Bach - Harpsichord Concerto No.2 in E Major BWV 1053 - 2/3 video free download

Daniel Berg

Stunning piece! But the Raymond Leppard recording from 1973 is miles better.

Fernando Henrique Caixeta

Sublime!

I love that moment, but I don't know what's going on harmonically and can't figure it out without a piano present. Would you mind explaining?

the whole tone progression(major third) in the 1st developement is just brilliant, 1:11

@sarahbrigh Indeed, as often in Bach's pieces in major key the middle part is in the relative minor key... You can find the opposite too: BWV 1054 is in F minor, but the second part is in A flat major (though it ends on the V of f minor).

Haydn was one of those transitional musicians. Although much of his music does reflect the classical style he help to create, the remnants of polyphony are very evident in his early works. But Bach? Bach was the master that made all of this music possible.

The major flaw with these Pinnock recordings is that the orchestra dominates the harpsichord, which is far too soft and unassertive.

@wolvie14 I agree with you, Bach is absolutely unique. Nevertheless, Haydn was actually from the Classical period and not Baroque. In fact, Haydn was a good friend of Mozart and when he was born, Baroque was almost finishing =D

This gets to me every time . One of these rare occasions when music is so beautiful , it mkes me cry,shivers and tingle with hapiness all at once. Only Bach can do it every time. To those denying he is a genius, listen to Vivaldi, Handel, Haydn... none of these Baroque, as talented as they are, come close to the perfect match of beauty and emotion achieved by Bach.
