- Опубликовано: 26 июн 2024
- The Concert in C major for three harpsichords is Bach’s most interesting concerto, thinks harpsichordist Lars Ulrik Mortensen, who performed the piece with Menno van Delft and Siebe Henstra for All of Bach. The harpsichordists nearly always operate as a whole, even playing large parts the same in one hand or even both.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on 15 October 2017 at Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

Can you stick that comment to the top please? Or post the information in the description. Beautiful music, thank you.
Bach was divinely inspired.

Another of my favorite piece to work out to at the gym. Sometimes I look around at other people listening to music and wonder if any of them are listening to Bach, or any classical music, or is it just me LOL.
It's probably just you. I stopped worrying about it and let my geek flag fly. Seriously, there are a lot of fans. We are scattered out.
First movement is one of my go-to’s on the treadmill. Lol. Thought I was the only one.
@@davidswan3071I usually run with first movement, it has so much power😊
I do the same.
OMG SO RELATABLE!! I don’t go to the gym since I’m not old enough but during my studies, I always wonder if I’m the only one in class listening to baroque music
That third movement literally rocks.
The way they sign off in turn at the end always blows me away.
Bach's harpsichord concertos are too beautiful to be study music. I stopped my studies to watch the video and listen carefully to the concerto all the way to the end.
Unabhängig von der Echtheitsfrage bin ich mit Robert Huang einverstanden, dass das C-Dur-Konzert ein tolles Stück ist, welches auch sehr gut interpretiert wird.
and hopefully you studied how bach carefully composed this wonderful piece of music
In 100 percent seriousness: if you are failing to study for a degree (that I assume is costing 10s of thousands of $$) because you are engrossed in 270 year old music from a half rate, over hyped composer; you need psychiatric help. There is no joke here.
I thought I was the only one!! I literally ended spending an hour just listening to his music and totally forgot about my chores
As the due date is getting near...
People in the 18th century: how many harpsichords can you compose for?
Bach: Yes.
I could compose for five or more, but I don't have enough sons to play them.
I actually would have said "Ja!" But i get the point :)
@@johannsebastianbach3411 I love you
@@johannsebastianbach3411im a huge fan of your music!! When are you gonna release WTK book 3 and finish the art of the fugue
Many, many years ago I used to have a recurrent dream in which I found myself out Zimmerman's Coffee House, heard the music, and went inside to see Bach and two of his sons playing this with members of the Collegium Musicum.
I wish I had those kind of dreams
This harpsichord concerto by Bach was an, open palm, slap in the face of every musician when composed. Like: "look what I can do, and now you go home, eat some bread, and see you in 10 years".
*Deep bow to the floor*
Harpsichords are so underrated
I have one here in my house. With two manuale, below 8 feet and 16 feet above 8 and 4 feet. This is my greatest treasure.
@@ernst-dietmarhorstmann4949 daaaaaamb I wish
Yes indeed
@@ernst-dietmarhorstmann4949Can I have it for free please :)
Its about time we see a three harpshicord concerto again
Who can ever dislike this?
A loser with no future
This is the first piece of Bach's music that I fell in love with 46 years ago. I love it just as much today!
This was the first harpsichord Concerto of Bach's that I fell in love with. I knew the Brandenburgs and Violin Concertos, but when I got a Nonesuch LP with these concertos in 1970... this was the one I always played. I also love the original violin version of this concerto.
redbrian3655 ...Me too. Only it was with Pinnock on Arkive
I grew up with Das Alte Werk. But Bach is a genius after all these years. What pleasure!
Boy, I remember the first time I heard this concerto... it was an old recording on a discounted cassette tape I picked out from a bin in a store somewhere in the 80's... BACH never ages... actually gets better with age. Thanks NBS! :-)
Everyone is equally posessed in this clip. Bravo! Passion 1000%
This is an arrangement of a lost Concerto for 3 Violins in D major, BWV 1064R (Bach, Johann Sebastian).
Thanks to Allofbach and to Shunske Sato for the artistic direction. He looks like a very nice person and an excellent musician that makes Bach alive.
I'd give anything to meet Sato and the other brilliant musicians at NBS.
All that beautiful music from only 8 players, it's amazing.
What a delight it must have been to play in ensemble alongside with Maestro for his family, students and friends, and to bring to life and of course, to witness the emergence of his musical “Nevertheless... “ along with musical “comforting tap on the shoulder and reassuring nod”, yet followed with surprising “winks” just when a sad reminder might have tried to interfere. Time to be grateful for all of the gracefulness of the dance that is always in the air for us to be grasped... Time for not merely knowing, but instead, for experiencing with all senses that this too ...shall ...pass
Thank you very much for brining to life this, yet another unfairly lesser known gem that must have been enjoyed so much by the inner circles of humble Maestro of all times, being treated by him like royalty, tenderly and most lovingly... Much awaited and certainly medicinal!
Bach-family music at the Zimmermann-Cafe
Listening and watching this fabulous concert by the genius, I see directly the oriental meaning of "being-one-with" in particular with the three harpsichordists and rest of the players who mingle at perfection. Thanks!!!
This is what is meant when music is called the universal language
Been "binge-listening" to this recording! Absolute magic!
Again, this is one of the first pieces of Bach that I ever heard, so many years ago. It still moves me almost to tears, from the opening notes to the end.
Is there anything more heavenly than this masterpiece?
And could this masterpiece possibly be performed better than by the Netherlands Bach Society?
Not the slightest flaw, Bach at his best. Tempo, sharpness, harmony, expression, devotion and inspiration so fundamentially divine!
You are touching my heart and my soul. Thank you so much!
Yes, to your first question. It is one of Bach's least interesting compositions. Harpsichords are not violins and it makes no sense to compose for more than one. Piano's are different because of the tones and the fact the sound does not have a double frequency, but even then , more than 2 pianos adds nothing.
in fact, i wonder if Bach really composed this piece of musical noise. Its as though making three means zero value to any one keyboard instrument.
This piece is quite ugly and nonsensical, which is why I am confident that JS did write this. But YES, there are many many pieces far more heavenly than this piece.
@@nottinghillad🤓☝️
Don't listen to these dummies.
Bach re-orchestrated Vivaldi's "Concerto for 4 Violins" into his "Concerto for Four Harpsichords".
His concertos for 3 and 4 harpsichords is some of his best work.

