@@Renshen1957 Not sure about this. From what I can read, the original sources of this work are lost. Often the scores just say „b. c.“, which is not necessarily associated to harpsichord (even though people might have thought that in earlier decades).
@@Lighter41 Laurence Dreyfus and Christoph Wolff assign the date to the 1730's for the Zimmermann Cafe concerts by the Collegium Musicum, that's not to say other musicians didn't perform there. I do not have access to either of the experts papers for their reasoning (handwriting analysis, water marks, etc.?) Documents relating to Cafe Zimmermann besides his establisment had one harpsichord, later a second, larger harpsichord (so just one or two being present?) Other documents reference a bass, and a Cello provided by the establishment so musicians would who played would not have to lug around such a bulky instruments. The concerts ended with Zimmermann's death in 1741. If based on copyist's handwriting, watermarks, one could as easily argue this was copied from an earlier manuscript. And then there's the fact that J S Bach recycled earlier works during his Leipzig tenure from earlier positions. The surviving manuscript (manuscript, but not in J S Bach's hand) available in the Petrucci Library IMSLP originally thought to date from the 1720's list Cembalo (Italian for Harpsichord) for the Basso Continuou part and no reference to Cello, Gamba, etc. The Sonata for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord, BWV 1027 is the same work and played on the Harpsichord with the second solo part in the right hand and the bass line in the left. In 1720's J S Bach at the Court of Orchestra of Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Köthen, had Two Violinists, an Oboist (possibly doubled on the Transverse Flute), two Flute Players (most likely Recorder Players doubled on the Oboe), a Bassonist, a Cellist, a Gambist (whose son, also a Gambist hooked up with J C Bach for Concerts in London as the English resident "John Bach") and (some sources list a second Gamba player, the Prince Leopold, who also played the violin and harpsichord), possibly other servants, and J S Bach who played harpsichord, but lead the orchestra on the Viola (CPE Bach source), or the Violin, which begs the question who played the Viola part in the 5th Brandenburg Concerto in it's ealiest incarnation?
Listening to this jewel makes me wonder why no one commissioned a double flute concerto to Mr. Bach. This recording is AMAZING! Thanks to all involved!
well Brandenburg 4 is technically one but I know what you mean. a concerto for two transverse flutes and strings by the great master would be wonderful for sure.
I love this recording/interpretation. Ignoring some of the absurd or downright insulting, condescending, ignorant comments on this platform. Thank you NBS!
Jesus Christ, the Prince of peace, is able to give you peace which surpasses understanding as a free gift if you'll come to him. Matthew 11:28-30 KJV [28] Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Beautiful rendition: especially remarkable the third movement, with the background texture of viola da gamba and lute while the two flutes fill the space with their sensual waves. I am always surprised by how Bach's music can reveal itself in any novel, intelligent interpretation.
I didn't know there was a version for two flutes. I thought they were doing the baroque thing whereby they would play with whatever instruments were available unless specified as obligato. Wonderful version, too. The high pitch of the flutes really highlights some of the melodic nuances.
Esta sonata fue la primerísima obra de cámara que escuche de Bach en toda mi vida hace algunas décadas, en una hermosa interpretación a cargo de Harnoncourt/Tachezi/Bruggen/Statsny, este video me la ha recordado. Una obra maravillosa.
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser kompakten doch perfekt komponierten Triosonate in verschiedenen Tempi mit milden Tönen zweier Barockflöten, tiefem Ton der Gambe und schimmerndem Klang des Theorbos. Der dritte Satz klingt besonders schön und echt tröstend. Im Kontrast klingt der letzte Satz echt lebhaft und auch begeisternd. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den vier Virtuosen ist wahrlich ergreifend. Faszinierend vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
Enjoyed the performance very much. Surprised me when I heard the opening bars. I've been listening to Bach's organ trio sonatas but played with different instrumentation and I first thought it was one of those. I am familiar with Gould and Rose's version of this. Usually, opening movements are "dramatic" to grab your attention but the opening adagio is so briliantly written, it is able to do the same.
I think I speak for many when I say I would love to see NBS recordings on Spotify! There are some older ones already, but it would be great to have the more recent stuff on there. Especially the major compositions like the B minor Mass and the Passions. The version of the St. John Passion on this RUclips channel specifically is the best I've heard.
Great music, amazing performance. A perfect recording is to be commended. Has anyone seen the microphones? Yes, invisible microphones, but excellent stereo sound.
As a longtime flutist myself, I’ve never felt that bobbing and weaving did anything to enhance my tone or assist me through faster passages or make me look more impressive as a musician. And it didn’t seem to help anyone here, either.
No offense intended, but I miss the signature music which used to begin NBS videos. It helped me set the volume levels. The new "hip" intro sound - a beer can being cracked open? - might as well be a muffled sneeze for all it has to do with setting the mood for your wonderful performances. 🤔
Many NBS followers complained about the "fanfare" signature, especially before delicate pieces like this ... I don't know why you think this little 'hiss' should be hip, but it has the advantage of lacking pitch, I think. In that way it doesn't disturb what is coming afterwards.

