- Basso continuo is the backbone of Baroque music. Which instruments are part of the bass group of a baroque ensemble? And what choices and challenges do the members of the basso continuo group face? In this short documentary, musicians from the Netherlands Bach Society explain what is involved in playing in a basso continuo group and they illustrate this with examples.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on 2 March 2020 in Akoesticum, Ede. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

This is one of my favorite NBS videos, because in my opinion it shows true artistry. The camaraderie between the musicians, the joy they display at their craft, the strive for excellence are a tonic to the soul.
One of the particular wonders of NBS videos is the band's strong continuo playing. Clearly this is no accident: you have put together an international group highly talented professionals under who simply love playing together. Under intelligent, visionary direction. It is a pleasure to see the same faces in most of your videos. You have the magic formula - hold on to it.
Yeeey! Finally, some love for the Basso Continuo!!!
Very informative and interesting video! And what a great and passionate musicians!
My God, when I improvise counterpoint in more than two voices the bass is almost inaudible. I can't even imagine the difficulty one would have in improvising a basso continuo.
Robert Franenberg is my very favourite Jewish-American violone player. Seriously, a very fine performer. It's really good to be given a chance to express our appreciation of the continuo players.
This is the most helpful overview and synopsis of basso continuo I have yet experienced! As a pianist who came to harpsichord late in the game, sorting out what to play for continuo has been a challenge and frequently a struggle. Your video has provided a wonderful approach to making those decisions. Thank you!!
This is why we have realized Continuo parts because the Chords written for the Right Hand on the top staff are based on the Figures below the Staff for the left hand
Gott sei Dank for "realized" figured bass for all of us amateurs!
The art of making a wonderful 'dish' - that is what this fine upload is about: leaning "a bit together". All those soloists players become like one conductor, while rehearsing, working together, listening to each other's views and musical suggestions, giving 'spices' to this 'dish'. And the result: wonderful interpretation and performance. Thank you very much NBS and Bravi to all these musicians!
What a wonderful insight into basso continuo - thank you so much!
These videos make me fall in even more love with the music and the musicians, and hear more in bach’s music. Please keep them coming!
The best piece ever!!!! I feel so many emotion watching this
Thanks. This video answers to my many questions I have had about the continuo. Bass lines are so creative in Bach' music.
Thank you to all the amazing musicians for this absolutely
I LOVE this kind of videos
What a lovely video! I had never taken the time to think they can speak besides playing - guess what ... yes they can and they speak Dutch! Lucia is absolutely charming!!!
As a classical guitarist learning basso continuo, I found this video fascinating
Wonderful video! The way they communicate between them and then toghether carry the music, in this coherent and convincing expression. It’s just full of genius and love.
Videos der NBV - das ist die reine Perfektion: wunderbarer Aufbau, ruhige Kameraführung und ruhiger Schnitt, zudem diese einzigartige „Chiaroscuro-Lichtästhetik“, auf die ich ganz versessen bin und die ich bei meinen eigenen AoB-Konzertvideos auch so sehr liebe. Van harte bedankt! 💐
