Adam Domagała: When you founded the famous Alban Berg Quartet over 40 years ago, you were already, like your colleagues, a recognized virtuoso, a professor at the Academy of Music in Vienna. Using terminology from the world of pop music: it was a supergroup, loud from the very beginning due to the reputation of its members. Do you think that in today's times such a 'professorial' venture would have a chance of success? Could it capture the attention of a distracted audience?

Johann Sebastian Bach is regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history of classical music. His creativity, incredibly diverse and full of genius, continues to fascinate and inspire new generations of musicians and music lovers. Bach was not only an outstanding composer but also a talented organist and violinist. His music is characterized by precision and emotional depth. The video features a performance of Badinerie, a part of the orchestral suite in B minor, authored by Bach himself. Badinerie is a characteristic dance movement, full of energy and virtuosity, usually concluding a suite. Ton Koopman, the renowned Dutch harpsichordist and conductor, along with the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, perfectly captures the character of this composition. The performance is full of dynamism and precision, and Koopman and his ensemble manage to beautifully convey the color and characteristics of Bach's music. The delicacy of sound, lightness, and elegance are features that dominate their performance. Listening to this recording, we feel transported to the world of the Baroque, where dances were full of charm and joy. It is also worth noting the rawness of the musical form, which is an excellent example of Bach's genius. Although the piece is short, it contains a wealth of counterpoint and harmony that are characteristic of this composer's work. Bach created complex works that combined beauty and intellectual depth. This orchestral suite is an excellent example of Bach's creativity and a perfect material for studying and discovering his compositional techniques. Thanks to artists like Ton Koopman and his ensemble, we can enjoy this wonderful music and appreciate the extraordinary legacy of the composer.
It is amazing how Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra bring Bach's music to life in their performance of the Badinerie from the orchestral suite in B minor. Their precision and energy convey the full emotion of this piece. The melody is truly captivating, and I can't stop listening to it. Both display incredible skills and cohesion, making this performance unforgettable. I am impressed by this rendition and would love to hear more pieces performed by this ensemble. I really recommend it to anyone looking for music full of energy and beauty.
