Could you pin this comment to the top? I am always looking for the "Wir eilen" duett and the time links are so helpful. Thank you so much for what you are doing!!! It's a gift to humanity!
No group does Bach as beautifully as the Netherlands Bach Society. Every one of your performances is thrilling.. Many thanks from a very delighted Amerian listener.
Hard to believe that he composed this on a Monday and Tuesday, got his family to write it out, rehearsed it on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and then they performed it on Sunday. Then started a new one on Monday and repeat over 200! He da Man! 😎 This performance is amazing! 😍
Hard to believe because it could not have happened the way you describe. It takes a college choir 4-8 weeks to rehearse one Bach cantata. Surely Bach did NOT perform a new cantata every Sunday. He had administrative duties and private lessons to give. He didn't just sit around composing new cantatas. He could not depend on the poor resources of the Thomas-Schule and town musicians. Like his predecessor Johann Kuhnau, Bach depended on talented students from the university to perform his cantatas and even offered them free music lessons in exchange for their participation in the performances.
@@herrickinman9303 There were very few rehearsals. The performances were probably not as perfect as those we are used to in our day and age; on the other hand musicians were trained differently precisely for that purpose. In many instances we know when Bach got the libretto from the poet, when it was approved by the ecclesiastical authorities, and when the cantata was finally played. So this is not a matter of 'it could not have happened', it's more a matter of 'how could it have happened the way it has'. During the first two years in Leipzig, Bach produced 100 cantatas. Hard to imagine how he could have dedicated 4 weeks to each of them! The rehearsals took place on saturday, one day before the religious service.
To think that, for a few years, Bach had to write something like this every week! The duet "Wir eilen" is absolutely gorgeous. I am obsessed with this RUclips channel.
Not only compose it, had it copied by his students, rehearsed it with the singers and musicians and then perform it. This is impossible for humans... except for J. S. Bach.
I first heard this cantata when I was taking an introduction to music course and had to write a paper on it. I sat in our music library for hours listening to it over and over again. I had never heard anything as exquisite as the second movement, the duet.
If any one needs proof of God listen to this heavenly music. Such perfection. Bach was the God's stenographer, and the Netherlands Bach Society is reciting it for the world to hear. Such incredibly vibrant performances. That the land of Spinoza and Rembrandt gives us such glorious sounds. Bravo!
Jesus, You, who my soul, through Your bitter death, out of the devil's dark pit and the heavy anguish of the soul have powerfully rescued, and have let all this be known to me through your delightful Word, be now, o God, my treasure!
With you entirely. Sometimes it’s all to do and speak frankly of the power Bach wielded. E.g. 3’20” to 4’00”. The use of the chromatic line. Still shakes my centre after twenty years of listening to BWV78.
When you hear all of the Bach cantatas you will even be more surprised. For example cantata 'Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ' (BWV 33), especially the duet "Gott, der du die Liebe heißt", but the whole cantata is wonderful.
@@jamallabarge2665 Surely, the entire cantata is not a lament. The 1st movement is a passacaglia, whose theme is the traditional lament motive: the chromatically descending tetrachord. The theme occurs descending, ascending, and in various keys.
@@herrickinman9303 Oh, no... just the first movement. If the correct term is "passacaglia" then that's even better. I know what I like, I am not experienced in dissect it.
Просто не знаю, как вас отблагодарить. Эта музыка, и ваше исполнение - лучшее, что есть в моей жизни! Спасибо большое вам за вашу любовь к Баху, и непревзойдённое мастерство!
Absolutely beautiful singing and playing. I can't understand why 8 people would say they didn't like it. As a former Counter-Tenor, I must congratulate Mr. Mead on his beautiful voice. All the soloists were tremendous as was the chorus. And finally, lovely conducting by Mr. van Veddhoven. Very clear and precise. All in all, a wonderful performance. Thank you!
Good to see Daniel in such fine action! I was in Salzburg several years ago and was delighted to find a Bach concert on. It was a cold night and I remember this superb young singer wearing his overcoat performing to an audience of just six! I tried to get a choral society of which I was a member to book him to sing with us (I would have paid) but they got cold feet!
