An amazing example of Bach's supreme compositional ability!!!

the motif, like the ever-present threat of an ornate, stinging wasp that flies around and around you, the interplay of the orchestra, the sustained tension of the ensemble - what a piece, what a performance!

Yes, John, the unmistakable sign of a pseudo-critic: sneering in the face of sublimity.

Those extra left hand gestures in rests by the soloist are a sign that he deserves to be there. Investment. And while I’m writing I hit the 3rd movement and are again flabbergasted by the music. The compositional idea that is repeated in cembalo at 20’03” to 20’30” is an unbelievable revelation that anticipates the end of the piece. These moments are why Bach has his reputation.

What a brilliant performance! The best of this (on of my favorites) piece ever.

Hallelujah! God be praised for Bach's life and work!

To Beautiful for Words ... Relief to hear this magnificent piece played on the instrument it was intended for.

Jordi Savall knows how to revive ancient music and to attract modern audience. This is a spectacular interpretation in structure and expression.🤩

I've always disliked performances that seem rushed and played too fast. But, listening to this, it seems my early perceptions may have been a bit off. It isn't the speed, necessarily, that makes a performance seem rushed. To me, the clarity with which the piece is played now seems to be the determining factor. The harpsichord in this performance is played very cleanly, without a lot of the overhang of notes that seems to be a holdover from 19th century romantic piano performance. And the orchestra plays very skillfully also, with due attention to separating the individual notes and not slurring them into a mess. Quite a revelation, but I'm glad I could see it!

We won’t agree on this. Despite to say even as listeners grow their preference changes. At your point “clarity of note” trumps momentum and I feel this piece was the closest thing Bach was to an actual rock star. It is a mind blowing show piece of technique, strong downbeat, relentless forward machine of the Baroque instrumental genre. It needs to GO! I mean, even the fact that every movement is in a minor key is so rock and roll.

I knew only the first movment but the whole piece is awesome it's Bach...

Absolutely the best performance of this masterpiece on YT ! Thank so much Mika...

Jordi Savall & players are part of an immense, deep wave revisiting the Baroque and later periods of string music, with great emphasis laid on vitality and historical accuracy. Learn more at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordi_Savall. I have some of his recordings on CD; anything they do is always profound, playful, and pleasurable!

wonderful music of bach and wonderful orchestra !!!

Excelente interpretación, Bach es incomparable, apoteósico, de otra dimensión, su música es magia real, el milagro mas grande de la música...

Crystallized Bach ! Magnificent !

Amazing what beauty a quick brain and nimble fingers can create. Wonderful to see it NOT performed on a piano, but instead, on my favourite instrument. Thank you.

No sé ustedes, pero en lo personal considero que es el mejor concierto escrito para un clavecín hasta nuestros días. Tenía que ser del más grande maestro de la música universal!!! La interpretación de Hantai y de toda la orquesta, es simple y sencillamente extraordinaria. Me parece que el tempo en el que está interpretada esta obra, es el adecuado. Existen versiones más lentas y otras más rápidas, esta me parece que está en su punto. Se escucha con claridad cada nota. Vale la pena que escuchen la interpretación con Trevor Pinock.

The harpsichord is one of my favourite instruments. The tonal color is different, rather like looking at a colour a different way.

Rigtig skøn musik at lytte til . Lige ind i øret.......

This is fire

Take away the grand piano and the full orchestra that have characterized performances of this work, form an orchestra that was more the size of a baroque chamber ensemble, re-balance the sound, and then play the notes. Voila! A crisp, concise, understandable contrapuntal work centered around the keyboard of the baroque era - the harpsichord. The tempos are well-chosen, the players are listening to each other, and there seems to be a joint agreement that the ensemble is going to make sound that is coherent and well defined. In my view, the only unnecessary element is the conductor waving his hand up front. The players can handle this without him.

I love this!

i’ve been on this same YT account since 2005 and i’m still confounded by “thumbs down” on virtuoso classical performance videos. not only is the harpsichordist and ensemble ripping through the material, but the audio and video production is excellent (perhaps a close mic on the soloist would help). certainly an absolute devotee of baroque music could have strong opinions….but wouldn’t such an individual simply make a comment or even better, save their comments for an essay or article rather than make a cheap gesture like “thumbs down”? but then we come to general trolls…..but why are they here? why would 46 random idiots with nothing else to do land on this concerto in the first place? ah, internet…ah, world….you are strange.

Wspaniale!

Yes, it is by harpsichord that this piece would say its own soul.

Leonhardt, Zuzana Růžičková y de Trevor Pinnock, etc., así como la filmación espectacular de Jean Rondeau, cada una con virtudes singulares, al igual que la presente, aquí en youtube, de Pierre Hantaï y Le Concert des Nations bajo el Maestro Savall.

when you trying to hit the high note you: proceed to semi-jump with your violin. that's perfect with expression. but dont be too over.

Unmistakable Bach signature between 6:00 and 6:25, not that the rest of the concerto ain't though.
