It’s always lovely to listen both to the original concerto and this interpretation of the transcription. Bach made good choices for what to copy down, and as they say, Vivaldi taught him to “think musically”. I wish they had met.

[@juliak8093]

I listened to both, and still like Bach's arrangement more than the original. Everything Bach touches, turns to gold.

[@rykelkharg2903]

This magnificent work represents a tribute by Bach to Vivaldi. I am thrilled to hear this Bach transcription for organ of the Vivaldi Concerto Grosso for two violins and cello (L'estro Armonico number 11), because it is my favorite baroque concerto. It is clear that Bach (the unquestioned master of baroque music) greatly admired the Vivaldi concertos whose printed versions he was privileged to have access to, as evidenced by the fact that he studied them carefully and transcribed several of them for other instruments and instrumental ensembles, including this one.

[@alindmay]

Young Bach in Weimar. Vivaldi was so popular, kind of a rockstar of his time. Maybe this was a way to attract attention on his masterful organ playing

[@pianoguyswe]

Van Doeselaar's interpretation of this concerto is masterful. Absolutely flawless and with amazing energy. Thank you!

[@passacaillec1450]

I am absolutely ecstatic to find that Bach made an arrangement for my favorite Vivaldi concerto!

[@davebarclay4429]

Bach made organ arrangements of three concertos by Vivaldi. His cousin Johann Gottfried Walther was also a master arranger and transcribed another Vivaldi concerto for organ along with several concertos by other composers including Telemann and Albinoni. To confuse things further Walther was the teacher of a young aristocrat, Prince Johann Ernst of Saxe-Weimar, who was a capable composer and Bach made organ arrangements of one of his concertos and a fragment of another.

[@class87srule]

Bach admired Vivaldi as a fellow professional; the transcriptions are an elegant tribute.

[@steverodak2230]

The music and its performance is a treasure.

[@antiv]

Spectacular performance. The Largo in particular is out of this world... This is what being a musician is all about. He is inside the music.

[@nocturnallsnake4228]

This is one evidence I use when I say that Vivaldi, despise being or not one of my favourite composers, was a great one. If Sebastian Bach, who is considered by the musicologists the greatest composers of them all liked Vivaldi, which musicologist could disagree?

[@f.sarastre7491]

[@sanjosemike3137]

There is no historical indication that Bach and Vivaldi ever met. However, it is no secret that Bach adored Vivaldi's music and took it so seriously that Bach HAD to reconstitute it by making various arrangements of Vivaldi's works. Some musicologists assert that Bach actually LEARNED from Vivaldi's music and tried to make (his own music) more dramatic as a result of Vivaldi's ideas. What I am curious to know is HOW Bach was able to obtain the scores to so many of Vivaldi's works? I assume Bach had "musical connections" in various countries, and likely that included Italy. But publishing and dissemination of mail and music must have been MUCH more difficult than it is now...and not to mention expensive. But none of this stopped Bach from getting as much of Vivaldi's music as he could get. I assume Bach performed them too, but I don't know if there is any written record of these performances. I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in this issue. We know Bach adored Buxtehude's organ music. It's a pity that Buxtehude is not performed more. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)

[@bach]

A very interesting subject indeed. A lot of music from Italian composers (including Vivaldi) was published in Amsterdam. Via Prince Johann Ernst some of this music was brought to Weimar, where Bach transcribed it. Organist Reitze Smits explains this more in detail here: allofbach.com/en/bwv/bwv-593/#organist-reitze-smits

[@sanjosemike3137]

@@bach Thank you so much for this very interesting URL that helps EXPLAIN Bach's ability to obtain Vivaldi's music. Like any extremely accomplished musician of ANY time, Bach certainly would be expected to have a vast interest in what other composers were doing. Obviously the score was the only way to transmit this...or to actually GO to where it was being played. We can make a reasonable assumption that Bach looked as these scores as a Christmas gift and we can only imagine Bach's joy at opening up the scores and playing them in his mind...first and then on the organ and harpsichord. Yet, according to the discussion above, Bach tried to remain true to the scores. In THAT, we can see Bach's love of Vivaldi showing through. Bach could not "play" any recordings of those scores. His only way to share his love of Vivaldi was on the organ and making transcriptions, which he himself could play. One has a fantasy of what they would have said to each other had they actually met. I think that Bach would have loved to hear Vivaldi play the concertos himself on the violin. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)

[@CarlBowlby]

I do believe Bach met Buxtehude in that famous anecdote of him walking many miles north to meet the great Master. Don’t forget also that Bach’s cousin, Johann Gottfried Walther, was a very able-minded encyclopedist and not only wrote a history of organists and their music, but he also had a very large sheet music collection. Bach very likely might have gotten Vivaldi’s music from Walther. Bach also liked not just the Italian school of music but also the French, having copied Nicolas de Grigny’s “Livre d’orgue” (published in 1699,, but Bach got to it when it was republished in approx 1711) and this he also got from his cousin, Walther. I also agree that Buxtehude’s music should be performed by the Netherlands Bach Society, if for nothing else but for historical interest as Bach was very much taken in with Buxtehude’s “art”.

[@akumayoxiruma]

0:47 Haha, this register's name written on the right is called 'Vogelgeschrei' which translated to English means 'bird screams'.

[@generalackbar245]

Yes. These kind of stops are mainly from Renaissance era. - the "Vogelgeschrei" is also called "Rossignol" (nightingale) in french. It is generally constructed with 3 pipes partially dropped in a water tank. It produces a hissing sound that may resemble a bird song. You may hear it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5yxkoxrm7akqNE - the "Zimbelstern" is a small crown of bells. A rotating weight strikes them each in turn. - the "Storm" is an accessory imitating the thunder, by simultaneously making several low notes of the pedal speak. They have become very rare nowadays, I mean there are no more of these kind of stops in modern organs.

[@kfc575]

[@georgefelty6357]

This is Bach at its best and played superbly!

[@42aboo]

It's actually Vivaldi's concerto for two violins RV 565. Bach wrote an arrangement for his patron, the count of Saxe-Wimar, who brought sheet music during his one year trip from where it was published in Amsterdam. Bach however did a superb transposition by splitting the reply of the stretto on Cello and bass continuo on a second manual. He also exceptionally registered all the organ stop combinations which he usually left lose in his own music.