1. (Coro) Jesus, tu que minha Alma Com tua amarga Morte Das trevas Infernais do Diabo E da pesada tristeza da Alma Poderosamente arrebataste E que tal me deixaste saber Por meio de tua gentil Palavra Sê agora, Ó Deus, meu Refúgio!
It is incredible to hear this ensemble playing with passion, understanding and absolutely flawless. Sure, JSB had adored them! And look at Daniel, he is not just singing the arias, he is absolutely into the pieces with every fibre of his body and I am always amazed to hear and see him! Many thanks to all of you guys - you simply make my life better!
Großartige Aufführung dieser perfekt konstruierten Kantate mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt synchronisierten Tönen aller historischen Instrumente sowie herrlichen Stimmen vierer genialen Solisten und gut vereinigten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors. Der erfahrene Dirigent leitet alles im gut phrasierten Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Einfach wunderschön!
As always, a superb rendition. The consistent quality of this ensemble is a joy to hear and see - they never disappoint. Thanks, also, for not frantically rushing through the charming duet, as is so often the case. The tempo was perfect. 👍❤️
14:00 Grandiose Interpretation einer grandiosen Arie. Ich habe dieses Stück schon recht oft in etlichen verschiedenen Versionen gehört.Es ist wohl in erster Linie eine Frage des persönlichen Geschmacks, aber so faszinierend und ergreifend wie in dieser Aufnahme habe ich das bis jetzt noch nie wahr genommen.
Another great Bach Cantata release. This ensemble never disappoints, does it? What a library when all of the cantatas have been recorded and uploaded! I look forward to that day...
Esta trabajo de mérito incalculable del Netherland Bach ha transformado mi vida! Me rindo diariamente ante Bach, no quiero escuchar mas nada. El manantial de paz y sentido de coherencia en el universo no cesa. La grandeza de las imágenes y el sonido es insuperable solo por la capacidad interpretativa del todos! Uffff soy un agnóstico intelectual pero un creyente musical.
It's very hard to single out any one specific performance in this magnificent Bach project as all bear repeated listening, and all are a great joy. This particular production, however, the BWV 78 ... scintillates. Creativity and versatility and talent go hand in hand. Thanks to all the performers and those backstage for sharing with us your invention and joyful music-making.
Another marvelous performance from the Netherlands Bach Society. The Duet, „Wir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten“ was particularly charming!
And let me not forget to mention the absolutely wonderful videography! I am drawn into the music by the look of heartfelt and unbroken concentration on the part of every musician.
Superb performance from the Netherlands Bach Society, a really great ensemble to behold! Jos van Veldhoven, conductor is really talented and directs superbly. The soloists:Maria Keohane, soprano, Tim Mead, alto. Daniel Johannsen, tenor, Matthew Brook, bass are all magnificent. Great flute & oboe playing too!
It's not delightful when you need it to pass your leaving cert music exam and have to pick out where exactly you are in the score without having the score in front of you 😭and the names of each movement is so important too
It's not as bad as I thought we only need the first movement and the last so it's not bad and it's a lovely piece and my music teacher is the best so ya
In the aria Daniel sounds like Mark Padmore but better with a spectacular interpretation of both Arioso and Aria. He must be the best Bach-tenor currently I guess.
Oh, and I must congratulate the orchestra! Sorry I missed saying that in my previous post. Lovely, sensitive playing and certainly didn't 'drown out' the singers as can often happen. Just a delightful performance.
Netherlands Bach Society Grazie ! 0:08 Jesu, der du meine Seele (Choral) 6:41 Wir eilen (Duett) 11:50 Ach! ich bin (Rezitativ) 14:00 Dein Blut (Aria) 17:22 Die Wunden (Rezitativ) 20:04 Nun, du wirst (Aria) 22:57 Herr! ich glaube (Choral)
Cantata BWV 78 has been one of my favorites for over 4 decades. The juxtaposition, in moods, of the first 2 movements...wow. This performance is stunning. Although the "old wig" took criticism from Church authorities, and was supposedly only lukewarmly appreciated by the congregation, what did his vocalists and instrumentalists think? Firstly, fear, at the technical difficulties, I'm sure...does the flautist, singer, oboist really need to breathe? Naaaah. But later, while dining with friends, or approaching sleep, what must have been in their minds? The sheer genius, brilliance, uniqueness of the writing must have overwhelmed them, yes? They must have known that they were connected to someone/something truly extraordinary. His recitative writing alone...his diminished triad and 7th chord modulations...amazing, and emotion laden...no one did it better. // This whole production is great...I loved the out of focus, to perfectly in focus camera work in, 'Dein Blut', as the tenor swelled from piano to forte. Again, please keep posting.
