Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 | Claudio Abbado & the Orchestra Mozart

[@fabricioventura7377]

The 3 is pure joy; the 1 is pure class, with all these horns. Its the sensation when you listen to one after the other.

Well said.

[@blindcanseemusic]

The horn trill at 10:04 is unbelievable. The trio with oboes and bassoon is perfection, and the polonaise is almost Handel. I think this is Bach uncharacteristically holding back a little, and is really amazing.

[@alfredohess6505]

I agree with the menuet and the polonaise. Bach admired Handel.

@@alfredohess6505 today they are both giants, and in my opinion, Bach the greater. But at the time, Handel must have had greater stature. Very interesting.

[@benvolman3709]

So lovely, calming and uplifting to the soul. I recall how so many years ago I brought home the old DG Archiv recordings with their dull grey covers. The movement for recreating original sounding versions of these classics was in its formative years. I felt like I was unwrapping something antique. But when I see these incredible musicians playing with such joy and grace, I understand that this was the experience they wanted to recreate. Thank you so much, especially Maestro Abbado, whose visionary heart for this music has made it such a gift for us all.

[@vincenzogonzini4227]

......J.S.Bach....summa humanitatis....🎼🎵🎶

[@WouterTukker]

Upon hearing this masterpiece of the great JSB, it just occurred to me that Bach is actually making delicate fun of the horns which play such an important role in the first of his marvelous Brandenburg Concertos: most of the time, both horns are finely playing in tune with the rest of the ensemble, however on numerous occasions they resume their primitive role as signalling instruments: only natural tones and in their own rhythm, meaning in triolas while the other intruments firmly stick to their 4/4-rhythm ... Until I heard this, I never believed Bach to have a great sense of humour, yet now I do ...

[@DWClassicalMusic]

Thanks for sharing these insights with our community!

[@timpence4850]

Bach had to compose for the wind instruments that existed at that time. Many of them were out of tune, yet he could imagine them playing in tune.

[@dabedwards]

What a sweet and nimble performance! Many have commented on the gorgeous horns, and of course these valved instruments were not invented until decades after his death. But if the Great Man returned from the dead, and was asked if he preferred to hear the instruments of his time in preference to these, what do you suppose he would have said? "Historically informed" performances are all very well but should not dominate!

[@GusMonastratenorOperaClassical]

I cannot understand why a conductor for this kind of orchestra. Marketing?

[@patrickbotti2357]

It is debatable and the debate has been going on for decades.... Should we perform that music with or without conductor? This applies not only to baroque music but to anything from the early music repertoire to the greater part of the orchestra repertoire... In this case, I think Brandenburg concertos 1,2 and 4 benefit from having a conductor. 3,5 and 6 can be done without. It all depends on the caliber of the musicians, the size of the orchestra and other factors such as knowledge, understanding and interpretation of Baroque music. If no conductor is present, one of the players will have to conduct while playing (usually the 1st violin or 1st viola (as is the case with the No 6). We need to remember that we judge and analyze baroque performances with our 21st century knowledge of Baroque music, music which we did not have in the early part of the 20th century. For the greater part of the 19th century, Baroque music was not performed as much as it is today. There was a renaissance of it around the end of the 19th century. Unfortunately, the scholarly research then was not what it is now and performances of baroque music were done with large orchestras with a romantic interpretation and understanding of that music. With new research and discoveries during the second half of the 20th century, we have come to understand better how the music was performed at the time, the nature and size of the instruments etc. When the Baroque instrument craze started in the mid to late 70s, it was in response to that romantic view of Baroque music. In the the 60s and 7s purists were screaming in horror when listening to recordings of HV Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic performing Bach concerti and suites with full size symphonic strings. I have myself LPs of them playing the Brandenburg concertos. The entire string section of the orchestra is playing (that is at least fifty musicians) not including additional winds and brass and of course amplified harpsichord. It is interesting listening to them.

[@GusMonastratenorOperaClassical]

What I notice here is nonsense: an ensemble masterfully playing Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, but "using" Claudio Abbado as conductor - with their hands and not from an instrument, which would be usual - something totally unnecessary and , clearly, is acting as a "cake doll" as a marketing "attraction hook." I don't know about you, but it makes me even ashamed to see him making a fool of himself by being "painted", doing a conduction figuration, when the orchestra clearly plays by itself. @@patrickbotti2357

Much too fast.

[@furdiebant]

Very fast indeed

[@patrickbotti2357]

It is very fast. Musicologists disagree on the right tempo for all of those concertos and indeed for a lot of the music of the Baroque period. Because of the construction, shape and characteristics of baroque violins, and shorter bows, forcing shorter and faster bowings, it is easier in some instances (as is the case with this concerto) to play faster and also softer. But there is fast and there is fast. In the same video recordings watch the 5th Brandenburg. The tempi are incredibily fast. I don't know how that amazing harpsichordist can manage to play that fast...
