- One Of Bach's best.
The Cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach (German: Bachkantaten) consist of at least 209 surviving works.
As far as is known, Johann Sebastian Bach's earliest surviving cantatas date from 1707, the year he moved to Mühlhausen (although he may have begun composing them at his previous post at Arnstadt). Most of Bach's cantatas date from his first years as Thomaskantor (director of church music in Leipzig), a position which he took up in 1723. Working especially at the Thomaskirche and the Nikolaikirche, it was part of his job to perform a church cantata every Sunday and Holiday, conducting soloists, the Thomanerchor, and orchestra as part of the church service. In his first years in Leipzig, starting after Trinity of 1723, it was not unusual for him to compose a new work every week.[1] Works from three annual cycles of cantatas for the liturgical calendar have survived. These relate to the readings prescribed by the Lutheran liturgy for the specific occasion. He composed his last cantata probably in 1745.
In addition to the church cantatas, Bach composed sacred cantatas for functions like weddings or Ratswahl (the inauguration of a new town council), music for academic functions of the University of Leipzig at the Paulinerkirche, and secular cantatas for anniversaries and entertainment in nobility and society, some of them Glückwunschkantaten (congratulatory cantatas) and Huldigungskantaten (homage cantatas).
His cantatas usually require four soloists and a four-part choir, but he also wrote solo cantatas for typically one soloist and dialogue cantatas for two singers. The words for many cantatas combine Bible quotes, contemporary poetry, and chorale, but he also composed a cycle of chorale cantatas based exclusively on one chorale.

In my opinion, he is the best composer that has ever existed
N j afdF sea
Absolutely!
Absolutely agree 💯 🙌
In my opinion as well
And will never be surpassed.
At Bach's death he reportedly said "I go to where music is born," and he still speaks to us today, from Heaven.
Strange! What i really want to know is whether J.S.Bach actually believed in god or not. Not just whether he said he did. His music is most suitable to that belief.
@@cynic150 More strange is that falsely believing in heaven actually makes people happier than 'enlightened' people who know the meaninglessness of their lives and dread their death. I wish I was that naive.
@@SorrySuckYou Are you sure they are happier? Ignorance is bliss? I cannot understand anyone wanting to be naive! My life is not meaningless. But believing in nonsense is.
Nobody goes to heaven. The bible doesn't even say this.
@@SorrySuckYou If our lives are meaningless, then why to dread the death? Anyone would say the opposite, the death equals to liberation. Otherwise, you have yet something meaningful keeping you here.
Imagine walking around with this in your head. This was in Bach's head and he played it for people, and wrote it down so we could hear it, now. Hard to explain what I mean, but it amazes me to no end.
And imagine how many melodies he had in his head. Unbelievable. And then he wrote them down in a polyphonic structure. Which makes me even more speechless.
Think about the musicians who play these works! They too have their head full of this music.
"... Hard to explain what I mean ..." ; No, it obviously isn't - every word was as crystal clear (to me) as that incredible music that Bach wrote (in his own manuscript - for all those instruments & vocalists) and also rewrote (or had copied by his students) so it could be rehearsed and performed in public to huge worshiping congregation audiences - probably the weekend after it was first written ! Thank God & Bach that we still have hugely talented performers that eagerly seek out his music and keep it alive for us three hundred years later. It makes me weep for joy.
I know exactly what you mean. It's what I think every time I hear such music. Which is why I rate composers above all other artists.
Yeah, and exactly so , for I don't know either how to express it . So, apart from YEAH, also, thank you.
Listening to Bach, all of The Universe makes sense and all is revealed.
J.S.Bach ... unübertroffen, was für ein Genie .... und auch diese perfekten Musiker !!!
Yessss
I love that organist.
Me too. Plays the part and looks the part.
Er kennt die Kunst, sich perfekt zu integrieren. Bravo! Exzellent.
Ich bedanke mir bei Gott für die Musiker die Er geschaffen hat...Gott lieb sich selber indem er seine Geliebte kindern erstmal schuff und liebte .
dude can you imagine going to bach's church back in the day and fool is dropping gems like this sometimes EVERY WEEK?? and to hear it again you basically have to be in the band
"fool is dropping gems" - LOL
what's wild is that he wasn't even popular. In fact, his chorale-preludes on organ were often complained about because they were "too complicated" and "obscured" the melody or cantus firmus. So even though he was moderately popular among musicians, it wasn't until like... a century after his death that he got the recognition he deserved, when Mendelssohn "revived" his music in concerts, when complex counterpoint was a lot more popular in the Romantic era.
