Bach is the red Power Ranger of classical music.
he´s still "the king of baroque music!"
oooh beautiful played ..... this air on a g-string!!! Reminds me of that movie "Johann Sebastian Bach" 2 DVDs 6 hours when he played this piece at the yard of "Duke" Leopold of Koethen.
Thanks sir Bach
Simon Callow, I would recognize his voice from among a million others ...
I have both series 1 and 2 on DVD. Love this program! I can’t believe this was made in 2005 (makes me feel old)🤦♂️🤣.
Do you know any similar documentaries as this one? I must say I would be completely grateful!
@@arturdankovsky8293 not really unfortunately. The others I’ll mention are pretty old now:
BBC Great Composers (1997)
In Search of series (ie Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin and I think a Haydn one came out recently) (2006-2010’s)
Classical Destinations Series 2 (2008)
Debussy Music Cannot Be Learned (1998ish)
Debussy The Musician of The Dream (1980’s)
A Bach documentary presented by Sir John Elliot Gardiner (2009)
9:09 why do I suddenly get this man in my face ?
Happy anniversary guys. My days just wouldn't be the same without you. Looking forward to years more.
Given Bach's vast output, why do we have to listen to the "Air on the G string", THREE times?
That is exactly what came also to my mind ... 😵💫
Bach’s horizon was not fettered by a want of travel. He was able to understand enough of the world through his learning. By collecting and reading musical scores. He must have possessed an extraordinary sense of integrity and purpose to produce all he did without the normal attachments of parents or praise. Much of this probably owes also to a genuine faith. True genius doesn’t often conform to anything we would expect.
@Wolfgang1782 ... how true are your words ...
Vivat for the Maestro J.S.Bach for the Glory of God and the whole Humanity !
@stephanebelizaire3627 ... AMEN ...
Just enjoy what you enjoy from this outdated documentary about the great JSB and skip what you do not enjoy ... Your appreciation of it will not change anything about the greatness of one of very few composers who was blessed with a nearly divine inspiration which was founded in his divine faith ...
8:42 St. John Passion, BWV 245 - Pt. Two: No. 39 Chorus: "Ruht wohl: Ihr heiligen Gebeine"
4:30 Procol Harum's 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' rock on!
"Air" but my favorite peeice of all times will allways be toccata and fugue in d minor.
Lolol..One of my all time favorite songs..✌️
@@marcusfridh8489 Each one has his or her favorite JSB-piece, making his music so universal in nature: there´s something in it for everyone ...
@nikshmenga ... Inspired maybe, in the same way JSB´s music has inspired millions to their own musical creations ...
24:17 idk about that buddy x) still a nice compliment, I guess.
Whats the name of the piece at 00:35 ??
@movingpictures1988 ... Nothing to do with JSB, just some musical wallpaper for these series ...
What is the violin piece that is played in the opening sequence of this series?
I dont know, but i really like it!
I'll try to google it and edit this if i find out.
"TV Theme composed and conducted by Paul Terracini", according to the credits at the end of the programme. He has a Wikipedia entry.
That is the 'air' from the orchestral suite #3 in D. In other words, the second movement of BWV 1068. Hope you found it sooner, and if not then at least that you find it now :)
Classical Destinations by Paul Teracini and Niki Vasilakis performed by the Prague Symphony Orchestra
@@Acorparation It is not, that features only later on, with the violinist being accompanied by the cembalo ...
Favorite quote: Music: For the soul's refreshment & the glory of God. J.S.Bach. Enjoy: Prelude in C- Am Invention at Chris Phally channel on RUclips... 💯 videos more. One of my teachers had me practice Bach's inventions for very good finger exercises & dexterity. Master the tempest is raging, What God has Prepared, With Christ in Paradise, Carried by the angels, Lo! I am with you always 💯 th Chris Phally channel video on RUclips.😊
What is the name of this piece? 2:30
bwv 140
5:18 whats the piece?
