DVD Reviews of Herbert Von Karajan - His Legacy for Home Video: J.S. Bach - Violin Concerto in E Major
DVD Review: What a fatal mistake!
Summary: 5 Stars
While I was looking in Amazon some DVD regarding to Bach's music conducted by Karajan ( which is not usual ) I saw the violin Concerto in E Major, played by Anne Sophie Mutter, I wonder, ah jah!, this performance could be very interesting, but when I start reading some of the reviews of the people , I realize that this product also contains the great Magnificat, which is one of major works of Johann Sebastian Bach together with his Passions and the Mass in B minor, this Magnificat is a beautiful piece that I was looking for in many years.
I have listened many versions of this piece since I was young, but this interpretation of Karajan caused a great impact inside me the first time I heard in LP recording, and it was a very nice surprise that the performance in this DVD is the same that I loved many years ago, what a fatal mistake of SONY not have named this masterpiece in the front of the cover. Nobody will know that is there.
The performance is excellent, the use of a great or Orchestra, doubling some instruments, like flutes and oboes, the use of organ and clavecin as a continuo, the job of the choral part (5 voices) is extraordinary specially in the "Magnificat anima mea" "Omnes generations" and the magnificent "Gloria Patri". The trumpetists play the instrument like an angels, and this has been always the orchestral vision of Karajan in most of great masterpieces of composers from Baroque to Romanticism era. The roll of the four soloist and the Berliner Filarmoniker is also extraordinary.
I am sure that Bach never could imagine the transcendence that his music would have in the future, specially these giants works. After many years of listening many many versions of his passions, I can not imaging performances of those works with little orchestras and few singers in the choral parts, using the instruments of that time, like wind instruments which sound very untuned, only for the fact that of being played with the original instruments?, that is only for puritans. You can compare the Magnificat versions of Gardiner and Karajan and you will find an abyss. I think Gardiner is quite good for English and Italian baroque and renascence music. Bach always will be much modern that in his epoch.
Finally the interpretation of the Violin concerto in E major by Anne Mutter is also a great performance, with pure sound and virtuosly well played.
I suggest to Amazon to check the searching for people who are looking for the Bach's Magnificat.
