Bach - Orchestral Suite no. 4 in D major BWV 1069 - Mortensen | Netherlands Bach Society

[@pmarq32]

For a long time, this has been the most difficult of the Bach Suites for me to digest, but this performance changed that, forcing me to entirely re-evaluate any recording or performance I'd heard before.

[@Ennah08]

Mortensen always brings enthusiasm to a performance!

[@paulbrower4265]

Here in America... here is where some of us turn when (I write this in the dreadful year 2020, and the less said of it the better or all concerned) when we need remind ourselves that there is more to life than fear, ugly politics, and self-pity Bach outlasts us all, and I would love to convince people that nobody ever outgrows Bach. 2020 will pass, and Bach will still be here. Did I forget to praise this lively performance and the musicians who make it all possible?

[@altruisticphilanthropic4647]

How Bach would love these musicians...I'm sure the bassoonist would be personally invited home to share in a Bachian supper...repeatedly. I'm also sure that he'd then have further delights written specifically for him...ponder that, if'n you dare. Full of joy, grandeur, and "perfect conversation" for sure, but Bach always gives insights into life's pains and anguish, also...he knew every emotion, and could speak to each eloquently, and purely. No other composer does that so well...every time...without fail. Mozart, Beethoven, and all that followed him knew this...their praises were not idle chat, written and spoken lightly...they were as dumbfounded as we. // NBS, never cease, please.

[@charlesnaylor1732]

Yes! Amen to all of those comments. And a huge thanks to the Netherlands Bach Society. To my ancient ears all I've heard so far ismagnificent ( from Charles in New Zealand

[@zurich5607]

If Bach doesn’t beat up the basson player that is...

[@altruisticphilanthropic4647]

@Richard Wilson Yep, that's one of the best of the many "wholly lovable Bach", anecdotes. Nanny goats are the only ones that don't laugh when they hear this story.

[@TA152H01]

Why would you presume to speak for someone with 100x your musical talent, who you know nothing about, and have no specific insight into his personality of who he liked? It's foolish, no one knows whether Bach would like how this is played, you can only comment on how you feel. And, you are not Bach.

A performance of pure joy!!! It is incomprehensible that one man could have written so much glorious music.

My favorite Bach Orchestral Suite! Beautiful performance. Thanks for posting. I think J.S. would be proud to know that musicians from all over the globe love, respect and perform his music 250 , almost 300 years later. It never gets boring. I only wish I had been born in Bach's time and had the privilege of singing in his choir at Thomaskirche in Leipzig.

[@redbrian3655]

Thank you for letting my ears hear this suite anew! I enjoy the tremendous enthusiasm with which this is played. God bless the bassoonist!

[@joselopes2293]

Music for angels and God. Bach was a fantastic compositor. Not only for the harmony as the sentiment and the feelings it provokes to those who hear his music.Viva Bach forever!!!

[@renatorubino1776]

Che missione meravigliosa avete avuto da Dio! Ogni volta che ascolto Bach interpretato da voi, anche i momenti più difficili della vita svaniscono e si vede in prospettiva, si tocca anche quasi con mano, la meravigliosa vocazione di noi tutti alla Comunione dei Santi... Perché la gioia della musica di Johann Sebastian è la gioia profondamente cristiana, è l'anticipo di quella lode che siamo tutti chiamati a vivere eternamente in Paradiso 🎼👼🙌💗🕊️. Rendo grazie a Dio per Johann Sebastian e per voi! Grazie, Grazie, Grazie! 🙏

No idea what you say but your picture brings a big smile on my face !

[@emilalbazi8691]

Bach was grumpy and serious, above all that he was extraordinary genius. He used his music in both church and the kings courts evenly and mixed them up, he did not care about what they say or criticise. He composed his gifted music , which is from ABOVE. RIP forever Herr Bach.

[@jr6200]

he may have been grumpy and serious, but above all he seemed to live in ecstasy

[@IndyRecords-Thor]

Bach, as here, often writes the most joyous and animated dance music of the 18th century, nothing grumpy about it

[@HumbleNewMusic]

Bassoon love all the way!! & the conductor is a total dancer 8:13 & that's a total compliment! Thanks NBS!! :-)

[@hanskok3862]

How is the conductor not missing notes? I cannot wrap my mind around the combination of directing such a piece and playing at the same time. But what a great performance overall. I think it sounds slimmer and much more refined in this reduced setting. They say you always like the first good rendition of a piece best, but I like this so much. Thanks again to the NBS and their incredible channel.

[@fabiomoura9532]

Wow! Wonderful!

[@gertmuller9936]

I enjoyed this a lot but I can't get around missing the trumpets and timpani in the beginning of the Ouverture. This D-major just is even more powerfull with them and if you expect them and they do not play it doesn't come close to the majestic entry with them 😢 And there are parts from the mid 18th century of different scribes that include timpani and trumpets, so I think it is not a farfetched thing. But that is my personal view. I respect the decision and performance and it was an interesting insight!

Trumpets are essential to giving it a backbone which is absent here; though this as it is is suberbly performed.

[@bach]

We decided to perform the original version and not the one with added trumpets and timpani from 1730: www.bachvereniging.nl/en/bwv/bwv-1068

[@rhalleballe]

Why do they play in C Major?

[@DangerRussDayZ6533]

They're not playing in C Major they're playing in D major. They're most likely playing it in a historical temperament, like well-temperament, instead of the modern temperament we're used to hearing.

Well played, but actually Mortensen could just have used his hands to play rather to conduct. Everything necessary could come from the first violinist, who is brilliant.

[@sevenelephants1666]

Have you listened to the interview with Mortensen about this piece? That surely makes it clear that the way it is played here is very much HIS way. Which is not at all to deny Shunske Sato's brilliance, both as soloist and as the Society's musical director and principal conductor - though in fact one of the many incidental charms of this performance is the way in which in the most civilized way he is content to be 'just the first violin'. (And in the rehearsal clips seemed as entertained as everyone else by Mortensen's 'intelligent and illuminating antics'. )
