Sundays are for Beauty - Bach
That's the Freiburg (Germany) Baroque Orchestra performing J. S. Bach's first of his six Brandenburg Concerti. The six concerti by Bach are widely regarded as among the finest musical compositions of the Baroque era. The third concerto was featured in Sundays are for Beauty, Part 22.
The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra has been in existence since 1987, and performs around the world. Notice the instruments being played in the video. They're restored or replica versions of the instruments of the Baroque era.
Listening to the music of J. S. Bach can make any day more beautiful. It's bound to make today a beautiful Sunday.
