  &quot;Bach is the God of Harmony!&quot;<br> &nbsp; - Beethoven<br><br>&quot;No offense to anyone else, but, Bach is the greatest musical genius of all time!&quot;<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;- Mendelssohn

  I am not religious whatsoever, but I am infinitely thankful that Bach&apos;s musical adaptation of Luthernism &quot;world upside-down&quot;, &quot;God shall be last and the Last shall be first&quot;, resulted in a double viola Brandenburg Concerto.

  I love this moment starting at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76oidwtHyIo&amp;t=880">14:40</a> when the viola plays right over the cadence and does this run of notes ending on its lowest string. Bach’s music has the best details like this.

  You can tell in this recording and many many others that musicians love playing Bach.

  For those who don&apos;t know about the story behind Bach&apos;s Brandenburg concertos. &nbsp;In 1721, Bach composed six “concertos for various instruments”. He dedicated them to a German nobleman and sent the manuscript as a gift, hoping to land a job as the court composer in Brandenburg. &nbsp;The nobleman never replied. Bach eventually took another job in Leipzig, where he lived for the rest of his life. &nbsp;Bach had send his original and there were no copies. &nbsp;The 6 concertos were lost for 130 years. &nbsp;They were never performed. The manuscript was eventually sold for about $20 and shelved in a library. &nbsp;The Brandenburg Concertos sat there until 1849, when they were discovered and published for the first time. &nbsp;Thank god.

  The relaxation of the tempo (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76oidwtHyIo&amp;t=116">1:56</a>, and at similar places) reminds me of a drowsy cat nodding off to sleep, and then getting startled back to alertness😻I also like the tiger-maple fretboard on the bass viol😼

  Bach, the Greatest Of All Time, truly the only one who deserves that title, and the Branendburgs, some of his most glorious works. This is the height of human achievement and fulfillment.

  In my humble opinion, The Brandenburg concertos are collectively the greatest musical creation in the history of the world!

  These Netherlands Bach Society recordings really are an extraordinary treasure trove. Absolutely everything about every one I&apos;ve listened to/watched is excellent, from the overall concept of each performance to the details of camerawork and audio recording. The performers are clearly all at the top of their game and work together like a string quartet of 20 years&apos; standing. Some of the finest music-making to have been committed to recording media, now or at any time in the last 120 years. I have already donated to the project and feel I will probably do so again.

  You can´t imagine how long have I been waiting to hear this Brandenburg played by &quot;all of Bach&quot;, I kinda cried at the first notes. Sato, didn&apos;t expected to see you playing a viola, you are an incredible musician as all the ones in this vid.
