Woke bullshit infecting every corner of life. One can no longer find refuge even in bach's music, one has to put up with the globalist"s masters poison because they PAY the NBS.
Some explanation about the stage setting of this production: In a theatrical programme about money, power and pleasure, the Netherlands Bach Society brings to life the fashionable Leipzig of the early 18th century. The performance begins with Bach's ‘Erwählte Pleißen-Stadt’; we extend this song of praise to the city of Leipzig to our present time. Imagine a company, CEOs talking about the success of their companies, standing behind their lecterns like you have at a press conference. But then, in Bach's expressive cantata ‘Es erhub sich ein Streit’ BWV 19, whistleblowers wonder: what about that success? What goes on behind the scenes cannot pass muster. Power, money, sex, the same old story. In the complex story of Telemann's opera ‘Der neumodische Liebhaber Damon, oder die Satyrn in Arcadien’, the satyr Damon tries to conquer a kingdom from which he has been exiled. Like a true contemporary seducer, he explores the boundaries of sexuality and bourgeois decency. The characters from Telemann's opera already enter the stage during BWV 19, the first complete Bach piece in the program. With some artifice here and there, a storyline emerges as if it had been conceived together by the two Baroque composers at the time. Director Caecilia Thunnissen: "In the end, this production is all about the longing for love. Some try to obtain love with wealth, others with macho behaviour. In the costuming, designed by Mahshad Safaei, we play with gender fluidity, the new sexual revolution is happening now, the discussion is hot. We give the contemporary seducer a stage, what does it look like? Someone who plays with decorating, sexuality and eroticism, and who feels free in it."
Im a 33 y old gamer dude that goes to hard techno raves and also listen to kpop. The opening to this cantata gets me way more excited that any dj or musicproducer could ever

Bach is not and will never be "woke". I love NBS for the beautiful and refreshing interpretations of Bach's work. You don't need to pull stunts like this to try to be "relevant'.
😅 lol, bach wouldn't have even noticed the clothes... he would've been like "what's that african doing up there?"... but you "antiwoke" paranoids know better than to comment on that
Daniel Johannsen alone realizes that if you're going to dramatize Bach, make it theatrical, you can't have the singers relying on the score. And his mastery does justice to that remarkable aria.
Ein Leben reicht eigentlich nicht aus, um dem Wunder dieser Arie gerecht zu werden. Endless thanks, my dear friends from the Bachvereniging, for this unforgettable experience! ❤🔥
Wow. This was stunningly good from beginning to end. Soloists all stellar, brass piercingly perfect, reeds smooth but playful, strings tight and solid. My first time hearing this cantata, and I can’t imagine a better introduction.
Vibrant, charming, modern presentation. The soloists, the choir and the orchestra also play perfectly. The sound is clear as crystal. Everything is perfectly in place. I rarely hear a performance of such high quality.
Außergewöhnliche skurrile Darbietung. Der Chor teilweise in Faschingskostümen, die Musiker laufen während der Aufführung hin und her, haben offenbar teilweise Streit, der Dirigent hat kurz vor der Aufführung das Kleid seiner Frau aus dem Kleiderschrank gegriffen. New Stile? Was soll das? Eine Nachbildung der undisziplinierten Orchester mit denen Bach damals seine Probleme hatte? Bitte gebt Bach wieder seine Würde mit einer seriösen Aufführung zurück. Immerhin, die musikalische Qualität war ausgezeichnet!
Instrumental and vocal perfection. A cantata unknown to me but that opening chorus is astounding. Will bear repeated listening if not watching (the production).
And the tenor didn't need any music sheet to sing all of it either! The whole interpretation is wonderful. The costumes were interesting. Keep up the good work everyone.
This was perfect in the context of the programmatic concert about the relations between money, power and pleasure.. but if taken alone, this production can be problematic because it's very strange, maybe too much. Always grateful nonetheless, the singing and instrumental finesse in the rendition of this cantata for the church couldn't be bettered, even if this time i forced myself to close my eyes
Great performance, as always! But I have to admit I'm not a fan of this strange and sexualized stage setting.. seems out of place for a church cantata.
“Out of place” vis-a-vis the original liturgical purpose is a non-starter argument, unless you want to banish the women from the stage. This is performance in the 21st century. That said, I also do not favor whatever this semi-staging was; it made no sense to me, and it added nothing to the glorious music. So I looked away from time to time, which must have been when anything sexy happened, for I saw nothing of the sort. ?
A beautiful and powerful cantata by Bach, about the battle of Saint Michael with Satan, performed by the choir and soloists with a passion similar to Bach's. I congratulate NBS on another impeccably performed work by J.S.Bach 🎵😌🎶
What a wonderful masterpiece, masterfully played, in the right tempo with deeply engaged singers and musicians. I'm in love with the entrancing entrance chorus, but the tenor aria is awsome! Congratulations and bravo to the artists
Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieser fein komponierten Kirchenkantate mit gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors und herrlichen Stimmen dreier genialen Solisten sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Originalinstrumente. Der intelligente und unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Barockorchester im veränderlichen Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Hörenswert vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
For my friends who are protesting the costumes, don't be alarmed, the lyrics have not been changed and the message is clear: in the fight between good and evil, Christianity is victorious through faith and divine protection.
Un po' di "teatro" alleggerisce l'austerita' di questa Cantata, magnificamente eseguita. Straordinaria la commovente aria del tenore, nella quale anche la 1° tromba e' riuscita a fare emettere al suo strumento soltanto suoni struggenti. Bravissimi tutti!
