I am from a very poor family in Brazil and the only contact with classical music was with one uncle loving Beethoven and only listen it. But in 1985 I came to live in Sweden and I discovered J.S.BACH and I found me in paradise. I can listen Bach from morning to night 365 days by year.And every time I listen one piece I discover new facets because his music is so complete. Some pieces set me in total transes. Wonderful.

I had just bought a new boom box portable stereo and on impulse I bought some tapes. Bach is my favourite composer and Brandenburg is my #1 music. On my bucket list is to learn to play an instrument, a woodwind, specifically the recorder, and learn to play some of these Bach masterpieces.

[@davidgunn3947]

up until I was 13 (am now 71) I loved the pop music of the day, then my father took me to hear Handel's Messiah and from that moment on it has only been classical and religious music. it was the only gift he gave me but it has proved to have been worth more than all the gold and silver in the world

[@jinnymudlark1815]

For me, it was my Mum taking me to see Madame Butterfly at the Empire in Liverpool - also, when I was 13 (and I am 72 - well next (soon) birthday!). It was beyond gold and silver for what it brought me to. I came across Bach very late, but I believe that it was always going to happen, after becoming familiar with orchestral classical music by degrees. Thank you to my Mum.

[@geezermann7865]

David Gunn - Thank you for sharing that. I just turned 68 yesterday. I was exposed to classical music when my grade school class went on a field trip to hear Leonard Bernstein. In junior high and high school I played in the band and orchestra, but we generally did not play classics, we played the musicals and current pop music, and band music for marching band. However, I did not get a proper education in composing, even though I had a passion for music. I was late getting into the "pop" music, but when I did around 1972, I was hijacked by that hard rock and metal, things that are now called "classic" rock. I left that behind many years ago and turned to ambient and electronic music, ( space music ). I came here today to listen to Bach, because I am also listening to an Audible Books title about the Great Composers. Mr. Gunn, I do hope you are doing well, and by the way, my name is also David.

[@johnstuercke3438]

The Brandenburg Concertos were the forever poor JS Bach's applications for work to a musical minded Prince who couldn't read music, so he shrugged and forgot about them. The music required more musicians than he employed, and therefore he never knew greatness was in his presence. He filled the Concertos into a desk drawer. And there they sat buried for over 100 years, when the never played Brandenburg Concertos were discovered. Felix Mendelssohn championed a rediscovery of the music of JS Bach, forgetting about his own. There was so much of Bach's great music for people to hear. Greater than he. Thank you, Felix. Love your Midsummer Night's Dream.

[@howardcoles3537]

John Stuerke. Thank you for your interesting and informative comment. Sad that the Brandenburg Concertos were not performed in Bach's own time. Not for the Prince who failed to recognise Bach's genius, but the consequence of that Prince's rejection was that Bach's contemporaries never had the chance to hear and enjoy this marvellous music. And what a great service Felix Mendelsson rendered to mankind by championing a rediscovery of Bach's music.

Mendelssohn kicked off the Bach renaissance in 1829 with his two performances in Leipzig and Berlin which reportedly caused tumultuous scenes. It was a revelation. Afterwards Mendelssohn, Schumann and Brahms regularly met to study and play Bach in private. Mendelssohn's statue is opposite to that of Bach on Leipzig market square. He is still standing there keeping an eye on Bach. The world owes a lot to him!💖

[@milesfarrimond2445]

Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to return to Bach's time and present the maestro with a recording of these works specifically this recording, especially knowing that he never had the opportunity to hear them performed ....clearly his workload and circumstances did not sadly permit this during his relatively long and prodigious life....entirely a flight of fancy of course as time travel is not possible...at least according to Herr Einstein and contemporary scientific wisdom .. .but I had a very precious birthday gift of these works on my 14 th birthday, a gift that has given me life long pleasure (I'm 62 now btw)... I wonder what he would make of them and the knowledge that some 400 yrs or so later they are so well loved and appreciated the world over ? 🙂

Also, you can use reasoning and work off the comparisons/discoveries of others to find out that the Book of Mormon is a sham. Here's a genuine tip: stop following a cult and being an ideologue and instead start thinking for yourself. The Bible verse you are referring to talks about asking for wisdom, which is ironic in that anyone with a drop of wisdom will see Mormonism as another cult whose beliefs are completely detached from the teachings of the Bible. Romans 10:9 tells someone how they can be saved; guess what? Being a mormon isn't in there or anywhere else in the Bible.