Sometimes TWICE a week . . . it's staggering.
He also had 23 children. Remember that next time you complain about not having enough free time.
Impressive
Not only was he the best as a composer, but according to several experts, J.S.Bach was also the greatest organ and piano player to ever live.
Except that he played the harpsichord, an instrument much more suitable to the character of Baroque-era music
@@donsena2013 Bach was without a doubt more of an organist than he was a harpsichordist! In his time he was primarily known for his organ playing. He also played violin and the harpsichord and clavichord, but those were all secondary.
@@JohnJohnson-yi6jg Well, he certainly started out on the harpsichord in his early attempts at musical composition, as in his six fabulous Bach-on-Vivaldi transcriptions of concerti grossi by the Venetian priest -- whom he termed "Der grosser roser Geistliche Viivaldi" (his mentor). He also wrote a number of particularly great concerti grossi for one or more harpsichords, strings and continuo, including his transcription of what I call the Vivaldi B-minor, his Op 3, 10, for four violins, strings and continuo, in which Bach substituted four harpsichords for the solo violins
Sehr anspruchsvoll. Es hat mich bewegt, und ich habe es genossen.
L’organiste est fantastique. Quelle virtuoisité!
... J'adorais déjà la musique de Bach. Je découvre aujourd'hui cette cantate : époustouflant !!! La perfection, un orchestre d'immenses qualités, des chœurs puissants, des solistes parfaits et un orgue tenu par un virtuose, le tout sous la conduite d'un chef imprégné de l'esprit du Maître ....!!!! Merci Monsieur Bach et ses interprètes de nous entrouvrir la porte du domaine du Très Haut !!!
Magnifique ! Superbe!
I heard it now for a thousand times, it still is perfect...
Yes, it Will always be perfect since it came, was "downloaded" from a perfect, timeless place, dimension.
I agree entirely !
,willi
J.S. Bach is always perfect!
I do so agree !
there won't be another composer as great as Bach in billion years
Cette soprano est merveilleuse. Une technique vocale absolument parfaite,une voix émouvante un legato qui ne bouge pas, une expressivité dosée à la perfection, j'ai rarement entendu une telle perfection. je ne me lasse pas de l'écouter.
Agreed. She blows my socks off..
Maria Keohane is a fantastic soprano and one can tell she loves this music. Radiant!
Yes Pat Ross, inner and outer beauty with an angelic voice.
I thought the tenor was better.
I was driving solo around Australia a few years ago and passing through the red deserts of north-westernAustralia, magnificent in colour, antiquity and isolation. I was listening to Bach, and was so suddenly aware of just how improbable this was that i was overcome and had to stop, refect, and give thanks to A Higher Power that would allow me to do this 200 years after Bach lived.
amen
AMEN
Danke, sehr Johann.
from little organist mit long, narrow feet. perfect to reach organ pedals
which did at Oberlin Oberlin Conservatory, class of '61.
at that time was Mary Beth Almanrode
What higher power do you mean?
cynic150 the lord Jesus Christ
@@leecrotty658 How do you know it Jesus? I suggest that it was just your brain jumping to conclusions. It is impossible to know that!
This work (early Bach), is so nearly perfect it takes my breath away. Such an absolutely wonderful combination of instrumentalists, chorus and soloists!
He was already 46 years old, and the Chorus „Wir danken Dir Gott“ later became part of the h-moll-Messe (Gratias and Dona nobis pacem).
Second piece was included in the b minor mass
I thank Bach, I thank Germany for such a great composer, a gift for the world !!!
Bach is cool. Germany? Not for another hundred years yet.
@@RichardLKentEsq Germany was cool during Bach's time. German music is the highest achievement of an art form yet devised by man.
It is a welcome relief to hear a sensible and valuable comment made about Germany. There is no question that the culture that produced Bach has much to be proud of.
Richard L. Kent Bach lived in an old and big family network and a culture that made him possible. To deny this was German is foolish.
Georgios Antraklas So I wonder why there is not one great Greek composer? OK, when enslavement of others is a tradition of your culture for thousands of years it’s going to be hard to start working yourself. And as Bach said: I had to be industrious.
