Yes, quite nice. But I prefer the more rythmical swinging, adventurousplayful and lively performance of Musica Antiqua Köln.

Beautiful!

Une oeuvre sublime et une performance magnifique, plein d’émotion nous invitant de se donner la chance de se faire emporter par nos sentiments de beauté de la vie avec ses contradictions, ses moments de calme, d’harmonie, de reflexion mais donnant naissance à la protestation, la diversification, l’expression de soi et le changement. Merci Karen Ouzounian, Anna Clyne et Knights!

This melody always brings to my mind the death of E. G. Robinson in "Soylent Green".

Lovely! I wish you had recorded the other movements too!

beautiful Bach playing

BRAVO !! Great sound all together and wonderful Gil Shaham 👋👋👋👋👋👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

Gorgeous! One of my all time favorite songs! So pure. Exquisite, indeed.

Absolutely decadent to the ears, insights feelings of fantasy and mystery

Paul Simon allways everywhere....

Is this magic?

Very nice indeed!

At last - an orchestra and soloist who have rhythm and successfully play with all the typically Brahms syncopations respected and played accurately. I love Shaham's no-nonsense and straightforward interpretation together with his beautiful sound.

Bravo!!

Sublime..!!!! Allegro GIOCOSO : première fois que j'entends vraiment le GIOCOSO.! Shaham bien sûr, mais l'orchestre... superbe, léger, espiègle. Bravo le chef.! Wouaaaaa..!

Amazing arrangement and performance. True to both Bach and Simon! Thank you for sharing.

Not in a million years would Europeans dare put a 20th century song in Bach's Brandenburg 3rd's cadenza. Bravo les Américains! Marvellous music ; )

The playing is SO relaxed! Especially while it is so perfect at the same time! Amazed! I collect favorite versions of this and this goes to the top of my list. To the guy, Carlos Guzman, who didn't like the cadenza or ending, that is, as you may know, the ORIGINAL cadenza, and for the ending to be timed right, like an operatic aria, is very rare and he did it!

This is so wonderful. Thanks

Quel synergie folle entre vous tous, géniale :D

Amazing!! But I didn't like the cadenza and the ending.

Periodically I return to this video to be sure it's real. Remarkable interpretation. Remarkable performances. Remarkable cinematography. A real tearjearker. Pound for pound, this may be the finest thing The Knights have ever recorded for posterity.

Fantastic virtuostic playing all round! Congratulations! This was one of your tour pieces, right? The crowd must have went wild.

Ray Chen and the Knights in Bremen yesterday! Speachless!! Unforgettable!! Gives back some hope!! Thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏

I love this so much.

idolaku! Matur suksma

I’ll see this orchestra in a few days in Hamburg. Can’t wait!

This is really fabulous!

👍👍👍

Beautiful on al levels. Is this set at the Gardner Museum Boston?

I always have moist eyes when I hear BC3. I needed tissues this time

Fantastic.

Wow, this is how Bach should be played. Thank you.

This is INCREDIBLE!!!

the Music of American Tune is not by Paul Simon. It's by Johan Sebastian Bach (BWV 244 "Matthaus Passion"). Anyway Paul Simon is an act genius.

Es ist solch eine große Freude, dieses Stück zu hören. Mit so viel Elan und Kunst! Vielen Dank! Hätte diese Truppe damals im 17. Jahrhundert auf einem öffentlichen Platz gespielt, die Menschen wären außer sich gewesen, hätten gejubelt, den Himmel gepriesen und hinterher davon erzählt, soviel Glück erlebt zu haben, wie es beinahe nicht vorstellbar ist. Auch wir aus dem 21. Jahrundert sind glücklich und freuen uns.

The fabulous String & Harpsichord Chamber Orchestra, The Knights, perform J.S. Bach's 3rd Brandenburg Concerto with Paul Simon's "American Tune" seamlessly included. Hats off to the arranger, Colin Jacobsen, and the singer, Knight violinist, Christina Courtin!

Soberbia interpretación plena de entusiasmo y de alegría . Bravo!!

Simply amazing recording quality.. and of course extraordinary performance.

I love all of the Brandenburg Concerti, and the Third is the most fun and uplifting of the bunch. It was fun to watch how much these accomplished musicians enjoyed performing this piece.

Great!! Amercan's Tune returning to Bach. Virtual loop. Thank you very much for sharing!!

I stop on Shaham cause he seems like such a good guy. I stay for his remarkable clarity and what seems to me a very deep connection with whatever he’s playing!

OMG -- the sheerest genius. Superb music insight . . . deeply moving.

Un grande! Fantastico, meraviglioso. Guardandolo suonare, sembra che il violino sia lo strumento più facile di questo mondo...

What stunning performance!! As an amateur violinist I know and can play all the Brandenburg's by heart, Nos 2 & 3 being favourites by far. Bach's Concerto No 3, 2nd movement is a bit special. It consists of only 2 notes in 2 bars. If you only play these 2 notes, it's like eating only plain white bread, which is no fun. Rather, every performer improvises this 2nd movement based on this theme. As a result, no two No. 3 2nd mvmt is ever alike. Each has their own take. That this performance employs Christina Courtin to sing Paul Simon's American Tune is a masterful and refreshing intermeshing of the classics and the modern. I'd say Bravo! Bravo!! Old Man Bach would have approved! Sehr gut und Ausgezeichnet!!!

Simon DID NOT borrow this tune from J.-S. Bach but from Hans Leo Hassler (1601). Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's. JSB did use it in his Mathaus Passion in some ten versions with various and exquisite SSTB four-part harmonies. And it was JSB who indeed definitely turned it into a worldwide hit. Note that Simon added a section of his own to Hassler's melody ("And I dreamed I was dyin'"). Technically speaking this is what musicians call a "bridge", but in this case it is no way over troubled water.

Christina: love this!! Kudos from your cousin-in-law.. Christina Corradino, Michael Stark's wife.😊

Brilliant!

Brandenburg Concerto wraps up the sorrow of the life, and soothes my soul
