Yes, Bach’s genius is almost incomprehensible. Where did he pick up such wonder of melodic richness all the time? Week after week, a new cantata every Sunday, five seasons, 300 of them, of which 200 remain.
YT: What would you like to here today, sir? Me: Bach! YT: Excellent choice, sir. Same as yesterday, sir, but still a good choice! Me: No day, neither good nor bad, can pass without Bach! YT: So, I'll bring it Bach tomorrow, too? Me: ...that was a bad pun...
Une fois de plus Luciana Mancini crêve l'écran et la scène avec cette éternelle engagement profond, total, magnifique. Quelle grande artiste et Bach lui va à merveille. J'adore
I just discovered you before Christmas 2022, and you have added so much beauty and pleasure to my life in the last few weeks! Your group is stunning and illustrates the principle of Divine Perfection in your singing and musicianship. Thank you so much for being here! 🤩
Dear friends o the NBS, we all have a huge debt of gratitude towards you for the wonderful work you are doing. There is hardly one day when I don't see your videos. Thank you sooo much
Another awesome job done NBS! Entire ensemble demonstrating wholesome understanding of the composition, hard to match musical and technical skills and, last but certainly not least a recording master REALLY knowing how to make the very best of an acoustically favourable venue. All in all: 11 out of 10.
Ogni volta che il Signor Bach si cimenta con un genere crea un modello (insuperabile e insuperato). Il più meraviglioso dono della musica al pianeta Terra, il Signor Bach. Senza dubbio.
Guarda...Ti dico soltanto che 6 anni di Psicofarmaci Depakin Fevarin e Xanax non mi hanno tolto né l'ansia né gli attacchi di panico né la Depressione. Poi sono passato a Bach e al lavoro e sono guarito diventando una roccia. Gli Psicofarmaci li ho gettati nella spazzatura 😊❤ Soli Deo Gloria onore al grande Kappellmeister di Lipsia 👑 🙏 ❤ ✨ 🎇 🎆 🌌🌞🪐 Saluti da Lecce Barocca 🏖⛪🕍😊
what an outstanding ensemble, what glorious music. I particularly love the alto aria accompanied by the low rumble and earthen timbre of the low strings. Awesome.
Comme toujours, parfait 🤩 Merci pour ce travail titanesque et vertueux d'enregistrer toute l'œuvre de Bach 👍 Cette œuvre exceptionnelle, une fois achevée, devrait être inscrite au patrimoine culturel immatériel de l’UNESCO 🏳️🌈
ALL OF THESE CANTATS ARE SUCH MARVEL´S THAT PICKING A FAVORITE WOULD BE LIKE CHOOSING A FAVORITE CHILD. THEY ARE JUST MARVELOUS, BARE IN MIND THAT EACH ONE IN ORDER TO BE FULLY UNDERSTOOD,, REQUIRES MANY REPITITIONS OF LISTENING IN ORDER TO ABSORB THE MUSICAL FORCES AT WORK HERE. BACH IS AN OUTSTANDING MUSICAL FIGURE, AS ARE THE PERFORMERS IN THIS NETHERLANDS BACH SOCIETY. IF ONE CANTATA DOES NOT TOUCH YOU, JUST KEEP REPEATING WITH SOME TIME IN BETWEEN EACH AUDITION UNTIL YOU FINALLY UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE THESE CANTATAS ARE ONE OF THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFTS WHICH HUMANITY HAS RECEIVED FROM THE 18TH CENTURY-
What a grandiose piece, which I have never heard before! While listening, I couldn't help asking myself what other composer it reminded me, then I found it: Telemann, with his excellent mastery of colorful orchestration. And also Vivaldi, in some ways, for both lyrism and religious compositions. Anyway, a remarkable piece, played by dedicated musicians.
Bach learned to write melodies from Vivaldi, after his music became available to the place Bach was working at the time, he obviously could have taken more knowledge or inspiration from Vivaldi -since we can't know for sure-, but i havent read anyone claiming he learned more than melodies from Vivaldi
Prachtig! Ontroerend mooie uitvoering. De interpretatie van Luks heeft me geraakt. 7 maart 2020, dus dat moet het laatste concert vóór de corona pandemie en lock-down zijn geweest. Fantastisch dat dit is opgenomen. Veel dank.
My gratitude to all who made this wonderful gift to humanity: NBS musicians and singers performing Bach's cantatas. I become mesmerized each and every time I watch them on TH-cam! Thanks also for inviting my favorite alto Luciana Mancini ( I watched her sing in Vivaldi's oratorio Juditha triumfans with an exquisite artistry ). Thank you, W. Brouwer!

