I wish all the angry and warring people on earth would get a massive dosage of Bach's music! This is so uplifting, it transports you to an elevated viewpoint.
@Niall's Songs: I often think the same, absolute fitting comment, you "hit the nail on the head", Greetings from Germany, Merry Christmas and stay safe!
Thanks to the Norwegian people for this wonderful music! Thanks a lot!❤
Magnifique ! quel plaisir d'entendre jouer ce passage à chaque Noël et davantage!
Best version of this I have heard - fresh and fervent.........
I have heard Dijkstra conduct this Oratorio at different times with different ensembles and his interpretations and expression remain my favorite.
Yesss!!! 💥💥💥❤️❤️❤️😁
Love the trumpeter's ornamentations in the Grosser Herr da capo!
Yes, Mark Bennett usually do nice ornaments on the repeat!
Amazing, incredibly lively. You can tell the performers enjoyed the music, and they really did it justice.
Excellent live performance. Good work of the sound engineer. Pls, keep this video alive.
Wow. 50 years of vinyl, tape,live,CD and stream, this is the best one yet.
You have to listen to Harnoncourt's -this one does not even compare
Wonderful tempo! great conductor. PLEASE RESCUE ME FROM UTAH!!!!! Grew up back east. Used to sing with the Bethlehem Bach choir and play with great orchestras. Anyone need a cellist who studied with Rose, Greenhouse, Stokking, and Leonard? God bless this terrific group!
Great performance! Very beautiful!❤Bravo maestro👋
Superb! Lively, uplifting! Very professional performance! Thanks to our Creator for Bach !
C'est excellent... world class, like MonteverdiChoir !!
Brilliant performance. Brilliant diction and sensitive conducting. My favourite performance of this work.
This is God's work, and it is marvelous in our eyes!
Fantastisk trompetgruppe! 🙂
I played with natural trumpets, and the problem here is that they have holes.
Great performance! Very beautiful!
I like this a lot. Crisp, incisive (I hate soggy Bach) brisk and vibrant with energy. The opening chorus (which can sometimes sound a bit routine) is alive with the joy of the incarnation, almost an exultant, whirling dance. I would love to hear this group doing the Matthew Passion.
Geoff Walker Agreed, even Gardiner, a great Bach lover & interpreter, lacks the essential joy of this version.
The "Glo-o-o-o-ria" in the B-minor Mass would sound great!
Brilliant. I would love to see this live. Thank you.
Fantastic. Intense. Thank you!!!
Sooooo beautiful. Thank you!
Je découvre ! Absolument excellent ! Très bon enregistrement sonore. Choeur et solistes parfaits ! Un régal, Bach au top !
Great performance. Thanks for posting it.

