J. S. Bach - Harpsichord Concertos 

The Harpsichord needs to make a comeback

Harpsichord is truly the best instrument to exist. How piano overshadowed it, I will never know.

Me at 9:30 PM: "i think thats enough internet for today". 1:20 AM: "3 hours of harpsichord concertos... Hell yea lets do this!"

:') we're so lucky that these works have survived history so we can appreciate them today

Is it just me, or is J.S. Bach simply perfect?

It's crazy that somebody composed all this with pen, ink and paper. This man must have been so brilliant I doubt he had one minute of silence in his head, it was full of tones, chords, arrangements and music structures. He would probably have been an outstanding mathematician and scientist, too

I didn’t know Bach composed and played his music in CHURCH! 😱 He dedicated his craft for “the glory of God”. Awesome.

I was 8 years old in a small town in Turkey and was playing the game "Sid Meier's Pirates🏴‍☠" on a C64🖥. That's where I heard Haendel's and Bach's harpsicord music for the first time... Now, 35 years after, I'm still loving it as much as that day..🎹🎶💖

Sick of living in a messy house? Then play this music and you feel 100% posh.

Harpsichord is the Synthesizer of the 18th century.

My favorite instrument, LOVE the sound of a harpsichord!

Harpsichords made a brief comeback in the mid-1960s when several bands began using them, it was called “Baroque pop” for anyone who wants to hear more modern usages of the harpsichord. Me personally, I adore this instrument and can’t get enough of it, regardless of the era or style. It’s elegance always shines through.

Both Beethoven and Mozart have said that J.S. Bach is the greatest composer, and they both aspired to be able to compose like him. A true musical genius.

Bach’s music has a healing effect and is an exilir to purify the soul

I just love Baroque music on a Sunday morning.

Ah, the harpsichord. It's sad to see people who look down upon this magnificent instrument and taking it for granted without even hearing the beauty that comes from within it's cords and ivory tips and the sounds that bellow from it's wooden cavity. Those who are new to this type of music, I implore you to listen to as much as you can. The harpsichord is such a beauty among most other ivory tipped instrument. A hidden beauty, If you will. To know how to play and be able to have it in my own home would be a dream come true. I hope you all enjoy the harpsichord as much as I do.

Hey! Stop scrolling for a second. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. You are amazing, you got this. I have no clue who you are, but I wish the best for you always. Stay positive💕

... makes one proud to be human.

Food for soul. Bach connects me with God.

Bachs music always goes right through me. Emotionally and intellectually. Such depth of writing hasn't been matched since his death in 1750!

Finest musician in history.

3 hours and 16 minutes of pure joy

I fell in love with the Harpsichord the first time I heard it. It has such a unique and beautiful sound. It is one of if not my favorite instruments. Love the harp too. :-) It's what I listen to when the homies aren't around...

J S Bach music is the most beautiful music ever written I hope he is in heaven so that when I get there I’ll get to meet him. My father told me many years ago that J S Bach is the father of music, now that I’m almost 70 I see why he really is The Father of music, cause I never get tired of listening to BACH greatest music in the world, though I also like Beethoven Handel Vivaldi and much of the baroque style music. I wish more of Bach’s music would be played on classical music stations. Take quality time in listening to him it will give you a bit of the good things the world has to offer. A lover off quality music even 60s progressive rock.

This is what heaven must be like

This man and his work is an inspiration for all those who make art in this dark age- I am not speaking about the pandemics , I am speaking about the 21st century

The master. The greatest of all time.

I love how everybody commenting on this video are 100x+ nicer then people commenting everywhere else on youtube.It's an interesting bit of data

That harpsichord in the image is a work of art. Just wow.

I love you so much Bach. Bach rocks! Bach rocks and I made Bach my absolute favorite composer along with Beethoven. I love you both.

Every time I hear a harpsichord I think of a beautiful cathedral. It's a very unique and ethereal sound and I love that it has some "percussive" element on it.

Discovering for the first time that I quite enjoy the sound of a harpsichord is not how I thought the day would end

i love harpsichiord

3 hours in a universe where all is well, pure peace and joy thank you for sharing. Please

This melts my heart and I become very overwhelmed with the beauty, which is Bach. This happens all the time with this composer.

This is the music of heaven

I had to listen to this to get my sanity back after discovering Morton Feldman's traumatizingly horrific songs with no harmony or dedication or rhythm. This is the best hearing therapy without a doubt. Such beauty doesn't exist elsewhere.

This music is much more efficient for tired brain(because of exam) than high caffeine beverage. I love it!

The Harpsichord makes me disappear, just close my eyes and i became timeless...Bach is so complex and simple and the same time.

One hundred "likes" wouldn't be enough; my admiration and love for these pieces and these performances goes beyond words.

Genius. The complexity is amazing. But that’s nothing new. It’s Bach!

Wow, that is a beautiful harpsichord. Possibly the single most baroque thing you could possibly put in a house.

I do say my chaps this is quite the certified Baroque classic

Let's not forget we have all chosen to offer our mind a beautiful gift by coming here. For me it puts my mind at ease as it is busy taking in and analysing the gentle, delicately entertwined and perfectly structured melodies Bach created in his harpsichord concertos. I'm so grateful to be able to fully enjoy this moment!

Who in the world would thumbs down this Amazing music? such poor souls!

i love the harpsichord so much!! such an underrated instrument, i am so glad to be able to listen to this whenever i want

J. S. Bach is my favorite of all time. This music, the Brandenburg Concertos and some of the Well Tempered Clavier send me to heaven. I have played his music on my piano & synthesizer for 55 years and the harpsichord on the Synth sounds great. He was truly a gift from God. It is sad that his music went out of style for awhile until Couperin and others brought it back. Schumann wrote that the WTC is the daily bread for pianists and Beethoven established himself as a pianist playing them for awhile. Rock stars can make hundreds of millions now while Bach had to push just to make a living. Thank goodness that one of his sons kept all of the music.

