All my life I loved J S Bach, but I never imagined that one day I would be listening to a Brandenburg concerto whilst sitting in my apartment...in the state of Brandenburg!
My father was a choir director and church organist. I grew up hearing Bach being played in the house. I feel as though my dad is around when I listen to this music.
Man, when that 3rd movement kicks in, it just kills me, every time. It gives me hope for humanity to know that someone could create something so beautiful. I get weepy just thinking about it. Perfect performance, thank you.
I remember when I was in middle school right before the Internet became a thing, I had the attention span to just sit back and listen to music like this for an hour or two and not feel distracted. It was great.
Bach's genius is indisputable. Parts of this concerto are so inspired and inspiring, so fiery but exquisitely controlled, the voicings and phrases, the complexity and interpolation, and astonishing coherencies, everything about it's architecture and beauty, are truly fantastic in the most extreme sense of the word. In all the billions of people of all time, there was only one Bach.
I love No 54, how he creates so much from so little. My fav is the old B/W BBC footage with Glen Gould speaking about him, the piece, and then the beautiful singing. It's just a piece of magic I am so so lucky to have on my PC. We are all so lucky right now to have this much accessibility which may not be available to any of us at any point in our blind future. Peace and love to all.
I am mexican... When I was 16 and 17 years old I had thinking on suicide several times just because I coudnt accept living in this absurd and unfair society. I have to say that 2 things apparted me from suicide: Stepan wolf from Hessen and Brandemburg Concerts from Bach... Im a mature man now, studied philosophy at university, ive always loved literature and art since I was 7 years old... So I want to say that, since I was adolescent, I had the vague impression that Bach music is the universe language, I cannot say it in other words. When I was adolescent and listened to Brandemburgo concerts I felt that Bach music expressed something like the structure of universe. As if Bach´s music helped me to understand the universe. It is so deep, powerful and meaningful... In contrast, Mozart´s music looks to me superficial, only sounds funny games...
Hey Miguel. Bach's music also helps me understand the universe we live in. I'm not a religious person, but Bach's music touches my soul. Stay strong my friend.
It's interesting to watch the face of the grey-haired cello player as she plays - her facial expressions show that the human brain is engaging the same mental pathways to express music as it does when expressing speech. This music is wordless and it still resonates in the human mind as communication. Beautiful.
Some seem to reach to the world of truth, beauty and goodness. Few ever see it, much less catch a piece to share with us all. Bach seemed to live there, and at times perhaps beyond - into the sacred. How he brought this back from that land is incomprehensible to me. But I cannot deny it. I can only stand dumb and humbled, quietened to peace, and with immeasurable gratitude that he did.
I don't understand how this incredible channel doesn't have millions of subscribers, they deserve it! and the people of this world must know it! they do not know what they are missing. wonderful artists, incredible sound.
Alvaro many of our contemporaries look down at people of our ilk. They think we are out of touch, unfortunately they they do not realize the glory of the music we love.
Baroque is my favorite genre of music, and this is one of my favorite Baroque pieces. I am a historian who specializes in the "long 18th century," not a mathematician or physicist, but the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 always struck me as a musical interpretation of the principle of perpetual motion. This is one of the best I have ever heard.
I’ve heard it said that this is the greatest piece of music ever written. I’m a man of many musical tastes, ranging from Classical to Romance to Joplin, Jazz, Blues, Big Band and all the way to rock. But I will never argue that assessment. I, as well as many, can listen to this work of greatness endlessly.
This piece is up there close to the top, but I have always believed Canon by Pachelbel or maybe The Four Seasons by Vivaldi is the greatest ever written. If you haven't heard the other 5 concerto's, I highly recommend. Absolutely beautiful. I hope they are listened to and studied another 300 years.
I'm inclined to agree. It is pure joy in music itself whereas other approaches gather from human experience, this one gathers directly from the divine it would seem. I'm trying to curb my enthusiasm but it's difficult!
Shall we neglect to praise and laud the staging and filming of this, or fail to say that it is as pleasing to the eyes as ears? No, ladies and gentlemen: we shall not.
