The Brandenburg Fifth: A New Way of Hearing It (Part 2)

Two episodes ago we covered the first movement of the fifth Brandenburg concerto up to the famous harpsichord cadenza. In this episode we look at the two existing versions of the famous cadenza: an early version a mere 18 measures, and the the famous one, more than three times as long. Alfred CortotGlenn Gould’s video mentioned is here:https://youtu.be/gvs4v_aswfkTon Koopman’s featured live performance is here:https://youtu.be/eLJ24CnVRyQAnd the film in which Leonhardt himself plays Bach (The Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach) is here:https://youtu.be/MhZ71owC7PsDonate to this podcast: https://www.patreon.com/wtfbachhttps://www.paypal.me/wtfbachhttps://venmo.com/wtfbachhttps://cash.app/$wtfbach Get full access to WTF Bach at wtfbach.substack.com/subscribe
