What do I do without a life WITH J. S. Bach..... We have water, fire, food, shelter, and heavenly Music performed by such gifted musicians. It makes not only my day', but my life. Thank you so much.
My word... just the first couple of bars, barely 20 seconds in and you already know you are listening to the very best of us to ever walk the earth, confident in his craft. NOONE can match Bach for immediate and intense emotion and beauty.
This Bachmania without seriously studying text and its christian meaning eats the nerves. Text über alles ! The talents of melodist turns against Bach himself. In sacred works, the music is sustaining the text and not the opposite !! Atheistic world have kind of nostalgy of times when christianism was taken seriously ? It's possible to love Bach music and go to damnation. First purpose of Bach was to teach the gospel. A cantor had to succeed exam in theology ! Good pleasant hearing of trompet in Hell. Better taking Bach seriously. Do you feed poors ?
@@abirdthatflew I was half serious. I don't have first hand news :-) I wanted to point the importance of text for Bach. There was no TV. The way to teach was preach, cathechism and vocal music (importance of recitativ and chorals). I always study text first. Merry Christmas !
@@Erikkaa7 And a Merry Christmas to you! My take is that I have very little interest in the words in almost any kind of music. For me, it's all about the composition and performance of the music, that's what I hear. Rarely I'm curious enough to check the text. It was surprising to discover the words of the opening chorale of BWV 8, Liebster Gott: "Dearest God, when will I die?" The question is an anxious one, wanting to know when the calling will come. For me, the calm serenity and bliss of the music doesn't match this otherwise fine and valid poem. I'd say Bach had the music in mind already and simply fitted it to the words.
@@abirdthatflew Because you apparently don't understand what those words mean to a christian. Death gives serenity to a God loving person, especially if they are in pain. Christianity is a not a feature to believing man. It's our daily bread. And so it was for Bach. Every great piece of classical art was inspired by Christianity and full of it. The text is indeed very important for the appreciation of Bach. Without it you perceive like a mere reflection on the surface of the water but not Bach.
Herreweghe is the only Bach specialist of his generation whose work breathes. His colleagues - Gardiner, Suzuki and the others - set a fast tempo and frogmarch their choruses and soloists through that tempo. You always feel they are striving to keep up, because the tempi (when they are not slow pieces) are usually too fast in the first place. Even though (thanks to youtube) I listen to their work, I never feel they are right, "natural" tempi.
Diese fein ausgewogene Sinfonia mit der gekonnt darüber gelegten Trompetenstimme gefällt mir besonders, ebenso die wunderbare, freie Eröffnung von Teil 1.
'Die Elenden Sollen Essen' exceeds in depth, sense of a driving hypnotic force, genius craft in harmonic structure with the trumpet and voicing the chorus. Exquisitely refined interpretations. What a beauty...
Excellent coupling of the description with the painting and music. Well done. Very well executed and intelligent. Thank God for your artistic smarts!!! BRIAN
На мой взгляд, люди должны ответить, на агрессию тёмных, сил своим познанием Мира , правильным пониманием. Есть впечатление, что человечество , в настоящее время, является жертвой то есть Die Elenden.

Endlich eine Aufnahme, in der der Choral in der Trompete (Sinfonia) in der hohen Lage erklingt. Sportlich, aber natürlich so viel besser zu hören.
Diese fein ausgewogene Sinfonia mit der gekonnt darüber gelegten Trompetenstimme gefällt mir besonders, ebenso die wunderbare, freie Eröffnung von Teil 1.

Gute Einsicht!
J'écoute ce morceau en conduisant mon 15 tonnes .bébert, gilet jaune ,vous salue bien .

Adoro Bach!!!!!!!!
I like choir especially in acapella because when you hear it, it sounds like an organ playing
« Les doux mangeront et se rassasieront : ils loueront le Seigneur qui les cherche : votre cœur vivra à jamais »
Heaven on earth
Du sagst es.
Linda composição! Senhor Deus, protegei a todos nós!
Erhebend, bewegend und ewig aktuell!!!
Eindrucksvoll

La trompette est divine, je me crois au paradis...

Je ne me peux plus de cette trompette dans la Sinfonia...

Seemingly effortless musical breathing.
... it just happens without you having to make any effort.
No - not portamento singing choral
