If you consider to put the time table with labels (titles) in the description (not in de comment section) and start with 00:00 instead of 0:07 all the pieces will appear in the progressing red bar. Than listeners on a desktop can click on the progressing red bar to see the active track and by clicking that track with the mouse pointer all tracks will appear in the upper right corner as 'Chapters' and the active track will be marked blue around the edges.

Can we all just take a moment and appreciate the Bach Society for making this happen. 4 harpsichords in one place and all tuned at once! Not to mention the musicians to man them. We are fortunate to be alive in this time period.

[@zhouxinghan6986]

I remember back at the 70’s when they didn’t have enough harpsichords, so they had to get a neupert harpsichord in one of the recordings of this piece.

[@ww0yrr]

The original of this was written in Venice by Vivaldi for 4 VIOLINS and string orchestra. A few years later, Bach got hold of a copy of Vivaldi's Concerto for 4 violins & Orchesta and ARRANGED it so he (Bach) and three of his sons could play it, substituting HARSICHORDS for Violins. To do so he had to compose a lefthand part for each of the harpsichords. The Bachs played this Arrangement of Vivaldi's Cto at Zimmermann's Koffee Haus in Leipzig. Bach was the Director of Music for Leipzig for the four principal Lutheran Churches at the time. He moonlighted as Director of the Collegium Musicum (Friends of Music), a group that played weekly at Zimmermann's.

Listening to this arrangement, in such a private setting, was once reserved solely for kings and emperors; lords and ladies.

And now, 250 years later, it is for us commoners to admire and enjoy. What a world we live in.

The four harpsichord players are evenly performing and attentive to every note and section. The harmony between the string instruments and the harpsichords conveys the intensity of expression and emphasis on contrast and balance. The composition radiates finesse, dynamics and a beautiful lyrical melody. A big plus to the terrific camera engineers and the sound mix is perfect. The Netherlands Bach Society are always outstanding in its performances.

This is Bach's beautiful transcription of Vivaldi's 10th concerto in the L'Estro Armonico set, originally written for four violins, and it is a tribute by one great composer to another. Bach also transcribed the Vivaldi concerto Grosso for two violins and cello (L'Estro Armonico number 11) for the organ alone, which is an even more magnificent arrangement. These are my two favorite baroque concertos.

Just some thoughts, I've always enjoy listening to classic music, but KZbin seems to be compressing the audio bitrate in every videos to around 128kbps AAC or 160kbps OPUS. As many already knew, 128kbps or 160kbps aren't enough for detailed music. Though KZbin's video guideline suggests uploaded video should have the audio quality set to at least 512kbps (which is a pretty good audio quality, balancing between minor music details and the size of the audio), what we hear afterwards will still be restricted to 128kbps and 160kbps. To be honest, KZbin's audio quality is completely okay for most music. Their compressing technique is very good many wouldn't be able to distinguish it between lossless file, but not for classical music, as higher bitrate does makes differences. Each instrument sounds different, and higher bitrate allows us to distinguish them and thus also makes each music piece be unique from each other. It will be better if Netherlands Bach Society can simultaneously upload their original recorded audio file to some places such as SoundCloud etc which accept lossless audio files such as .flac. Please don't start a war below please. This is just my grumble when listening to good music.

This piece, alongside many more including a piece composed by one the harpsichordists playing in these concerts: Fugue in E for four harpsichords was performed! I was not one of the musicians performing in these events, however. I was one of MANY volunteers tasked with moving and shuttling these majestic instruments between the the performance venues and the homes of the people they belong to.

As I tried to say previously, Ameling sings perfectly on key. Her tone quality is superb, warm, & expressive. There is no better singer anywhere, especially of lieder-she leads the listener into a perfect world of lovely tone quality, intonation, expressiveness, text interpretation, fantastic understanding of the poet’s inspiration, she does not abuse her physiological assets- l believe her physical vocal cords should go with her into her older years without a wobble, without a slip in intonation. She projects a silvery vocal sheen that colors her legato singing (definitely superior to that of others with equal gifts & talent). Her tonal ease tend to promise she will not stress her physical assets, after all it’s the configuration of her vocal instrument that makes her a superior musician, & results in aural pleasure for her listeners.

