[@saidtoshimaru1832]

When you think "it's impossible to write something as beautiful the Sinfonia" and then Bach hits you with the long alto aria "Wo zwei und drei versammelt sind"...

[@staffanolofsson8201]

So true!

[@Gregorius24]

I believe “Wo zwei und drei” may be one of the longest single movements Bach ever wrote.

Van Veldhoven's music is suave, smooth and unctuous, no matter what piece he interprets. He creates music that makes me drift like a dove gliding in high airs. I am then in a trance carried by the winds wherever they take me. Thank you NBS for making all videos free. This is not only a treat, but true medication as well.

[@marvinfalk5959]

I couldn't agree with you more. Before the digital age I lived in an old century farm house. Our alarm clock was an analog Christmas lights timer rigged up to the Brandenburgs on the turntable. All spun through the resident rock band's stage sound system. Bach physically rumbling the floors. No grander way to jump out of bed.

The bassoon is wonderful in the duet!👏👏

[@staffanolofsson8201]

I completely agree, I was about to make a comment, but I didnt find the word "bassoon". In Sweden we call that instrument "fagott", but I was clever enough to understand that this word has another meaning in english (!). So now I have learned something. The word bassoon.

[@gavrinmahaffey3656]

@@staffanolofsson8201 I'm glad I could be of help 👍

[@DarrenBush]

Hej@@staffanolofsson8201, Everyone calls the bassoon fagott or some variant of it. It comes from the Italian word for "bundle of sticks" in Italian -- fagotto. The English took bassoon from a later French and Italian variant for "large bass," bassone, but the Italian word for bassoon is still fagotto. Very strange.

[@herrickinman9303]

@@DarrenBush The "bundle of sticks" meaning of _fagotto_ didn't come into general use until after that term was already being applied to the bassoon. Both the bassoon and its predecessor the dulcian are known in Italy as _fagotto,_ but neither instrument is made from, or even resembles, a bundle of sticks. In fact, the dulcian is carved from a single block of wood. The word _bassoon_ is related to the French _basson_ and the Italian _bassone._

[@DarrenBush]

@@herrickinman9303 Thanks for the education. I speak Italian but I had no idea the fagotto came later. Bassone makes sense.

If you listen carefully to the individual voices combining during the final chorale (ca 28:18), its beauty will break your heart!

[@YodoJakamodo]

I can't stop listening to the final choral. It fills me with such peace and tranquility, and it is tonally so beautiful. It feels Bach is deliberately using archaic compositional techniques that predate him at least by a hundred years such as the figuration in the final "Amen" cadence -- what a joy and exactly what I would want from a 'dona nobis pacem' (which this is the German version of).

[@nelsonwhaley6348]

Beyond superb..I do believe that this group of musicians are the best I have ever heard, dare I say, comparable to/but different to the Simon Preston/Trevor Pinnock recordings of the 80's/90's. I love the relaxed feeling and naturally flowing musicality exuded by the conductor and performers..no power play controls which one finds displayed by certain contemporary English conductors! which get in the way of the listener's enjoyment.

[@andrewtannenbaum1]

While NBS is always superb, Concentus Musicus Wien recording of this work remains my personal favorite. I think it's their distinct concerto grosso approach of the sinfonia; also exhibited by the NBS - but I am prejudiced by an early obsession with CMW's recorded performance. This aspect is enhanced by the camerawork in the respective videos, as well. The sinfonia seems like the gathering of the twelve in one room, with their diverse personalities, entering into intense conversation over the most momentous event in history.
