Concerto in d minor for Three Harpsichords, BWV 106.3

Apologies for the late arrival of this Post - I think that there must have been problems with the AoB website earlier; it just wouldn't load. No problems now, so here is the brand-new video (recorded in October 2017) of this octet performance of this marvellous work.

Marvellous as usual. Funny you should say 'octet'. I had been thinking in terms of a quintet with three harpsichords (ThrEE!) and I think I I paid special attention to the strings. If I had not had the video I think I would have heard a concerto - keyboards and a good orchestra.
I think I'm saying how much video adds to listening - certainly these videos for me.

Trio Sonata in G, BWV 1038

Recorded a little under four years ago in the "Pope's House" in Utrecht, and first published on the AoB website in July, 2015.

Lovely,thank you ferney

For once there was little of sparkle in this piece for me. The notes, too, especially the third paragraph, were not helpful. I gave it a couple of goes. Sorry.

Prelude & Fugue in A, BWV 896

Not one of "the 48", but a youthful work that Bach may have written when he was only 16!

A new video, recorded in 2017 and published on the AoB wensite for the first time today - played in his Cologne home by Christian Rieger.

Well, thank you, Edgey - but what did you think of the Music?

Trio Sonata in Eb (for solo Organ), BWV 525

Very possibly my favourite Bach organ work this week - and in a performance that makes me want to remove the "very possibly" cautionary:

The organist is Wolfgang Zerer, playing on the Organ of St Catherine's Church in Hamberg - a "repeat" from 2015 (recorded in October, 2014), but no less welcome.

Well, thank you, Edgey - but what did you think of the Music?

And thank you for today’s installment ferney,I can’t get the video to work though

Wakey, Wakey!

A brand-new video today of one of Bach's most famous works, the Cantata BWV 140, Wachet Auf - Jos van Veldhoven directing the Netherlands Bach Society, in a performance recorded13 months ago in the Walloon Church in Amsterdam.

Thirty* Minutes of Fantastic.

(* - well, actually "twenty seven minutes and fifty-seven seconds", but that doesn't have the R3 "zip" to it.)

Jos van Veldoven's interview re. duets and Opera gave me some insight into Bach and his output.

***There was also a recent posting Bach - Cantata Mein Herze schwimmt in Blut BWV 199 - Julia Doyle. Well worth a listen ****