Wonderful, lively, happy music. Thank you for this refreshment for the spirit.
Bach’s music is usually lively，happy and upbeat😄
It's all going on for J.S in those Netherlands! This is just fantastic. Superb balance, energy and fun! And a beautiful 16ft bass & ripieno group. Terrific
What a delight - so much energy. Truly Bach at his best.
I have almost worn out my recordings of this. So much fun for three harpsichords. Bach's greatest works for instruments to me, are the finest music of the time.
Wonderful, superb
Like so many Bach fans, I have been waiting for my favorites to performed by NBS. BWV 1064 has been one of my favorites for near 50 years. Most worth the wait to hear your performance.
Also, like so many I am sure, I have been enjoying not just the music but also the commentaries as well. You may not know me but you all are like old friends to me now. I am and continue to look forward to being wowed by your great endeavors. I am most grateful!
I agree; the third movement of this is one of the most engaging things Bach ever wrote -- and that's saying an immensity.
@@spiritualpolitics8205 bach for ever!!!
Me who agrees with you but we are like several decades apart ( I’m 13 )
Am I the only one that presses like at the beginning of the video?
No. I always hear the concerto in D minor, and when I found out there was one in C major I immediately pressed like before it started playing 😂
Nope - I do it too - I just assume that I'll like the performances from this series. (I can always rescind my like if i need to - although I have never needed to :) )
No, Beethoven, you're not the only one
Just like Ludwig to always feel alone. We are with you Ludwig. I always press like,
Nah you’re not
Is official, Bach makes me do it
Merveilleux !!! Un grand bravo je ne me lasse pas d'écouter. Merci Bach merci aux fabuleux interprètes
Beautiful, THANKS! Bach forever!
Magnifique BWV 1064!
il n'y a qu'un Bach et il n'y a qu'un Netherlands Bach Society!
BRAVO!
En effet.
J. S. Bach broke the mold when he wrote this. 3 harpsichords (even at the time of their prime) was very unlikely. The sound is just THICC!
You can NEVER have too much harpsichord!!!
Este concierto es muy sensible para mí... el primero movimiento lo escuché en 1996 y me gustó tanto, demasiado que prometí no dejar de escuchar a Bach. Tanta belleza matemática y sonora. Cómo se le pudo ocurrir tales notas en 3 claves!!!
The adagio feels so relatable idk why ❤
Netherlands Bach Society made me love harpsichord after listening so much Bach on piano, adagio is beautiful and very delicately performed thank you all
Luego de haber escuchado miles de veces a mi adorado J. S. Bach, es la primera vez que escucho este concierto.
Fantástica interpretación
Busca la reconstrucción para 3 violines de este mismo concierto 👌🏻
Three cheers for magnificent work by the cellist, especially in the third movement. Unimprovable!
Can't stop this video, what a quality. Thanks!
I listened to this concerto so many times as a teenager in the late 80s (Trevor Pinnock on vinyl) while reading sci-fi novels with my cat that now it always reminds me of Tuf Voyaging, Haviland Tuf cruising through the galaxy with his cats in search of new problems to fix
Absolutely exquisite!
Brilliantly played and excellently recorded. Thank you.
Such beautiful music ❤️
¡Excelso! Gracias.
Beautifully performed, everyone!
It is all so heartfelt masterful. I would just like the harpsichords stand out very clearly and the strings more on the background. Could be done technically with mics. I just want to not miss out on anything these amazing harpsichord players are doing.
