I consider this one of the greatest things ever put to tape. The amount of musical power is awe-inspiring.

Majestic melancholic joy. As the poor prince who penned this died so young. His music lives on.

Prince Johann Ernst Von Sachsen-Weimar was a musical prodigy, 18 when he died. His massive collection of music, as well as the quality of his own work, created a great impression on Bach and Bach wrote for harpsichord and for organ many settings of this music.The Biggs performance on pedal harpsichord of 592 is, I think, the best performance of this piece I have ever heard. The organ performances suffer from lack of definition of the high notes, and the harpsichord performances lack body. This jubilant, thrilling music is like celestial bells.

Back when Royals had some talent :) Look at the motley British crew and Albert of Monaco :/ If an 18 year old lad wrote this he was indeed gifted.

This sounds so right . Would neverwant to hear it on a piano . This is thrilling music ! My grandmother had this album when I was a kid and I loved it and now I have found it again with Biggs in the Handel concerti !

What an exciting piece of music! I've struggled with this for years and am unable to bring the life that this recording brings to it. Kudos to (the late) Mr. Biggs.

This recording is actually from the album "Bach Organ Favorites, Volume 6" released by Columbia in '74. The album cover in the video is different, and applies to the other recordings on pedal harpsichord (like the Fantasy and Fugue, Toccata and Fugue, etc.)

Very interesting pedal harpsichord and fantastic performance. At last a man who plays the shakes in their place too. The sound of the harpsichord is lovely and rich too although very much of the modern school: would probably make a few purists blanche but I love it.

There is a fine jazz adaption of this magnificent piece of music. Just search BWV 592 jazz. What is it about Bach that makes him so amenable to jazz renderings?

Are you saying this is was originally a violin concerto? I no longer have the vinyl, but I'll take your word for it and change if you can confirm this. And if it's a question about the person, I will make a change from 'Saxe' to Sachsen to make it more accurate.

Hi, I really like your choice of music. I just subscribed to your channel. I have a question regarding this particular recording. I looked it up and it seems like this track "kzitem.info/news/bejne/041oyXtjnmKnjKQ" and "kzitem.info/news/bejne/qn93uGF4oKFkpn4" shouldn't be on this record (talking about the one on the image: Bach On The Pedal Harpsichord by E. Power Biggs, Columbia Masterworks - MS 6804, 1966". Do these pieces come from another LP?

+disityp A couple of the concerto works were originally from a double LP set that featured the Trio Sonatas, after Vivaldi. I decided not to post Trio Sonatas as they are readily available on CD. But these concertos and the rest of the original Bach program, which I posted here, are still not available in digital format to the best of my knowledge. (I've always thought my posting of this Biggs album, with the addition of the two concertos, would have made an ideal hour-long CD. But Sony must have thought otherwise...)

This one should be Prince Johann Ernst of Saxe-Weimar's own work transcribed by Bach. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Johann_Ernst_of_Saxe-Weimar
