  • ‘Sei solo’… you’re on your own? In the days before ‘AutoCorrect’, spelling was mainly a question of feeling, especially in another language. But what if Bach deliberately did not write ‘Sei soli’ above his six violin solos? What if he wanted to warn his soloist before sending them out on stage armed only with a bow, four strings and a few of his most difficult pieces in his head?
    Recorded on November 28th 2015 at the Oude Dorpskerk, Bunnik. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB or consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

Bach and many other composers are way to underated in our society.

      Bach music is also not popular in my country at all, people say it's boring and repetitive. When I was younger, at around your age, I used to wonder why he was so famous although nobody I knew listened to his music, Beethoven and Mozart's music is much more popular here.
      Then I listened to the cello suites, then the violin and keyboard works, I can't say enough how much I love Bach's music. It's got so much diversity, depth and structure yet very enjoyable.

      @randomoneforstuff3696 3 года назад +23

      @@datdang9113 It is quite ironic that people say that Bach is repetitive when compared to Mozart and Beethoven. Just listen to the returning motif in nearly all of Mozart's works, as many of them are in ternary form (A B A). Also listen to all of the Sonatas that Beethoven wrote, and you can hear the returning motif in the recapitulation, just altered.
      Also, just so you know - Bach is mostly famous for writing the most pieces out of any composer ever.
      Bach's most famous works have structure. The not-so-famous ones that don't have structure just don't get played. Another amazing thing about J.S. Bach's works (and many other Baroque composers) is that the melodies are contrasted by counterpoint melodies. An amazing example of this is in Bach's 15 Inventions for the Harpsichord. Also, in general, Baroque music is touted as boring by many people. That is why most modern Piano players tend to play less Bach and more Romantic Period junk like Chopin and Liszt. The seasickness of those Romantic composers will destroy my happiness. That is why I listen to Bach. (Baroque music is also harder to play on the violin and piano because on the violin you can't hide your bad intonation with vibrato, and on the piano you can't hide your missed notes and bad tone with the damper pedal.

      I am 17 and I totally agree with you. The young generation is not mature enough to understand the beauty of classical music. Pop music suits young people better, because it is built upon simplicity and impulsiveness, not on deep thought. These works are true masterpieces. A classical music lover is ridiculed, not honored. What a shame!

    I suppose I've been listening to this music for about 50 years. It's as astonishing today as it was then. And now we hear it completely differently, thanks to the curiosity of several generations of performers. Bows, strings, setup have changed in the process but for me the biggest change is understanding of rhetoric in this music. It literally speaks more clearly.
    It's hard to praise this enough so instead a very big thank you to all involved.

    I remember seeing little Shun playing at violin masterclasses led by his pre-Juilliard teacher, Lee Snyder. Even as a child, he was brilliantly talented as well as modest, respectful, and eager to learn. He had the whole package: he was simply unforgettable. This year, I discovered the incredible NBS channel and began watching/listening to its videos every day, and I was so surprised and happy to see his name and to further learn that he's become the artistic director of the ensemble. Sometimes prodigies burn out early, unfortunately, so I'm delighted to see that he's grown up into such an outstanding musician with such a vibrant career. Bravo, and thank you for this incredible performance!

    I love works by Netherland Bach Society because the artists use their technical skills too well. I was presently listening to some other recordings of the Allemande, and I noticed how some of the other artists were so concerned with showing off technical prowess as if it were a Paganini Caprice. Sato, on the other hand, plays the Allemande so naturally that the music rings through and appears as effortless. The emotionality of the music is of supreme importance - everything else is secondary. And, that is why almost all works of Bach recorded by Netherland Bach Society are so impactful. Thank You!

      That is so true. It creates a natural air where you can focus on listening and enjoying the whole instead of being derailed by "Omg, that was really hard to play!" which instancely also creates a feeling of dissonant unbelief. I compare that to looking at a painting of, say, Turner, and instead of taking a few steps back to experience the whole, You pick up a magnifying glass to admire the brush.
      This is, as you say, effortless skill, where he makes all the technically really demanding passages ring easy instead of hard, where we would otherwise be derailed by the the suspense in "will he make it?, How will this passage sound?" They just simply flow and he presents this very exciting piece like if it has always been there for us to enjoy on a plate.

      Instrumentalists remember things very diffrently. I think there might be freaks that remember notes, but mostly is just practising pieces of somewhat equal difficulty, remember them somewhat like what i could call a sequence, but it is not the order of things you remember, it like the whole is there as a whole. You hear it in your head all at once. Hard to explain... then putting the pieces in some order.

