One of the privileges of the online connected 21st century is that you can enjoy the best of the 18th century with a mouse click. The Johann Sebastian Bach cantata BWV 7 "Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam," a personal favorite since its release on an LP as part of the 1970's landmark Telefunken release of the complete Bach cantatas in original instrument performances, can be enjoyed in its entirety in a lively rendition by the Swiss J.S. Bach Foundation. by accessing a recently released recording on RUclips. Compared to the long bus ride needed to buy the original record, being able to sit down at a computer and hear the best of Bach is a miracle
This. For sure - and from multiple sources, not just this channel (e.g. Netherlands Bach Society.) I remember listening to a Columbia University radio production of music by Bach around Christmastime; that was amazing. Now, we're swimming in it.
Wonderful. I really look forward to the day you have released all the 200 sacred cantatas. What a treasure it will become. Artistic recordings in pristine audio and video easily accessible on this channel on RUclips.
Bin großer Fan und ich mag den HerrnRudolf Lutz sehr. Da ist eine ganz tiefe Liebe zu (der Musik von) Johann Sebastian Bach spürbar. Liebe J.S. Bach Stiftung aus St. Gallen, vielen herzlichen Dank!!!!
Ergreifend schön! Ich würde nichts anderes erwarten also akustisch wenn ich eine Zeitreisemaschine hätte die mich in das Jahr 1724 zurückbringt. Das Jahr der Uraufführung😊
Welch eine immer neue Freude, dieses Spitzenensemble hören zu dürfen! Die Abkadenzierung im 2. Rezitativ (No.5) ist für mich der Höhepunkt der Kantate und hat mich fast umgeworfen. Vielen Dank, liebe Bachstiftung, Ihr seid wirklich ein Juwel!
Wie schön, dass diese wunderbare Kantate immer noch aufgeführt wird. Ich erinnere mich noch, als ich meine Arie als Bass sang: Ich hatte eine beeindruckende Stimme. Aufgeführt zur Feier von Johannes der Täufer am 24. Juni 1724.
Que gran música y que excelente i interpretación. Como siempre el efecto bachiano milagroso con el resultado de una música magna con un dispositivo orquestal reducido. Enhorabuena y gracias por deleitarnos .
Cette magnifique cantate m'était inconnue... Quelle merveille ! Et l'interprétation (comme toujours) est d'une telle perfection, d'une telle sensibilité qu'elle en donne les larmes aux yeux.
Bach compuso esta obra durante su segundo año como Thomaskantor en Leipzig para el día de San Juan Bautista. Fue la tercera de su segundo ciclo anual de cantatas corales, que había empezado con «O Ewigkeit, du Donnerwort, (BWV 20)» para el primer domingo después de la Trinidad de 1724. La cantata fue interpretada por primera vez el 24 de junio de 1724...
Almost everyone onstage is under fifty and almost everyone listening is over fifty. The problem of classical music, the abundance of youthful talent notwithstanding.
I listen mostly to Baroque vocal/choral music, Bach and Handel mostly but sometimes others like Buxtehude. I’m 61 now. I was listening to it starting almost forty years ago. I don’t know what conclusions to draw. I’m the only person my age I know who has these tastes.
Maestoso il brano corale d'ingresso. La materia prima di grande spessore per Bach stesso è un testo di Lutero (Tauflied 1541) ripreso fedelmente senza alcuna licenza poetica. Lo slancio orchestrale su ritmo puntato "alla francese" evoca, secondo me, la maestà divina che, "umanizzata" si appresta a ricevere il battesimo dal Battista in tutta umiltà, ma senza perdere la suprema maestà, conferitagli dal Padre. Maestà espressa con abbaglianti ritmi puntati, degni a onorare il passo di un monarca.

The orchestral part of the opening chorus should have been played more gently, fluently, without such sharpness and abruptness, as the music depicts the continuous rolling and flowing of waves on Jordan, where Christ came to. A very good performance, nonetheless :)
Monetize all the notes, pun unintended, and you have invaluable superlative music. Gosh the opening bars are so reminiscent of the music prevalent in French Courts..the congregation unwittingly exposed to all the influences the Master imbibed during a church service!
Played today 300 years ago for the first time. Still great today.
a classic :)
The Aria for Tenor is addictive.

I have become a regular and look forward to hearing all the Cantatas. This is a splendid contribution to world culture.
06:55 Wow...The cello is right on the spot. Nice and smooth, making counterpoint clear as a day.

Thanks with all my heart for this Gift!
A fresh a lively interpretation of this Cantata. More invigorating than the usual turgid performances by other groups.
Definately the main reason why the Bachstiftung is the absolute best!
@Sonny Reginald No, no I don't care at all.

The only movement I like is the tenor movement with the two violin accompaniment.
Skøn o velklingende musik og flotte solopræstationer......
