Bach - Air from Orchestral Suite no. 3 in D major BWV 1068 | Netherlands Bach Society

As conductor and harpsichordist Lars Ulrik Mortensen puts it, this Air from Orchestral Suite no. 3 in D major, performed here by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, describes a beauty we don't see anymore.

I think this is the best version. The harpsichord melody is so beautiful. In most recordings it can hardly be heard, if at all.

Ich möchte diese Interpretation von Bachs Air zum Anlass nehmen um zu sagen, dass alle Bach Interpretationen der Netherlands Bach Society erstklassig und in ihrer Art unverwechselbar sind. Hervorragend.

I am Brazilian and I really appreciate Baroque music, especially Bach's músic. And this is a beautiful and masterful interpretation.

[tbc]

I don't have words. Always beautiful and exciting masterclass. I love baroque music. Congratulations.

First heard this song when the movie Seven was released and I kid you not this song, and that moment, got me into classical music!

[eva-mariahiltrop]

I have not heard this piece in a long time. Now at Christmas time it fits wonderfully for me.

[powerliftingcentaur]

So very worthy of this iconic piece. Bravo.

[HDougMatsuoka]

This is such an amazing piece, not only in its structural elegance, but in the feeling, the affect, the emotion it conveys. For a long time I don't know if that feeling was a warm greeting or a warm farewell. I think now, it is the remembrance of a most fond first hello during the final farewell. But then again, I have had some wine...

[tomrockhill]

I'm not a big Baroque guy but this piece, the Corelli concerto grosso(Christmas) and the Vivaldi Winter never get old.

[Citizenof-world]

This music is of the highest order and even the presentation is perfect.. Isn't it?

[BadViola]

Harpsichord man looks so serene! I love this version. <3

[chrisgrennan]

Brilliant ! Performance. True and heartfelt, passionate. Because this piece is so well known/recognizable and because it is performed so often, it is often played in a perfunctory manor, or ‘walked through’ by the musicians. Thus performance is truly! Extraordinary. Just beautiful ❤🎼🎼🎼🎼

Our wedding march. So beautiful and it's been 14 years ago. Love is at its best.

[Tkieron]

I love this piece so much. It's such a beautiful melody.
But I'm laughing my ass off at the lady in green eyeshadow looking worried at the person to her right. Her eyes are screaming.

[thomassicard]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. God bless you all!!!! I crave this kind of authenticism, combined with impeccable direction and musicianship. The world is whole again.l

[roybrewer]

May be the best thing ever written. . .

[edgreidanus]

Just played beautifully as they do with all of the Bach's works

This Aria has been in use as main theme for a very popular Italian tv science show, "Quark", by late journalist Piero Angela. One of the best cultural shows ever broadcasted in Italy. I remember watching it with my family in the 90s. Amazing Aria, amazing version, amazing memories
