Beautifully done video, Robert! And gorgeous music making! I don't feel so bad about missing the concert now. This video certainly brightened up a cold, dark afternoon in Texas! Thank you!!
That's the kind of blend you want between strings and continuo. Clearly a wonderful space for Bach's cantatas. It's actually a wonderful treat to have performers more at ease here and I credit the idea to upload a rehearsal.
Could this delightful work have been performed at Bach's own wedding? It's not entirely improbable. Wonderful performance by V.L. Thank you for posting.
This beautiful Kantate was dedicated by Bach to Stauber who celebrated his wedding with Maria Barbara.As for the style we note that Bach adopted the forms of the Opera and Chamber italian Kantate
Vox Luminis, founded in 2004 in Namur, Belgium, is an ensemble specialising in the performance of 16th - 18th century vocal music. The ensemble has been praised for its seamless blend of high quality individual voices, exquisite tuning and clarity of sound. Critics have also commented on the ensemble’s enthusiasm in sharing its passion for early music with an audience. The majority of the group met at one of the most significant centers for early music in Europe: the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. Vox Luminis has performed in festivals and venues in Belgium (Nuits de Septembre de Liège, festival de Stavelot, Juillet Musical de Saint-Hubert, Automne Musical de Spa, MA festival Bruges, festival van Vlanderen Gent, Laus Polifoniae Antwerpen, festival des midi-Minimes, Eté Musical de Roisin, Société Philharmonique de Namur…); France (festival d’Ambronay, festival de Saintes, Rencontres Musicales de Vézelay, festival de Saint-Michel en Thiérarche, Midsummer festival d’Hardelot, festival Contrepoint 62, Festival Musique et Mémoire de Luxeuil, Musique et Natures en Bauges, festival Bach en Combrailles…); Germany (Ratingen Bachtage festival, Muziekfest Stuttgart); The Netherlands (Oude Muziek Utrecht, Den Haag, Delft); Portugal (Centro Cultural Bélem-Lisbon) and Croatia (Varazdin Baroque Evenings). Vox Luminis records exclusively for the Belgian Label Ricercar. The ensemble’s first CD, released at the end of 2007, features four vocal works by Domenico Scarlatti, including his famous 10-part Stabat Mater. In May 2010 the ensemble released its second album, Samuel Scheidt: Sacrae Cantiones, which features several world premieres. Vox Luminis’ most recent CD, released in June 2012, created a buzz with an interpretation of Heinrich Schütz’s Musicalische Exequien. This recording has received several prestigious awards such as the Gramophone ‘Recording of the Year’, the ‘Baroque Vocal Gramophone Award’ and the ‘International Classical Music Award’. Other recordings have also received many awards throughout the world including, Gramophone’s ‘Editor’s Choice’, Diapason d’Or, Choc de Classica, Muse d’Or Baroque, Preis der Deutschen Schallplatten Kritik, Joker de Crescendo and Prix Caecilia.

Chers amis, que pensez-vous de cette brillante idée si je peux l'appeler ainsi (veuillez dire oui !). En privilégiant la musique baroque de culture française. Musique de maîtres bizarrement brillants tels que Rameau, Charpentier, Lully, Gilles, les Couperins (ce n'est qu'une petite sélection). Amen.
It's the Baroque way of holding the bow. The violinists are holding their bows that way, also. Notice no chin-rests and how the instruments just sit on their shoulders as they play.
She has an awful technique and posture. Her viola waving around all over the place, her feet one on top of the other wound around the chair and no grounding at all. It’s no wonder she makes almost no sound.
Höchsten Respekt vor diesen Künstlern, die ganz ungezwungen wunderbare Musik reproduzieren
Bach freut sich im Himmel ganz tolle musik tolle Stimmen wundervoller Sopran tolle dynamik
Yes, a lovely rendition. Thanks for posting.
This is brilliant! Thanks for shariing! I think the informality of a rehearsal sits rather well with the youtube form. Excellent recording as well.
Wunderbar!
Excellent performance. I love it especially the Soprano.
I've always thought this piece very beautiful and profound, especially knowing it was penned by a young 23 year old Bach.
Beautifully done video, Robert! And gorgeous music making! I don't feel so bad about missing the concert now. This video certainly brightened up a cold, dark afternoon in Texas! Thank you!!

We had this sung at our wedding nearly 20 years ago - a cherished favorite! Bravi tutti!
Bellísimo!,!! Bravooo!!

Magnificent!
Wundervoll! Great!
Votes, please, on whether I should be attending their concert in Cleveland with my wife rather than playing golf.
If you need to ask, after hearing this, you should probably play golf! :-)
Not bad for a rehearsal!

Alléluia for JS BACH who should be thanked by God if he ever existed 😉

Is that the traditional way to hold a viola bow?
It looks remarkably uncomfortable.
