After following these performers for years on youtube, we went to hear them perform the Christmas Oratorio in Utrecht and Haarlem. It was wonderful to hear them in person.
0:07 Unser Mund sei voll Lachens (Chor) 6:44 Ihr Gedanken und ihr Sinnen (Arie) 11:18 Dir, Herr, ist niemand gleich (Rezitativ) 11:52 Ach Herr, was ist ein Menschenkind (Arie) 16:19 Ehre sei Gott in der Höhe (Arie) 19:57 Wacht auf, ihr Adern (Arie) 23:45 Alleluja! Alleluja! (Choral)
"Ehre sei Gott" was also used by Bach for the "Virga Jesse floruit" interpolation in the E-flat Magnificat, but arranged for *two sopranos [*edit: actually soprano and bass], rather than soprano and tenor.
What delightfully happy onomatopoeia in opening chorus: “May our mouths be full of laughter and our tongues full of praise. For the Lord has done great things for us.” Such treasure!
@@matteomagurno3068 It was available on the NBS All of Bach website for the past couple of years. Now this absolute gem is reaching the wider audience it so richly deserves.
The music is so beautiful. This music makes my day happy. I want to go to the Netherlands because of your music, and I really want to go there and listen to music in the field. Thank you for your music.
Una verdadera joya a guardar en el corazón y hasta en la retina para comenzar como el coro con grandeza cada día y con la majestuosidad de esta delicia. Mil gracias por compartir tanta belleza. ¡FELICITACIONES!💛💜❤💚💙🌝⚘
16:20 Onwards: what a sublime pairing of those two voices. His mature voice (I suspect a risky choice to the modern ear) lends a woodsy, silky timbre to the melody that seems perfect for her brightness. Honoring the piece beautifully.
Uno nunca termina de descubrir tesoros en Bach. Que haríamos sin el ? Muchas gracias a quienes nos traen su mensaje después de siglos, Van Veldhoven y su gente
Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Kirchenkantate mit gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors und herrlichen Stimmen vierer genialen Solisten sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Originalinstrumente. Der intelligente und gelehrte Dirigent leitet das ebenso ausgezeichnete Barockorchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Alles ist wunderbar!
It is always unfortunate that we cannot hear what JSB, and his audiences could, long ago. However, it seems to me that this group would compete favorably in any time and location. I tend to think that Bach in his Music Heaven is smiling, just like me.
Grazie..... hat recht L.v Beethoven, als sagte jener Mann sollten sich nicht "Bach", sondern Ozean heissen. Sebastian und Ludwig sind die Riese der Musik. Grandi... immensi, universali ! ---
Bravo. Tears of joy for Lucie Chartin in the choir. I'd seen her first in Netherlands Bach Society's _modern_ setting of BWV.211 _aka_ coffee cantata. Search for her name, if you please, to find *a)* a sweet rendition of an aria from Matthäuspassion, with panpipe+accordion accompaniment, *b)* Ophelia's demise from Ambroise Thomas' 1868 opera, "Hamlet", where Miss Chartin is simply mind-blowing. ---Waving from Istanbul.
Thanks for yet another outstanding All of Bach production, perfectly convincing in both musical and technical quality. Dear All of Bach team, may I ask you to forward a technical detail question to your sound engineering colleagues: I can very often see these little vertical microphones, e. g. in the strings section at 0:28. What type of microphone is this? Seems to work well soundwise even in this low position, without obstructing the video too much. Thanks very much in advance!
Исполнение нравится тем, что оно по-современному динамично, в нём нет излишней основательности, но при этом оно - академически точное и убедительное. Спасибо!
Orchestral suites in Church!!!. Oh boy, definitely the Church officials hated Bach for turning the music 🎶 upside down. They didn't know that Bach got that from above
Yes! Bach reused the music from his Orchestral Suite no. 4 in D major, BWV 1069, but added another choir and four soloists to it, to greet the newborn Child in festive spirit. Read more about this cantata on www.bachvereniging.nl/en/bwv/bwv-110/
Gag….countertenor again. What is UP with that?!? Women sound 100% better, and if the snobbish attitude of “original instruments and historic accuracy” is the excuse, then why is there a female soprano?? That argument won’t work as long as boy sopranos and altos aren’t utilized!
So who is conducting and leading the orchestra? Herr van Veldhoven or Sato San? I do find Sato's style of lead violinist very irritating. Sorry if it annoys others but it is my honest view.
What you can see is the first violonist leading the strings as it is mostly usual in every small orchestra, even when there's a conductor. (And if you have to: it's MENEER van Veldhoven, not HERR...) 😉
This was recorded December 17th 2015 at the Grote Kerk, Naarden. (Sato was appointed the 6th artistic director of the Netherlands Bach Society (Nederlandse Bachvereniging) beginning on 1 June 2018, succeeding Jos van Veldhoven).
Ik verkies Jos van Veldhoven als dirigent, beluister altijd eerst het Interviú met Jos omdat hij heel goede achtergrond informate geeft hoe Bach's bedoelingen met zijn muziek te interpreteren en te begrijpen. Hij bezit grote kennis over Bach en dat maakt het beluisteren nadien zoveel meer verrijkend. Dankjewel NBV voor opnieuw een pracht cantate, het is iedere keer genieten van de uitvoering