[@discerenecessa9062]

You're so right! That's what is so special to Bach. Mozart and particularly Beethoven might excel at music that expresses the soaring highs and crushing lows of the human condition, music that moves like none other but might lack grounding. In Bach, however, you can sense that he was very religious and that the continuity and stability his faith presumably provided him with has thoroughly transpired into his music. His music in turn is providing the listener with these balancing qualities. In being hardly ever overwhelmingly passionate it takes away those highs and lows that one might get from hearing other composers. And in doing so it makes us feel safe and overall just happy without making us ecstatic. A great cure for our stressed out human souls. ❤‍🩹

I think that the Brandenburg Concertos are the epitome of the Baroque style. They're elegant, yet logical, enjoyable, yet intellectual. I personally wouldn't describe them as "concertos", because as we know the form today, they don't particularly fit it. Despite having some soloists (notice how I used the plural), it can't be compared to that of, say, Mozart's piano concertos, or Vivaldi's violin concertos. I've listened to these works in full about 79 times now, and I thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. Considering that they lay gathering dust in an archive for over 100 years, their popularity has spiked incredibly. My favourites (plural again) would have to be nos. 3 and 5. The former is very interesting, not just because of its instantly recognisable opening movement, but because of the second one. It's extremely short, and is more of a cadenza than an individual movement, and it's quite fun to listen to different people's takes on it. In some recordings (usually the historically informed ones), they embellish it, adding (sometimes excessive) ornamentation, whereas earlier modern recordings play it how it was written: a series of changing chords and harmonies. The latter I just love because of the inclusion of the flute, by far one of my favourite instruments. The flute wasn't a very popular instrument in Germany during the 17th and 18th centuries, so Bach didn't use it very often, but when he did, he did it magnificently. The flute was primarily an Italian instrument, often used by, among others, Antonio Vivaldi. George Frideric Handel wrote a set of sonatas for flute (or recorder, this has been widely disputed) and basso continuo. As I just mentioned, the scoring of flute or recorder in these sonatas has been disputed for...a while. In the 18th century, a term was used - "flautino" - to represent the recorder in scores. But musicologists have stated that they've discovered that the piccolo - essentially a smaller, higher-pitched flute - would fit more into the name of "flautino". Anyway, we went from Bach to Vivaldi, to Handel, to recorders, and I'm just now realising how long this comment is.....

[@kyoseonlee7030]

I had heard this concerto in early 1960's when my mother was alive and my three brothers and a sister could tuck in their bed every night with unblemished pure dream.

Still coming here almost daily... :) That Adagio in the 6th Concerto... Good Lord, can anything be more perfect? Bach is the only human that mastered reaching the perfect universal formula in music, which you only see in nature itself. No wonder so many people describe his music as a mirror of natural processes, of the universe, they hear God / divinity in it, etc. I remember that movie "The day the earth stood still", starring Keanu Reeves, in which an alien super being came here to destroy humanity in order to save earth. And by coincidence he hears the first part of the Goldberg variations... which awakens the first doubts in his originally destructive plans. The guy who wrote the movie script - at some point in his life - obviously tasted from the immortal wisdom in Bach´s music. What a privilege to live in times & countries where we can listen to this incredible music.

[@johnbalfour8157]

The first piece of classical music I was exposed to was Beethoven's symphony no. 6 that my mother would play almost daily . After noticing that I preferred classical music to any other, my father bought me a CD of a selection of Bach's music. The first piece on it was the Chaconne performed by orchestra conducted by Stokowski. I remember the experience as almost religious in its pathos, and being incredibly moved to the point of shedding tears. From then on, despite my love for Beethoven and, later, Mozart, it was Bach alone that wrote the music that described the harmony of the universe for me.

On this version a string quartet performs a rendition of the iconic opening of the 1st movement...and then the electric guitar comes in(of course)! Those first 25 seconds just absolutely amazed me despite being so young. I would rewind to the beginning over and over! My dad was so fed up after 3 years that he finally got me a CD box set of Beethoven's Symphonies! It really was destined to be! Therefore I am forever indebted to Beethoven and his Symphony 6 is my absolute favorite piece, but I have become increasingly fond of Bach's music over the years. I wish you well.