I experience a deep emotional connection with Bach’s majestic music, so beautifully performed by the Netherlands Bach Society ❤
Wow, what can I say! Bach's music is so sublime and elegant.
I feel that Bach would smile at the quality of this group's superb performance.
lovely response to the tenor of the indescribably magnificent music !
Sonamoo I think in his day he didn’t have this quality of musicians, he complained about it 😔
Bach and Handel complained about the poor quality of most of the musicians available. Beethoven had difficulty in finding a good violinist to play his violin concerto. Today any moderately advanced music student can play it.
This is pure genius in conjunction with Divine inspiration. He was the top of the top.
We thank Bach for this beautiful cantata
J.S. Bach always wanted to give God the glory. So much good came out of his attitude!
Bach composed because he was employed by the church. He had to produce to receive his pay. After he stopped working for the church he never again wrote a christian work again.....
Christ is King
Nailed it! Magnificent! Cried like a baby, Bach in this gorgeous setting always hits home in a big way.
Me too
Listening in the midst of the corona virus?? Inspiring, uplifting....
Yes. 100%.
Perfect for my Sonntag morning during Covid. Inspiring. Thank God for this and your posting it for us to enjoy until we ‘meet again’ some day.
Perfection!
What virus ?
Que?
This collection of work by the Netherlands Bach Society has been such a glorious find! I just wish I new German. I discovered Bach--or Bach discovered me--when I was an amateur chorus singer in the Oberlin Musical Union at Oberlin College when I was a student there with no idea yet that I was heading to a theological education and pastoral career. It was the Christmas Oratorio, two Passion, and the B Minor Mass that awakened me, a life-long church goer with my family, to the possibility that God and "this Christian thing" might be real. Bach obviously knew it was! I wish I knew more about how it came to be so powerfully real for him.
I encourage you to take up German as a hobby! Even a couple minutes a day was enough for me to get to a point where I can follow along and enjoy Bach, even if I can't translate word-for-word perfectly.
I'm grateful to hear about your re-awakening. I hope it's a genuine rebirth by the Holy Spirit. May he help you see your sin, and see Christ for who he is. May he be your light, him personally. Read the Bible with open ears and pray, my friend!
German ia not difficult to learn. I'm doing it by myself and now I can understand many frases. Not very difficult from English
@@claubarreira508 Sehr gut! Bravo.
I am awestruck at the sheer beauty of this performance.Thanks so much to Bach Netherlands Society. Greetings and best wishes from Ireland.
The breath control of the soprano is unbelievable. Such seemingly effortless performance.
The soprano is Maria Keohane. Listen to this other air, always by Bach: th-cam.com/video/oUy10EMxEO0/w-d-xo.html
D Miller said of Bach: "Imagine walking around with this in your head"! I agree with that sentiment. I'm thankful that he did write it down so that we can relish and be uplifted by this magnificent music! Best wishes to all from Mississippi, USA! Stay safe!
Mi mayor alegría durante la pandemia, es escuchar las cantatas de Bach, me han fortalecido espiritualmente, me ha aumentado la pasión por este gran compositor que me asombra su gran capacidad creativa. Muchas gracias por esta oportunidad!
Cannot wait for resurrection day that it may be me the first one to greet JSB back to life.

what a splendid singer this lady soprano is - she puts to shame all those shrieking wobbly operatic women singers who lack a sound technique and her beautiful tone, legato, and expression,
Not to mention the women "singers" like Cardi B and her ilk.
yes, Great soprano. But you know her name? I'd like to know it
@@RaulFMiyar Maria Keohane. From Sweden. th-cam.com/video/Z7zf50kbsyw/w-d-xo.html
@@connecticutyankee9706 cardi b has never been described as a singer but as a rapper. And a bad one at that. I’ve often noticed cardi b being mentioned under a lot of videos such as this one as a reference as to why today’s music is so bad when even today’s youth do not think that she is talented.
@@RaulFMiyar Maria Keohane.
This is how we should thank God
(Wit Danken Dir Gott = We thank You God)
Absolutely wonderful, downloaded from the Heavens.
The lady soloist superb, beautiful inside and outside.
Marvellous organist and conductor.
Thank you all who participated in the performance of this another Bach's masterpiece!
*Exzellente Aufführung!*
Bach: ein grosser Geschenk zur Welt von Deutschland. Vielen dank!
Sachsen-Eisenach, nicht Deutschland.
