Guy, are you sure it is Wieland Kuijken on the Viola da gamba? I don’t recognise him. Could it be Jaap ter Linden? And who is the lady, playing the other gamba? Who is the bass player?
@@k_b7341 You are wright! The Viola da Gamba player is Jaap ter Linden, not Wieland Kuijken...

@@richardmyron739 I don't agree with you. The Celloist is Anner Bylsma. Here is the comment of this video made by Walter Bitner: "There are many audio recordings and videos of Actus Tragicus available now, but this video made more than forty years ago was one of the first, is still one of the finest, and is of considerable historical significance. It is not exactly the same ensemble that made the audio recording included in Volume 26 of The Complete Cantatas recorded for Teldec, although many of the personnel are the same. Some of the influential musicians involved in this video recording include not only 0:22 director Gustav Leonhardt (1928-2012 - leading pioneer of the historical performance movement). Is that Jaap ter Linden with a beard playing gamba at 0:29? The recorders at 0:49 pair Frans Brüggen (1934-2014), the most influential recorder player in history; and Walter van Hauwe (b. 1948) whose three-volume masterpiece The Modern Recorder Player is the best method for the instrument ever written (I spent many hours with these books in the 1990s and early 2000s). Note also 2:02 Ton Koopman (b. 1944), portativ organ and Anner Bylsma (1934-2019), cello. Decades later, Koopman directed this performance of Actus Tragicus which includes a few of the same musicians. The soloists all give remarkable performances here, and how young they are! 5:18 Marius van Altena (b. 1938), tenor; 7:05 Max von Egmond (b. 1936), bass 12:08 René Jacobs (b. 1946), alto; and 9:22 Mieke van der Sluis, soprano. The choir is superb - warm and supple - and sing with clear yet soft diction through Leonhardt’s gentle tempi. And finally, as if I haven’t given you enough reasons: Mieke’s green eye shadow!" (walterbitner.com/2020/03/31/bwv-106-actus-tragicus/)
A true document which really flatters. The great pioneers unite for an, for that time, non plus ultra performance. The record is nearly 45 years old but shows us where we were at that time. The great teachers unite to show us one more time what they learned from the sources.
This is a superb audiovisual document from almost half of century! This is just gold testimony from some of the best musicians and singers from the late XXth century. Thanks for share this incredible, superb document!
This is the best! So pure, just the music, the text and the spirit of everything together. Incredible thanks to all the musicians, especially to Max van Egmond! R.I.P. Gustav Leonhardt
un bijou sur youtube...Quel plaisir de voir Gustav Leonhardt interpréter une des plus belles cantates de J.S. Bach entouré de Franz Brüggen et Tom Koopman. On retrouve aussi Max van Egmond ainsi que René Jacobs avec son phrasé un peu particulier, très caractéristique. Gustav Leonhardt vous nous manquez beaucoup.
Sincere thanks for this precious document honouring the art of Gustav Leonhardt. I discovered baroque music when I was a boy, thanks to him and to the other artists we can see playing here. Since then, music strongly affected all my life, even if I am not a professional musician. I am proud to have got and grown one seed from the lots Leonhardt left us as an heritage.
what an amazing document, thank you so much for posting this! the first generation of musicians that actually mastered the "historcal performance practise", had almost tears in my eyes listening to my teacher marius, seeing a yound max van egmont and healthy looking frans brueggen, jaap ter linden, ton koopman and had a little laugh at gustav leonhardts "conducting", may he rest in piece, he can be so proud of his input into realizing this music, we've learned so much! thank you, Gutti!
I never get tired to listen to this rendition of my favourite cantata. It's so authentic, so musical and soulful. Let alone the skill of the musicians.... I absolutely adore Max van Egmond. Leonhard concucts from within the music, very moving.
Heute wirst du mit mir im Paradies sein. Ascoltando questa meraviglia si intravede il Paradiso e la morte non spaventa più. Sicuramente questi Grandi sono in Paradiso con Bach e con tutti i Giusti.
Nice to see how much of Leonhardt's personality went into these ensemble performances. It's very skilled conducting, and I like the fact he's seated-much in keeping with the period. I note how beautifully the two recorder-players handle their exposed unison passages: very very hard to do unison duos like that.
Un fiume di commenti!! Tutti profondi conoscitori della musica barocca e del genio Bach. Elogi assoluti agli interpetri. La palestra musicale di Leonhart ha sfornato tanti stumementisti che sono in assoluto i migliori. E poi hanno creato complessi straordinari. Passione, allenamento esercizio. Questa esecuzione di una ispirata composizione di Bach è superba. Una vetta irraggiungibile. Grazie
Another valuable historic video! Fortunately Leonhardt has also recorded BWV106 for the Teldec series. Leonhardt's conducting here is like playing a huge tracker organ - i.e., with immediate action ... and it works wonders! Besides many other things he did, Leonhardt invented a marvellously effective way of directing this type of music. May this wonderful musician rest in peace ... in aeternum.
Je voudrais bien remecier M. de Vries pour nous permettre de voir une si magnifique performance. La qualité d'image et de son est parfaite. Merci, un grand merci
Esta obra la cantamos en Buenos Aires, en el auditorio de Belgrano en junio de 1978, junto al Coro Estable de Rosario, dirigida Cristian Hernandez Larguía. Momento mágico para mi...
Un bel hommage à un des plus grands de la flûte à bec au monde. Sans son enthousiasme et compétence, la flûte à bec serai probablement resté dans les bancs d'école.
@gesualdolistener Not to take anything away from the extraordinary achievements of the late Gustav Leonhardt, but important to note that some 30 years earlier Isolde Ahlgrimm was leading historically informed performances - some of which a much younger Leonhardt attended and was most surely influenced by. Many thanks to @rodevries for posting this wonderful video!

