Bach - Cantata Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland BWV 61 - Van Veldhoven | Netherlands Bach Society
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
- 'Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland', performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, is filled with special effects, which is probably due to the young age at which Bach composed the work. In the daring opening section, Bach combines the ancient Advent melody 'Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland' with a French royal overture that would have sounded at home in Louis XIV’s palace of Versailles. Such an overture was played as the king entered, which is very fitting for the reading on the first Sunday of Advent, when Jesus enters Jerusalem as a king riding on a donkey.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on November 30th 2013 at the Walloon Church, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB or consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
The English subtitling for this cantata was sponsored by the American Bach Society. The translation was made by Daniel R. Melamed and Michael Marissen. For an annotated version of the text and translation, see bachcantatatexts.org/BWV61.htm.

You ARE my cultural experience in 2020. Grateful.
Never heard the "Öffne dich" aria in such a beautiful way! Every time again a heavenly pleasure!
SO GOOD. The Siehe Ich Recitative is so daring it feels completely contemporary
This is simply a masterpiece. Never have I heard such expressive and captivating recitatives!
Absolutely agreed! By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand. I feel myself like a sort of non-official ambassador for his music - and, effectively, also one of his few supporters. He is very, very talented. You won't be disappointed. ruclips.net/user/WFerdinand
I hope you mean recitatives by Bach, and not specifically to these singers’ interpretations! Not only are Bach’s recitatives heartfelt and expressive, they also tend to be difficult to sing, as well, so when the individual arias are performed separately from the cantatas, the recitatives are usually omitted. The arias are even _more_ difficult to sing!
Offne dich - absolutely beautiful!
I just can't believe it ! Simply out of this world.
Every Advent Season needs to start with this cantata.
2nd Advent: BWV 62
3rd Advent: BWV 36
4th Advent: BWV 132
Quell'aria per soprano col violoncello e l'organo è cantata e suonata con una tale umiltà, bravura e partecipazione che Bach ne sarà certo felicissimo!
Io, nel frattempo, piango
It is a special joy now when you release another cantata performance. I hope you have a few new ones left to get us through this awful period when gatherings are impossible. I hope you are able to resume recording additional cantatas in the near future! What you have done is beyond praise.
Eigentlich bedarf auch die BWV 61 kein Kommentar denn die Referenz steht außer jeder Kritik. Man kann sich dem Ensemble hingeben in der Gewissheit dass hier der meist ursprüngliche Bach auf jemanden zu kommt. Sowohl das Instrumental- als auch das Vokalensemble sowie die Solisten und natürlich Jos van Veldhoven sind einsame Spitze. Ein Genuss das Ensemble zu hören und zu sehen. Beeindrückend finde ich immer der Eröffnungschor mit der sich daraus ergebenden Sehnsucht nach dem Heiden Heiland, so wie auch die Kantate heißt.
I really thank you for posting these wonderful clips; always excellent and bring tears to my eyes
(Bach always does!)
I can absolutely understand! By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand. I feel myself like a sort of non-official ambassador for his music - and, effectively, also one of his few supporters. He is very, very talented.

You ARE my cultural experience in 2020. Greatful
"Siehe, siehe..." The most interesting recitativo ever... beautifully performed.
Bach tiene la virtud đe conectarnos con Dios. Su música es un reposo espiritual. Disfrutemos đe ella para la mayor gloria de Dios.m
Totalmente de acuerdo, Gonzalo. Por cierto, recomiendo la apreciación del trabajo de un compositor clásico vivo, dedicado sobre todo a la música sacra. Tiene muchísimo talento, no te decepcionará. De hecho, me veo como un embajador de su música desde hace unos meses. Además del talento, me encanta su devoción. Saludos cordiales! ruclips.net/user/WFerdinand
That first movement is just a masterpiece! Such an unusual tune from Bach. Love the whole thing.
The hymn tune, “Nun Komm, der Heiden Heiland” (“Savior of the nations, come”) isn’t unusual for Bach at all! The words were written by Martin Luther, with the melody based on the Latin plainchant, “Veni redemptor gentium.” Bach used this hymn tune for this cantata; for a short chorale prelude for organ (from his “Little Organ Book,” or “Orgelbüchlein,” one of his best known organ pieces); and _twice_ in his famous set of 18 chorale preludes for organ. This cantata is very popular for both professional and amateur choirs, as well.
And in the French ouverture style. Absolute marvelous. Incredible this music is even feasible.
Besonders wunderbar die Arie mit der begnadeten Cellistin Lucia Swarts. Danke für diese Einspielung 2020 erst. Oder gerade in der anderen Adventszeit. Freude kommt ins Herz ❤
Is there a better baroque soprano singing today than Zsuzsi Toth? I cannot imagine ... a voice for the ages!
Bravo and Soli Deo Gloria!!
Amen! Soli Deo Gloria! By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand. I feel myself like a sort of non-official ambassador for his music - and, effectively, also one of his few supporters. He is very, very talented.