This group is a treasure to the WORLD!!! The players, the "characters", the venues, the leaders.....
Ha, ha, ha, ha! Van Vedhoven turns this into a great experience. Great playing and great singing! These guys know what Bach sounds like.
Van Veldhoven’s precision and interpretive flair brings out Bach in a way I haven’t heard since the days of Karl Richter. Superb performance!

19:57 Wacht auf, ihr Adern (Arie)
23:45 Alleluja! Alleluja! (Choral)
It is `Allelujah` not ´Hallejuah` thank you ;)
Thank you for the music ❤
Merci.
Gosh these guys play Bach well.
The opening chorus was mighty, majestic, and celebratory. A wonder of creation that made my eyes water.
What a lovely way to begin the day. The opening is reminiscent of one of the orchestral suites
acordar ouvindo , Bach é mesma coisa que acordar ouvindo , pássaros , anjos , num mundo perfeito !
Yes, it's the Overture to Suite No. 4. Bach wasn't averse to reusing good music.
"Ehre sei Gott" was also used by Bach for the "Virga Jesse floruit" interpolation in the E-flat Magnificat, but arranged for *two sopranos [*edit: actually soprano and bass], rather than soprano and tenor.
@@henrygaida7048 actually sopran and bass! ;)
The band is obviously loving it.
What delightfully happy onomatopoeia in opening chorus: “May our mouths be full of laughter and our tongues full of praise. For the Lord has done great things for us.” Such treasure!
Why is this magnificent beauty UNLISTED? Happy Christmas to you all - and thank you!

Glorious music, with fine singers and musicians. What more can we ask for?
Fantastique!!!
Very beautiful Bach performance
Splendid !💐
Fantastic -well done all!always appreciate and enjoy Charles Daniels artistry. He is a real inspiration!
Fantastic to see these people back performing Bach’s Cantatas. They are completely unequalled. The best group and performances by miles.
The music is so beautiful. This music makes my day happy. I want to go to the Netherlands because of your music, and I really want to go there and listen to music in the field. Thank you for your music.
Glorious.
This music from NBS brings me such JOY. Thank you so much for sharing with us! We need this beauty in the world! Keep the music and singing coming. ❤
It is great. I love the drums too
So Beautiful
Fantastisch, wundervoll, erhebend!
Just about as perfect, as wonderful, and as joyous a performance of this stunning cantata as one could wish for. Thank you. ❤️
A real joy to hear such moving music so beautifully performed. Thank you, Joanna Mersey
Bach always delivers! So do these musicians, conductors and Netherlands Bach society. Thank you!
Herr Bach hat Grosses an uns getan!
Wunderbar! You have shaken off the malign effects of lockdown like champions
BRILLIANT!!!
Thank you, Netherlands Bach Society! Your videos are beautiful beyond measure.
So well done! The voices are so angelically beautiful.

I love Charles Daniels's voice.
Majestuosa y bella cantata con algo de handeliano. Me encanta.

Beautiful!
Traumhaft schön !!

Wonderful! I only wish that NBS would rerecord BWV 1069 with trumpets and timpani. Now that would be awesome!
Bravo, thanks, I love Bach, it is music's Messi 🤣
THANK YOU
glad that you haven't uploaded a video of your chorus recently.
She has such an interesting appearance, in a good way
When i first heard it, i thought that i was listening at the 4th orchestral suite
Utter magnificence
ボウイングを見るのが好き。聴いてるだけでは分からない事も多いから。
Спасибо за совершенство!
überirdisch schön und nicht von dieser Welt...
How come I feel I’ve heard ihr gedanken aria’s melody a lot of times?
❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
Wait the 4th orchestral suite has the same beginning!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
De la grâce avant toute chose...
Orchestral suites in Church!!!.
Oh boy, definitely the Church officials hated Bach for turning the music 🎶 upside down. They didn't know that Bach got that from above
