Dance Polonaise, 9:58-11:00, lovely! (horn amateur here, not that I am ever going to play this polonaise, but it is highly rewarding listening to these educational serial, and Anneke has it in nice simple understandable presentation, thank you..)

Yes. The polonaise rhythm is there, and in the 1730s Bach composed and dedicated the Kyrie and Gloria of the B-minor Mass to the "king of Poland" and Saxon Elector. But let's not get carried away with the notion that this king was Polish. The so-called king of Poland was the elected king of the Polish Commonwealth. He was born and raised in Germany, not Poland. He was German, not Polish. His principal residence was in Germany, not Poland. In Germany, he reigned as a Saxon duke and one of the 7-9 prince electors of the German Confederation. The prince electors were the most powerful nobles in Germany. Since the Middle Ages, they elected the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a confederation of German states. A few years after the dedication, Bach was granted the title Royal Polish and Saxon Electoral Court Composer, which raised his social standing, placed him under the protection of the Saxon court, and gave him some clout in his dealings with the Leipzig authorities.

Thanks for your insight!

I love the theorbo ❤

God bless you ❤

I love your video and insight into Bach's piece. I'm a cellist, but I had a 7-string bass viol made for me (a number of years ago) to play continuo for my baroque-flutist husband, and we both just adore its sound. Your sound is fabulous, and I'm benefitting from watching and listening to you play! Thanks for this!

The best❤

Clutching my tickets to see both. Anna Dennis !🗣🎶❤

There are so many different performances of John/Matthew Passions on YT the term "embarrassment of riches" fits. Enough already!

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Awful vocals'

She has such a lovely voice and it is a lovely aria. The acoustic is however is so reverberant that it neither helps the singer ,the band nor those listening.

It's hard to imagine Rameau as a "crusty, peppery, vinegary sort of person" when his music is so joyful.

what an exciting process!!! well done!!! i would love to see the entire collection!!

This looks fantastic! And there's Anna Dennis! 😯🎶

This is really lovely, thanks! ❤

Mir stockt der Atem abgesichts des Genies dieser Meszzosopranistin. Umwerfend expressiv nterpretiert sie den packenden Text.

Fantastic video. So interesting and informative, and gorgeous playing! Thank you for sharing.

I never realized how intense those lower notes on the _zu schwer_ part really are, especially as they are rapidly intertwined with the upper notes. The effort it takes to turn around the instrument so as to play them correctly is really something to behold! 👏 The whole thing almost brought a tear to my eye! To think this is just one piece in an entire Passion! Bach was really amazing... people will probably still play his music many centuries from now. Thank you for this video, Mr. Manson! I definitely learned something today...

Me dieron el material necesario para empezar un análisis semiótico sobre esta maravilla de film, gracias! Saludos desde La Plata, Buenos Aires.

Merci pour ces précieux conseils! 😊.

Very lovely and generous!

Beautiful, thank you!

This helped me so much to understand the dance notation, especially the “plié -sauté -eleve”.

The musicians are playing so well that it is not understandably why they choose an overchallenged mezzo with flat depths to sing this who is trying to overcome her own shortcomings by using a gross pressure.

Brook makes such a moving Christ both in this and in Bach.

Lovely of course, but how sad to have cut out so much of the actual soft complaining flute...

Great lesson!

A lover's discourse is one of my favourites, an absolute gem. And this was very beautiful. Thank you!

Leva Sumeja did this same piece with a new style of singing. I love it so much. Leva has just started.

Kristin was my violin teacher back then, in the mid-2000s. To my own shame, I have to say that I was probably one of her worse students. Still I am glad to see that she still enjoys her profession as much as I enjoyed being her student. I hope you are doing well, Kristin. I still think of you while I play Scarborough Fair on my violin. All the best to you Jonas

Nice vidéo Alex, thank you. Is the intrument from Giuseppe Tumiati ?

This has been the most concise explanation I have seen in regards to this instrument. I have always wondered why there was no recorders featuring complex key work like the clarinet or saxophone. Your video answered my question. Much love to you. Cheers.

Thank you for the insight really, about to play this and your experience really helped. Best wishes

Rowan Pierce has the most delightful English accent, and enunciates wonderfully so my old American ears can understand every word. Bravo all!

i appear to be the only guy not here because of some bizarre "modules"

Excellent introduction. Many greetings from Mexico.

I am so excited. I listen to Dunedin brandenburgs and violin concertos on a daily basis

BRILLIANT! Thanks for sharing and great editing skills at the end

Where was this recorded?

Nailed it!

RP did it again!

Delicious

Please who knows her name?

I’m used to hearing this sung by a countertenor but… not complaining. Just fine.

Suggestion to add to the "About" section of this KZbin channel: the city/country in which this group is based.

please visit the Netherlands! 😊👍👍

Delicioso!

Will this video stay up or will it be taken down soon?

Exquisite.
