Sinopsis
Deutsche Grammophon celebrates Nikolaus Harnoncourt's 80th birthday with this 2-DVD release of rare, vintage, period Bach performances for the first time. Never released on DVD and, to the dismay of fans, long unavailable--these glorious Bach pieces are conducted by period instrument pioneer, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, as only he can. Harnoncourt, a notable cellist, performs in two concertos and on gamba in one. Harnoncourt warns, "If we lose contact with the great works of Bach, we lose our contact with humanity." Vocalists Janet Perry, Robert Holl, and Peter Schreier sing with distinction in the Coffee Cantata. The Surround Sound makes clear that they revel in the acoustics of the visually magnificent Baroque library of Wiblingen Monastery.
The life and music of Johann Sebastian Bach as presented by his wife, Anna.
During a house concert, the Bach family gets a visit by their son Wilhelm Friedemann, who has just given up his position in Dresden because he no longer could endure the reprisals of his superiors.
A little girl and her inventor father celebrate the success of their greatest dream, on a day she will never forget.
Narra el encuentro histórico que se produjo en mayo de 1747, en Postdam, entre el anciano compositor Johann Sebastian Bach, casi ciego y al final de sus días, y el joven emperador Federico II, amante de la música y gran admirador del anciano maestro. Bach, que contaba con 65 años, había realizado un largo viaje desde Leizpig para atender al bautizo de su primer nieto Adam, hijo de Emanuel, su hijo de 28 años. En ese encuentro entre el rey y el famoso compositor, el monarca ve en Bach a un padre ideal, en las antípodas del suyo, Ferderico Guillermo I, y Bach ve en el joven homosexual al hijo poderoso y resuelto que hubiera deseado, tan distinto a Emanuel, demasiado sumiso y marginal a sus ojos. Con Bach había viajado también Friedmann, su hijo mayor de 30 años, un brillante organista con tendencia a la autodestrucción y una rebeldía natural. La aproximación entre artista y monarca comienza entonces a sembrar la discordia en el seno de ambos clanes, los Bach y la corte.
Erbarme dich - Matthäus Passion Stories is a labyrinthine narrative in which notables such as Peter Sellars, Emio Greco, Simon Halsey and painter Rinke Nijburg explain their special relationship with Bach’s St Matthew Passion to Ramón Gieling (Johan Cruijff: en un momento dado). They speak against the backdrop of a church which has fallen into disrepair, while a choir of homeless people and Pieter Jan Leusink’s Bach Choir & Orchestra rehearse the Passion. Leusink isn't just the conductor, he is one of the main characters himself, with a painful past in which this musical piece has played a dominant role. Stories from the others alternate seamlessly with this. We learn how the St Matthew Passion played a decisive role in the relations between men and women, fathers and sons, fathers and daughters, mothers and their unborn children, and finally that in spite of our differences we all find a common denominator in the secret of Bach's music.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s St John Passion with the Berliner Philharmoniker and Sir Simon Rattle was one of the outstanding events of the past season. As before with the St Matthew Passion, star director Peter Sellars succeeded in creating a staging which made the spiritual and dramatic content of the Passion story even more intensive. The New York Times also praised the “brilliant and energetic” playing of the orchestra, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung the “haunting, almost unsurpassable singing of all those involved.”
This is an exhilarating experience both visually and aurally. How wonderful that Barenboim is havng such success with Verdi this late in his career.The excitement and power is there in all the big movements and the tempi shouldn't upset anyone. There is clarity and drive in all the big choral fugues and the climaxes will knock your socks off. But it was the quiet moments I found most moving. The incredibly detalied camera work increases this sense of intimacy and the video quality is excellent. Really.
A two hour documentary on Johann Sebastian Bach. World-class musicians share their innermost thoughts and personal reflections on the power and genius of the most influential composer in history.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), el gran músico del barroco alemán, se traslada a Leipzig con su familia para desempeñar la función de Cantor en la Escuela de Santo Tomás. Bach, un ferviente devoto y un incansable trabajador, es además modesto y su posición social dista mucho de ser privilegiada. El reconocimiento a su música aún no se ha producido, el talento que imprimirá a sus composiciones irá creciendo con el paso de los años. La grandeza se la otorgarán definitivamente los siglos venideros. Alrededor de este argumento, casi anecdótico, la historia se abre hacia un profundo entramado donde están presentes el arte, la historia y, sobre todo, el trabajo y disciplina que supone la creación musical así como los oficios y pequeñas labores que la rodean.

Un memorable viaje intelectual por el mundo de la música barroca, desde la fabricación artesanal de un clavicordio por el maestro luthier Titus Crijnen hasta la interpretación de varias partituras de Bach y otros compositores barrocos por el conjunto de cámara español La Reverencia.
A beautiful, sensitive, reverent performance. Fischer allows Bach to speak with no unnecessary flourishes. Padmore as the Evangelist is superb, and the other soloists and choirs are near perfect. And of course the Concertgebouw orchestral musicians are absolutely first class.
The personal life and professional career of music superstar Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, universally known as Sting, who became passionate about music at a very early age and founded the trio The Police in 1977 with Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers, achieving an immediate success.
George Frederic Handel's oratorio Theodora, in its first-ever staged version at the Salzburg Festival, was among the highlights of Handel Year 2009. Acclaimed director Christof Loy presented Theodora as the profoundly moving tale of a woman who prefers death to denying her faith, an interpretation captivated with bravura by world-renowned video director Hannes Rossacher. A luminous Christine Schaefer and countertenor Bejun Mehta formed a perfect leading couple altogether suited to conductor Ivor Bolton's vigorus reading.