Musician here. The reason these are called baroque setups is because the violins have so shoulder rests and or check rests.

[@niro9022]

Bach, em 1708, tornou-se organista da corte de Johann Ersnt. Não se estendo na explicação da família, eram bastante musicais e luteranos, até Bach educou o filho do príncipe. Também tinham uma orquestra dedicada a concertos italianos, incluindo Vivaldi. Príncipe Johann em 1713 visitou Amsterdã e gastou grandes quantias em partituras de peças publicadas na cidade, incluindo o L'estro Armonico de Vivaldi, publicado em 1711. Portanto, depois de voltar a Weimar, Bach teve acesso aos riquíssimos concertos do conjunto, incluindo RV 580 (1). (Infelizmente, perdi a fonte do que falarei agora) Caso os concertos não foram arranjados para teclado durante essa época, certamente aconteceu durante sua estadia em Leipzig, especificamente entre 1729-1739 no Café Zimmermann. Lá fora formado Collegium Musicum por Telemann, quando virou diretor da associação de estudantes e músicos profissionais, compôs e arranjou várias cantatas e concertos, assim conseguiu arranjar os trabalhos de Vivaldi com instrumentos necessários.

Beautiful concert that delights the soul! It makes us present something greater in our human nature. Thank you!

[@cmcull987]

I love their cohesion and the space they perform in.

Beautiful presentation of Bach

The part at 1:39 makes the violins sound like woodwinds! At least for the first few notes.

[@quickfoxxes]

Thank you very much indeed for posting this splendid performance for so many of us who are scattered throughout the world with restricted movement. Such fine musicians, and so many strings to keep tuned together, especially those four temperamental harpsichords!! These are truly happy sounds which are ushering in hopefully a truly Happy New Year! Bless each of you and those you love. Best regards from Tennessee USA.

I love the overhead cameras. It’s fun watching the melody being passed from keyboard to keyboard.

La interpretación de este concierto por este conjunto musical sigue siendo para mi una de las mejores versiones, De referencia

[@ceneblock]

I've never seen such art being made and I don't think I ever will get a chance to see this in real life. Thank you for sharing.

Спасибо оператору за очень выразителььную съемку!

[@millennial8441]

Amazing recording, wonderful perfomance. That is a great example of how to set up a professional gear in order to get a super high quality recording of baroque music. There are so many sound engineers whose simply destroy the audition of classical music by having a bad taste or even a severe lack of technique on recording a baroque orchestra.

5:27 isn’t this part amazing? I’m speechless…

[@alannah7078]

0:52 is just magical absolutely magical

😍omg yes

At 02:20 overwhelming feeling for the change of rythm to a very suprising salsa music-like syncopation . Not easy at all.

Absolutly brilliant! Truly great artists, all of them! Bravo, and Brava! How lucky we are to see and hear these great talents! Thank you, from Canada!

[@monicaashton]

That was really cool…wonder if Bach ever heard it played like this in his lifetime….

[@andreasheise894]

Yes, I know, it sounds kitschy, but it is my most certain feeling. a life without Bach´s music to me is not imaginable. To me it feels like phantastic architecture in the edges of Piranesi

[@Thingolfin]

Bach and Piranesi? Watch YoYo Mas Video: Inspired by Bach: The Sound of the carceri.

What a splendid and full of humour performance. Burst of joy! As well as music itself. Thank you very much!

[@therealrealludwigvanbeethoven]

I do not understand how this is humorous, but have a good day!

[@cathyleeziemba3508]

@@therealrealludwigvanbeethoven, maybe 'full of joy' was what she meant by humour

[@MiScusi69]

@@therealrealludwigvanbeethoven "humour" means "emotions" too (I think).