Air on the g string
19:30 How and why can such dramatic events of Bach’s life as his month long false imprisonment in Weimar, death of his first wife shortly after, harassment of life long witch hunt etc be cut out from biographical narrative ? What is the reason for these impactful on his music events to be of NO interest of his devotees, in order to have the true portrayal without distortion of what was most important for composer and his legacy?
@rozalinapiano ... Please have a bit of understanding for the fact, that extremely little is known about JSB´s life ... FOR SURE ...
15:08 - is this Bach? Please forgive me. May be I´m a fool and I just didn´t know. What "fucking" BWV is this? this is violin peace - just great! I know that Bach was also a great violin player - by a CD from Nigel Kennedy?
@odunhops7727 ... has nothing to do with JSB, not even sure if the composer even thought of JSB when he scribbled this down ...
When Mozart died, God himself greeted him and said, 'From you, Mr. Mozart, will come the conductor of the heavenly orchestra.' Mozart was surprised and asked, 'Isn't Mr. Bach already here? I think he should be the conductor.' God replied, 'I am Bach.'
@huilustudio ... How true ...
They should've labelled each piece that they played.
Why?
it´s a legend: Bach should have a keyboard battle with Monsieur Louis Marchand .... it never happend
@odunhops7727 .... Was it not supposed to be an organ battle?
Good
Just min 24 the presumptious speaker comentary destroys it all
@alexplatjadaro-yx2nn ... There is quite a good reason for that: the speaker is trying to speak the unspeakable ... Can you do it better?
@@user-zz8ds8or3k yes
@@user-zz8ds8or3k yes

I do better audio mixing on my Windose machine. The narrator needs to slow down a bit. Some passages are hard to understand.
I’m not an anglophone but I understand everything he says.
@@martin3203 . Well, more power to you.
@faharoon357 Really ... Also at the time this video was produced? Get a grip ...
The content starts at 01:37.
Before it's lenghty crap.
17:06 No! Fuckin' liar! 'Twas Mrs. Maria Barbara Bach!
Bach ..." a very local story "......um...in a sense ?......where really did he really need to go given all what is in evidence to contemplate . As in " The Power Of The Aether As Related To Music And Electricity " ( by Eric P. DOLLARD " E.G. )
This point which is repeated twice in this documentary is also completely false. Bach *walked* over 250 miles Arnstadt to Lübeck when he was 20 years old to learn from Dieterich Buxtehude -- staying there for three months.
Not much about Bach
The "buh-ROCK" era?? You mean Baroque?😃😂
The production values on this seem right out of the early 90’s. Yikes, what a loss…
No. Were you even born then, erhm “thezenboy”?
Interpretação excessivamente romântica do violino. Não gostei
An interesting travelogue, but performances were just so-so.
Is the announcer a legitimate Brit? or is he from central casting?
Bach? Take him straight. No chaser.
Cringe
So when did Martin Luther meet Johannes Sebastian Bach?
Yes, Simon Callow is a well-known English actor. He was in the film '4 Weddings and a Funeral' (I think it was his funeral). But the accent is a product of some very horrible elocution lessons, I fear, as nobody really talks like that. He seems to be struggling with reading the autocue, which doesn't help. Probably too vain to wear reading glasses!
@@ulrikjensen6841 The question is not when but where ... and the simple answer is: in Heaven ...
This documentary contained factual errors as well as crappy modern renditions of Bach's music. Further it omitted all kinds of interesting facts that could have added a lot of colour. BTW, note to musicians featured in this doc near the end: don't mess with Bach's basslines... you are not the superior composer.
Bach is most definitely not the father of classical music. His works were largely forgotten after his death. He was not an innovative composer to any degree, instead perfecting the old forms of the suite, the cantata and counterpoint. It was left to his sons, and to Joseph Haydn, Beethoven, Wagner and Debussy to chart the course of music over the past 250 years.
@mathersdavid5113 You know what? You are right, JSB is not the father of classical music ... He is the GODFATHER of ALL music ...
Is Simon Callow too vain to put his glasses on? All those weird pauses make it look like he's struggling to read the autocue.
