What would life be without music like this? A long walk in the desert without water I guess. This music gives us water, again and again.

[@michaelhanrahanmoore1622]

I agree with all my heart . ❤

The andante is simply sublime.

It is beautiful how the notes of each instrument come together for the same purpose: to cheer the heart, and, as Bach desired with all his music, to give glory to God. "Soli Deo Gloria." His music is a latent cry of the extraordinariness of the right focus on feelings; his good purpose led him to find the solution to great problems. Bach, without a doubt, is the best at expressing his feelings in the most sincere way. Why will Bach's music endure and has no rival? His decision to give the phrase: "The aim and final reason of all music should be none else but the glory of God and the recreation of the soul. Where this is not observed, there will be no music but only a devilish hubbub." Although it may sound strong, he has the authority to say it, being the man who wrote masterful works, one of the strongest arguments for all absence of faith. Bach is an example of perfection, diligence, and intelligence; but he struggled with many things as the sinful man that he was. His vocation encourages me to continue on my path of music and Christianity. Glory to God for Bach's music, and may it be an encouragement for us, whether we believe in God or not, to do what we love and believe with passion. Gary M.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Marten Root on traverso flute is unbelievable, he manages to bring a heavenly sound into his flute! Seldom have I heard a traverso played so good. BRAVO!

[@alejandrohp99]

Mtro. Root's tiny finger movements are just incredible.

[@curtvaughan2836]

The efficiency of Marten Root's technique is indeed amazing. The wonders of modern streaming and the internet allow me to observe close up the techniques and sounds of Root, Kuijken, and others of their caliber in ways not possible back in the 80's, when I was first exposed to period baroque performance by ensembles such as Musica Antiqua Koln in rare concerts. Thanks to Netherlands Bach Society for producing these great renditions of Bach.

Sense l'obra de Bach, la història del nostre planeta no gaudiria del que jo crec que és la perfecció. Més enllà de la immensitat, dels milions i milions d'anys llum, restarà la música per sempre la música del GENI... Sigui lloat per a SEMPRE. ❤

Bach will be Bach. Honor and Pleasure. Imperfecte uitvoering? Maakt niet uit, hoe beter. Bedankt.

[@korayimre9675]

My favorite sonata. Thank you very much. Expecting other sonatas too.

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Triosonate im veränderlichen Tempo mit mildem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der Querflöte, tiefem Ton der Gambe und schimmerndem Klang des Cembalos. Der dritte Satz klingt besonders schön und echt melodisch. Im Kontrast klingt der letzte Satz echt lebhaft und auch begeisternd. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den drei Virtuosen ist wahrlich ergreifend. Einfach wunderbar!

[@alejandrohp99]

There is so little movement when playing except for the occasional bending of the knees. It is always a meditative experience listening to his interpretation.

Man spielt leider die Flötenstücke von Bach nicht oft. 사람들이 안타깝게도 바흐 플루트 곡들을 자주 안 연주해.

[@DomFileoreum]

Ayo did NBS just drop

[@Frederer59]

Can anyone tell me what model of traverso Marten has chosen? Is it a Naust? Marten's strength is he's a dutiful servant to the music, not to himself. There's not a hint of showmanship; as clean and stoic as the room. ❤🇨🇦

[@baroquewinds]

It’s an Eichentopf, probably the “Eigentopf” model by Marten’s preferred maker Fridtjof Aurin

[@bach]

That's correct: the flute is an instrument after Eichentopf, an ivory original which is now part of the collection of the instrument museum in Leipzig. Since the builder (Fridtjof Aurin) had to make the necessary adjustments to this model (for example, the instrument is made of ebony instead of ivory), he calls this instrument not an 'Eichentopf' but an 'Eigentopf'

[@davidriggenbach6672]

I'd love to see a serious analysis of the first movement, it is so hard to make sense of the phrases, could it be possible the work originated as a duet?

[@bach]

Please find an explanation on the work on the AllofBach-website: www.bachvereniging.nl/en/bwv/bwv-1034 This kind of chamber works could be seen as duets between a solo instrument (i.c. traverso) and the continuo group (i.c. gamba and harpsichord)

[@χρηστοςκαραγιαμπας]

Bach the mathematician

[@DB-jj5gx]

Sorry to tell, but I have the strong impression that the balance between the instruments is about 2/3 basso continuo and 1/3 flute, which is barely audible at some points... At least balance it 50%-50%, and maybe even less for the bass, I still feel it is a sonata for flute, not a concerto! The traverso has such a mellow and "velvet-ey" texture that it is easily overwhelmed by the enthusiastic viola di gamba...

[@johannaklein8187]

I don’t agree with you, it makes this music so much more interesting as a dialogue. To me this is the best performance ever.

[@orlandonandez]

This is exactly the real balance of those instruments. In a palace room they must have been heard as they are heard here. The traverse is heard above the rest by its high frequency register. I have no problem listening to it clearly and as the main voice. On the other hand, the sound power of the baroque transverse is not comparable to the modern traverse flute. So everything is right here 😊

What kind of flute is that, anyone?

[@H1RAD0N]

This is the Flauto traverso, which was used during the Baroque period.

[@Raherin]

@@H1RAD0N Thank you! Love how it sounds

[@sharpjs]

Specifically, it looks like the "Eigentopf" model made by Fridtjof Aurin. I've seen Mr. Root playing one in another NBS video.

[@garrettcosgrave2791]

Looks deliberate

[@mantistoboggan2676]

It’s called a flattement and it’s a baroque ornamentation.

​@@anettesobottka9270Idk what are you talking about , I’m just sharing my opinion.

[@hanskok3862]

@@ElrondTheGreat Please share a link to the recording you consider better, because it must be great indeed. But I wonder that you call this version "very bad". Technically, it is in tune, from the highest to the lowest register and in the long tones as well, which is a challenge with traverso. The three musicians flow very well together, and the contrast between the various parts is well done. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance, more than some other interpretations that sometimes miss the freedom and flow that characterizes the best of the baroque.