Out of all of the composers Bach is my favourite. I am a percussionist, but the Harpsichord is an amazing instrument. I don't think anyone but Bach made it sound this way. I immerse myself in his music and for a while all is right with the world.

All that St. J. touches turns to gold.

after having listened to Bach it doesn‘t matter what you do because you already have been to heaven

Bach is my soul's dancing companion.

I was listening to all this beautiful music when I was studying for my degree back in the day- exquisitely beautiful music by one of the most incredibly talented composers we were so lucky and blessed to have had.x

between roughly 1:16:00 and 1:25:00 is that mathematical brilliance of Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach Is the best composer ever! I don't think he was a great composer like him because that he has beautiful works that so nice to listen to them!

This music never gets old, and the opening allegros to the 1053 and 1053 are so joyful they could lift anyone's spirits. Played here with exactly the buoyancy the music requires.

Harpsichord's melody is the acme of beauty

The complexity, power and pace just fantastic!

Thanks God for this beautiful music !

There's something really special about the harpsichord

I am touched by all the reverence and appreciation for JSB here. Thanks for everyone expressing this. I am grateful for people like Bach and Mozart every day.

For the people who do not investige different sensations and new things to enjoy I feel I must remind them that they only have one short life .Start now with a couple of hours with this level of music every day and in a short space of the time you have left on this planet your life will be richer and more golden..

This music creats balance and harmoni in space and time. A wonder!

I just love his cheerful music. It makes me feel so optimistic and peaceful at the same time.

Majestic and monumental. The greatest musical mathematician with sublime output that transcends time! There's really no one coming near him....

from start to finish this gives me chills

Human perfection, genius, energetic, so alive.

No matter the events of a world which at times seems to have gone mad, the music of J.S. Bach reminds me to remember the better part of our nature, like the music inspired and given us by the master himself, which is an expression and a pull of that heart which ever yearns to draw closer to the source of its wonder, promise, and its hope.

Harpsichord my favorite instrument, it is severely underrated. I only listen to baroque and classical music.

The harpsichord resonates with my damn soul

И снова И.С. Бах! Это не музыка,это вибрации Творца! Трепет каждой частички Вселенной! Нет ничего выше и прекраснее!

Divinity and humanity in a oner. It connects like no other music. Thank you.

Bach's Baroque is BEST!

This splendor of words can not arrive This comfort is irreplaceable

Klawesyn jest mi znany od czasu nauki w szkole średniej I pamiętam, że od pierwszego odsłuchania na nim muzyki, byłam oczarowana jego dźwiękiem i tak jest do dziś - dziękuję za te śliczne chwile obcowania z tak cudną muzyką 🎉😮🎉😊🎉

I wish i was alive in that period only to see how a presentation like that looks like. Probably amazing.

You rock my world, Johann...like no other.

My absolute favorite instrument.

Musica per estraniarsi da tutto e da tutti,in fin dei conti è questo il compito che spetta,alla più nobile delle forme d'arte.

Classical music is heavenly music that never dies.

This is musical eloquence, adorned tastefully with charming prolixity and perfectly predictive of the emotional expectations of the listener. As a tuba player, it becomes a great challenge to produce the music of Bach in an authentic way. I am trying the Gigue BWV 825 now. Difficult, but I desire more than anything to capture it in the majestic tuba resonance.

I can just imagine a rich 18'th century English family having this kind of music played while hosting a party at their palace.

JS Bach - the true Godfather of Metal.

This harpsichord is quite brilliant if I do say so myself. Absolutely astounding! Truly exquisite!

I love all music, but I must say I think there is a really strong argument to be made that Bach was the single greatest musician in the Western European tradition of music. He composed more music, of more different types, and with as many or more great masterpieces, as any other musician in history, as well as being arguably the greatest instrumental performer of his day. Much as I love Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Shostakovich and Stravinsky, it's hard to see how even their genius approaches that of Bach. He really was the GOAT, IMHO.

After listening to all these concerts, I want to thank Leonhardt Gustav for his excellent version of the music of the great J.S. Bach Tepper Michael.

BACH IS A BEAST

Nice interpretation. This is the first time I DON'T say to myself : «Richter, forgive them, as they don't know that they are doing»

Bach totally kills it. He is the absolute ENDGEGNER of music. I mean how did he do this? mustn't he have heard melodies all day long?

This is the music that is playing when Angels are born.

Thank you God for this awesome gift.

Что и говорить, выше, лучше и красивей этой музыки нет. Поэтому, просто крайне необходимо понемногу с детства детям включать, приучать их к вечному, к тому что кроме пользы им ничего не принесёт Это исцеляющая душу музыка и этим всё сказано.

Music for the rich and for Royalty....and us mere peasants....touches our wonderful inner beauty that spices and refreshes the soul 🐶 🌸....be happy and harmonious.....xxxxx

Patrimonio de la humanidad , cuanta belleza querido amigo Juan Manuel , gracias !!!

It's so nice to hear these in the intended tuning. Such a warm tonal color.

I love the sound of the harpsichord!!

This is what heaven sounds like

Thank you for this musical treat. A purity to stir the heart soul and mind. As. Terrible as the world can sometimes be we will always have this music to counter it.

This is a cradle of my soul

A delightful rendition! The harpsichord audits rich melodic sound. Just a unique beautiful tone.