Thank you for your insights. I dont know much about music. After listening to several hundred works randomly I am now listening to the bwv in order. Learing what I can and enjoying.
Magnificent cantata. Deeply inspires the religious spirit of those who hear it. Only an unique and genius musical like Bach could compose so sublime cantata. The voices are outstanding and the orchestration perfect. Thanks for these moments of unbelievable joy and pleasure.
On peut ici aussi, paraphrasant Debussy(qui parlait de l'Andante du concerto pour violon en la min.), dire que "la beauté de cette Cantate est telle qu'on ne sait plus où se mettre, ni comment se tenir pour se rendre digne de l'entendre!". Et les œuvres du "vieux Bach" qui méritent cette admiration sont innombrables. Merci à la "Netherlands Bach Society" pour cette magnifique interprétation.
When I lived in Guam I had a tape with this and Bach's Magnificat, plus Ive's Holidays Symphony. I really get into a worship experience when I hear this cantata as well as the Magnificat.
State veramente toccando l'apice dell'espressione artistica... È una rivelazione divina! Fate esultare Johann Sebastian con tutta la Comunione dei Santi, aiutando anche tante anime sulla terra, tra cui ci sono anch'io, mettendole in contatto con l'Altissimo. Continuo a ringraziare Dio e voi per tanta Grazia...
As usual, a great performance from the Netherlands Bach Society with van Veldhoven conducting. A splendid equilibrium between voices and instruments. TThanks.
" De nos pas faibles mais empressés, Nous accourrons vers toi ..." Merci à la NBS de traduire par son talent cette " hâte avec lenteur " ...Tempo plein de retenue mais qui irrésistiblement avance !

L'exploit est de renouveler à chacune de vos interprétations cette redécouverte, avec une fraîcheur mais pourtant une maturité étonnante ! Bravo , bravissimo !
Cantata 78 by J. S. Bach is universal beauty. I am sure that if some expert will explore its structure, the Golden Proportion will be found out. It is impossible to me that Bach didn't use it. He was a mathematical genius, he surely knew and he applied Golden Proportion

I also love the Duett!
A few years, AKA almost all of his Leipzig period lol
actually Johann von Rist wrote the chorale for the piece, at the age of 17.
Wunderbar!! Der Tenor ist einfach entzückend und der Bass großartig. Auch Sopran und Alt gefallen mir sehr gut. Hinreißend deren Duett.
I first heard this cantata when I was taking an introduction to music course and had to write a paper on it. I sat in our music library for hours listening to it over and over again. I had never heard anything as exquisite as the second movement, the duet.

Le duo "Wir eilen", il y a tant de fraîcheur et de joie dans cette musique, Bach est vie, joie, éternité, théologie, pédagogie et humanité
c'est sur cette cantate et particulièrement sur ce duo que je suis tombé amoureux des cantates de Bach. D'accord avec tout ce que vous écrivez.
What an amazing cantata ! So full of life... and wonderfully performed! Definitely one of my very favorites.
What a beautifully flexible voice the tenor has,and such musical phrasing!
Jesus, You, who my soul,
through Your bitter death,
out of the devil's dark pit
and the heavy anguish of the soul
have powerfully rescued,
and have let all this be known to me
through your delightful Word,
be now, o God, my treasure!
When Daniel sings "to battle" he looks like he's absolutely going to scratch your eyes out
Incredible voices. Lovely composition...orchestra rocks. Bach is KING.
Bach would tell you his works are merely a finger. Do not stare at the finger which points to something much larger.
Yes, I agree. I tell my students: "There's Bach---and there's everybody else!!"
@@BoulderMamacita Brava!
This is the reason I'll get a H1 in Leaving Cert Music
