Van Veldhoven's music is suave, smooth and unctuous, no matter what piece he interprets. He creates music that makes me drift like a dove gliding in high airs. I am then in a trance carried by the winds wherever they take me. Thank you NBS for making all videos free. This is not only a treat, but true medication as well.
Comme toujours cet orchestre et les chanteurs sont divins. the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bachi is perhaps the best baroque orchestra in the world ! CHAPEAU !
There,s no way to end the day than with a Feast of JSBach.The challenges of the day just melt away and I am left in a calm and ,blissfull state ,ready to sleep the night away.! Elaine, S Wales.
❤ Vielen Dank fur die wundervollen Kantaten, die mit den schonsten Engelsliedern und Orchestern aus dem offenen Himmel fur die verstándlichste und spirituellste Welt ohne Grenzen erklingen .
When you think "it's impossible to write something as beautiful the Sinfonia" and then Bach hits you with the long alto aria "Wo zwei und drei versammelt sind"...
I couldn't agree with you more. Before the digital age I lived in an old century farm house. Our alarm clock was an analog Christmas lights timer rigged up to the Brandenburgs on the turntable. All spun through the resident rock band's stage sound system. Bach physically rumbling the floors. No grander way to jump out of bed.
Каждый из исполнителей - бриллиант в ожерелье NBS. Бах порадовался бы, услышав в вашем исполнении свою музыку, как радуемся ей и все мы. Спасибо, что вы есть.
Eduardo Poblete de Chile, que belleza desde la sinfonía es gloria del arte del más grande de los músicos, el ser humano queda empequeñecido ante tanta belleza, no dejo de impresionarme ante está maravilla, estoy muy emocionado. La escuché por Gerald Lesne pero este contratenor es muy bueno....que gran director para una gran orquesta....muy agradecido por este maravilloso aporte....y un abrazo fraterno desde Chile....
many viewers may be unaware that this could be a once in a lifetime opportunity. The Netherlands Bach Society may be without peer, their videographers do not lag behind. By any objective evaluation JS Bach represents one of the apogees of human culture.
Absolutely brilliant. Love the NBS. Never fails to bring JOY and make me smile. Would love to hear them live. What a gift to the musical world they are. As is JS Bach of course. Wonderful combination. A divine gift to humanity. Thank you. Fliss G
Once the Sinfonia started, I just couldn’t click away. Something about this music sucked me in and captured my full attention, just fascinating and awesome.
This week my philosophy of education class was discussing the nature of a good society. I asked them to listen to the last movement of this cantata, as a prayer. I was pleasantly surprised by the number who appreciated the task, some even listened to the whole cantata.
This is the best performance of the Aria "Wo zwei und drei versammlet sind" I`ve ever heard. A wonderful countertenor and an unbelievable orchestre. Thank you so much !
Yes, and while Alex Potter is a wonderful male alto, Irene Friedli’s alto voice cannot be surpassed in the Bachstiftung rendition, deep and rich. But she hasn’t sung with them since-one does wonder why….
Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Kantate mit gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Originalinstrumente sowie herrlichen Stimmen vierer genialen Solisten. Der erfahrene und gelehrte Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Barockensemble im gut betrachteten Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Alles ist perfekt!
I completely agree, I was about to make a comment, but I didnt find the word "bassoon". In Sweden we call that instrument "fagott", but I was clever enough to understand that this word has another meaning in english (!). So now I have learned something. The word bassoon.
Hej@@staffanolofsson8201, Everyone calls the bassoon fagott or some variant of it. It comes from the Italian word for "bundle of sticks" in Italian -- fagotto. The English took bassoon from a later French and Italian variant for "large bass," bassone, but the Italian word for bassoon is still fagotto. Very strange.
@@DarrenBush The "bundle of sticks" meaning of _fagotto_ didn't come into general use until after that term was already being applied to the bassoon. Both the bassoon and its predecessor the dulcian are known in Italy as _fagotto,_ but neither instrument is made from, or even resembles, a bundle of sticks. In fact, the dulcian is carved from a single block of wood. The word _bassoon_ is related to the French _basson_ and the Italian _bassone._
Der wundervolle Choral wird wundervoll gesungen. Unvergesslich! In seiner innigen Intensität unerreicht von anderen(durchaus guten) Interpreten. Danke!
I can't stop listening to the final choral. It fills me with such peace and tranquility, and it is tonally so beautiful. It feels Bach is deliberately using archaic compositional techniques that predate him at least by a hundred years such as the figuration in the final "Amen" cadence -- what a joy and exactly what I would want from a 'dona nobis pacem' (which this is the German version of).
This was unknown to me, but now it is known. And loved. A cantata with so much genius in it, and with the orchestra and the singers at their top. Thank you NBS.
I'm absolutely obsessed with verzage nicht - the rythm is just so classy! makes me wanna dance to the rythm in a big palace while holding some fine wine!
I agree, it's incredible. But I like this Capella Sollertia version ruclips.net/video/BLrcp7hrzG0/видео.htmlsi=lkYOjNp8PGZyl5SQ even more. It's spikier, even more zig-zaggy.
Beyond superb..I do believe that this group of musicians are the best I have ever heard, dare I say, comparable to/but different to the Simon Preston/Trevor Pinnock recordings of the 80's/90's. I love the relaxed feeling and naturally flowing musicality exuded by the conductor and performers..no power play controls which one finds displayed by certain contemporary English conductors! which get in the way of the listener's enjoyment.
Listening to this wonderful and for me unknown Cantata is like coming home to a cool place after a day with too much heat and agony and frustration. Thank you Netherland Bach Society! Your music always makes my soul recover. And I find this to be a great Cantata and specially love the oboes in this. But all the the singers and musicians are of course world class!
A wonderful rendition of this sublime piece - but for me, the most magical moment is the tension-filled silence at 3.54-55 before the Sinfonia da capo.
Observing the 272nd commemorative anniversary of the great Master’s passing by listening to this, one of my favorite Cantatas. The Sinfonia alone is perfection, but the solo and ensemble vocal writing is transcendent. 🎶❤️ #jsbach
This was a truly superb performance.As FlissG remarked .."what a remarkable combination is the NBS and our Divine Bach" It,s been a v.sad year with the loss of my dear husband...but listening to these gems brings me close to him in spirit. THANKYOU NBS for all you do to make us happy.!

While NBS is always superb, Concentus Musicus Wien recording of this work remains my personal favorite. I think it's their distinct concerto grosso approach of the sinfonia; also exhibited by the NBS - but I am prejudiced by an early obsession with CMW's recorded performance. This aspect is enhanced by the camerawork in the respective videos, as well. The sinfonia seems like the gathering of the twelve in one room, with their diverse personalities, entering into intense conversation over the most momentous event in history.

I love how the musicians in this series acknowledge and appreciate each other.
When you think "it's impossible to write something as beautiful the Sinfonia" and then Bach hits you with the long alto aria "Wo zwei und drei versammelt sind"...
So true!
I believe “Wo zwei und drei” may be one of the longest single movements Bach ever wrote.
@@Gregorius24 The man was an animal.
"Wo" not "Zo."
There is no better way to start the day than with Bach! 💗

Fantastiskt framförande av alla medverkande- jag slutar aldrig att förvånas över Alex Potters klara stämma! Underbart!❤
This is the best performance of the Aria "Wo zwei und drei versammlet sind" I`ve ever heard. A wonderful countertenor and an unbelievable orchestre. Thank you so much !
I agree, and lucky for us it is a very long aria, more then 12 minutes.
...hay mezzosopranos y contraltos que cantan con voz natural.-somos muchos los que no soportamos los llamados contratenores
