Bach - Violin Concerto in E major BWV 1042 - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society

[@late8641]

Honestly, after listening to Netherlands Bach Society's renditions of Bach's compositions, I can never go back to other recordings. Their interpretations are second to none.

[@johanngottliebgoldberg1055]

Agreed 100%! I've felt like that for quite some time already 😀

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

The Netherlands Bach Society interpretations are quite interesting cause they're based on the Original Manuscripts which are being rediscovered.

Yes... It seemed that in the interpretations known until now there could not be much more to say... and yet NBS does not stop surprising...

[@Reino_X]

It's just that they use modern gear, older interpretations didn't have such. But I agree, their performance is sublime.

[@desperateastro]

Sato. The master of the baroque violin. Viewers should be aware that the violin in baroque disposition is a very different instrument from the modern violin; it requires an entirely different technique. Instrumentalists have gradually improved their abilities on the baroque violin since the 1940s.

[@thepoliticalexperimentor5229]

The lightness and joy of Sato san and the other string players is delightful.

[@cyozdemir113]

I just love Mr. Sato's approach to these pieces as a soloist.. Sometimes aggressive sometimes very delicate.. I find it so accurate and touching. Thanks a lot, Netherlands Bach Society. Great performance as always. I'm literally waking up with you. Your performances are the first thing I hear when I wake up. Thanks a lot.

[@gauriblomeyer1835]

Musicians are chosen and gifted by the Divine, our Mahashakti, before their birth with s special intuition key to enter her hidden world of music and what they hear there to put into notes for us. Music has got the only function to let us feel ecstasy , eine Glückseeligkeit which no word can ever express. Just observe how Indians go into their concerts and sit there for hours and come out in complete happiness. How come ? For us this kind of classical Indian music is beyond any understanding . That composers copied their music was once mentioned by late August Everding who mentioned that Mozart must have had copied most of his music from heaven because no human being is able to bring heavenly beautiful music from himself to us.

[@CBerryman57]

There are a lot of words of praise here, and rightly so. But the question is, why are these performances so good? Your comment of sometimes aggressive, sometimes delicate, touches on one aspect: dynamism, which I find wonderful in this performance. Without being heavy-handed, the dynamic range is handled beautifully, bringing out the details of the composition. I also like how the soloist is not always in the forefront, but the focus is on the ensemble at appropriate times. I especially like Sato’s sometimes forceful and flowing, playing and sometimes light and staccato touch. And Such a full sound from so few musicians! Credit to the recording quality here. There are so many aspects to the sublimity of this ensemble in this recording. Like so many others, I am very grateful for the privilege of hearing the NBS.

[@josephhargrove4319]

I've never understood why so many commentators have branded the Concerto in E as somehow "lesser" than the concerti in a and d. The opening movement is intellectually brilliant and covers quite an emotional range. With the Andante, Bach gives us a movement so affecting it makes the very stones weep. And here it is most admirably performed by Shunske Sato. If "leave them wanting more" was Bach's goal with his three violin concerti, he succeeded. richard -- "Compared to Bach, we all suck." - Pat Metheney

[@proflight1538]

THe Bass Line throughout the second movement is pure magic

[@theMazdaManiac]

This may quite possibly be the best performance of this concerto that has been yet recorded.

[@MARTIN201199]

To me, only the third movement alone is better than other recordings that I know, the first two movements are just fine. That’s my view

[@zogzog1063]

I must have 20 recordings and this is top shelf. Actually the visual presentation is another enhancement.

[@delrenatoaltoe]

Bach may not have composed many concerts, but the few he wrote are pure gold.

[@Reino_X]

Not true actually, he wrote many concerts. I saw somewhere that most of his work was lost and was never found.

Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieses perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit seidigem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der technisch fehlerlosen Solovioline sowie gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Originalinstrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt echt schön und auch lyrisch. Der intelligente und geniale Soloviolinist/Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Barockensemble in verschiedenen Tempi und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Wundervoll vom Anfang bis zum Ende!

Sato is undeniably one of the world's great violinists. He is the best I have ever heard on the baroque violin (gut strings and baroque bow). But it is sad that fantastic instrumental soloists who specialise in baroque music seem to be less famous than the notable soloists who play the romantic repertoire. But give me Bach over Brahms if I want to have a calm happy day!

My favorite Bach concerto , the second movement is just heavenly, thank you Bach for composing , and thank you Vivaldi for inspiring him

[@herrickinman9303]

Italian string concertos were all the rage throughout Germany in the early 18th c. All German composers of Bach's time were influenced by the Italian string concerto. And Bach's keyboard arrangements of string concertos by Vivaldi (and other Italians) were commissioned works, not homages to Vivaldi. At the time Bach composed these arrangements, keyboard arrangements of Italian string concertos were popular, and Bach was far from the only composer to make such arrangements. E.g., Bach's cousin in Weimar, J. Walther, was also composing keyboard arrangements of Italian string concertos around the same time as Bach.

[@alaaobaid3363]

@@herrickinman9303 In the Brandenberg concertos specifically, Bach used Vivaldi's ritornello technique and he interpreted more than 9 Vivaldi l'estro armonico concertos with great respect , Vivaldi's influence on Bach is so great that Johann Forkell said that Vivaldi taught Bach how think musically

A very good point! I am astonished at the sound quality of this (and the Abbado Brandenburg concertos) which seems superior to most versions I have heard in past years, and which were usually recorded in a sound studio, where nobody had to worry about recording pictures as well!

A stunning performance of this powerful and beautiful concerto. The slightly gentler pace in the first movement really lets it bowl along. This movement reminds me of a phrase I saw in a victorian scientific paper; "A cubic mile of sunshine." In the awe-inspiring slow movement, also at the end of the E major interlude mentioned below, the point (10:45) where the ground returns is just unbearable. Fate knocking at the door (I know that belongs somewhere else!) I've loved this concerto all my life. Will it ever be understood, how Bach did what he did.

No! The more I listen the less I understand and the better it gets. His genius increases for me always. This performance also helps! The return of the ground is awe- inspiring; one of the most beautiful moments in all music for me.
