Bach Mgnificat is really a glorious religious music. This and the outstanding vocal interpretation are the elements that become sublime the masterpiece. Viva Bach!! The orchestra and the set of voices are excellent. Thanks for this divine interpretation.
Ma version préférée du magnificat! La direction pleine de légèreté de Tom Kopman donne un rendu exaltant! Et l'alto qui interpréte l'exsultavit m'a tellement touchée que je l'ai fait jouer à l'enterrement de mon mari
When my youngest daughter was...only a few months old, I used to let her listen to Bach's Magnificat and she would be totally absorbed by it (like I always am) :-) Wonderful interpretation by T. Koopman, as usual!
Die allerbeste Wiedergabe die ich bisher gehört habe. DANKE !! Vor allem die Tempi in den einzelnen Sätze sehr gut gewählt. Vor allem bei "Sicut locutus est" richtig Frisch und spritzig, wie es sein muss. Ich liebes es !! :-) :-) VIELEN DANK, TON KOOPMAN und sein Ensemble
When I was 7 and living in London, my mom wanted to take to the Magnificat. I was sick of classical and I refused, so she told me: "Well, It is about a cat who is ... Magnificent!". I could never forget such association.
What a gorgeous music ! Only great minds people can really appreciate this kind of show : sound, costumes, the conductor, beautiful faces, the hall and its architecture... in short everything is great.
Wow!! Thanks for having post this marvelous conducting of Bach's Magnificat. Wonderful choir voices, never overlapping erroneously, always singing together, clearly feeling each line!
Otkrivanje i izucivanje Bach-ove muzike nastavlja se i danas. Zahvaljujući svom talentu i njegovim mnogim radovima, pronalazenje Bach-ovog dela uporedivo je s pronalaženjem blaga. Ovo je majstor barokne muzike koji je stvorio mnoge radove kao što je blago. Možda je Bach blago koje je ostavilo korak koji se ne bi izbrisao muzičkom istorijom. Do sada je bio samo jedan: Johann Sebastian Bach, kompozitor sveta. Divno!
This explosion of Bach's music, especially the Cantatas is just plain phenominal(sic?), not to mention an unlimited number of 'Re-Discovered' composers&works of the Baroque Period....truly these are God_Sent!.....jn
Quello che mi stupisce di Bach è la qualità eccezionale delle musiche della” Chiesa Trionfante “. Lui un compositore “ luterano” severo. La compagine olandese rende molto gioiosa la musica di Bach.
!Magnífico! !Dulce! !Conciliador! y !Restaurador! ...y pensar que pasó volando, como pasan los minutos más bellos en nuestra vida. !Gracias a todas esas almas virtuosas que nos deleitan con tan indescriptibles sensaciones, permitiéndonos encontrarnos en un paraíso que aún no merecemos, y sin embargo hacen nuestras como son nuestros propios sueños. !Gracias a todos los invisibles técnicos dirigentes y asistentes que nos prodigan sus creaciones y fantacias, que nos llenan de tanta felicidad! !Gracias a TH-cam por existir y ser nuestro(a)!
Profound understanding and interpretation, love the precision tune and 'cool' enthusiasm of Bogna Bartosz...besides it being excellently recorded. Probably the most convincing rendition of the E flat major version of the Magnificat I have come across so far.
Mr. Koopman's a real treat to see when conducting 😂 I watched a clip of St. Matthew Passion where he's conducting, but I didn't know that he's always this jolly (maybe) haha
Este Magnificat de J. S. Bach es de una calidad y espiritualidad extraordinaria, elevando realmente la música a alturas espectrales..Belisimo..Gracias por permitir escucharlo...
Bonjour, je ne cesse pas de 'regarder' cet enregistrement, vraiment regarder! La prise de vues est magnifique, voir chaque choriste dans la joie de ce sujet, c'est un bonheur. Moi qui suis un petit choriste basse, chômeur en ce moment, je suis transporté, comblé, ... et jaloux! Et Tom Koopman est trop... Quelle présence, quelle simplicité.
Was für eine Wiedergabe einfach, großartig. - Wat voor een uitvoering, prachtig Koopman en de seinen op een heel hoog niveau. Had hun mee gamaakt in 2000 wel in de NIkolaikirche.
De todas las miles de creaciones artísticas elaboradas por el ser humano que debieran perdurar más allá de las fronteras del espacio-tiempo, esta sería una de ellas. Solo un genio que adora y ama al Dios Todopoderoso puede crear una obra tan sublime.
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; as he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. Lucas 1:46-55
Along with the Herreweghe recording done a year prior to this one (in 2002), these two recordings of the E flat major earlier version of this work (nowadays categorised as BWV 243.1 instead of BWV 243a) are by far the best. The addition of the 4 Christmas movements does wonders for this entire work. Edit: Not sure what the sudden sharp cut at 9:52 was for though... kind of ruins this performance
How old this time is Mr. Ton Koopman? I am conducting with agile move full of force, and organ also playing. It's a wonderful performance. I'm very happy to see such a picture. Merry Christmas.
.Bien les trompettistes surtout avec des instruments préhistoriques . Les piccolos actuelles donnent le même résultat avec beaucoup moins de mal et un aussi beau son
3 choruses and 1 duet in here I am not familiar with but welcomed lengthening of this exquisite short work. This has to be the most aesthetically pleasing and technically perfect performance I've heard of this work. Beautiful work by soloists.

