Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 | Claudio Abbado & the Orchestra Mozart
Музыка
Claudio Abbado and the Orchestra Mozart perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G major, BWV 1049, at the Teatro Municipale Valli in Reggio Emilia, Italy (2007).
This Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 has a very special line-up: principal violin (Giuliano Carmignola), two recorders (Michala Petri and Nikolaj Tarasov) and a string orchestra. Bach described the recorders as "Fiauti d'echo", or "echo flutes", although it’s not quite clear what he meant by that. The fourth of the Brandenburg concerts is the only work that uses "echo flutes" as far as we know today. The Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 was probably written in 1720 as one of the last or even the last of the six Brandenburg Concertos.
00:00 I. Allegro
07:11 II. Andante
10:54 III. Presto
The Brandenburg Concertos (BWV 1046-1051) by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750) are a collection of six instrumental works, which Bach dedicated to Christian Ludwig, Margrave of Brandenburg, in 1721. They are regarded as some of the best orchestral compositions of the Baroque era. The concerts were, however, likely composed between 1718 and 1721, for Bach’s Köthener Hofkappelle. Bach’s original title, Six Concerts with Various Instruments, describes exactly what is special about these concerts; the varied use of several instruments - with different strings, wind instruments, or solo harpsichord for the concertini.

The Orchestra Mozart was founded in 2004 to afford talented, young musicians the opportunity to play in a world-class orchestra, with world-class conductors. Claudio Abbado (1933-2014) is considered one of the greatest conductors of all time. In 2011, Classic Voice music magazine named Abbado the most important of the top 100 living conductors. He was born into a family of musicians in Milan, Italy, on June 26, 1933. Following his study of conducting, piano, and composition at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan, he furthered his education at the Vienna Music Academy. In 1968, Abbado became head conductor of the Milan Scala. In the subsequent years, he could be seen on the world’s great concert stages; in Milan, London, and Chicago. Following his 1984 debut at the Vienna State Opera, he became the city’s general music director. In October of 1989, the members of the Berlin Philharmonic elected him artistic director, succeeding Herbert von Karajan. He remained in Berlin until 2002. Abbado died in Bologna on January 20, 2014, aged 80, following a long battle with cancer.

The third movement in particular is a testament to the order and beauty of all of God's creation and the creativity of His own creation, J.S. Bach.

The first movement of of Brandenburg 4 is just so heavenly, absolutely the work of a genius. Great performance here.
The Brandenburg Concertos are some of my favorite pieces of all time. The fifth one is my favorite.
The clarity of the recorded sound is greater than in almost any version I've heard so far. And I've heard a lot! Kudos to the engineers....
Allegro, as in my heart when I first heard his intro. Long live Sam

excellent sound of the recorders! Well recorded!
I remember that as a young child, our family used to have vinyl-LPs with well-known Andersen and Grimm fairytales featuring the Brandenburg Concertos as introductory and background music ... Since then, I firmly associate this music (especially the 4th Brandenburg Concerto) with fairytales ... Reflecting, I could not imagine a music better suited to that purpose than Bach´s immortal Brandenburg Concertos, just as immortal as those classic fairytales ...
Bach did what history couldn't, made Brandenburg immortal
After several recordings of the 4th concerto, I like this most of all. The Brandenburg concertos are the endless enjoyment of the music written by the genius.

The 3rd movement of this Brandenburg moves me into a kind of dream state- the way the fugue just sort of floats weightlessly, but with confidence and grace...Bach was a force of nature.
La música de Bach relaja el espíritu, enaltece el alma y une los corazones de hombres y mujeres del mundo. Bienaventurados todos aquellos que escuchamos su obra. Bendecidos los que la conozcan más allá, en las estrellas. Qué viva la buena música. Saludos desde Bogotá, Colombia.
This is so beautiful it makes me want to cry.

From adagio to the third movement? ALWAYS lifts my spirit!
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses kompakten doch perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit seidigem Ton der genialen Solovioline und milden Tönen beider unvergleichlichen Soloblockflöten sowie gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt lyrisch. Der ebenso unverleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Ensemble im gut betrachteten Tempo und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Alles ist wunderbar!

Tempo is so important in this music. It must be energized, but we also want to hear the details. Agreed: the Soloblockflöten are absolutely lovely! And perfectly balanced with the solo violin....
Beethoven called Bach "The God of Harmony"! Who can argue?
The look of "wow, man" that Brunello gives Carmignola around 13:05 after all the fast bowing! Love the terrific camera work getting the players' faces up close in these concert videos.
Was für eine Freude, höre zu gern zu,danke schon mal
Wonderful, the soloist absolutely BRILLANT!, the chamber orchestra can play without any conductor as was usual in the Bach's epoch, it is one of the best interpretation I've ever heard, together with 3th and 5th concerts are the best of Brandenburg concerts.Incredible sound and tempo, BRAVO!.

There are 3 soloists in this concerto, and Bach would likely have conducted this work from the viola, the harpsichord, or the principal violin (which you erroneously call "the soloist").

@@herrickinman9303 yes, I know one "s" was missing in the commentary. Regarding what you say, yes , probably it is correct. thanks
BTW the principal cello is Mario Brunello, winner of the 1986 Tschaikovsky Competition.
El conjunto de seis conciertos branderburgueses que Bach compuso fue uno de los legados de armonía que dejó para la posteridad. Mendelssohn rescató a Bach que había caído casi en el olvido 75 años después de su muerte y fue casi milagroso

I like all kinds of music, including much classical. but baroque the most, and Bach really in a class of his own. and the Brandenburg concertos seem to me the most divine music ever written. the sounds on this recording so crystal pure, even on my simple phone and headphones. just wonderful.
Everything fits together, including the emotions, with mathematical precision. In all of Bach.

DW has some incredible programs. We are able to get a weak signal out of Fresno some 75 miles away. Bach's wonderful compositions are very cathartic with the anniversary of my wife's death yesterday. This helps with healing the heart and mind longing for the time soon of the resurrection of John 5:28, 29.
