I come back to this performance again and again - the opening Fantasie is breathtaking. It is so very much alive. I think the Altos in this choir give the most beautiful version of this that I have ever heard. Their sound is fantastic! Colourful yet controlled, and very well prepared. And their vocal instrument is mind-blowing. Divine Beauty. Their voices is so concise, clear and colourful. From 4:20 an onwards - it is the best Alto-journey ever. Divine beauty! I have been listening this recording now over 30 times now - what beautiful voices! Other singers are also doing a very good job, and the orchestra is fresh and lively in their interpretation.
This cantata has often been too rushed in recent decades and crucial sonorities among lower woodwind are lost but here there is the ideal mix of space and discipline even though the soprano is nervous at first. The words of the cantata carry their own drama and this is beautifully presented without sounding too refined -- maybe as Bach would have performed it in a cold church. Emotion brings warmth. Bach had boy singers for high parts and the soprano soloist has a boy-like tone. Thank you for this very special performance.
The Altos in the opening is absolutely fantastic! the most beautiful introduction of Alleluja in the opening chorale, that I have heard on this piece. Good work all of you! This sounds very fresh
I thought I would be irked by the lack of oboe da caccia/at least English horn, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked with bassoon. Great performance

Thank you very much!

Bach ist immer wieder herrlich! Ich sang lange in solch Ch{ren mit. Jetzt, 80-jährig im Pflegeheim, gehts nimmer! 😂❤😊(
I realy enjoy with pleasure your concerts. Thank you!

This cantata is such a pure joy to sing. Like, every single voice.

Wonderful!
Algunos solistas son mejorables, pero el coro y la orquesta están muy bien llevados y su dicción es muy clara.
Orchestral contribution....excellent!...better than most "Big name" baroque orchestras; crisp, clear, vigorous, heartfelt. Dancing with God.
Amazing performance ☀
Thank you so much 😀
Amazing🤩🤩🤩🤩

Glory to Bach.