Kummer und Sorgen gehabt. Traurig und ärgerlich gewesen. Diese wunderbare Aufnahme einer wunderbaren Kantate gehört. Danach wieder zufrieden gewesen.
Vielen Dank für's Teilen💖! Auf diese Kantate habe ich schon so gehofft!!!☺️
Sehr schön musiziert, besonders beeindruckend das Bass-Rezitativ.
Great release once more. Thanks for every Bach cantata that comes along.
Merci pour cette magnifique interprétation !
Another beautiful & instructive performance. Thank you for all that you’ve done.
Always exceptional performance from this magnificent society!
Amo essa cantata. ❤
Such a beautifully performed work!
Masterfully performed!! ☺
hoor dankzij jullie zoveel meer prachtige Bach dan ik kende. dank.
Ik ook, ontdekte in het begin van de coronacrisis de NBS en geniet van alle Bach composities en vooraf beluister ik altijd de uitleg van Jos van Veldhoven over de desbetreffende compositie. Zeer instructief en daardoor erf waardevol
Rigtig dejlig og smuk musik og nogle flotte solopræstationer.....
Beautiful!
Fantastic performance. I'm never disappointed by NBS! Such a poignant rendition of this masterful piece! Thank you Bach and thank you NBS!
Så spänstigt och fint spel av den kvinnliga cellisten 🎉
Een aangename verrassing vond ik om tussen de solisten en het koor verschillende zangers van Vox Luminis te treffen 👏👏
Amazing performed so beautifully
Thank you🍃NBS
C'est beau !
Wonderful...
High quality of sound
good musical experience
Awesome. Inspiring.
Bravi. Thank you.
Agreed, John. By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand.

