To my ears Münchinger had a rare gift for getting JS Bach tempos spot on. Many thanks for this excellent recording of a wonderful performance.

THANK YOU!!!!....

[@fransmeersman2334]

Marvelous performance of this wonderful music, very accessible. I had the same very fine experience with J.S.Bach's Musical Offering with Karl Munchener. Many thanks !

[@fransmeersman2334]

Sorry "Karl Munchinger" ! A version I always come back to.

[@DressedForDrowning]

this music is so wonderful.

My version, despite all those fanatics of historicism!

[@vladimirorivas7020]

Mine, too!

[@FertChervu]

It's not historicism, but simply truth. That Choral Prelude has no place there.

[@Divergent_Integral]

@@FertChervu Apparently Bach's heirs disagreed with you; they thought it a worthy recompense to the prospective buyers for the unfinished fugue. Personally, I think this fact alone indicates it must have held some special significance in the context of the Art of Fugue's journey to the printing press. Because if the chorale prelude hadn't had anything to do with the AoF, it would have been far more logical to substitute any of Bach's many "learned" fugues.

[@FertChervu]

@@Divergent_Integral The fact of being Bach's heirs does not mean they're always right in everything. Especially C.P.E., who is well-known for his attempts to build a myth about his father. The only significance and "recompense" of the Choral Prelude is being Bach's last composition, written down by dictation if you want to believe in C.P.E.'s statements. That Bach heirs' "thought" seems to be a sort of consolation to themselves after their father's passing.

[@robertomucciorganista]

COMPLETAMENTE d'accordo!!🤝🤝

[@daniel-paulbilis1671]

Triple rencontre au sommet des sommets : Bach tardif avec le couronnement de son œuvre , même chose pour Munchinger qui a parfait son interprétation jusqu'à ses derniers jours , tout cela en "présence" de ce prodigieux Rétable riche en beauté artistique et profondeur théologique . Bach , dont les Contrepoints de plus en plus complexes a boutissent au silence de l'inachévement , et qui signait toutes ses œuvres "Soli Deo Gloria" ( à la gloire du Dieu unique ), se met face au Rétable auChrist ensanglanté et en adoration extatique murmure en musique : Tu es le plus beau des enfants de l'homme (Ps 44) Munchinger , d'une beauté à la Gérard Philippe qui faisait dire à Gavoty : Comment lui résister ? , conserve rigueur et grâce inégalée , se souvenant que...."La beauté sauvera le monde". Merci pour ce concert de l'oreille , de l'œil et du cœur .

[@richarddinizza8252]

Ces concerts Münchinger du Festival de Colmar restent à jamais gravés dans mon coeur

[@pierremosniersociete3151]

Monsieur, votre réponse est absolument superbe ! En quelques lignes vous avez tout dit, tout expliqué . Merci à vous. c'est agréable des gens comme vous . Pierre Mosnier

[@grahamfleming6601]

Wonderful performance from a very young William Stewart. I have the great pleasure in accompanying William nowadays, and just to let folks know ,that he only uses that handkerchief for his other passion of Morris Dancing, which he dose every Sunday..........😂

[@hamjii]

Marvelous performance ! Wonder why this Wolfgang Graeser's amazing arrangement has not been performed more often. (Small technical detail : audio channel (L/R) seems to be reversed here)

[@andrewashdown3541]

You can get this recording on another KZbin channel with all the movements keyed

[@number6833]

La transcription pour Orchestre est une excellente idée, elle permet de mieux saisir le travail et les sentiments du Maître. Le clavecin au son aigrelet tend à rebuter l'auditeur, malgré la réalité du fait que c'est une œuvre pour "l'ancêtre" du piano. Le constat est que J. S. Bach est un compositeur moderne. La gloire du monde passe mais pas celle du Cantor d'Eisenach qui a consacré ses œuvres à Dieu

[@yaelpalombo4604]

😍👌👌🙏

[@sergiopetrocchi2485]

Chi sono i due esperti che dissentono da questa esecuzione? Sarebbe interessante conoscere il loro commento tecnico!

[@weiliu3623]

Check out 29:20 to 29:27. I wonder why.

[@francoisvigour220]

I prefer the extraordinary Karl Ristenpart version (orchestra, too)

[@Azor75013]

La bonne année est 1984 et non 1985 (cf. générique de fin).

[@andrewashdown3541]

Best there is - but why is this KZbin version incomplete?

[@wendelhubert2210]

Unfortunately, this is the complete film made by French television. I guess the film was not to exceed 60 minutes ... Munchinger always conducted the entire Art of Fugue.

[@andrewashdown3541]

@@wendelhubert2210 Yes I have the Double Decca CD - I particularly miss Contrapunctus 9 here - it's vital to the flow of the piece and to miss it is most unfortunate and very hard to understand

[@e21big]

still can't decide which one I should buy, his version or Sir Neville Marriner (mind the spelling)

[@CRITICNO]

Munchinger, but with Stuttgart

[@e21big]

Chris Phillips isn't he always with the Stuttgart - any way I ended up buy both of them ;D Really is hard choice

[@ilirllukaci5345]

On vhs and never remastered?

[@LDixon007]

We are sorry - you have reached the ending of music - there is no more. ~ You may go back home and feed your cats, and do the dishes...

[@Gabry2138]

True, no more, no further. The Omega.

[@number6833]

Impossible, the reverse mode has given up, we are stucked at the unfinished Contrapunctus !

nice, but there is no lick

WHO IS GRUNEWALD? And for the past...for the present...for the future...WHO IS JSB???