it's wonderful music!
Muchas gracias por subir estos maravillosos videos. Desde Buenos Aires Argentina. 💖💖💖👏👏👏👏
bravo !
Magnifico !
Seems like harpsichords are all over the place in netherlands. For me to even play one for real would be 1 in a million.
Well, we had Leonhard which meant a concentration of a lot of talent (in the form of students from all over the world). Perhaps this led to an above average interest in the relatively, sadly by now obscure, instrument.
@@kooistradurk I believe the harpsichord ironically got a setback with the early twentieth century harpsichord revival and the introduction of "improved" instruments, with metal frames and heavy wires, and which sounded inflexible and were tuned in equal temperament. Today's players with their historically-correct instruments are able to employ techniques like over-holding notes, which greatly enrich the expressive possibilities.
@@TheGloryofMusic Those nasty sounding "modern" harpsichords sound like you're playing on out of tune bedsprings. It seems few people play them now, although they may show up in modern orchestra renditions, which generally sound like crap anyway. My local classical music radio station likes to play Bach's "keyboard" concertos, which I know consists of someone pounding on the piano like Bach is Liszt! Ouch!
@@AML2000 I learned playing harpsichord on a Neupert, which wasn't a bad-sounding instrument (it's a sort of hybrid of a revival harpsichord and a "real" one). The big advantage of historically correct harpsichords is their greater resonance.
In my country nobody probably knows what even a harpsichord is
Espléndido. 👏👏👏👏Bravo
Bravíssimo 👏👏👏👏
Turns out homeboy on the middle twang piano is rocking out because he's conducting. Interesting
Marvelous performance! I however found the tempos in the outer movements perhaps to speedy. This music is so dense with ideas. A slightly moderated tempo wouldn't necessarily sound ponderous and would enable the listener to take in more lovely details. As the composer and performer, I think that Bach would probably have played the outer movement a bit more slowly to facilitate clarity. Congratulations though on keeping things nicely together, dispite somewhat breakneck tempos!
I respectfully disagree, I think Bach and his sons would have taken this as fast as humanly possible.
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses einzigartig konstruierten doch perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit schimmernden Tönen dreier genialen Solocembali sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen anderer historischen Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und auch lyrisch. Der intelligente Cembalist/Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Ensemble im gut phrasierten Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach wunderbar!
¡Realmente maravillosos! GRACIAS infinitas por hacernos sentir vivas todas las emociones más agradables con la escucha de esta deliciosa interpretación. Un privilegio poder disfrutar de tan genial regalo. 💙❤💚💛💜🌝⚘🎶
Unbelievable Performance !
Despite the fact that both outer movements seem a tad too frantic tempo-wise, this is a marvelous rendition - my favorite Bach harpsichord concerto. 👍 ❤️
yep-especially the final movement IMO
Mortensen rushes and makes the ensemble sound frantic and unsteady.
Bravo Bach! Bravo NBS! ❤️🎼🎵🎶👏🇮🇪☘️
schitterend thumbs up !
Grande J.S.Bach.....go go go
Nothing like the OG jam sesh
Wie kann etwas so wild