Una versió mai vista. Una meravella digna de lloança, Bach des el cel us ho regraciarà. Segur que ho heu fet com ell ho hauria volgut en vida. Frans Bruggen, René Jacobs, Gustav Laonhard què més voleu?

Il tempo di Dio è il tempo migliore. “In Lui viviamo, ci muoviamo ed esistiamo, finché Egli vuole”. In lui moriamo nel momento giusto, quando Egli lo vuole. Ach, Herr, “lehre uns bedenken, daß wir sterben müssen, auf daß wir klug werden”. Ah, Signore, “insegnaci a ricordare che dobbiamo morire affinché diventiamo saggi”. “Bestelle dein Haus; denn du wirst sterben und nicht lebendig bleiben”. “Metti ordine nella tua casa, perché morirai e non rimarrai in vita”. “Es ist der alte Bund: Mensch, du mußt sterben!” “Questa è l'antica Legge: uomo, tu devi morire!” “Ja, komm, Herr Jesu, komm!” “Sì, vieni, Signore Gesù, vieni!” “In deine Hände befehl ich meinen Geist; du hast mich erlöset, Herr, du getreuer Gott”. “Nelle tue mani affido il mio spirito; Tu mi hai liberato, Signore, Dio fedele”. “Heute wirst du mit mir im Paradies sein”.

Am I wrong or was that a younger Ton Koopman playing the continuo??? Excellent performance by the Master, Leonhardt, of the Master's(Bach) music. Thank you very much for this!!!
+Blightyish, I 'm glad we have a real expert here. BTW, Koopman never took over. If you don't like his style, listen to Herreweghe or any other baroque performer. You may listen to recordings by Richter or even Mengelberg for all I care.
+wkruit Yes, I agree, I would at any time much rather listen to Herreweghe or Leonhardt or, especially the incomparable Karl Richter. As an organ soloist Koopman is just ridiculous. As a harpsichord player he is tolerable.By the way, this Actus Tragicus is by far the most moving I have ever come across in my life. It's a glimpse into Heaven.
En aquesta gravació tan magnífica hi són tots els que es dediquen (o es dedicaven) a la música antiga: Leonhardt ja mort, fent de director; Franz Brüggen a la flauta de bec i Ton Koopman a l'orgue positiu. I la resta amb en René Jacobs i Max van Egmond....
gibt es eine andere Musik, die derart bis in die Tiefen der Seele vordringt? Töne, die innerste Saiten anklingen lassen? Ich bin fasziniert und zutiefst dankbar für diese Interpretation.

Actually, I believe they are copies of Bizey at A392 made by the late Fred Morgan. All extant Stanesby Sr altos are around A405 give or take and Stanesby Jr A408-410 or so.

Exceptionnelle et magnifique interprétation. Même dans une cantate funèbre, Bach n'est jamais triste, il va toujours de l'avant, vers la Lumière.

Lovely - recorders in Eb
The two alto recorders in F are probably copies of Stanesby and the pitch is for sure at La = 392 Hz.
Actually, I believe they are copies of Bizey at A392 made by the late Fred Morgan. All extant Stanesby Sr altos are around A405 give or take and Stanesby Jr A408-410 or so.
his is THE rendition, for many reasons
thanks!