More of a rap guy myself but my piano teacher told me to listen to this and boy is it beautiful to see people who love making art doing their work. Right on!
This is my favourite Brandenburg. It's so wonderfully descriptive. An 18th century gentleman goes out for a drive with his horse and buggy on a bright, crisp Spring morning. That's the first movement. He stops at a tavern for a refreshing beer - the intermezzo. Then , realising the time, he hurries home to be in time for supper - the faster allegro movement. It was also a joy to see the four violinists tossing the musical motifs amongst themselves like a volleyball team. 😊
Bach has saved many lives...His music is the manifestation of something that trascends the miseries of the world and transports to a Spiritual Realm of orderly beauty and unphatomable harmony. Thank you Johan Sebastian!
The phrasing, dynamic range and mastery of this piece by these musicians really makes it so inspiring, especially in the first movement. The conversation among the cellos, violins and violas is wonderful.
La longue cadence vers 4:30 reprise par les violoncelles est stupéfiante, on dit d'habitude que le "Sturm und Drang" commence avec Carl Philippe Emmanuel et Haydn, mais là on est déjà en plein dedans ! Le génie de Bach avec une très belle interprétation par Voices of Music, as usual !
Bach somehow defines Western Civilization with that turn at 5:02. It’s just indescribably brilliant. He delivered this creation in the year 1721, maybe earlier.
I do not know where to begin. First, ahhh Bach. Enough said. Then the ensemble. All extremely talented musicians. Flawless performance. Then the videography and sound quality are high-end. Well done by all involved. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece of a performance.
This is the most perfect rendition I have ever heard. They balance their instruments perfectly and their command of their instruments and knowledge and passion of their playing, just puts me in heaven. Oh my!
Still the beaty of all musicians didn't expired,I'm watching this recording, hundreds of times,any other recording can't beat the "voices of music, thank you very much mr.david Taylor and Mrs.hanakke van proosdij
I can listen to the first movement forever. When I had a particularly bad day i would play, rewind, play again, rewind, etc. My daughter was only 3 but she quickly learned if Mommy did this, it's best to sit quietly in your car seat until we get home. (She's now 37.) Love this performance so much!
The clarity of playing is astounding! I have sometimes not liked some performances of Bach's music, and Baroque music in general, because the players, be they on modern or so-called period instruments, play very fast and slur the notes together. But the Voices of Music players have a superb articulation without sacrificing the smoothness amd momentum of the performance. Superbly played!
robertm2000, I am sorry for my inadequate English. I agree with you, it sounds very good! Maybe they know better than everyone else where to put the microphones? :-)
I love this more than anything. It not only sounds beautiful on the baroque instruments but it is a wonderful performance to watch because everyone is so into the music and everybody wearing red with the dark background truly pulls it off. Such musicality and spirit, beyond appreciation! If only I could listen to all six Brandenburg concertos from you guys!
How did anything on this planet get to be so beautiful, in the composure and the execution alike. If you close your eyes, you can see the waves of beauty flowing up and out from these musicians.
There is something so prefect about this. It's like a butterfly opening it's wings to reveal the perfect symmetry or splitting a piece of wood to open up it's perfect book matching. It's a perfect order, before entropy changes that.
One of the best recordings of this concerto that I've heard. This ensemble has the maturity of seasoned musicians but vigor of young virtuosi. Bravi tutti!
This and Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" are sheer perfection and a glimpse into the beauty of what mankind can achieve at its best. The Blue Danube too is pretty awesome. I crank that up in my car a lot.😎
Oh my goodness, this is an exquisite interpretation of the mightiest musical Maestro’s amazing Brandenburg 3. Perfect tempo and tone, I really love it - thank you so much. Bach, will forever be the greatest of all, it’s as if he transported a little piece of heaven into each of his compositions 👍
This is one of my all time fav pieces of music and it way too often gets butchered because of wrong tempo. THIS is one of my favorite recordings! I LOVE IT!!!
The depth of the music is spectacular. The balance of the instrumentation is excellent, which creates a very profound and sophisticated watching experience. Outstanding performance!!
