Berührend, zu Tränen rührend! Weitab von den Unbilden des Lebens im Jahre 2023. Und doch weit hereinreichend. So lange es diese Musik gibt, können wir den Widrgkeiten dieser Zeit widerstehen - dem alten Drachen trotzen. Wie Tröstlich. Ich wünsche, dass sich viele Menschen unserer Zeit, die verzweifeln mögen, davon trösten und aufrichten lassen.
Die Kantate "begleitet" mich die Tage. Ich denke an die Situation in der Welt, die Hybris der Menschen, die fehlende Demut, den Egoismus, ... und wünschte, man möge sich auf das besinnen, was Bach hier schrieb ...
One of the many things I love about the Netherlands Bach Society's concerts is being able to feast on the architectural features of the various churches in which the performances take place, which is only fitting for Bach's music.
A fantastic performance. The precision, the clarity, the expression, the ensemble. Just wonderful! Your videos are a source of constant joy to me. Thank you.
I always come to this cantata whenever I feel at my lowest. This is Good giving us a glimpse of his beauty and love through the music of Bach. I thank God for his existence and the many hours this music has come like a prayer whenever I feel bad.
@@romanbotero8734 my personal faith has been largly lost.through 30 years of serving the church through music..this music however makes me want my faith back..in the worst way..
Thanking the clouds doesn't do any justice to the author of this music and to one of the greatest achievement of our species. Gods and goddesses are the equivalent of Dumbo's feather: useless. And the fact that Bach was a sincerely devout Lutheran is irrelevant to the greatness of his music, albeit not to his motivation, inspiration and doctrinal aspects.
I once had the honor and pleasure of singing this tenor part ( Meine Seele Wartet Auf Den Herrn) in a concert given in Connecticut. It is a work of such profound grace, mystery, and speaks to me of feelings that only Bach would understand.
I have listened to this over and over, and the more I listen the more I like it. I am totally impressed by the presentation of the ensemble's superb singing and accompaniment. I especially like the 2nd movement, in which Mr. Berndt conveys the deepest penitence without being overly sentimental.
I have often rivisited the many Bach's cantatas performed by NBS and the deeper I go into them the more I appreciate these remarkable renditions from the technical and the emotional point of view. Thank you so much for taking the love of music so seriously and professionally.
I'm shocked how gentle that is from 10:00. I always imagine Bach as a healthy, strong, very positive man with firm believe, but he is also extremely sensitive.....a true magic.
I'm sitting here, trying to work, editing photographs for a commission, listening to this, and I don't mind admitting I'm in bits, as they say! Knowing that my father, Stephen Wilkinson MBE b. 1919, is in the very last days of his life, 150 miles away, at home. At the age of 101 he's had a long, family life, and worked as a musician, choral conductor, composer, with a particular love for Bach and Byrd. He was even working until quite recently, as well as still trying figure out 3-part Inventions! Thankfully, this sudden turn in his health is not C19 related; although C19 has preculded visits, he is comfortable and peaceful. This cantata, this performance, as indeed much of what NBS produces, is deeply moving, and at this particular moment in time has knocked me for a six, but in a personaly painful, but ultimately helpful, healing way! Thank you :)
Thoughts with you and your father's family. What a distinguished life of service to music and music-making! I hope you are able to be there with him and comforting each other as rules on locking down and isolation change.
For this incredible, and almost inconceivably profound piece of music to have been written by a lad just a couple months past the age of 22, really makes one wonder. Anyone who ever doubted that J.S. Bach was a true genius, and a very unique gift to humankind, needs to ponder this...several times over...and then some. There must have been at least a few folks in the audience then that were suddenly struck dumb with the sheer power, weight, and majesty of what they'd just heard, and experienced. An awe inspiring and auspicious event for sure. // This is another great NBS production and performance...I especially love the placement of the vocalists. NBS, never cease...ever.
The moment the Chorale is being sung through the aria i always have to cry, because devine perfection is being reached in composition, tho Oboe, the continuo, the lead singer all go their own way individually and create immense beauty, suddenly are melted together by the chorale melody...... and i melt
Великолепный концерт и прекрасные голоса, которые интерпретируют музыку маэстро Баха. Потрясающее исполнение, музыкальный восторг. Спасибо вам всегда за то, что поделились этим музыкальным гением со всеми нами.