Luciana Mancini, alto et quelle belle voix ! Un petit air de Sara Mingardo. (Inviterez-vous cette dernière un jour ? Elle avait fait un beau passage avec JE Gardiner dans BWV 63 (Christen ätzet disen Tag) Et Lucie Chartin, qui avait été très convaincante dans la cantate du café. Merci pour cette belle prestation ! On a envie de féliciter tout le monde !
I am revisiting this work after discovering it recently, as a subscriber. The performance from this group always exceeds expectations. Such reverence for the music and it’s meaning. We are blessed to be “present”. Thanks.
Bach's genius is present and recognizable from the first to the last note of the Trauer Ode. In the last choir, Bach's idea of making the choir sing in unison when the words "Sie ist der Tugend Eigentum" etc. are said, is absolutely brilliant. Those are the words "we would like to read", as is sung before. The perfect agreement of all of us is translated into Bach music with unison. Chills!
Quoi de plus beau que cette merveilleuse cantate si bien dirigée, orchestrée, comprise avec un choeur d'une exceptionnelle qualité et des musiciens excellents. Chapeau bas !
The last concert that I went to was on the 12th of March, 2020. The next day everything started to shut down, even the bar we visited before going. It’s been a full year now. Can’t wait for normal to return!
I did not know this piece until I heard it here. What a wonderful introduction to it! I shall return again and again to listen to this. Wonderful singing and playing! Thank you NBS!
The Traur ode must be the no most beautiful and moving piece that Bach ever wrote so wonderfully played thank you to this special group of musicians and singers I absolutely loved it 😂
Sans doute une des plus belles et des plus émouvantes cantates de JS Bach. Quel plaisir de retrouver Václav Luks à la tête de l'orchestre de la Netherlands Bach Society. Parmi les solistes tous excellents, je note particulièrement l'interprétation remarquable de Luciana Mancini de cet extraordinaire aria d'alto " Wie starb die Heldin so vergnügt! " . Je recommande d'écouter Juditha Triumphans où Luciana Mancini est Juditha dans le concert donné cet été avec l'Orchestra Lorenzo Da Ponte magnifiquement dirigé par Roberto Zarpellon.
Eine wunderschöne Kantate, komponiert anlässlich der Trauerfeier zum Tode der Frau von "August der Starke", Christiane Ebahardine. Es gab im Vorfeld der Feierlichkeiten in Leipzig Streit darum, wer die Musik dazu komponieren sollte. Die Wahl fiel letztendlich auf JSB.
Bach - not only the great composer, but also the great dramaturge! Most passionate performance. I wish the starting point could be a little bit slower, in order to prolong the enjoyment of hearing the beautiful performance. Bravi to the conductor, the choir, the orchestra and all the soloists. Thanks NBS!
Mancini is a goddess! Whata rich tone, and equally good in Latin (Vivaldi's Juditha Triumphans) as with this magnificent piece in German. And has been said many times, NBS is just perfect.
It is very interesting how Bach control the composition according with the situation, here a funeral cantata. The recitations and aries are with a great number, given a lent cantata movement, although the orchestration is outstanding .The soprano, alto, tenor and bass are great voices.
Another Terrific J.S.Bach creation and wonderful interpretation; I´m really impressed with the team from the Netherlands Bach Society. Thanks for share with Us; is a valuable experience
As always, a precious gift sent to the world by these extraordinary musicians. Thank you for your tremendous talents and interpretation of this immense music. You bring it alive for the ages!
It is hard to believe but under the direction of Vaclav Luks and Shunske Sato the NBS is even growing in dynamics, phrasing, expression and care for detail. This is a very deep and emotional performance. In the unsurpassed aria 'Wie starb die Heldin so vergnügt!' the tones of the lutes fall like tears fall from the soul and one feels how sad and 'laborious' it is to die and to let go. Sterven is een werkwoord..
I’d enjoy playing with the conductor; he has an articulate approach that seems in keeping with Baroque performance. The opening aria of part II is an incredible moment of Bach’s continuing musical transcendence.
I found this Cantata quite different from those I am used to hear (perhaps due to my ignorance). Indeed, a wonderful one in its music. As to Netherlands Bach Society, I'll never get how their choirs can perform with such an amazing sonority with so little number of persons. Outstanding execution!
It is different because it is a secular cantata, therefore it is not liturgical music and does not contain, for example, Lutheran chorales. Although it is a funeral cantata, it did not accompany any rite but was written for a civil commemoration for the death of Christiane Eberhardine, formally Queen of Poland but who was never enthroned because she refused to convert from Lutheranism to Catholicism. The style is typical of these works, for example the first chorus is essentially a large funeral march of the "French" style (in dotted rhythm), the recitatives are strongly characterized in dramatic style (with extended declamatory passages tending towards the arioso) and the arias include parts for obbligato instruments and have a character that is all in all quite "operatic" even if it is very elaborate music and serious in tone (given the subject). Even the final chorus, in the form of a rondo, although rather severe in thone is reminiscent of the concluding choruses of certain baroque melodrams where the moral of the story is affirmed. In this case there is no moral but there are the only vey vague religious references in the entire cantata.