    I came here for a more "authentic" interpretation of the Chaconne and I was not disappointed. I appreciate modern interpretations but for me the joy of Baroque music emanates from the ever-impending rhythmic pulse imbued by the counterpoint. There is a reason that these suites, sonatas, and partitas contain so many dance movements. The Chaconne is ALREADY laden with every emotion the human experience is capable of yielding. All the power is contained within the score. The performer only needs to wind up the crank and let the music churn forth

    From this glorious Partita one can see: Sato is absolutely one with Bach, and has given up his 'musician's ego' in order to embody the essence of his work. He, like most of the musicians of the Bach Society, obviously loves what this master of music has created. In fact, he loves it so much that his soul becomes transparent, where nothing exists but the melodies of his master (Bach). Even to hear how Sato understands and talks Bach in the interviews is a special experience. One of the most well-rounded, inwardly-driven musicians, interpreters, and co-creators that I have come across. Honestly, he is the one that has made me love Baroque music even more than I already did. Now, I cannot last a day without listening to one of his interpretations! This is just my humble experience. Anyone here, if the world has been blessed with other classical musicians like him in this generation or in the past, please, enlighten me! My ears would definitely love to listen to them!

      Bach would’ve said that you’re wiggling too much on the violin. Be more steady & expressive, it’s not about technique but it’s about your heart! He would’ve asked you first, what era are you from? It doesn’t sound like you’re familiar with Baroque music. It sounds corrupt in my opinion & needs a lot of manipulation in respect to familiarizing yourself to this era of music & it definitely needs manifestation of the soul, it is indeed the hardest part of being a good interpreter of my music, Bach! Even the best violinist of my time cannot play my music the way I intended for it to be played as. He would’ve said, you’re far from ready my friend, but nothing is possible in the hands of Bach. I can teach you to be the greatest violinist of all time. But however, sorry because I’m no longer living amongst you people anymore. So, therefore it is impossible that you can play in favor of J. S. Bach. Not just you, but everybody. Bach’s morality of his music is insane, he is very strict, impossibly strict. Because there exists non other like him, let alone interpret his music just like the way he intended. One must understand the way he did in order to also play like the way he did. This I’m afraid is impossible! Bach is the only instructor who can teach this, not to anyone but only to the people very close to his heart.. We are long from that, the only evidence we have is the manuscript. We can try all that we can, but it can never be perfect anymore. That time is finished & remains as history, nobody can bring it back, only if God points a finger on another Bach in this world only then would this music brought back to life..

      markus e. lipka You misunderstood my statement, I didn’t say if Bach didn’t want people to play his music after death, so that he would’ve annihilate his works. To be more clear, of course Bach would want people to play his music after death. This is his reputation as a composer after all his years of hard work he spent in the world, i agree it is totally absurd to say he wouldn’t want anyone to play his works after he died. The point I’m making is as he was living during his time, whoever played his music without his own guidance didn’t interpret it the exact way Bach sees it in his head. Even till this day, nobody can see Bach’s own imagination in their heads, I agree everyone has different approaches to play the music but what I’m saying is nobody can play the music just how Bach intended to be played as in his head. Like I said, only unless there is another genius like Bach in the world who is at another level to understand Bach’s music just like the way he did. Only then can the music be played with Bach’s own imagination of how precisely each & every single note shall be played as. This is very very very detailed playing, that’s why I say it is impossible to play it in his favor, that’s what I meant to say. Not Bach didn’t want anyone to play his music after he died, that’s totally absurd I completely agree.

    A questo violinista bisogna baciare le mani. Credo che finora sia il migliore in assoluto. Soprattutto ha il grande dono di riportarci la presenza viva di Johann Sebastian Bach. Quale grande amore avrà nel suo cuore per questo compositore unico in tutta la storia... Lo mostra mettendoci tutto se stesso, e credo grazie a un dono soprannaturale. Certe espressioni così sublimi possono venire soltanto dall'Altissimo!

      Yes, it's kind of a mystery. Same is true of other great works of art even thousands of years later. It seems these artists were tapping into a timeless dimension, therefore their works don't "age" in the way more superficial works do.
      In the word of Zen master Dogen: “Nevertheless this great ocean is neither a circle nor has directions. The wondrous features of this ocean that remain beyond our vision are inexhaustible…. It is just that as far as my vision reaches for the time being, it appears to be a circle.” 🙂

    Wow. That audience experienced something very special. Bach doesn't make a gesture as bold as the Chaconne in any other suite, for any instrument, or really in any other work. The keyboard Partitas, for example, are a maximum-effort masterpiece he saw fit to publish, but nothing in them comes close to the ambition of the Chaconne. He was a man possessed when he conceived it. And for this out-of-nowhere masterpiece to be a theme and variations of the most rigid, limited sort, a style already dated by his time...it's just bafflingly good.
