Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 | Claudio Abbado & the Orchestra Mozart

[@faustdownunder]

JS Bach never claimed that the music he composed came from him - he said it came through him. His awareness was of a much higher nature.

[@brentdobson5264]

....Thankyou for this statement information I had'nt read or encountered it before that I remember . It's an interesting and vital point of thought .

[@gabbleratchet1890]

Do you have a citation for this? Bach always claimed that his music was soli deo Gloria - only for the glory of God - but I haven’t come across any statement by him that he was merely channeling God.

[@faustdownunder]

I read it somewhere in his Biography. I can check when I am home again. May take a while. Thanks

[@vaughangarrick]

That sparkling harpsichord entrance must surely be one of the most beautiful moments in keyboard history

[@ameliamendoza512]

Si a um céu o vemos a través de Bach

[@vlkp]

That flute has a magnificent tone-more focused than a baroque flute but just as rich and warm.

[@SilvioNobre]

Bach is the best that mankind has produced!

[@franciscowalker5104]

Thanks! I thought that ....later on in life I share his stardom with Mozart, Beethoven, now I think of Tchaikovsky-Rachmaninnof. but BACH is a colossal composer no question

[@beaupianiste3738]

So much Joy! esp. the Brandenburgs

With W.A. and L.V. tight on his heels!

[@e.man14]

@SilvioNobre oh yes

[@MuseEarlyMusic]

Perhaps the most joyful, balanced, nuanced performance of this work I've ever heard. Watching the ensemble members react to each other, move with each other and completely delight in playing together, is a pure joy. Bravi.

Insane. Even the flautist was transported.

[@gabbleratchet1890]

It is literally the birth of the modern keyboard concerto. As usual, all of music is in Bach.

[@marilenapetrella5285]

it is regarded as the first cadenza in the music history

[@todw5508]

I'd like to see him play Rhapsody in Blue on harpsichord. Would sound fantastic IMO.

[@peterflom6878]

The musicians all seem to be enjoying themselves and each other

[@Jesusandbible]

i love the emphasis on the flute, so often neglected in rendering this masterpiece. bravo

[@adelecatena5877]

[@BlossomedJewelsOfficial]

I’m 13 and I’m currently entering my 8th grade year in August. Back in 2022, it was my 6th grade year and Bach’s music really helped my through middle school and this is the best version of the Brandenburg concertos ❤❤❤❤❤

[@DWClassicalMusic]

We're glad you've been enjoying it. Keep it up :)

[@socraticgadfly]

Respectfully, check out Boston Baroque.

[@Enri45100]

The first movement always gives me the impression that the musicians HAVE to stop playing their parts to listen the mesmerising harpsichord's part. Like when people are dancing in a club and a person ( or couple) are dancing so incredibly well that everybody stops to watch them and they create a circle around the stars of the show.

[@timyurek9036]

that's true😂

[@dabedwards]

A very nice metaphor! It really is incredible solo, and one that makes me wish the harpsichord was capable of greater volume. I cheat and turn up the sound! It is an extraordinary sequence, getting more and more complex as it goes until it reaches the final triumphant bars. Friends of mine who like jazz are always blown away by it, and many soloists cannot resist swinging it --- and why not!

[@jimbo2629]

@@dabedwardsThe best recordings amplify the harpsichord parts. The keyboard action has to be perfect for this performance.

[@Caroline1261]

I would have given them a standing ovation. This was phenomenal!

[@renzocomin9871]

❤

[@journeymancellist9247]

This so so glorious immediately. And it goes on and on. Just glorious. Bach died in 1750. And yet he lives, and will forever.

[@MarcdeDiv]

I don't know all musicians. But Carmignola (violin), Brunello (Cello) and Ottavio Dantone are exceptional musicians and soloists.

[@artbugzrecords]

The Best keyboard solo ever!!!

[@MARTIN201199]

Being Trevor Pinnock the best performer of this solo

[@dabedwards]

All these Abbado Brandenburgs are quite magnficent. Superbly played, very well directed live video, but above all a superb sound recording, helped by the right acoustic. Many studio recordings fail to achieve this level of clarity and richness. The sound recording engineers we can't see deserve as much praise as the musicians we can see.

[@DWClassicalMusic]

We're glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@malcolmabram2957]

Also seem to thoroughly enjoy playing the music. I hate a dispassionate performance.

[@qquark99]

completely agree. I hear parts I have never heard before in other recordings

[@cadburries]

I like the bass line that starts at 2:46. Really nice cello sound :)

[@pacharaangkharuengrattana6298]

Indeed! This is one of the reasons I love basso continuo.

[@bloom_the_artist]

What I really like about this piece is how the Solo violin, the flute, and the harpsichord interact. They're the main characters, so to speak. I like how the violin and flute embellish eachother and sometimes call and respond. The harpsichord solo is also divind

[@chelseag4ytube]

I remember teaching myself this first allegro movement in fifth grade. I was ignited and inspired.

[@martagallo690]

[@luizeduardogoncalvesclemen2008]

This is the first time I listen to this harpsichord solo with such a pronounced and strategic pause as in 7:53. It sounds really good this way.

[@DWClassicalMusic]

👍

[@gaborkovacs]

what a rare gem of musical performance! that cadenza was so perfectly pronounced that I'm sure Bach's soul was floating around that hall listening with content... thx 4 sharing!

Al clavicembalo c’è un giovanissimo Ottavio Dantone che dimostra la sua bravura!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍

[@derwishrenegat743]

What a wonderful interpretation. I was waiting for the harpsichord solo like a piece of delicious dessert. Extremely! Golden performance!

[@dougsterling7958]

Bach invented the keyboard concerto, and this was his first.

[@WouterTukker]

05:55 ... This is the first concerto cadenza in the history of music, therewith certifiying the birth of a new genre introduced by the great JSB: the clavier concerto ... Until then, the cembalo had remained in the orchestral background as an instrument merely providing the "Basso Continuo" with some chords ... After this stroke of genius, Bach wrote many more Clavier concertos, especially intended for performance in "Café Zimmermann" in Leipzig, mostly with only one harpsichord but adding one, two and even three harpsichords as his sons (under his tuition of course) became accomplished players as well ...

[@Olga-yx7hb]

Timeless perfection! Memory eternal to Abbado!

[@notaire2]

Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieses perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit seidigem Ton der Solovioline und mildem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der Soloflöte sowie gut harmoniserten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der unvergleichliche Drigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Barockensemble in verschiedenen Tempi und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach wunderbar!

[@bobsteiner9209]

I've heard so many performances of this music, and this is the best, primarily because of Abbado's choice of tempos. But he is not inflexible; subtle variations in tempo and dynamics give this performance exceptional expressive power. Simply a delight.

[@HarpsichordHymnsTimRemington]

Beautiful, magnificent performance!! The musicians are the best. They play such difficult music with apparent ease and grace.

[@rosslewchuk9286]

Marvelous and energetic, but with warmth! The three soloists are all associates of Maestro Abbado, perhaps playing to honor him as their mentor and encourager.

[@rickyhils]

Re: Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. I have been a very long time fan of Pablo Casals and the Marlboro Festival Orchestra. Then came the wonderful Voices of Music videos. Now I have a new current fave with Claudio Abbado!

this is complete madness: to place someone in front of this orchestra for an BC by Bach. Abbado waves to the musicians and that's it. Totaller wahnsinn!

[@MonastraOperaSymphonyClassical]

Totally agree. It is one of those few times where the conductor is put in "poetic mode" ... or as a marketing strategy. A very strange thing that few people can understand.