I apologize, I was wrong (in part). I selected the Koopman version that includes only Magnificat bit the music played in my computer was another version, including besides Magnificat cantata 63 and several other Bach works. I guess technology overcomes old people like myself. Please disregard previous comment.
So confusing, because this IS BWV243a (with the 4 Christmas hymns added, without Roman numerals in the program list), but it's not in E-flat, but rather in Baroque-pitch D-major (sounding like D-flat on a modern piano). What gives???
@Bach Sampled Well THAT's interesting info - but still, one wonders how we come to have a modern youtube video at THAT pitch. These modern musicians still have to have been reading music in D-major, right? I mean, we don't have full orchestras of instruments tuned to 392 Hz, I'm guessing. Nor would there be much point.
My children have heard this more times than I care to admit. My all time favorite.

Thrilling and inspirational. Thank you for bringing this "gem" to all of us.
Absolutely incredible! Koopman does it again!
What a wonderful voice Deborah York has.
Sublime, Bach insuperable, con Mozart ,lo mejor de las composiciones hechas en la historia de la música
When I was 7 and living in London, my mom wanted to take to the Magnificat. I was sick of classical and I refused, so she told me:
"Well, It is about a cat who is ... Magnificent!". I could never forget such association.
Genius mom
Do you enjoy listening to the Magnificat now that you are a grown up ? You sure had a nice mum !
ALWAYS THRILLING TO SEE AND HEAR THIS SUPER GREAT WORK//A FABULOUS BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE!!

A pure refreshment to the soul, magnificent expressive and superb! A great thanks to all the performers!
gracias por estas perlas de la música clásica y tan bien interpretadas.
Maravillosa música, e interpretada donde está enterrado el inmortal Bach
Profound understanding and interpretation, love the precision tune and 'cool' enthusiasm of Bogna Bartosz...besides it being excellently recorded. Probably the most convincing rendition of the E flat major version of the Magnificat I have come across so far.
Uplifting . In past Bach has eluded me with Beethoven in Preference but the vast expanse of JSB has in later years been a discovery for me!
Great and majestic performance. Thank you!

he is !

I love this version with the interpolated chorales.
same. this should be the standard and most performed version in my personal opinion.
Its nice for a change he doesnt have the trumpets way in the background, like some others.
SUBLIME💙💙💙💙💙
Maravilloso! concierto

Il mio amico Alfredo Bernardini grande oboista.
the leftmost guy on the front row, the one at @02:27. i've had a crush on him since around 2008 when I first saw a version of this video.
.Bien les trompettistes surtout avec des instruments préhistoriques . Les piccolos actuelles donnent le même résultat avec beaucoup moins de mal et un aussi beau son
Espetacular parabéns
Great concert! At 15:40 Franz Schubert is seen in the choir 😊
That's Jasper Schweppe, who has recently recorded Schubert's Winterreise, you can check it out on Spotify, or maybe even here on TH-cam.
Rigtig dejlig korsang og smuk musik. Flot opført....
3 choruses and 1 duet in here I am not familiar with but welcomed lengthening of this exquisite short work. This has to be the most aesthetically pleasing and technically perfect performance I've heard of this work. Beautiful work by soloists.
JD Olson you must have heard the d major version
YES! Thank you for that information. I'm reading about his different versions now.
Merci !

7:45 This Performing's pitch is 415, and has to use oboe da'more. but 1st oboe musician used 392 hz, Why used it?
Trumpets having a bit of a time with the parts, sounding a little thin at times. Overall a really good performance.

I want Ton Koopman's cantata collection. It can not be helped if I want it.

I selected the Koopman version that includes only Magnificat bit the music played in my computer was another version, including besides Magnificat cantata 63 and several other Bach works. I guess technology overcomes old people like myself. Please disregard previous comment.
Ah yes - I left a note under your other posting.
Trumpets in E flat exist back then? Didn't know that...
I'm confused, is it originally should be in E-flat or D? Any scholar, please? 😅
A quick look at the Wikipedia page reveals that there are two versions, the earlier one (1723) in E-flat and the latter (1733) in D.
Brava Bogna Bartosz, mi mezzo favorita!!!
+Lenier Pernas es realmente preciosa Bogna Bartosz. Gracias por la presentación!
+José Guillermo Molina ella tiene una voz calida y dulce...
Si je devais mourir je voudrais ce magnifier si je dois vivre alors que je n oublié jamais cette joie de Jean Sébastien bach
What happened at 9:54?
a glitch that was removed from the upload, apparently.
Additional thanks for normal Latin "magna" in V instead of meowing "manja" heard so often in this movement ^_^
No such thing as 'normal Latin'.
As a rule of thumb: works of German composers are best sung with "classical" pronunciation (no [tch] [dj] [ny] etc. sounds as in Italian).
That's not normal, that's German. In Italian or French music we would have sung manya.
So confusing, because this IS BWV243a (with the 4 Christmas hymns added, without Roman numerals in the program list), but it's not in E-flat, but rather in Baroque-pitch D-major (sounding like D-flat on a modern piano). What gives???

@The MIDI Bach Project Thanks for the enlightenment!
cut off at 9:52
yup. no idea why considering its from a live performance. ruins the flow.
JA, HEEL STOREND!
