Bach:( Arr. Elgar ) Fantasy & Fugue BWV 537 - BBC / Slatkin***

CAUTION: Orchestral Fireworks !

[@therealrealludwigvanbeethoven]

This orchestration is absolutely fantastic; Elgar was truly a great genius and a master of the orchestra!

바흐의 음악은 그의 후대의 음악가들에게 무한한 영감을 주었음을 하나의 예를 들었습니다 바흐는 음악의 위대한 사도입니다

[@ultimesnotes]

Quina llibertat! Ves per on, el genial Elgar era un compositor autodidacte. Converteix aquella llunyana imaginació del gran Bach en un diàleg d'imatges cinematogràfiques, i oculta al màxim tota l'antiga retòrica escolàstica de la fuga. És el que jo volia sentir!! És una intervenció en la ment del músic de l'immens esperit universal!

Bach‘s music is universal, and forever

Notice that the second fugue theme at 6:54 is simply six ascending notes on the minor scale. This is actually a lookback by Bach to the pre-Baroque eras. It's a form called the hexachord, and was used in the late Medieval period, mostly in chant. What Bach does here is amazing, and might be the first time the hexachord form was used in a fugue.

[@fsharpminor2935]

One of my favourites to play on the organ. But Id never heard this, fantastic.

[@arcitejack]

Because it's utterly mind blowing

[@LuizBHMG]

Melhor gravação que conheço desta arrepiante versão orquestrada por Elgar! Bach também foi um dos pais do romantismo, esse tipo de adaptação deixa-nos ainda mais óbvio.

[@capitaonascimento4547]

Bach não foi um romantista

[@LuizBHMG]

@@capitaonascimento4547 definitivamente não, mas dá pra observar que a música que se desenvolveu no século XIX, especialmente, se inspirou muito em Bach...

Musik ist bekanntlich auch eine Frage des Geschmacks. Aber vergleicht man dieses Stück mit Bachs Musik, so kommt es schon ziemlich geschwollen daher. Mag sein dass es eben eine Kennzeichen der Romantik ist, aber Bach hatte diese Musik niemals aufgeführt. Zu bombastisch und zu dick aufgetragen. Aber ich möchte es nicht abgewertet sehen, nur einfach beschreiben.