@@steveng2639 Genau!!
@@torbjornstalberg9147 Well, give Deutschland at least a little reflected glory, in the Pickwickian sense, as Dickens has it. From a son of Bavarians, lol
Klar, gehörte ja nie irgendwie zu Deutschland...
Hermann Lindenbrunn Bach hat sich als Deutschen gesehen und reiste zu Fuss nach Lübeck und Lüneburg, blickte also über den sächsischen, thüringischen und anhaltinischen Tellerrand hinaus. Das mit Deutschland kam in Eisenach paar Jahre später^^
Excellent.
FABULOUS, BACH IN ALL HIS SPLENDOUR!! great orchestra, singers, superb organist, great energy.
Une pure magie , merci à vous les interprètes , et bravo le chef d'orchestre , MAIS surtout Merci à vous Monsieur BACH , ma vie est belle grâce à VOUS..
With the world in chaos, and the country in which I grew up unrecognizable, it is the miracle of Bach that gives me hope and keeps me sane.
That opening Sinfonia gets me every time!
True but so much more mesmerizing when played on Violin Solo!
Same here!!
Marvelous soprano, Maria Keohane! Beautiful recording in excellent accoustics. Thank you for making this performance!
She is just ineffable! Gloriana!
Thank you; I was looking for her name. Fantastic timbre, expression, tone, breath control!

Imperial music. The organ player is truly amazing.
Yes, Richard, I absolutely agree on both your comments.
What does that mean? Imperial? That's a roof rack in Dutch.
The harpsichordist is no slouch either
@@geraldvanwilgen Music of the Holy Roman Empire
You could hardly hear the organ. His way of feeling the rhythm was rather over-done, I would say.
"Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents GOD has given us." Martin Luther
The conductor directs with intuition and fine authority. Unsurpassed performance!
Thank you, Helena, for the M.Luther quote. So true!!
Such a soulful performance, love the organist, all the musicians, conductor, singers AND the intimate beautiful setting.thank you.
Musik von Bach hilft mir tatsächlich, wenn es mir gerade nicht so gut geht. Ehrlich!
Sounds like a music fanatic. What has music to do with prophets?
Performed by the Netherlands Bach Society. They are awesome.
The organ work in the Sinfonia is fabulous. This version is just so good!
LOL y yo me había quedado con la sinfonía cuando empieza el inmortal disco del Bach Electrónico de Walter/Wendy Carlos... Tuve que llegar a los 61 años y (por suerte) disponer del maravilloso youtube para escuchar esta cantata entera y con los instrumentos originales... La verdad es que se me cayeron las medias del todo, del todo. Una extraordinaria experiencia. Excepcional, celestial... Muchas gracias por compartir esta música insuperable... Saludos. Gustee.
Every time I hear it, I walk around with it in my head for days.....
I am amazed at the quality of sound.
thank the skilful audio engineers and the designers of the acoustics of the building Thankfully there is no audience coughing all over it to spoil it!!!
One of the most wonderful compositions of BACH. The rendition is excellent. BRAVISSIMO !!!!!!!
I’m my opinion this is Bachs best Cantata. What makes it is the great continuo and strict counterpoint which demonstrates heavily to anyone new to Baroque music, what polyphony is all about. It’s that pleasing to the ear that one has to repeat the video multiple times before sleeping.
And Sato is amazing
this is so good! It resets the mind to factory settings :)
Nicely put Jan - Bach's music is beyond the beyond !
@@ericwyness9089 Mate pravdu :-)
OMG ive been binging on this stuff for a year now ...
@@janzalud216 Hopefully for many years to come as well! (:
it really makes me think. there is really something deeply good about this music. it really would be worth studying.
Exceptionnelles de qualités, solistes, chœur, orchestre, orgue, direction, tous instruments ! Oui MERCI Dieu pour tant de beauté et pour le chef-d’oeuvre Absolu qu’est La VIE ! Merci Johan Sebastian Bach !
No doubt Ms Keohane lights up the cantata with her voice very suited for Bach.
C'est une preuve pour moi de la vie éternelle. Tant de beauté ne peut pas disparaitre !
Ne voyez-vous pas que c'est la beauté de Dieu qui s'exprime à travers ce compositeur et cette musique ?
N'oubliez pas non plus que Bach était un grand croyant et que pratiquement toute son oeuvre a été inspirée par sa foi en Dieu.