Always a nice call to have a teorba play the continuo instead of a harpsichord in chamber music settings such as this. Thanks for the upload!
Nothing against the theorbo and lutenists have to eat but the manuscript score states cembalo aka harpsichord.

Beautifully organic ensemble playing of this challenging piece. I had to comment and express my thanks and admiration.
The music of Bach is always extremely beautiful and your performance is fantastic, this is absolutely awesome. Many thanks for sharing 💖
Excellent, perfect, and beatufiul music!
Thank you all NBS staffs who involved for this recording.
NBS has the greatest musicians! ❤️

I thought I knew 1039, but this version really brings out the sunshine...
A lovely combination of instruments.
Delicate and marvellous. Such à blessing !
❤ Thank you for this recording! Diese Sonate macht einfach soviel Freude zu spielen (und zu hören) - und das sieht man euch an. So musikalisch!!!😊
Thank you NBS for this wonderful Bach music in the summer evning.
Such a peaceful atmosphere🍃very beautifully

Hermosa musica , estos instrumentos son maravillosos y amo a Bach .Gracias por compartir su hermosa interpretacion ❤.
Eternal Bach, Excelsos Bach
Wow!! I am so glad I found this. Astonishingly beautiful.
I’ve always known and played this as the gamba sonata #1. It’s nice in this form, too.

This performance‘s splendor of words can not arrive
These wonderful performances are felt the scent of Bach‘s aesthetics and genius
brilliant interpretation. congratulations. 🙏❤️

Wonderful! I have been looking forward to today, to see what you would perform. Always a pleasure.
Wat een toeval. Was net een reeks triosonates aan het beluisteren. Goeie timing NBS!
Wonderful. Thank you very much!

¡Ha sido un placer!
BACH ....in the sky!
Bach tenía en su casa un alambique mágico con el que hacía un destilado divino.
Truly beautiful - what more can I say?
Thank you; charming performance of something I’ve known and loved for ages. I’m falling in love with the gamba player too!!
Fabulous! Bravo to you all!
thank you so much / bedankt for sharing this gem! much easier to separate and follow the parts - totally needed in our devoluting zeitgeist
Best recording ever.
hermoso como siempre
I love the fact that both flutes are the same model...(Pierre Naust? Maybe also by Aurin?) Wonderful interpretation!
Yes, we both played Naust flutes by Fridtjof Aurin!
wonderful version!
Many thanks to the anonymous donor and to all who created this work of art!
Bravo, bravo! Erg mooi!!
Bravo!
all those small details, like in the third movement (my favorite, I think)
Schön, Danke! 1000 x schöner als mit Böhmflöten....
Charming!
Sehr schön
So sorry about the rushed and peremptory adagio - otherwiise good.
Wow!!!!
Waiting for the E Minor Flute sonata next!
When do we get to see Mike Fentross play some Bach lute suites?
What is the reason not to include the harpsichord in the basso continuo?
The theorbo and viola da gamba combine very well with the sound of the baroque flute
Is the lute player realizing figured bass in improvisation or is he playing a written part?
He has no written part but plays from the bass with the added figures. See also this video: ruclips.net/video/aCSFa36uhiY/видео.html
@@bach Thanks! Appreciate it.
415 Hz?
400Hz
😍
Bach, that creep can roll, man...
Too right, check out my version of BWV 26m. ruclips.net/video/tYq87JLdvMA/видео.html

Argh! Who hurt you? SMH
Forgive me if I've asked this before, but why do Netherlands men and women often wear their wedding rings on their right hands?
It's a pity the intonation of the flutes is not better ...NBS, you can do better, I know !
No offense intended, but I miss the signature music which used to begin NBS videos. It helped me set the volume levels.