Let's put them into context and we can be more amazed than ever! Pull any other composition created prior to 1720 and nothing comes even close in grandeur and skill, these are monuments of art! His concertos may have been received both with praise and resistance from some circles. The violin solos on #4 have no precedent, and #5 may be considered the first true keyboard concerto. I am so glad these 6 jewels survived oblivion!

One day back around just past the mid 1980's I walked into a public library, saw a section of CD's and music booths to play them in. I decided to randomly pick a classical disk to see what it sounded like since I had not experienced the newest technology yet and wanted to add to my vast musical tastes of listening in rock, rap, new wave, folk, jazz and other. On went the headphones and I was blown away by the sound and clarity. I was extra blown away by this set of music the Brandenburg Concertos. What are the odds of picking this set out of the dozens and dozens of disks they had at the time? Just the odds of seeing this section of music in a back corner of the library which by the way is a pretty big library, I'd say it was meant to be. I had not gone there particularly to listen to music, but it hooked me further into classical music and I see this particular set as somewhat way ahead of it's time. Another moment, period of someone who pushed the boundaries in another artistic genre that furthered the human condition just a little more just hundreds of years ago. This is what art is, this is what it does and I am grateful to have come across it some 35 years ago that day in the library.

[@iritisband1]

As far as I'm concerned, the best music ever written, it was always playing in the house when I was kid, even though we were poor in SC. It also represented to my family the desire to elevate our economic class, which we finally did as my dad got a Ph.D. and became a professor when I was a teenager. My sister and I followed his example. I finally got the opportunity to see the BSO perform this with the full orchestra a few years ago and afterwards happen to meet two of the violinists in a bar next to the Meyerhoff. The guy violinist was trying hard to woo the lady violinist, with no luck. It was kind of surreal to realize this magnificent piece is played by normal humans (even if they are talented).

[@jayakumarkaarikuzhy4713]

In 1990 I had purchased a CD set on Brandenburg concertos. I like the concertos very much and naturallly Bach became my favorite composer (along, equally, with other two - Mozart and Beethoven). I like the the current rendition but it is slightly different from the recording in my CD, which was slightly slow and hence more beautiful . I am not an expert in music to distinguish between the two. Does distinction matter when both relate to my favoured maestro?Yes, he is still enjoying my favour as my favorite composer. Gracias great maestro!

[@ezekielbrockmann114]

This is quite possibly the most amazing recording you will ever hear. These are all authentic 'period instruments' expertly performed by the world's most skilled, delicate, and courageous musician-technicians, playing the most demanding, divine compositions as if they were as easy as riding a bicycle, mic'ed, mixed and mastered by studio engineers of the highest artistic integrity.

[@InsightAndEnergy]

HughFromAlice Yes, agreed, nothing extra is added in this performance -- just appreciation for the dialogue in the music. For this category of Bach's music, the non-intrusive nature is part of the profundity (if I may). I believe this was intended either as background music for court gatherings, or possibly for "light" listening. Let's just say, the BEST of light listening.

[@Cr8Tron]

+PlanetThoughts 1 of 2: This dialogue, between you and HughFromAlice, has me asking myself if this confirms what I was already suspicious about; there's always been this inherent stuffiness that seems to be present in any music made during such colonial times, as if the artists within the composers from that period were all confined; confined from expressing something beyond a passing muse that merely complimented the oppressive royal structures already in place back then. If that's the case, it's a shame, really. There is SO much craft involved in this music, to the extent that it deserves to be delivered under only the most integral of artistic intentions. (Not as mere "background music".)

[@Cr8Tron]

+PlanetThoughts 2 of 2: That's why I like some early-'70s prog; while it adopted the rebelliousness inherent to "rock & roll", it reflected musicians' interest in taking the next step, and properly utilizing such fine crafts. Even if they weren't always up to par with Bach per se, they at least had the right idea. Then the corporates took over, and we were back to separating artistic integrity (punk rock, new wave, etc.) from well-crafted music (orchestral, jazz, etc.)