Vous me direz que tout le monde peut se tromper, c'est vrai.
Mais, dans ce cas, cela vous concerne aussi, ainsi que votre affirmation péremptoire et catégorique "Dieu n'existe pas"
This is Bach done right--elegant and rich!
That's how I hear it too. I (we) had the great privilege of singing the Bach B Minor Mass under the baton of Christoph von Dohnanyi, and he told us in dress rehearsal, we are going to do this "Old School" or what they may now call "Old Fashion" Bach. But that's how he heard it, and that has always been my ear for it: such as Otto Klemperer with Christa Ludwig et al., and the Philharmonia recordings. Grand, elegant, richly imagined and cathedral-like in amplitude. If that was good enough for Otto K, it's good enough for John E. Nothing in the current recordings, of all those that I've heard, at least, stands up in spiritual impact and grandeur to so many of the mid-20th century interpretations/recordings, and Bach deserves that "scope" to be heard for all that he is. Like another Klemperer collaborator, George Malcolm on keyboards and his "Angel" recordings.
@@johnervin8033 I would agree that the trend among many interpretations of Bach and other baroque composers is to overcompensate for past sins. The music that emerges is thin, fleet, and idiosyncratic. I hope that by revisiting the versions you mention as well as the breakthrough interpretations of Nikolaus Harnoncourt, which have to my ear withstood the test of time, future interpreters will be better able to hop up into saddle without ending up on the other side of the horse.
David Callahan, nicely said.
Yes, that is close to my perspective. I have indeed heard some things in the past quarter century that have some of the old school grandeur, but it has notably and glaringly thinned.
I think Beethoven's may be applied, to strike or sing a wrong note is insignificant, but to play without passion is inexcusable.
Lorca wrote a great essay about that, duende.
CvD also added in our dress rehearsal, "Don't sing the holy parts of his Mass bloodlessly. Bach had, what, 20 children?"
And then came the downbeat for the Credo.
Word 2 Wise.
Heifetz and Friedman did a 50s duet for the Bach double violin. That was an example of greatness marred somewhat by too much "rubato" etc. I grew up with that as one of my Gospel readings.
It wasn't til I heard one that was incandescently passionate but restrained that I realized that Jascha had gone too far!
Göttliche Musik, Marianes göttliche Stimme, was für eine Anmut.
C’est superbe. L’organiste, Léo van Doeselaar joue superbement.
Oui, ses ornements rajoutent du piment et il retombe pile poil sur ses pattes. Épatant !
Et l'orgue est très réactif, ce qui est indispensable pour cette oeuvre très difficile et très dense.
Fulminant, strahlend und zugleich tief empfunden...
From start to finish, this was superlatively good. I'm both enamoured with, and jealous of, the tenor's facility in the upper register, managing as he does to retain heft alongside the brightness, or indeed purity, that Bach demands of his singers. Faaaaabulous.
stupenda esecuzione bravissimi complimenti
C'est vraiment très beau.
Et la voix de soprane dans l'aria à la minute 14.35 est magique.
Une voix subtiles avec un vibrato à peine perceptible qui lui permet d'ajuster des nuances qui tirent la larme. Merci madame.
I experienced a new classical music world listening to the cantata of Bach. The soprano soloist, Maria Keohane(Swedish) is perfect. The organist's fantastic performance is amazing.
This is such a treat! Excellent conducting, virtuosic performers (especially the organist), some period instruments (including the viol!), countertenor, beautiful church, and masterful recording. I don't think I've heard a better rendition of the Sinfonia than this. Bravi e grazie tutti!
Darius! There's a name, a blast from the past! Still in Costa Mesa, neighbor?
Great to see your Persian person here @TH-cam, weighing in on this. especially on behalf of Bach.
Our Muse's #1 key ambassador! (Since we last spoke at Mother's Market, since relocated, I've known an Asghari or two, and one taught me, at last, how to put the accent on the right syllable of your last name: Sar-a-FI! ;-} ) "Bravi e grazie tutti, molto gentile!"
(My mother passed, at 91, not many weeks after I last saw you, the night when I was still with her, as you were exiting the library where I'm now posting this, and since then worlds spun, turned, and changed many times in the meanwhile. But I now at least have a lovely Yamaha piano!
All the better to salute you, Darius. Kayli Mamnoon for the invites, around that time, to your "homeland" virtuoso friend's concert at the Irvine Bowl, which I was too hard-pressed then to attend. Hope your "polyphony" is still as vibrant as ever!)
