This is one high fidelity recording... you can here everything form the open strings ringing to the fingers clacking on the fingerboard. It's like hearing yourself play.
Unbelievable musical talent on display here. The sound is glorious, warm, and natural, and the playing is divine. The venue and the resulting recorded sound are phenomenal. That familiar portion of the Gigue, repeated several times, is immaculately modern & surreal. Like Bach had some sort of 'future vision' and was able to write something so far ahead of his time it defies all logic.
Lebhafte und jugendliche Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Suite in verschiedenen Tempi mit mildem doch gut phrasiertem Ton jedes technisch fehlerlosen Solocellos und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Die Virtuosität aller genialen Solistinnen und Solisten ist wahrlich ergreifend. Echt interessantes Projekt!
Well done everyone. The young talent and of course N.B.S. once again. It will be interesting to see if anyone of the talent makes playing the cello a career. If not I hope that they continue to play and enjoy the cello as a relaxing pastime.
The interpretation of Bourree I and II are particularly good. All the performances are excellent, but the two Bourrees really stand out! The gigue is also particularly excellent. I look forward to hearing more from these young musicians in future!
Magnifique ! Chacune, chacun à leur manière, ils offrent à Bach la preuve encore que sa musique est bien de notre temps ! Belle idée que cette vidéo. Génial ! j'adore ! Même si je confesse une préférence pour l'interprétation du prélude pour la fluidité et la précision du jeu en des phrasés amples qui n'excluent pas la fougue de la jeunesse notamment dans les fins de phrases.❤
Unbelievable performances and musical talents. Their playing left me speechless and I think they will do the same to any cello lover. Really amazing, thank you so much 🙏💙
Wonderful talent--it's heartening to know that Bach's music resonates with the next generation. Thank you, NBS, for showcasing these remarkable individuals. And presenting them in such an exquisite manner--the sound quality, camera work, etc., is outstanding, in keeping with literally every other performance I've had the pleasure and privilege of watching from the NBS library. God bless you folks.
All this is quite wonderful to listen to, without so much bothering about who plays and when. It becomes a proof of Bach´s genious in composing great music for the cello, and also a proof that this music will survive together with these talanted young musicians.
Enormously talented musicians I have to say, after listening to this more than ten times. It seems as they already are mature pupils of Bach, ready to conquer the world with this music.
Valentijn Jeukendrup is phenomenal! His interpretation sounds like a mature professional cellist in his 40/50th. Very unusual for a 13 year young teen.
I hope you keep this up. I appreciate your famous professional musicians who you presented regularly on this Channel. But I also think that this is an excellent idea 💡 also. To present young musicians playing Bach on your Channel means the world 🌎 😉 to me. 👏👍🤩❤💖
Es muy motivador escuchar música tan sublime siempre, sin embargo, cuando la toca un ángel solo cabe viajar al infinito para soñar con lo imposible. Infinitas gracias por compartir este talento tan exquisito. ¡FELICITACIONES PRECIOSIDAD! 💜❤💛💙💚🌝⚘🌞🌙🗽🌍🎁🎶
En medio de tanta zozobra causada por las elites del Planeta entero, est@s Chic@s nos brindan esperanza de que lo realmente valioso perdurará. Soli Deo Gloria. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Enough young super-talent here to give most men an inferiority complex. All very impressive, especially, IMHO, the perfect performance of the Bach Cello Prelude by Valentijn Jeukendrup, and with a face the great Raphael would use for an angel. Maybe that explains, not a boy but an angel pretending!
Great to hear the suite with a different performer and instrument for each dance. Wonderful talent; do they spend as much time on a normal cello or are they already zeroing in on being early music musicians?
For some children, it was the first time playing on a period instrument (the Dutch Musical Instruments Foundation provided us with some instruments). See the masterclass with Lucia Swarts on our website: www.bachvereniging.nl/en/bwv/bwv-1009-ii/
Thank you so much. I had not looked at the masterclass when I asked the question, but have now watched that too. I admire their playing so much: they are playing with much more musical maturity then I did at their age. I find myself a bit wistful that I had not had such an opportunity on a baroque instrument at the same age as them. I do count myself lucky, though, for being able to borrow and play gamba for a few years, with some lessons, but when quite a bit older. I don’t think I have ever played on a baroque cello, although for many years I played on gut/wound gut, which, alongside many other benefits, can help develop tidier right hand technique.
With period instruments and holding the cello with the the legs. Bravo. They all know how to phrase the music. What Anner Bylsma started these kids they took it even further. They use the most fitting tempi, and they let the piece talk. Personally I would prefer a more free approach with more rubatos and personal additions. Hey , we are now in the 21st century and we try to stay away from the clichee , so let us do it. We are not Ai s !. Hopefully we will never be and the individualism in performance will take new evdeavors.
It is a baroque bow, and they are held higher than a modern bow. In this video we explain a bit more: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MEOgzUkD-IY.html
Hahaha i love that the guy who play the bourre play not in the baroque position, (he play with the pin out) but his in is cut in the video Pin censored
Why she holds the bow like that? I know that that kind of bow hold was used centuries ago, but I wonder what are the benefits of using them and why cellist and violinists changed their grip throughout the history until they reach today's standard bow hold
All talented musicians but why the need to use old technology, which makes the instrument much more difficult to play? To get a more traditional, nasal sound? Or end up with crippling RSI like Boccherini was found to suffer from when they exhumed his body? The craze for early music performances is baffling to me when the great French luthiers like Tourte and Vuillaume created masterpieces that allowed Paganini to play his caprices. Baroque masterpieces do not need to be played on baroque instruments to sound authentic. It’s pure affectation because we can never know how the great virtuosos of Bach’s day actually sounded, and Bach and Beethoven weren’t the only composers who complained bitterly about the limitations of the instruments of their day. I went back to listen to Ma’s Bach and found his interpretation absolutely incomparable, and so many other amazing modern cellists.
