About the performance: the canon is played using not only the instruments but also the bowing techniques from the time of Pachelbel. A new edition for the music was made from the earliest manuscript source. As you can see from the video, especially if you look at the high definition version, the string instruments are not only baroque, but they are in baroque setup: this means that the strings, fingerboard, bridge and other parts of the violin appear just as they did in Pachelbel's time. No metal hardware such as chinrests, clamps or fine tuners are used on the violins, allowing the violins to vibrate freely.
A good example of baroque bowing can be seen in the extended passage of repeated notes: the musicians play these notes on one bow-the shorter & lighter baroque bow-to created a gliding effect. The players also hold the bow very differently which affects the balance and touch. Both the style and the amount of vibrato are based on baroque treatises which describe the methods for playing, bowing & articulation in the late 17th century. The narrow, shimmering vibrato blends with the baroque organ.
The organ used is made entirely of wood, based on German baroque instruments, and the pipes are voiced to provide a smooth accompaniment to the strings, instead of a more soloistic sound. Another feature of the video is the subtle differences in not only the sound and color of the instruments, but also the different techniques of the players. All three are playing baroque violins with baroque bows, yet each person has her own distinct sound and bowing style-each bow has a different shape and balance. If you look at paintings of 17th century players you will see that they are all different, because that individuality of sound and technique was highly valued. This allows the players and the listeners to hear and appreciate the "Voices of Music."
Pitch is A=415.3 Hz. We chose a baroque pitch and temperament from the time of Pachelbel.
The present video is from our "Musica Transalpina" concerts, February, 2023.
Sixteen years ago, we filmed this work on what was then "cutting edge" 1080p, before it was even supported on RUclips. That video is at 18 million views! The camera we used back then recorded onto tiny tape cassettes, which then had to be specially processed with custom software to extract 24p/1080 video.
We always thought it would be fun to return to this work, and here we are with a different interpretation & tempo :)
You will notice Cynthia in the first video, and she triumphantly returns!
We hope you enjoy both versions, and the Gigue is on the way --H&D

#PachelbelCanon
Finally a good version of this piece, I thought it wasn't possible. Now it truly sounds like the piece that it should be
The performance they did 15 years ago is amazing too.
Almost 16 years after the first video of Canon, still with Hanneke and David. That's dedication!
정말 감동의 연주입니다ㅜㅜ
and Cynthia Freivogel too!
It's so wonderful to see Cynthia Freivogel back again, she is always such a marvel to listen to!
She is!
Yes, I will never forget the video of her playing the largo from Bach double violin Concerto. The best rendition!
No one comes close to this organization of masters. This is what it sounded like to Pachelbel and this group went the extra miles to give us the opportunity to experience what he did. Hats off to the production staff, too, as always!
Tx!
One of the most difficult things to do in music, I think, is to take such a well-known piece and make it special, to bring it alive and make it joyful to its listeners. You have achieved that so well here. Thank you for sharing this inspiring performance!
Thanks for listening
This performance is hypnotic, it is so beautifully played.
The best version of Pachelbel canon I have ever heard in my life.
Ensamble excellent, sound full of emotions. Cynthia Freivogel is unique.
Hi, All musicians in Voice of music. You're so excellent. Best wishes to you. ❤️
Thank you so much!
INSANELY GOOD I'M SO GLAD THEY EXIST 😊❤
Best on RUclips 😊
Truly amazing. My teacher challenged my class to figure out this song, and I did. Within the first note.
YOU ARE THE BESTEST 🥰 it's so over played but my god, you put life into the most over played pieces making them look like a new release ! Pachelble is proud 😊
:)
The brilliant Cynthia Freivogel again! And as always, sound engineering is on top! Voices of Music never disappoint
Voices of Music always produces such lovely content. Even my lesst favorite song is beautifully performed and gets a full listen. Thank you for all that you do here on RUclips.
You are very welcome :)
Cynthia Freivogel Divine, charming, unique talent, you have captured my heart and soul.
Must be the most moving 4 1/2 min. of music ever written...tired of hearing so many "updated" versions! Inevitable I suppose with such a popular piece. This is the original and best and beautifully performed.
I'm really glad this is in video. You can see how the violinists coordinate/communicate...how the 2nd violinist looks to the 1st, and then to the 3rd. Now only wish the violinists in my ensemble doesn't try to outpace each other.
Once again Voices of Music produces the best ever version of a piece. Loved every second of it.
always amazing
Thank you!
What can you say, pure talent on display here 👏
Beauty, performance excellence, all professionally sound, as is the great devotion of these committed performers, So much to admire, to love,so, thanks and Bravo.
Thank you very much!
Well appreciated: Specially knowing the technical baroque details applied for the originality of this master piece. Thanks very much. 🌺🌹
Our pleasure.
Oh my, truly magnificent. My absolute favourite piece of classical music and you did it justice in such a beautiful performance.
Thank you so much for posting this and a hearty thanks to each member of this performance. So enjoyable.
Thank you very much!
What a stunning performance. The best I've heard to date. Thank you.
Thanks for listening!
@@VoicesofMusic Literally my pleasure.
This professional and accomplished set of musicians once again bring the joy of music to life! Thank you for your stunning performance.
Our pleasure!
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. Exquisite performance.
Thank you
Most versions I've heard are played at a quicker tempo which always makes it sound too frenetic to me. This is the right tempo in my opinion and beautifully played, too.🙂
Thank you.
Im so happy y’all made a recent version of Canon in D!
Enjoy!
beautiful performance
Awesome!
Thanks!
Always a pleasure❤❤❤❤❤

Yay, thank you!
Wonderful!😁👍👏👏👏👏
Thank you, Peter
You're so welcome!😁
Спасибо за удовольствие!
Brilliant. Thank you.
God bless these lovely ladies. (And the gentleman with the lute) Johann Pachabel would be so proud of them.
The best cello part ever
One of the more elegant and moving version i never heard. Thank you all, Voices.
Pretty...still i feel the older video, shades better than this brilliant one.. much appreciation for your efforts. The vibrancy of the older one is really remarkable...this one is a mellowed one.
amazed once again.
Sublime and nothing short of awesome. Typical of your performances and productions.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Great performance
I've been listening to Canon from time to time since 10 years ago, and I was always disappointed that it didn't have ultra-high-quality sound, but I'm really glad that you uploaded a new performance video like this. Every time I listen to music, I feel so peaceful and happy. Thank you so so much for giving me so much joy and happiness. -Korean subscribers-

やはり原曲のスタイルは温かみがあってすごく好き
ありがとうございます。感謝します。
Hi Cynthia Miller Freivogel! We were waiting a long time for a new piece of your art. Please do it more often. And please don't forget to give us the Partitas and Sonatas of JS Bach.
❤ from Italy 🙏
Beautiful! Now I want the gigue that follows it 😄
Also, how about Henry Purcell's "Three Parts on a Ground"?
Gigue and ground on the way.
❤🎻😊🎶
Amen.
My favorite ❤
Um bálsamo! ❤️
Спасибо!
👍 👍
:)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Flawless sound delivery of this masterpiece...thumbs up!
May i know the name of the instrument that looks like a guitar?
Thank you, the instrument is an archlute
This song is better baroque style
No viola is crazy
Well, there is no viola in the original, so I guess having a viola part would be OK but not necessary....the main feature of the music is that it is a three part round or canon for three equal voices.
When was it recorded
February, 2023
forse il brano piu' bello nella storia della musica? non so, ma forse, per me, sì
❤❤❤❤❤❤