@@hectorderivas1221 Thank you for the suggestion Hector. Do you listen to any Schnittke? The Requiem is available on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/icNHpzt2JzA/видео.html
It may seem strange and demanding, but it reminds us that all artists are individuals who step outside the boundaries of their society even though they draw on tradition.
Großartig!
sooo good
0:07 1. Ouverture
Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland,
Der Jungfrauen Kind erkannt,
Des sich wundert alle Welt,
Gott solch Geburt ihm bestellt.
Now come, Saviour of the Gentiles,
Known as the Virgin’s Child;
All the world marvels that
God has ordained for Him such a birth.
3:11 2. Recitativo
Der Heiland ist gekommen,
Hat unser armes Fleisch und Blut
An sich genommen
Und nimmet uns zu Blutsverwandten an.
O allerhöchstes Gut! O supreme Good!
Was hast du nicht an uns getan?
Was tust du nicht
Noch täglich an den Deinen?
Du kömmst und läßt dein Licht
Mit vollem Segen scheinen.
The Saviour has come;
Our poor flesh and blood
He has taken upon Himself
And accepts us as blood relations.
What have You not done for us?
What do You not do
Still daily for Your people?
You come and let Your Light
Shine with full Blessing.
4:33 3. Aria
Komm, Jesu, komm zu deiner Kirche
Und gib ein selig neues Jahr!
Befördre deines Namens Ehre,
Erhalte die gesunde Lehre Maintain sound doctrine,
Und segne Kanzel und Altar! And bless pulpit and altar!
Come, Jesus, come to Your Church
And grant us a blessed New Year!
Promote the honour of Your name,
Maintain sound doctrine,
And bless pulpit and altar!
9:30 4. Recitativo
Siehe, ich stehe vor der Tür und klopfe
an. So jemand meine Stimme hören wird
und die Tür auftun, zu dem werde ich
eingehen und das Abendmahl mit ihm
halten und er mit mir.’
‘See, I stand before the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the
door, I will go in to him and have supper
with him and he with me.’
10:41 5. Aria
Öffne dich, mein ganzes Herze,
Jesus kömmt und ziehet ein.
Bin ich gleich nur Staub und Erde,
Will er mich doch nicht verschmähn,
Seine Lust an mir zu sehn,
Daß ich seine Wohnung werde.
O wie selig werd ich sein!
Open, my whole heart:
Jesus comes and moves in.
Though I am but dust and earth,
Yet He would not disdain
To find His pleasure in me,
So that I become His dwelling.
Oh, how blessed I shall be!
15:23 6. Chorale
Amen, amen!
Komm, du schöne Freudenkrone, bleib nicht lange!
Deiner wart ich mit Verlangen.
Amen, amen!
Come, you fair crown of joy, do not delay for long!
I await you with longing.
¡Soli Deo Gloria!
First performed on december 2d, 1714, give or take a day ! :-)
The opening choral is wonderful...What a genius invention to combine this old churchtune with the type of french ouverture ....
Bach never was one of my favourite composers, but this is so great.....
He does it in BWV 20 as well, another great cantata.
@@lauterunvollkommenheit4344 in the entrance choir?
I don't know if the vocalpart here is based on a churchtune as well....could be , in it's simplicity.
But there is no typical doubelpointed style of a "french ouverture" in the orchestra.
@@aronb1336 Yes, in the opening chorus. You can't miss it. Which recording are you listening to?
@@lauterunvollkommenheit4344
the same conductor and ensemble...
and i had a look on the score. I'm sorry....this reminds me of "weihnachtsoratorium" ;) ....
@@aronb1336 Could you give me an URL?
Maravilhosa!!,sublime!!👏👏👏🇧🇷
What a soprano!!!
She is Szuszi Tòth. An angel voice. An what a cellist !
BRAVISIMO! BELLÍSIMA EJECUCIÓN DIRIGIDA MAGISTRALMENTE MAESTRO
VAN VELDHOVEN ERES UN GENIO. VOCES EXTRAORDINARIAS INSTRUMENTOS
MARAVILLOSOS. GRACIAS DESDE MÉXICO.

Muito lindo
Mal wieder geht mir das Herz auf, und ich werde fröhlich. Immer wieder einen Grund zum Freuen.
Ganz herzlichen Dank!
WOW
Wouldn't be better to add some additional seconds between the intro and the video? The sound of the intro is still fading when the players start playing in every of your videos... Thanks! :)
And of course thank you for your constant work to upload, especially in this time where we can't enjoy live concerts (and concerts of such quality were rare even before March...).
Ich habe Euch geliebt
Katharina
Looks like a lot of Vox Luminis are helping out there... definitely Zsuzsi and Lionel and I think I can see some others too...
Nicht zu spät, wenn Gott Liebe ist, Danke, Mit Tränen gesät, mit Tränen geerntet, so freue ich mich an diesen freudigen Gesichtern.
Nachdenklich
Und verlasse zfp em zu Wegen, nach Tübingen
Unterthänigst scardanelli schrieb Hölder
Katharina Scharlowski , Du , you who is concerned, weisst ich habe Dich geliebt.
Habe Du es gut, Gott Segne Dich.
K.
On dirait bien que plusieurs chanteurs de Vox Luminis chantent dans cette chorale, dont le directeur Lionel Meunier! 👍👏👏
Oui, en effet... comme moi aussi je viens d'écrire!
Gesungen ist zweimal gebetet (M. Luther).
... 😁👌👍🙏....!!!!!!....
Just a short comment; I do not quite understand the last part of the text-introduction; as far as I remember from my Bible, Jesus did not ride into Jerusalem on a donkey the first day of Advent, but on Palm Sunday. It is also a little odd using the image in the context of Advent, as the very concept of Advent is to await His birth...
AUCH ENTHALTEN IM FRAGMENT,
KATHARINA SCHARLOWSKI
GRACIAS
Proset tassew! Grazzi.
some notes are too low for this tenor...
No. None of notes are too low for this tenor. The tenor parts only go down to the tenor low C.
This is my favorite Bach cantata. Average performance. Stiff. Pitchand tempo problems