Ich harre den herrn makes me just cry buckets everytime i hear it...the most profound and beautiful expression of inconsolable grief i think i have ever heard
Klar, bewegt und tief bewegend ohne jede Sentimentalität. Klanglich fein ausgewogen. Der Kontrast Solisten/ Chor, der hier fehlt, würde aber selbst bei einem kleinen Chor dem Klangbild etwas mehr Profil verleihen.
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser kompakten und perfekt komponierten Kantate mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt vereinigten Tönen aller historischen Instrumente sowie himmlischen Stimmen vierer genialen Solisten. Der erfahrene Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Ensemble im gut phrasierten Tempo und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Erstaunlich, dass die authentische Tradition der deutschen Barockmusik nun in den Niederlanden besser konserviert ist!
I love these men and women. Great singers and wonderful instrumentalists. The Netherlands Bach Society should be awarded a special Nobel Prize for exceptional excellence. I have never heard such humanity, such exquisite perfection, such modesty of presentation. I have loved Bach all my life, so to discover this work after all these years - is astonishing to me.
I am a simple American but I love this! I wish I knew what type of pitch the gentlemen is singing in the middle. In my mind I do wonder why this music is not as popular as the big stars now. I mean those singers and musicians here in the video are extremely perfectionist as well as conductor.
Thank you so much for these super excellent performances. This channel is a treasure. I don't know of anything else that makes me feel the way this Cantata and video makes me feel 🙏
Despite how early in Bach's career he composed this beautifully intense cantata, it surely seems among his very greatet Cantatas - and I'm familiar with several dozen.
Thank you so much, NBS! Finally my favourite Bach cantata! I've listened to it easily over a hundred times in the past two years and I still can't believe it. Even for Bach's incomparably high standard this is on a whole different level of genius, utterly precious and ... 10:02 heartbreakingly beautiful!
You are absolutely right!!! Generally speaking Bach's music is of an incredible level of quality and craftmanship, but there are so many moments in his compositions, where he touches levels of depth and inspiration that are difficult to comprehend. This Cantata is one of these moments. Finally he was in his early twenties when he composed this masterpiece!!!
“[T]he best proof we have that life is good, and therefore that there may perhaps be a God after all who has our welfare at heart, is that to each of us, on the day we are born, comes the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. It comes as a gift, unearned, unmerited, for free.” Coetzee, Diary of a Bad Year
Sublime esecuzione!! Questa cantata e questa esecuzione fanno gioire e soffrire! Non si riesce a non essere coinvolti dal coro: Ich harre del Herr! Solo Dei Gloria!
NBS, thank you for producing and capturing so many immaculate performances. I've been listening to this particular cantata since it was released. I'm not religious, but it really gives you a spiritual experience. Such a masterpiece.
How wonderful to hear some very early Bach. This is a cantata that I have not paid too much attention to, sadly. I shall be returning to this work and this performance often. The overwhelming melancholy pulls at the heart. The light scoring of the work is very pleasing and I was pleased to notice the camera showing us the Bassist and especially the theorbo and to hear the instruments so clearly. As one wag once said: remember the lute; It looks nice.
Für mich die ergreifendste, beste und seelenvollste Aufnahme einer der schönsten Bach-Kantaten! Dorothee Mields, Charles Daniels und auch alle anderen: Sie sind die Besten! Danke allen Beteiligten von ganzem Herzen!
The ending is not a plagal cadence (which would be iv-i, i.e. dfa ace). It is an old phrygian mode cadence (vii6-I, bflat-d-g ac#e). It got transformed during the 18th century into what we now call half cadence (iv-V).
