Bach - Orchestral Suite no. 3 in D major BWV 1068 - Mortensen | Netherlands Bach Society

It is an anachronism to call this festive Suite no. 3 in D major, performed here by the Netherlands Bach Society conducted by Lars Ulrik Mortensen for All of Bach, 'orchestral'. There are no trumpets, timpani or even oboes in this performance, as Bach only added these instruments around 1730. Mortensen reduces the line up to a minimum and does not regret the loss of the timbre of the wind instruments in the least: with just strings left, the music sounds sleek and transparent.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on 15 October 2017 at Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

Hola

[@NareHarry]

Over 50 years ago I started playing the violin, and still do. For the last twenty years or so I've been a member of a baroque orchestra. Today, we started rehearsals for our spring concerts. This amazing Bach suite is part of the program. So I started my Saturday morning with this wonderful, wonderful music. Of course, it being the first rehearsal things weren't perfect but the sheer joy being able to play this is beyond words. For me, it simply doesn't get any better than this. I am convinced that if every single human was able to experience this incredible feeling, with your soul in perfect peace and harmony this world would be in a much better state.

[@trimishalalalala]

It's unbelievable how perfect this is! And we're able to listen to it as many times as we want. For FREE! Life can be so good.

[@pedroaleman4104]

I enjoy listening to this music. It brings peace to my soul. When I was a teenager I set my life goals, and sadly missed them, and one hurts the most. Not being the father I promise myself to be. As I continue to make ammends, there are moments of hurt and pain, and this music helps me heal.

Is it a little too emotional? The dynamics never stay still for more than one beat. Then all the sections sound the same and no contrast can be made between one section and another. Is this authentic style? All this gyrating does detract somewhat from the actual sound, I think. It is like a meal with too much seasoning.

When Bach added wind instruments later to his wonderful suite he enhanced it without doubt, but it is good to hear the original and in some ways, listening at home in a small room the quietness of the strings is a blessing.

[@larsulrikmortensen9990]

It has always been a well-known musicological fact that the wind parts to BWV1068 are a later addition (in CPE Bach's hand and written between 1734 and 1738) to JSB's string parts (not later than 1731). For more information on the state and chronology of sources as well as possible consequences for the choice of performance medium, see also - in addition to the Rampe / Sackmann-book mentioned by Hans-Jörg Rechtsteiner in another thread - Joshua Rifkin: Besetzung - Entstehung - Überlieferung: Bemerkungen zur Ouvertüre BWV 1068 in Bach Jahrbuch 1997, p.169-176.

[@LeandroNicolella]

Thanks for these informations :-)

[@HDougMatsuoka]

Thanks for this info. I’d always heard it with trumpets and temps and thought it was somewhat “un-Bach” sounding as the parts sounded rather superfluous. This version is wonderfully realized!

[@NicoloEugelmi001]

I never knew this. Thank you for the enlightenment, maestro.

[@reneblom2160]

This is an interesting performance of the BVW 1068 Ouverture. Thanks! When listening to this version, surprisingly enough the lack of wind instruments in the first movement doesn't bother me particularly. In the three "dance movements", however, the lack of trumpets and timpany becomes very clear, thus stripping those movements of all festiveness. An interesting experiment no doubt, but not my favorite version of the BWV 1068 Orchestral Suite.

[@herrickinman9303]

It was in the 1730s when Bach directed the Leipzig Collegium Musicum which gave weekly and biweekly concerts at Zimmermann's coffee house. The whole Bach family helped with copying music for performances of Bach's music. You will find parts in the hand CPE Bach, but that doesn't mean he composed it. Bach taught his sons the art of adding trumpet and timpani parts.

Gone perhaps is some of that "towards heaven" feeling which we associate with D major and trumpets and drums, and which so memorably colour parts of the B minor mass and the Christmas Oratorio. But in exchange, we a hear performance in which the dance element, and the connection to the French baroque is brought vividly to life!