It's been over 30 years since I played the double bass in my high school orchestra. I wasn't great, but I was 1st chair (because no one else played the bass), and Brandenburg 3 was (and still is) one of my most favorite pieces of music. Y'all played beautifully, and I broke down in tears while listening to and watching this recording. I suppose retrospection and mortality hits us hard sometimes, but thank you.
from a current semi-pro bassist it is never too late to get back into it! Baroque is some of the most satisfying bass parts if you really get into them.
I still don't know why you guys only have like 196K subscribers, this is one the best sound quality and performance with 4K footage. How in the world people not like this?
This is a world class performance of Bach's 3rd Brandenburg concerto, and I've had the privilege to listen to many, including live performances by two of the most prominent early music ensembles in the world. This one is is just to masterfully executed. No matter how many times I listen to these concerti, I always hear something new and exciting.
That's the right way to play Bach ..on period instruments .. this is another world ..( and for the performer too ; it's really anothers sensations , and for the lover too ..) Something else ..
I played the viola part in high school (in the late '70's) with my classical friends SO MUCH that I have the 3rd concerto memorized. Since orchestra was just before lunch would play right through lunch. I've played all six concertos over the years and love them all, though 3 and 5 are my absolute favorites! ❤
What an exquisite way to start my day! Praising God and worshipping Jesus with this music. Inspired and magnificent!!!! Thank you for sharing this on RUclips.
I'm a New World Man. I love Rock. I love Rush. I love ZZ Top, Pat Benetar, Genesis, even Reel Big Fish. My Dad would have no Rock music in the house. I grew up with the Ohio State Marching Band albums and classical music. The first album I can remember hearing was Walter Carlos' (now Walter) Moog synthesizers with "Switched On Bach" and I never forgot this whole piece. Ever. Bach was the closest to God in my opinion. Thank you Voices, I am a contributor.
Anna Magdalena: "Come to me!" Johann Sebastian: "I need to finish the 2nd movement of the 3rd Brandenburg Concerto." Anna Magdalena: "My parents are not at home." Johann Sebastian: 05:34
The Brandenburg Concerti would be one of my Desert Island Discs, and this version of No 3 would be there. Superb. An observation is that musicianship is one of the few disciplines that knows no age or sex discrimination, a true level playing field. Bravo to all.
🎼 The elegance and sophistication of classical music are unparalleled. It's a musical journey that unfolds with grace and precision, leaving an indelible mark on the heart. 🎻💖
And still counting. Such an AWE inspiring performance !! Truly LOVE it so much. Can't express the genius approach you people showed here. up to the 5 mil and up !
I really love how these people played the piece with the tools available during the Barique period. They used Baroque bows (which I have neve tried but look both fun and difficult). The cellos also had their endpids retracted like how cellos during the baroque period weren't usually built with end pins.
I can listen to this classical piece over and over. It is so spiritually uplifting. What a genius of BACH. THE Orchestra is absolutely devoted in honoring this magical piece. I can feel it deep within me.
Let's us not forget that JS Bach may be the greatest musical genius of the past 500 yrs. Not only was he one of the greatest composers ever, he was the greatest organist in the world in the early 18th century. Many contemporaries said he was the greatest organist in the world, but he was the greatest organist who had ever lived or would ever live. He could do it all.. compose, perform and conduct
I love how on 4:02 the violas and violins managed to make that muffled-cacophony-like sound without too dominating the basses who carry out the theme at this point 👏👏
Make it so, No. 3.
Engage!
Ooo
:)
Fun fact: In the episode "A Matter of Time" in Star Trek: TNG at around the 19:35 mark, the piece can be heard!
In my Personal opinion, a favorite amongst the Viola's and Bassists.
All my life I loved J S Bach, but I never imagined that one day I would be listening to a Brandenburg concerto whilst sitting in my apartment...in the state of Brandenburg!
Thanks to the technology!!!
My dad died listening to this. His last words were”so beautiful “. Not a bad way to go.
I'm so sorry for your loss
I am so sorry for you but you gave him comfort at the end
Thank you for sharing 2:14
We should all go listening to our favorite music!