I am certainly willing to accept the rather unusual, controversial interpretation in exchange for a superb performance of this cantata. The Tenor Recitative and Aria, with the high trumpet sounding the chorale melody is especially noteworthy. Thank you!
I'm not "offended" by the staging of this cantata, nor do I find it to be sacrilegious or blasphemy or woke or whatever. The simple fact for me is that the words and music of this cantata tell a story. And Bach was an absolute master at using his music to infuse the words with even more profound meaning, in order to the tell the story in an even more captivating manner (the astonishing, multilayered tenor aria "Bleibt Ihr Engel" being a perfect example of this). But here, his work is utilized to tell an entirely different story, which means the interpretation is unfortunately no longer in service of the work being performed, but in service of some type of "concept" some theatre director has concocted. Such concepts *can* work, and maybe this one works for the Telemann opera...but with respect to this Bach cantata, IMHO it falls completely flat. And in the context of "All Of Bach", a seminal project dedicated to this truly remarkable composer and his groundbreaking music, I find this...quite unfortunate.
Mutig, kontemporär, lebendig, technisch und emotional wahnsinnig gut: Danke! Ich feiere das und finds toll dass das auch Platz findet. Dirigenten Kleid - richtig fäsch ❤️
It’s not even the weird costumes but the moving around that utterly ruins this. You’ve been presenting these cantatas for years performed to such a high standard, and to come up with some director’s clownery at this point…
Let me tell you about the next step. During the Coffee Cantata performance, the sopranos will drink coffee and empty their suddenly full bowels into each other's faces.
@@kraka2381No he wouldn’t. Stop pretending you have some nuanced view of history. No, not every composer was gay or had some secret suppressed belief in modern social liberalism and third wave feminism.
Si la performance musicale de cet ensemble est toujours remarquable, qu'est-ce que cette bouffonnerie visuelle apporte au génie de composition de J. S. Bach? On a de plus en plus des enregistrements en tenue disparate de la rue; bientôt en survêtement ? Je regrette cette tournure prise, il y avait plus de rigueur avec le remarquable Jos van Veldhoven
To sing along with the final chorale: Laß dein Engel mit mir fahren Let your angel travel with me Auf Elias Wagen rot, In Elijah's chariot. Und mein Seele wohl bewahren, Keep my soul in holy safety Wie Lazrum nach seinem Tod. As the blessed Lazarus. Laß sie ruhn in deinem Schoß, May my soul rest peacefully, Erfüll sie mit Freud und Trost, Filled with comfort joyfully, Bis der Leib kommt aus der Erde Till my body, resurrected Und mit ihr vereinigt werde.

Bach composed this as sacred music. Even if, sadly, you lost the ability to understand what desecration could be, the dissonance between the words and spirit of the cantata and this freakish performance is simply jarring.
It's probably some sort of heresy to say this but I've never understood the need for Opera, and Bach certainly didn't need it. His Cantatas and Passions are much better art for not attempting any sort of dramatic staging. The combination of a play with a dramatic plot in which the characters burst into song at intervals is something I've always found a huge turn-off (the same applies to film musicals!). Whereas the discipline of the Cantata form makes no attemt at realism and relies on the inherent drama of the words as sung, and in Bach's case his quite amazing ability to give musical expression to the whole range of human emotions. In this respect the Cantata form is similar to poetry which is read from the page (not performance poetry which is different), and still more to modern songs as exemplified by Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, in which the reader/listener can give their undivided attention to the words and music without distraction.
Музика та спів дуже гарні ! Але Бах писав цю музику для Всевишнього , та хочаб із поваги до Баха варто виконувати його твори у пристойному зовнішньому вигляді . Божих вам благословінь.
Beautyful music, as usual ofcourse, beautyful sung, but if Bach wanted an opera, he would have written one. I don't think it's appropriate. It's also distracting.
Superb and beautiful.👌👌👌 all those crybabies about the clothes they are wearing 🤣🤣 . I don’t care, even if they play naked..for me its the beautiful music that counts played by the best Bach interpretors there is.
Donald Trump brought me here. He posted a Saint Michael prayer on X(twitter) But I strongly doubt that he even knows this cantata or JSB`music in general
@@bachThe fact that this was part of a wider production means that the costumes probably weren't Sato's idea. Please bear in mind that Bach never trained as an opera composer like so many of his contemporaries (inc Telemann). He came up through the church tradition, even returning to the strictures of the church authorities at Leipzig after his luxury years at Cothen. The skits NBS did for Coffee Cantata, Quodlibet etc worked because those were secular, less formal works, unlike BWV 19, which is part of his sacred canon. Call me an old fuddyduddy but seeing an esteemed artist like Sato wearing a woman's ball gown and the other singers done up like wedding cakes whilst performing such serious music rather jars against nature's chime. Just saying.
People are unsubscribing for this? I can guarantee everyone in the comment section has gone out in clothes that would have scandalized every last person in an actual 17th century church! I thought the costumes and the movement around the stage were a little unusual watching this - but i struggle to imagine the hypersensitive mindset necessary for a modern person to take offense to music so faithfully performed, the way it seems half the commenters did.
@@Nickkelvin-v3e Ich mag die Musik von Bach sehr. Und ich höre oft seine Musik. Wir sind Freunde der niederländischen Bachgesellschaft und besuchen regelmäßig Konzerte. Aber .... leider ...... ich bin kein Bach-Experte, nur ein Genießer.
We should just enjoy the music and not watch. The outfits look like an explosion in a paint factory for the most part. A pointless silly attempt to modernise bach and telemann and which does nothing to add to the music. Easy money for the director and designer whose explanation is an excellent example of the emperor's new clothes, if you needed one.
