J. S. Bach: Konzert d-Moll BWV 1052 für Orgel ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Apkalna ∙ Minasi

[@lotrgirl275]

My grandfather passed a month before this brilliant concert was recorded. He used to be an organ restorateur, working for the company Kern in Strasbourg, France. He travelled all over the world - mostly in the 70s and 80s - to fix, install and build organs. Bach was his favourite. I take this as his eulogy. Farewell, I will forever miss you grandad. (1931-2020)

Qué orgullo más grande tener a ese abuelo. Qué especial debe ser un restaurados y constructor de órganos, un profesional que debe unir la materia y el espíritu, en realidad seres de otro planeta. Sus manos y su corazón quedaron en decenas de instrumentos que reparó y/o construyó. Enhorabuenas y bendiciones para ti y tu familia.

Bach not only wrote scores of magnificent music, but lived in such difficult times, when there were no standard in the tuning system and his music had to sound equally well on almost any instrument. You can play Bach on a saxophone in a jazz ensemble and it will be still a masterpiece.

I really enjoyed this concert and I enjoyed the relationship between organ and orchestra she played beautifully and she had great support from the director one thing I’d like to say is that nobody in the comments had a word to say about the harpsichord player not a full face and no acknowledgement that she was there too for me she was as much as good as the soloist on keeping with the tempo Thank you who ever you are

[@juanferestrada]

yes!!! she was great

[@jeanghika7653]

The harpsichord is only the B.C. (i.e. basso continuo). Nothing to speak about. As a student, I played it usque ad nausaeam. As a solist, I never touched it again: why sould I have done it? Any how, the girl plays terribly fast . Listen eventually some records of Georges Enesco playing or conducting (h-moll Messe!!) Bach.Het's authoritative.

Really? I just see talented, hardworking musicians. In general, the human race are scum. Do I really need to prove that?

[@historicwine1283]

@@jjaus Violence and terror are almost ubiquitous throughout the animal kingdom, and humans are, after all, just animals. The fact that humanity can't _instantaneously_ escape from this base condition, but must instead climb its way out _gradually_ over the course of millennia, is not evidence that our species is fundamentally corrupt in some special way. On the contrary, this lengthy and difficult process is to be expected, and that any kind of moral advancement has occurred _at all_ is remarkable in and of itself. It is irrational to judge the rate of human progress according to a fanciful standard of supernatural perfection.

[@jjaus]

@@historicwine1283 You are deluded. Humans have been around for more than 200,000 years in their current evolved condition. Just how many millennia do we need?

[@historicwine1283]

​@@jjaus Homo sapiens appeared roughly 200,000 years ago, but did not evolve the capacity for language until 100,000 years ago at most (although 75,000 years is probably closer to the mark). This is crucial because language--specifically, _human_ language--is the necessary condition that makes any kind of intraspecific cultural progress possible at all. So one _partial_ answer to your reply (which, incidentally, is not at all in conflict with my initial point) is that it took language-capable humans between 88,000 and 38,000 years to develop agriculture _from nothing,_ and then another 12,000 years to get to where we are now. In evolutionary terms, less than the blink of an eye. How long will it take, from here on out, for the species to attain a _satisfactory_ degree of civility? Nobody knows the answer to that, not only because social systems are probably far too complex to make such projections in general, but also because the rate of change, in this respect, reached an unpredictable level of rapidity in the last century.

Oh my God ! This masterpiece, "Bach's Harpsichord Concerto No 1 in D minor" was actually composed for Harpsichord, but in this incredible version we are able to hear an organ addition, and it doesn't sound like only an Harpsichord Concerto, but also sounds like an Organ & Harpsichord Concerto. Its the best classical composition adaptation and addition of a new instrument to a piece I've ever heard.

[@alemelvera]

OMG! IT IS ALSO SOUNDS LIKE AN ORGAN FUGUE !

[@MrMoguer]

It is hard to tell when and for which (solo) instruments Bach actually composed his concertos ...

[@lucym5163]

It's stunning - harpsichord, organ, strings - beautiful.

[@SPscorevideos]

The entire concerto was already meant by Bach to be played with an organ, in the Cantatas BWV 146 (mvt. 1&2) and BWV 188 (mvt. 3).

[@winfredluo6001]

[@DTM-Books]

I play this video everyday when my daughter (nearly 4) takes her afternoon nap. I’d like to think this music makes her brain smarter. I must confess that I know this music from an Atari computer game from 1984 called Stealth. Like most of the kids of my generation, videogames and cartoons were our first real education in classical music. Hah. I must also confess that when I watch this video, my attention is drawn to the violinist with the glasses in the background to the organist’s left. She reminds me of my college sweetheart, who has been living in my head for entire adult life and who I love and miss dearly, even though I haven’t seen her since the time of the OJ Bronco Chase. Such thoughts are likely to end with doctors putting me on heavy medication and fitting me for a straight jacket. Oh, well. It is what it is. Anyway, great video, thanks for allowing these to appear on KZbin Kids.

[@reflexivo3]

😐😣

[@susannestechow1009]

I think why she is looking so hard and strict is her concentration on her playing. If you make music and put your full concentration on the play of the music, you have no time to think about your looking, if you look nice or strict. I play the violin and I also sometimes look strict or angry during playing the instrument. Other people say to me sometimes , that I have looked strict or angry and that I could look nicer during the play. But I cannot take notice on my face look during the playing.