Peace be with your dad and yourself
My father was a choir director and church organist. I grew up hearing Bach being played in the house. I feel as though my dad is around when I listen to this music.
300 years old and still so relevant and lovely
Still will b around In 1000 years..

In my view the Brandenburg Concertos represent the greatest achievement in the history of mankind.
Agreed 100%!
The lady cellist to the viewer's right of the harpsichord is SUCH A JOY to watch!!! From what I see, she loves life and music! BRAVO!
Tanya Tomkins! 👏👏
Me encanta!!!
Exactly.
Fabulosa!
The cello is like a part of her body. She's in complete control
Bach is probably the greatest Genius of all time
Stravinsky said Bach was better at music than anyone else is at anything.
He is!
Yes indeed
It sounds like climbing a never ending staircase of pure joy 😊
great way to put it
I can listen to it a thousand times without getting bored. Sounds like music from heaven.
Me too
I believe it to be
It heals the mind
I remember when I was in middle school right before the Internet became a thing, I had the attention span to just sit back and listen to music like this for an hour or two and not feel distracted. It was great.
10 min or even 3 is still good for you
In all my 24 years playing the cello, I have NEVER found a better interpretacion of this masterpiece... Brilliant and congrats...

I'm quite sure Bach's music has healing properties. It puts you in touch with the harmony inherent in the Universe (as described by Kepler).
It's hard to believe a human being is capable of writing this..
You have no idea how many times I've thought the same
Yes ditto
...But is true! God's things!
This comment should be Pinned to the top.
This music is a gift from the highest spiritual realms

Alvaro many of our contemporaries look down at people of our ilk. They think we are out of touch, unfortunately they they do not realize the glory of the music we love.

What’s incredible about Bach is that he says so many things without uttering a single word
I can listen to the first movement forever. When I had a particularly bad day i would play, rewind, play again, rewind, etc. My daughter was only 3 but she quickly learned if Mommy did this, it's best to sit quietly in your car seat until we get home. (She's now 37.)

I have J. S. Bach as the greatest, most talented and creative musician that has ever set foot on the third rock from the sun, awesome rendition...
Since my tween years, i've always been musically obsessed with the Allegro section. I love it's swiftness, and all the lines sort of playing catch-up.
This is truly the finest. I'm humbled by their performance. Go from strength to strength. Never stop.

It is incredible the fact that Germany has giving birth a geniuos like bach, for me the grestest musician of all time.
So many instruments but ... just one music, just one mind.
Thank you for sharing.
Best version on RUclips
Everything they perform is the best on you tube🙂
Yes!
The sound quality is sooo good
Tx!
Bach certainly keep everybody in the orchestra on their toes.... 🎶
Perfect in balance between instruments and timing and expression. I LOVE this group of musicians❣️
Great rendition. Bach's music is joyous and dynamic, apt to lift the spirits of all who know how to appreciate it.
I really love how these people played the piece with the tools available during the Barique period. They used Baroque bows (which I have neve tried but look both fun and difficult). The cellos also had their endpids retracted like how cellos during the baroque period weren't usually built with end pins.
WOW! I never noticed that!
I can listen to this classical piece over and over. It is so spiritually uplifting. What a genius of BACH. THE Orchestra is absolutely devoted in honoring this magical piece. I can feel it deep within me.
Let's us not forget that JS Bach may be the greatest musical genius of the past 500 yrs. Not only was he one of the greatest composers ever, he was the greatest organist in the world in the early 18th century. Many contemporaries said he was the greatest organist in the world, but he was the greatest organist who had ever lived or would ever live. He could do it all.. compose, perform and conduct
no doubt
He had to maintain a lot of suns, a big family ;-)
@@jajudez y que tiene que ver eso con su capacidad de creación artística?
Jose GOMEZ VENTO con la calidad nada, se tiene o no. Pero con la cantidad, sí. La necesidad es la necesidad.
Jose GOMEZ VENTO pero vamos, era una broma, como indica el icono final.
I love how on 4:02 the violas and violins managed to make that muffled-cacophony-like sound without too dominating the basses who carry out the theme at this point 👏👏
