past if they came back today would be in tears of utter joy that their music is still played, and with such precision and beauty as does the Akademie.

    Extraordinary concert of one of the top works of G.F. Händel who honors his memory with propriety and pleasant instrumentation, every time someone interprets music of this masterful genius of the Baroque, is to relive his magic and his great imagination that conquers us who sensitively we capture him, for his simplicity, for his humanistic quality , and know how to share with everyone, as in the first staging of the real fireworks, for all future generations, a sample of their ability to teach with their notes the origin of the universe and the true meaning of life.
