One of the few versions floating around on YouTube which I completely love 🧡
It swings, it breathes, it’s ‘see through’ enough for all the different parts to be heard- just beautiful.
Also the celli/basses 💙💜
Thanks for the bliss!

I appreciate the Vivace actually being played at a tempo that does not resemble slumber like almost every other recording I've ever heard.

[millriv]

Finally a slow movement tempo that is really Largo!

[jabezvanwyk]

Absolutely stunning. So refreshing with this apt, historical approach. Period instruments do make a huge difference in terms of the crisp Baroque sound. Well done on an exquisite performance of this amazing work! Bravo!!

[nerowolfe]

The aural equivalent of the difference between candles and LED's for lighting. Warm, rich, full vs. harsh, edgy, glaring. People say that, if Bach were working today, he would happily have used modern instruments. Well then, for my part, I'm glad he was working back in the Baroque!

[mdrakic]

Simply breathtaking. Among the, if not The, best performance I've heard 😍

[nawfalsalman]

Magical interpretation. The Freiburgers are always magnificent.

[LoveChristJesus]

Man, this is just just brilliant, great sound.

[annabarham]

This is brilliant! The difference between period and historically interpreted performances in terms of the instruments, is that what we call “period” instruments are actually instruments from the era itself. If you play on instruments that are modelled on period instruments or replicas, musicologically it’s better to call them historically interpretations of instruments, e.g. a 300-year-old cello vs a new replica of the former cello. I have a flute made of resin that’s modelled on the Baroque flute but it’s tuned to modern pitch.

Bach estaba ya tan metido en su genialidad que no podía ya escribir algo sin que fuera una obra maestra... me asombra como en el primer movimiento los dos violines tocan entre ellos haciendo una fuga a dos voces independientemente del acompañamiento orquestal y el bajo continuo.

[AdamShepard]

this is the most useful video on youtube for learning on guitar when you tend to be tuned to Eb !

[antonellamoles]

Veramente bellissimo!
Il 2° movimento incantevole 💐👏

[khool]

merveilleux, une interprétation sublime du concerto bwv 1043 merci

[CaradhrasAiguo]

The use of the lute setting on the continuo harpsichorrd in the Largo is a pleasant surprise to me!

[Ferb]

El mayor artista de todos los tiempos, el único y verdadero Dios... todos los calificativos no bastan para describir Su obra.

[AKLHWO]

Thank you for so much pleasure of Bach!

[yaboibobby]

Amazing!!! You have earned another subscriber. :D

[alessandrodellacorte]

Is this meant to be a philologically accurate rendering altogether? I love the tempo of the first movement, that's why I'm asking.

[eduardovarela]

¡ Oh ! con qué alcurnia de dorado brillo se establece este devenir en llamas dentro de mí. Es la gloria imperecedera de un dios hecho hombre. Y que regala el esfuerzo del genio creador para los parabienes del sujeto trascendental.

[annemarigold]

Third movement a bit rushed for my taste. Grew up on Menuhin and Ferras. Any ideas which recording I might enjoy best?