Love bach music
Peter Dijkstra. What a man!
And you are Fidel Castro?
❤️
Best ever! Thank you.
Brilliant performance !!!
너무 멋진 연주!!!
Brilliant! Danke schon!!!!
0:05 This is my favorite part about the 1st Movement, Running down the Scale.
This is art!!
Incredible! Glory be to God our Father in heaven and Jesus Christ God's only begotten Son and our Savior and Lord!!!
Absolutely superb. One of my favorite recordings. Especially love how the trumpets hold the high note just a tad bid long at the top of the phrase (on beat 1), as though it were the top of a mountain crest, before the next phrase continues downward. Example at 1:42-43, and continues in that pattern throughout. Very crisp performance with excellent conducting. Conductor is not too flashy, and is very clear, excellent phrasing. Would be interesting to know if he's a singer or instrumentalist. Wish I could have heard this live, in person. This is a performance that really wakes me up. I also appreciate the pretty women singers. :)
Okay, I just looked up the conductor, and he's a vocalist. I should have guessed that by the absence of a baton. Marvelous job. Truly well done.
+GardenerTobak Agree on everything, incl the pretty women singers.
This is really quite excellent. Well done all.
Muy buena interpretación
Instrumentos de cuerda modernos.-Buena sonoridad ¡¡Bravo!!
The orchestra is very good.
Such a pity that Part 4 and Part 5 are missing. Please publish them too!
Un pezzo di paradiso......
Bravo Fabio Trümpy!
Super
In Oslo University's Assembly Hall. And what greater backdrop that Edvard Munch's magnificent mural, "The Sun."
Thanks for adding this very interesting detail. I wouldn't have guessed the work was by Edvard Munch.
It's great to see the baton isn't only carried by the Netherlands Bach Society.
Lovely
Love it... the bass singer in "Grosser Herr, o starker Koenig" rocks!... if you forgive me the expression.
+Michel Denizot You are forgiven... but you are so right on !!! Forgive me !
Chef remarquable
Herlig!
I love this performance. One of my favorites of BMV 248. Thanks.
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland,
vielen Dank für Eure schöne Musik und das Lächeln der Chorsängerin im Alt. Lieber Kantor, dieses Lächeln wird dem Werk gerecht, nimm es Dir an, weil Eure Musik einfach überirdisch ist.
Maravilha!
I thought that only the Germans and the Japanese are able to perform Bach. Bravo!
I am German and this is how Bach should be performed. He is after all a Baroque composer and not a mechanical robot despite his engineering approach to music. So, glamour and playfulness should always be present in any interpretation. I also recommend Violinist Daniel Hope who does an excellent job at interpreting Bach (and Mendelssohn as well).
me gustó mucho, puedo practicar.
Sonnia Arrobaback
Yvonne Fuchs singt phantastisch. Danke!
Nice performance with festive opening. Like the natural trumpets. The lute-like instrument I think it's a theorbe.
It sure looks like a theorbo to me! Certainly an appropriate continuo instrument, tough rarely used nowadays.

Wow! Lovely and FRESH take on this music that doesn't really suffer fools... Norway well done!! I love this performance.
Bach is providing what religion is not (a slightly risky comment :) Bach is a tangible reason to take Christianity with seriousness. How could such a mind, greater than yours or mine, be feeble in taking on the mantle of Christ? Could I just add as a side comment, the timpani rhythm at the start is programmatic: it is the kicking of Christ's feet in the body of Mary when she declaims the Magnificat.
What is your source about this "kicking" idea? Rather fanciful. The timpani is setting up the opening of the first words of the chorus, "Jauchzet, frohlocket," same pitches same rhythm.
We know he set his texts with a lot of care. Luke's narrative explains that Mary declaimed the canticle after Elizabeth felt John the Baptist move inside her womb after she tells her of her pregnancy. I always felt those four timpani notes were so unlikely yet so deliberate that they must have significance.
The opening of the Christmas Oratorio is a reworking of a secular cantata, Tönet, ihr Pauken! Erschallet, Trompeten! The text was changed but the music is pretty much identical.
It seems you have me there (sigh)... my image is ruined. It's now just five timpani notes
Five timpani notes that sing, "Shout for joy, exult!"
❤❤❤
Music is God!
Ingebooooooooooooorg!

Can anyone please tell me what that large stringed lute-like instrument is?
That actually is a lute with resonance extension
It's a theorbo.
Thanks!

I agree with that about conductors but camera a glass
🤷

A bit fast...
Not any direct view on the timpanis player, in this piece is an error.
The timpanis are here thematic…
Ivan, don’t mention “mass production Karajan”, that’s all he was! an assembly line. He had better interpreters all around him that were “human”,
Lekcja muzyki be like XD
The Theorbo player is using a very interesting fast strumming pattern.

…………………and their Off to the Races! Holy Rushed! way tooooo fast!
TOOOO FAST!!!!
Noooooo
A conductor should never detract from the music by attempting to be the center of attention with his theatrics.
This is to fast for me
He's clowning is distracting. Take a lesson from von Karajan.
