Bach / Karl Ristenpart, 1960: Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, BWV 1048 - Complete

#Bach #JSBach #Baroque #ClassicalMusic In this legendary 1960 recording, German conductor Karl Ristenpart (1900-1967) leads the Chamber Orchestra of the Saar in a performance of the Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, BWV 1048. I created this music video from a Nonesuch cassette I purchased in the early 1980s. (I had uploaded the first movement of this work some months ago but can now share the entire performance thanks to YouTube’s extension of time limitations.) 1. Allegro 2. Andante 3. Allegro Most of the images you see in the first and second movements of the video are from the cassette cover. Nonesuch was a budget label (albeit one with the most brilliant recordings) so all there are are the images you see -- no liner notes were included in the cassette. Also, the original plastic casing that held the tape cracked one day (I don’t remember how it happened); to save the recording I had to remove the two spools of tape and transfer them into a generic cassette case held together with screws. That is why there is no image of the actual tape enclosure. Ristenpart was working under contract for Saar radio, but because the region was under French administration in the years following the second world war, Ristenpart’s performances of Bach’s works originally were recorded by Club Français du Disque in Paris. Members of the Chamber Orchestra of the Saar (whom you hear in this recording) included Georg-Friedrich Hendel, Hans-Martin Linde, Gunter Hoeller, Jean-Pierre Rampal, and Robert Veyron-Lacroix (whose performances of baroque harpsichord works you can find in at least one of my playlists).

Поскольку под дарственной надписью стоит дата 24 марта 1721 г., известен terminus ante quem, однако точное время сочинения неизвестно. Скорее всего, концерты были написаны в годы работы в Кётене или даже ранее того. Дарственная надпись Баха указывает лишь, что это «Concerts avec plusieurs instruments», т. е. концерты для нескольких инструментов. “David Hertzberg“ ----------- ----------- #bach #jsbach #johannsebastianbach #baroque
