Oh! so wonderful and vivid Baroque music it is. This is the very first time to hear Bach suite which was played with Baroque Bow. I would feel there might be some different articulation between Tourte bow and Baroque bow. there are so clear different musical touch. By the way, I was moved so much. soon be 92 years Japanese. sorry strange English.

The slow movement from 6:22 was the inspiration for Procol Harum"s hit "A whiter shade of pale".

The orginal is for strings only. The winds were added later.

[@WinrichNaujoks]

That is conjecture. There is no version for strings only.

[@rickmarti77]

@@WinrichNaujoks There is also no original of the missing 100 cantatas of the 300 he composed. It doesn't mean they didn't exist.

[@WinrichNaujoks]

@@rickmarti77 Well yes but we have evidence those existed. No evidence exists that there's an "original" version of this suite. It's pure conjecture.

[@user-xh4nq4vt5y]

Wonderfully played, with enormous verve and accuracy. The suite, however is written with the inclusion of trumpets, timpani and oboes except the Air. The notes Bach wrote for these instruments are independent of the string parts and add the colour I'm sure Bach intended, so why leave them out?

[@ww0yrr]

All the right notes but the verve and splendor is absent. Leaving out the three trumpets and kettle drums is like preparing a banquet ~early without any spices or sugar.
This ensemble could have properly played the 1st suite and would have won rave reviews.
Reminds me of the Alice Springs Accordion Band playing Ravel's Bolero.

[@herrickinman9303]

This is the original version.

[@herrickinman9303]

@@ww0yrr Your learned opinion is duly noted. However, this is the original version. I suspect that had you never heard the version with trumpets and timpani, you would not now be pontificating that they are essential.

[@user-xh4nq4vt5y]

@@herrickinman9303 I have a Lea pocket score of the four suites that come without explanatory notes. My score contains the full orchestration of all four suites, and have always known the third suite as being scored for trumpets, drums, oboes, strings and continuo. I have never seen any reference to an original version in all my seventy years as a musician. Just because the original version is for strings only doesn't make it the best. Authenticity in reproducing an original idea that then becomes something fuller is not always a good idea. It is like the popular performing edition of Handel's 'Messiah' compared to the rather bland versions based on the first London and Dublin performances.

[@herrickinman9303]

@@user-xh4nq4vt5y Well, people of your generation want everything orchestrated, with 10 or 20 players to a part and trumpets, timpani and crashing cymbals.
I much prefer this suite without trumpets and timpani. I've always found the trumpet and timpani annoying and unnecessary.
The Netherlands Bach Society, under Lars Mortensen, also performs this suite without oboes, trumpets or timpani.
In the last 50+ years, we've learned a lot about Bach's music and Baroque performance practice, thanks to musicological research. I'm surprised that in your 70 years as a musician, you're unaware that this suite was not conceived with trumpets and timpani in mind. The string parts, in J.S. Bach's, hand date from not later than 1731, while the oboe, trumpet and timpani parts, in C.P.E. Bach's hand, date from 1734 and 1738. (The technique for adding trumpet and timpani parts to a finished work was taught in the Bach household.)
I suggest you listen to the Netherlands Bach Society's performance of BWV 1068 and also to "Mortensen on Orchestral Suite no. 3 in D major BWV 1068 | Netherlands Bach Society" -- both on You Tube.