@@johnervin8033 Pleasant surprise! So sorry to hear about your mother! I guess those of us who love music as much as we do have a great capacity for love. And the greater the love the greater the pain of loss! I'm glad you are back in relative statis!
Funny how the mind works. I remember our last conversation to be at 24 hour fitness by the main stairs! Strange coincidence. We too bought a Yamaha piano (model C3)! Hope you're practicing your hands sore! Are you composing?
Let's continue this conversation off-line. My email address remains the same.
Leo Van Dosselar. Organist
Just superb. Words won’t do, except one: Bach.
Exquisite! No one but Bach could have created it!
Che esecuzione meravigliosa! Coro, orchestra, organo, sublime brano, toccante! Ho le lacrime agli occhi...
Outstanding performance - especially tenor/violin aria and soprano/woodwind aria - and beautiful chorales.
FABULOUS harpsichord, orchestra, singers...wonderful energy, Bach would be proud!
What a beautiful, pure soprano sound! Bravo! Thank you to all the artists and to the poster. This has lightened my heart today.
Ik doe daar ook aan mee aan dat herbeluisteren! Prachtig!
Endlich mal Bach-Kantate mit einer "richtigen" Orgel, wie es sich eigentlich gehört!
Confrontata con altre esecuzioni da me ascoltate, questa è decisamente la migliore. Complimenti
Che gioia cantare, suonare o ascoltare Bach!
Ufff! Me ha cautivado la voz de la soprano!! Merveilleux!!!
That's simply outstanding! I particularly like the tenor aria (and his trill was just perfect). And can't help miss the late Aldo Baldin...he would also have applauded this rendition.
Best of Bach! His inspiration pours itself into every subsequent generation.
So cool when the big organ is used. Impressive!!🤩🤩🤩
Perfect for my Sonntag morning during this Covid time. God bless and keep your music playing
A stunning performance of a beautiful piece.
More so mesmerising for the musicians mostly standing to play.
It does seem to bring a different quality to the experience - I'd love to see similar 'live'
Super! Bach's true achievement with the sinfonia is the fact that a performance by solo violin without organ and orchestra is not a reduction but a sublimation.
Hammer! Einfach schön. Bach. Und genial gespielt.
Hallo Thomas,
deinen Kommentar hier finde ich prägnant. Jetzt muss ich mal hinterfragen. Hast du in Lobetal gewoht oder lebst du dort?
Liebe Grüße

Never weshall have such a Bach again. His music flies up to heaven.
His music is from Heaven
yesss this version again on youtube, thank you, its so good, heavenly, epic, esctatic
His music is simply amazing,rich and inspiring I would say divine and deep from another realm.always my favorite and the very best!
Just wonderful.
Yet another monumental piece of work from Bach
Judging by other videos on TH-cam it looks like this is the Netherlands Bach Society. Brilliant!
Stephen D it would be nice if there were proper attribution.
The incredible sinfonia here overshadows the rest of the cantata a bit, to say the least.
There are many professional choral groups in the US which sing Bach’s works. I’ve sung all Bach’s major works and many cantatas. I live in a large city in eastern Missouri. One church uses complete cantatas in worship services throughout the year. In original languages, German or Latin.
How fortunate you are, Jean!
Keep it up!! The world can never ever have enough of Bach’s music.
I was very fortunate to be a part of those events. There is nothing like being surrounded by an ensemble right in the middle of such glorious sound!
never here in SW Virginia. I have a pastor that actually makes fun of great music. He's gonna be really disappointed if he ever gets to the streets of gold
@@donnabuckner9329 It saddened me to hear of that pastor's... narrowness... what else can I say? Pearls before...?
Whatever the nation let’s value the immense contribution to OUR world of utterly sublime music.
Ouvir esta cantata , nesse nível de execução, é um êxtase místico totalmente divino! Bach é pura misericórdia, em forma musical.
あなた様の演奏は大変すばらしいです。すばらしい楽曲でありお聴きされている方々も生きてこの曲を聴けたことに感謝でいっぱいではないでしょうか。私もこの楽曲の生演奏は初めてです。ありがとうございました。以前この楽曲の L P 音源のものをアップいたしましたが演奏者を間違えてしまい今回非公開としました。何か涙が自然と流れます。感謝
