The Concerto in A minor, performed by Reitze Smits for All of Bach, is based on a concerto by Vivaldi. Although Bach never lived outside Germany, he was still well aware of what was happening in the music world abroad. When Vivaldi’s volume of revolutionary new concertos L’estro armonico was published in Amsterdam in 1711, it was not long before Bach got a look at it.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on November 29th 2013 at the Lutheran Church, The Hague. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

    I'm just a rocker who enjoys classical music. It is amazing how much power this music and instrument has. Completely blown away.
  • @alaaobaid3363
    Bach really loved Vivaldi's works, the compination of melody and complexity in these transcriptions are heavenly , definitely the best music ever produced by humans
  • @Ajhd7333
    It is a big honour that I can listen the beautiful play with clear sound just front of my computer…

    I'm never sure which is more inspired: Bach's magnificent recreation of the music for the organ or Vivaldi's music itself. What a great performance.

    This is the trascription of the Vivaldi's Concerto in la minore for two violins Op III N 8
  • @themoonfleesthroughclouds
    Bach’s organ concertos are some of my favourite musical works, fullstop. God knows how Bach could have all these amazing ideas in his head!
  • @fulcherpj
    A beautiful organ played many times better than I have heard other organists play this piece!!
  • @blackaddergermany
    I think the second movement is just hauntingly beautiful. Absolutely fantastic!

    The Adagio has to be among the greatest pieces ever written. I first heard it scored for two violins and orchestra, possible a symphonic transcription. It would be worth trying to find that or something like it. Very effective in conveying the interweaving nature of the melodic lines. It might have even been credited to Vivaldi, or at least mentioned Vivaldi in the liner notes. This piece has resided in my memory for over 50 years. What a gift.

    Beste Reitze Smit. Ik heb dit werk van Bach door diverse organisten gespeeld . Ik vind deze interpretatie wel de allermooiste . Ik denk dat Bach het ook zo zou hebben gespeeld. Met een hartelijke muzikale groet 🖖 vanuit Hoorn Nh.

    Man, Vivaldi was a striking composer at his times. Even so Bach arranged many Vivaldi's works into keyboard pieces, and I like his arrangement fou 4 harpsichords and string orchestra in A minor after Vivaldi"s Concerto for 4 Violins and string orchestra in B minor.