バッハの曲には、喜びに溢れている。3台のチェンバロの協奏曲も聴くたびに、喜びに溢れる。しかし、ええチェンバロが並んどるな。
Great event I will not soon forget. Only sitting on the front row in 't Muziekgebouw was not a very good idea in this case ;-)
2:50 to 3:00 is 10 seconds of absolute beauty
1:34 never heard something like that before
Ein gewaltiger Klangrausch im Kubik! So ich kann ich mir wirklich das Ambiente im Café Zimmermann vorstellen, wenn das Collegium Musicum mit JSB dort aufgetreten sind und dabei ihren Spaß hatten. Sehr genießbar!
🌹🍀
Seria muito bom se vocês disponibilizasse o áudio sem compressão para o download/compra
There's a kind of emperors new clothes to this so I'm going to be the little boy..."why not just one ?"
Too many notes . . . for only two hands; then there are the dynamics to consider.
Because it's an arrangement of a (lost) concerto for 3 principal violins, ripieno strings, and continuo. Here's a reconstruction (BWV 1064R):

@@donna30044 Since they are able to play all the notes, your comment is nonsense.
Herrick Inman Um, no it isn’t. The three harpsichords are not in unison for most of the concerto. One harpsichord could not play all three harpsichord parts at once.
I love the music of Bach.
Only thing I wanted here was a change in the sound levels.
Could have had the Harpsichord a little louder and the strings muted a little more.
They overpowered the Harpsichord in some parts but still extremely awesome
I have to disagree, to me the balance is perfectly fine and I appreciate the harpsichords not being „in your face“ but embedded in the ensemble.
I was thinking of comenting "this needed 6 harpsichords" but didn't wanna be disrespectfull
Les tous premiers instants de mouvement 3 me font penser à miles Davis , quand il patauge avant de faire émerger la note .
Lovely interpretation. I read earlier comments about the tempi of the outer movements being too fast. I couldn't disagree more. There's no greater crime than turning allegro Bach into a funeral dirge by playing too slow.
We have to make allowances for the elderly and the infirmed who can't keep up with fast tempos.
A totally over the top piece (in a good way), the Baroque equivalent of turning the amplifier up to 11..?
Or to 111?
I am happy with music 👨💼☺
I wait that when AllofBach is finished, țhere will start AllofBuxtehude, AllofSchelle and AllofRosenmüller... Or course that for AllofSchelle somebody would need to pick up all his "no more readable" scores from St. Thomas library out-of-window, ehem! Door! out-of-door! :'(
ermoso
Great performance. But is it just me, or was there something odd at 15:08, sounding like parallel fourths in the strings?
прекрасно! когда будет СD?
Kinda looks like the Three Bobbleheads at the beginning, LOL. Exciting music.
som muito embolado. Nao achei que ficou bom. Nem sempre complexidade eh proporcional a beleza.
Oh no, there are people also do not like this music, seriously?
1악장 3악장 전부 알레그로!
How are there three solo harpsichords and continuo at the same time? Does the continuo role get passed to one harpsichord at a time?
Одессса в низком поклоне , браво! Спасибо
So much of Bach's music sounds an awful lot like the rest of his music,
but I like most of it in spite of its general sameness.
This is as good as almost anything else he put on paper.
Listen to Bach and only Bach for a few weeks or months and that feeling of sameness will evaporate.
@@jaikee9477 Well, you see, I've Been listening to Bach for nearly fifty years,
and his compositions keep seeming More alike as I hear more of them.
Keep in mind that I Do like most of them, as I already said.
David O'Banion I think this can be said of any composer - it’s why I mainly try to listen to the more “unique” Bach pieces, such as this one, rather than his thousand cantatas
Tre gange cembalo, det er jo bare så smukt at lytte til.....

6:10 what is the song name?
That is the adagio part of this concerto.
who's listening to this in 2020?! they don't make good music like this anymore!

Das interessanteste von Bachs Konzerten ist es sicher nicht, schon nur deshalb nicht, weil es vielleicht gar nicht von Bach ist. Ich finde das d-moll-Konzert für zwei Violinen wesentlich interessanter.
Eh klar, und die Amis waren auch nicht auf´m Mond.
Ulrich Baumgartner
Warum sollte das nicht von Bach sein? Ich besitze selber die Noten und dort steht ebenfalls dass die Echthheit nicht erwiesen werden kann, aber ich finde ansonsten auch nichts dazu. Es klingt jedenfalls 100% nach Bach
@@user-fu7zf4ck9z Der Personalstil ist ja in der Barockzeit meist nicht sehr ausgeprägt und war übrigens meist auch nicht erwünscht. Meines Wissens gibt es verschiedene Werke, die man früher J.S. Bach zugeschrieben hat, von denen aber heute bekannt ist, dass sie Telemann oder C.Ph.E. bzw. W.F. Bach komponiert haben.
Es ist gar nicht sicher, dass das Werk von Bach stammt. Was hingegen sicher ist, dass es sich um eine Bearbeitung eines ursprünglichen Konzertes für vermutlich drei Violinen und Streicher von ?? handelt.
It sure sounds like Bach to me. And if not Bach, who?
@@hans-jorgrechtsteiner1070 Danke, eine bessere Antwort kann man nicht geben.
Ulrich Baumgartner
Das Werk (ebenso wie das tripelkonzert in d moll) ist viel zu kompliziert um von einem anderen komponisten dieser Zeit zu stammen
@@user-fu7zf4ck9z Diese Behauptung ist etwas gewagt: In seinen besten bzw. komplizierteren Stücken erreicht z.B. Telemann Bach durchaus.
@@hans-jorgrechtsteiner1070 Prima Ironie, bloss könnte das wirklich mal so sein.
WHAT THE FUCK
Bach was not meant to be played on a piano. It just ain't right.
I tend to agree. However, my first time hearing this was Robert Casadesus and two of his family. Enjoyed the beauty of the werke...
