any bach that doesn't include clavichord or harpsichord has the same effect on me. Those two instruments seem so cloying to me. I bet Roger Fry was listening to this when he wrote "Bach almost persuades me to be a Christian."
Thank you Matthew. The wonderful thing about this piece is how Bach extends the echo beyond the violas and into the 2 Gambas & Cello (The first instance at 1:02 when he passes a 2-beat motif from Cello to 1st Viola to 1st Gamba to 2nd Viola & to 2nd Gamba). I'm glad you are enjoying the videos.
I haven't heard the Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in years. I always thought the first movement was one of the "simpler" Brandenburg works. Yikes! Was I totally wrong about that! Now that I see the notes--this is quite an exquisite fugue. But it bops up and down with such verve, and so melodiously, I didn't even pick up on the fact that it was a fugue! When listening to it, I always get into a state almost like jazz, where I just go with the flow and don't even register how complex the whole structure is. Marvelous. Simply marvelous. This is why I love Bach--you discover totally new things you didn't even know were there in old territory already tread!
Beautiful indeed! Especially at 4:53 where the 1st/2nd Violas & 1st Gamba kinda get stuck in a "mini canon loop" and the Cello has to break it up with the 2-beat motif used throughout the 1st movement.
First of all! Thanks for the fantastic production. This is for the history of humanity! I love the 6th. In my humble opinion the best of the Brandenburger concertos. Saw it live performed at Carnegiehall in 2002 played by a Russian chamber orchestra who was standing on stage in a circle. This piece has stayed with me ever since. It has this consistent rhythm in the back ground seeming to be the universe's heart beat. And Bach's masterful harmonic structures on top. Sublime! Thanks so much!
@@austinjim9082 haha yeah ikr it's almost as if they actually said brandenburger in their comment and I was pointing out how that was kinda funny that he made that mistake.
@@segala7853 no. It is op who should have been ironic in saying that this is "ancient Rock'n'Roll" that's like comparing the works of oscar wilde to a Wattpad story.
@@marcossidoruk8033 Musical elitists, such as yourself, scare off people who might be beginning to listen to these masterpieces, when you call rock and roll "plebeian" music you sound like a living stereotype as well.
This is definitely my favorite Brandenburg Concerto. I love the 3rd movement. It seems to me that the two violas playing quite different melodies pose an extra burden on the conductor! The basso obbligato representend by the Violone and the Cembalo seem to play an important part in keeping the whole thing together!!!
Wow, I loved this interpretation, especially the Adagio. It have some rubatos there between every single beat that makes you really feel the cadence between one note and the next. I don't know how to explain it :D
The progressive rock band The Nice combined this and Bob Dylan's "Country Pie" (of all things!) in live performance. So, I put a live version by Dylan, this and The Nice's mashup in my "Classical and Prog" playlist. Thanks for the upload!
Did anyone else notice that from 8:13 everytime the first viola da braccio plays an E-flat, there is another sound, maybe from a flute or a different Instrument, that can be heard and that plays the same Note? I can not Imagine myself how that happened, because I think not that this was intentionally. Sorry for my poor English.
17:03 What's w/ the Low Bb in the Bass Part? Sounds like this was probably meant to be played on a 7 String Violone which is the same as a 7 String Bass Viol but it sounds an Octave lower.
Funny looking back at the comment I posted here a year ago... Though I could bet money that the two performers are usually violinist, this recording isn't really bad at all. I guess I became spoiled with smalin's (less baroque) recording!
Aiden Peleg True. I'm looking at the start of the 3rd movement 11:41. It has two "violas da braccio", which is the normal viola you're thinking about. It also has 2 "viola da gamba"s, which are played like cellos/bass, but are still called "viola"s. The "violoncello" is just the regular cello. "violone e cembalo" is actually two things: "violone" is probably the double bass, and "cembalo" is the harpsichord. Got all this from wikipedia! Hope this helps.

the score is incomprehensible. nice performance though. really it makes little sense. why the bars of color. greatest Brandenburg written. I was expecting a full scrolling score, not some bizarre coloring book. thanks tho. second movement is profound and beautiful. e flat I believe. I've loved that slow movement since I was a child. full of sensitivity and suffering it is.
After this many years, I can still see old Bach waving his hand and say goodbye with a smile when I hear the third movement.
This fits so good to my Imaginations when hearing the third movement. Thank you
One of his most joyous creations!
It's Damm friking awesome to see how you warship me these days
Can tell German is your first language, Johann.

Yes! And then he builds it so the third time at about 3:00 he doubles the descending part for emphasis effect...
The Adagio ma non tanto is beautiful.
Who needs the G clef when u can come up with a whole concerto with just the C clefs

Personally this is my least favourite of the Brandenburgs, but it is nonetheless incredibly beautiful and exciting!
Thanks for showing the score, so we can see the syncopation as well as feel it. Lovely performance.
Il migliore dei concerti brandeburghesi
14:00 there's his name in the cello part, in reverse!
I really love the fourth movement , the blissful steps of music dancing around...
your work is very much appreciated, g.
you choose the best performances i've ever heard, too.
Bardzo piękny Koncert Brandenburski dziękuję bardzo
Good job, gerubach! Thank you for all the work you put into this.
Happy 300th Brandenburg Anniversary!
Ancient Rock 'n' Roll. I love it! I can really get my head banging to the 1st and 3rd movements! Rock on! I'll be Bach!
Bruh you don't undersand anything music related don't you? This has nothing to do with the plebeian style of "music" known as "rock and roll"

The G Violone is Subbass & D Violone is Contrabass.

Man, who are you? What they and you have 'said' and more. That's BEAUtiful!
How do you create these videos? What program are you guys using to create the scrolling music?
01:45 es un canon a 5 voces?! Me encanta!

12:15 is amazing!

@@leambarrameda6789 holy shit that was the reference! nice work deducing that damn
@@Ritton. your welcome pal
I can never guess where the melody is going
It kinda sounds country.The 1st movement has Turkey in the Straw, the 2nd has ABCDEFG and the 3rd is probably some kind of country dance.

The Viola is actually a Gamba... It is played like a Cello...
Maggie Pearson actually nah bach wrote dat shet for two normal veeolas

Max Buskirk bro im literally playing this piece right i know this stuff xD
cool! I used to play the piano (under direction of my mom) but then I stopped. Now I listen to bach every moment I can. "veeyōlauz"
Was this played by humans? Sounds too perfect
This video is not available…
What key is the slow movement in?
Ah. Modal, perhaps?

So harmonic ._.
The performers sound like prodominant violinist. The violas sound very poor quality and the tuning is off in many places. Good visual though!
