I've just realised why Bach didn't write much orchestral music. In his day nobody could play it!! This is not easy but this ensemble just nail it. Wonderful musicianship, wonderful music. Surely, there has never been a better performance of this concerto ever. It wont be surpassed, I wish Bach could have heard it, something very special took place here.

What a dream team. This one recalls me the looong discussions I had with my grandpa. I was born in Bach, and more generally in ancient music. I come here to the source, when I leave, I am stronger. This is pure love.

[@captainyossarian388]

At the end I would have been standing, clapping, and hollering "Bravo!". Brilliant musicians playing a piece of art composed by a genius. Love the encore where they changed things up a bit.

[@timcunningham722]

Yes to both points. Michaela going to the smaller recorder and taking her part up the octave definitely helps the balance.

[@OrzoMondo]

I think that this is one of the best videos of KZbin. Cannot stop watching.

[@bd1845]

Massive respect to Reinhold Friedrich there. Playing the Brandenburg live then playing the 3rd movement again for the encore and sticking the last note up a fourth.. amazing

[@kaiblack4489]

Up a fourth, not an octave. Still amazing though

UNA DE LAS CUMBRES DE TODA LA HISTORIA DE LA MÚSICA. PARA MÍ, EL MEJOR DE LOS CONCIERTOS DE BRANDENBURGO

[@chuchin392]

A piece of art out of this world (literally)

[@ConradAskland]

Have been listening to many version of Bach's Brandenburgs on period instruments - and this is my favorite.

[@MA-naconitor]

This version is absolutely not on period instruments, and not at all in baroque pitch either

[@lwskiner]

Truly a great and balanced performance. I have never seen the long piccolo trumpet used before and Friedrich played it flawlessly. Quite buoyant and motivating.

[@SoaringTrumpet]

+Lance Skinner Friedrich's playing is masterful. He is certainly one of the best trumpet players in this age.

[@albertlilly]

Yamaha YTR-9910. Only made in 1982....very few left in existence, and the ones that are still around are prized for their perfection of design to play this very work.

[@lwskiner]

Interesting, the only other long piccolo I am familiar with is the one Bach put out decades ago and I heard it was a dog with fleas!!!

[@albertlilly]

Indeed, it was not great. This one is (on further investigation and conversations) a Schilke custom instrument which was never in production, but which Yamaha used as the basis for the YTR-9910. It is build as a shortened C version of the P6 long bell Schilke Bb/A piccolo, to be pitched in C. The big differences are a slightly shorter bell (which can on the 9910 be extended to play in A and Bb with separate bell extenders), and a straight, shorter leadpipe (the P6 has a curved leadpipe). The Bach long bell piccolos from the last period of Vincent's life were simply not great instruments. I know a few who swear by, but a far greater majority who swear at, them. The 196 they made as a shortened Selmer 59 copy was little better (but did have Bach valves), and the more modern 196 is a great horn, albeit a Stomvi in Bach labeling. Probably too much discussion for here, but it is cool to talk shop. Even cooler to hear this great performance.

[@owenpeter3]

Agreed, flawless trumpetting.

[@mr523592891]

Bach, make every instrument full of dignity

[@nicolassetnarsky8555]

[@Ssrghvcf]

I think 13:25 is an encore of the third movement. Michala Petri uses a sopranino recorder. And the trumpet goes up from the fifth to the tonic, for the final note. Other than that, sounds like the same music.

The tempo is a little fast for my taste, but then they have the technique to make it flawless and make it look easy.

I so admire these musicians. I always think how since childhood they have each of them spent hundreds, thousands of hours practising hard. And making sacrifices. While their school chums were out playing, they were indoors doing their scales and arpeggios and broken chords. Plus they had to have self-belief that if they persevered one day they would make it as professional musicians. God bless them!