It is believed that Bach wrote this deeply moving cantata in the early days of June in 1707 after the devastating fire of Mühlhausen. With the entire town and two churches burned to the ground, some scholars imagine that it was first performed open air ... surrounded by the smouldering ruins of what was left of the town. Whether Bach himself lost loved ones is unknown, but countless died on that tragic night: Stadtarchiv Mühlhausen, handschriftliche Chronik der Stadt Mühlhausen, Sign. 61/19, S. 566: Anno 1707 d. 30 Maij (den Montag nach Rogate, oder den Montag vor Himmelfahrt) entstund allhier zu Mühlhausen des Abends [seitlich eingefügt: auf dem Kornmarckt an der Rathsgaße Ecke in der Harbe,] ein erschrecklicher Brand oder Feuers-Brunst, welcher von halb 10 Uhr bis den 31 Maij frühe um 6 uhr dauerte, dardurch der dritte Theil dieser guten Stadt an 300 Wohn-Häusern nebst Scheuern u. Ställen, jämmerlich in die Asche gelegt worden, u. hatte es viel ehrliche Leüte, welche Anno 1689 den großen Brand erlitten, dießmals wieder betroffen, es war erschrecklich anzusehen gewesen, wie die Flammen durch einen starcken Wind getrieben so geschwind die gebäude niedergelegt u. verzehrt. Und dieses war nun in 50 Jahren der 4te große Brand, unter welchen der Anno 1689 der erschrecklichste gewesen, darinnen 32 heile, bis auf 200 Gebäude, in wenig Stunden damals niedergeleget worden. Stadtarchiv Mühlhausen, Fragmente einer Chronik 1533-1802, Sign. 61/18, Blatt 93v: Den 30ten Maij des Abends um 10 Uhr ist auf dem Korn Marckte an der Raths-Gaßen Ecken ein Feüer aus kommen, welches in kurtzer Zeit den gantzen Korn Marckt einnahm, dieweil die Bürger eben zurselbigen Zeit im ersten Schlaffe waren, ehe nun dieselbigen zum Feuer kamen, ward es, so groß, daß es nicht zu Löchen war, denn es Brante von der Raths Gaße an die folchte Gaßen auf einer Seiten, (2) die Barrfüßer Gaße 3) die Linsen Gaße bis an den Korn-Marckt, 4) Unter den Nußbaum 5) Die Göllners Gaße, 6) Die Viehgaßen 7) Die Kurtze Görmar Gaßen alle, 8) Die gr[oße].

I directed the middle chorus for our church choir years ago. Layer upon layer of exquisite beauty! Clearly God inspired. What a magnificent performance to hear on this Day of Atonement.
Superb! Thank you. My first time listening to this Cantata performed by anyone. So glad it's you, though! ...and absolutely spirit-lifting for me during these early days of UK COVID lockdown...thinking of you guys over there, too! :) Stay safe.
Thank u for all of Bach! Through this I am finding so many Bach pieces which I haven't known before. Like this one it's absolutely gorgeous! And as always are your interpretations of the pieces the best ones out there.

The best ending ever. Don't know the technical term for it. But been loving Bach for years now.
Yes! and it is echoed by the passage 13:00 - 13:10.
A plagal cadence in both cases.
The ending is not a plagal cadence (which would be iv-i, i.e. dfa ace). It is an old phrygian mode cadence (vii6-I, bflat-d-g ac#e). It got transformed during the 18th century into what we now call half cadence (iv-V).
Exquisite music to raise the spirit s in these dark times
Bach m'a fait croire en Dieu... Merci
Oh that chorus at 9:24 with its ever-renewing slow suspensions!
Perfectly done, it's a very deep text, it has a deeply humility
This is so beautiful, again I hear something from JSB that I never heard before (I thought) and it stuns me - thank you for the wonderful performance

Great voices. I especially like the male alto (countertenor). Very moving. Bravi tutti!
I directed the middle chorus for our church choir years ago. Layer upon layer of exquisite beauty! Clearly God inspired. What a magnificent performance to hear on this Day of Atonement.
Superb! Thank you.
My first time listening to this Cantata performed by anyone. So glad it's you, though!
...and absolutely spirit-lifting for me during these early days of UK COVID lockdown...thinking of you guys over there, too! :) Stay safe.
Thanks a lot NBS! As usual its a perfect moment f music
Thanks for such a great gift!
Thank u for all of Bach!
Through this I am finding so many Bach pieces which I haven't known before. Like this one it's absolutely gorgeous! And as always are your interpretations of the pieces the best ones out there.
el minuto 20:30 es increíble. Me llena el alma. Es hermoso, espero seguir teniendo el privilegio de escucharte toda la vida.
Just beautiful. Thank you.
Supernally breath-taking. The heavenly cantata raises us to the wellspring Source from whence it came.
Beautiful!
ugh how i miss live music
Fabulous!