Nein, sie ist nicht Sara Mingardo. Sie ist Lucia Mancini. Es ist nicht fair, jemanden als "die jüngere Version von" zu bezeichnen. Damit tut man zwei Künstlerinnen Unrecht. Und auch wenn sie sich vom Aussehen ähneln, sind ihre Stimmen doch sehr verschieden. Auch ich freue mich, Lucie Chartin wieder mit der NBS zu sehen. Ich höre öfter ihre Kaffeekantate. Und für Vaclav Luks war einfach Zeit! Danke für die wunderbare Aufnahme!
This was an absolute joy to listen to! There's usually no point to highlight anyone in such great music by musicians that are among the best, but sometimes i guess we do in the nature of baroque art, because the "Wie starb die Heldin so vergnugt!" along with it's recitative is to me one of the most beautiful not only soprano, but vocal performances I've heard in a while and it was quite inspiring
20:57 - this followed the sermon in the funeral service. After the sermon used words to show the importance of the electress this piece put it to music. This is a very meaningful and technically tough piece. Today it is good for cleaning out the sinuses.
Another exquisite performance of a Bach masterpiece by the NBS. I particularly love the rendition of "Wie starb die Heldin so vergnugt" by alto Luciana Mancini and this brings up a particular question for me. Why is there a preference in period Baroque performances for male countertenors over female altos? Is it just a matter of availability? I don't mean to denigrate the many excellent countertenors deployed by the NBS and other groups but I can't be the only one who prefers female altos. In addition to retaining a sex balance in the four ranges SATB the low female voice has a kind of dark richness that comes out especially in solo numbers that male countertenors cannot match. Can anyone enlighten me on this trend?
Let, Princess, another ray descend from the starry vault of Jerusalem and look with how many gushes of tear we sorround your monument. Your Saxony, your dismay Meissen stand motionless in front of your royal grave. The eyes weep, the tongue screams: my pain is indescribable! Here cry Augustus, the prince and the country, the nobility groans, the citizen brings mourning, how the people mourned you as soon as they learned your destiny! Be quiet, be quiet, sweet strings! There is no sound that could express the sadness of our nation in the face of the death (painful word!) of its beloved mother. May the flickering sound of the bells arouse the fear in our afflicted souls with its resonant bronze and penetrate us in our marrow and in our blood. Oh, if only this anguished sound that rumbles every day in our ears could bear witness of our pain to the whole of Europe! With what serenity our heroine died! How bravely fought her spirit, when it stopped the arm of the death before it conquered her chest. Her life showed the art of dying as a constant practice; it was therefore not possible for her to turn pale in front of death. Ah, blessed is the great spirit of him who rise above nature, who in front of the grave and the coffin doesn't tremble, when his Creator calls him to Himself. In you, great woman model, in you, sublime queen, in you, guardian of the faith, we have contemplated this greatness of mind. The eternal abode of sapphire takes away, princess, your serene gaze from our mediocrity and extinguishes the corrupt image of the world. The shining light of a hundred suns that makes our day a midnight and trasforms our sun in darkness sorrounded your transfigured face. How wonderful is it? You deserve it. You, model of all the queens! You deserved all the ornaments that now transfigure your face. Therefore you bring, in front of the throne of the Lamb, instead of the vanity of purple a robe of pure as a pearl innocence and mock the abbandoned crown. To the banks of the Vistula and where flow the Dniester and the Warta, to the mouths of the Elbe and the Mulde, cities and countries celebrate you. Your Torgau dresses in mourning, your Pretzsch is without strenght, prostrate and motionless for having lost you it lost the delight of its eyes. No, princess, you don't die, we know what you mean for us. Posterity will not forget you until this world collapses. Poets, wright! We want to read: "She has been the embodiment of the virtues, the joy and the boast of her subjects, the glory of all the queens.".
My favourite Bach-Cantata (or Bach-piece) in a terrific version. Especially the ending-choir with its unison-parts is rousing and generates goose-bumps. Like Gardiners recording it also has the right tempo. Sara Mingardo became younger? Oh no, its Luciana Mancini! Could be Mingardo's daughter...and also her voice is similar. A real belladonna.

Сочетание реального, земного и возвышенного, божественного в музыке Баха происходит очень естественно, гениально просто и ясно.
Almost every single Bachcantata is a revelation. This one is no exception from that . A sublime piece.
Yes, every cantate is a summit, this one belongs to the very best.
Yes, Bach’s genius is almost incomprehensible. Where did he pick up such wonder of melodic richness all the time? Week after week, a new cantata every Sunday, five seasons, 300 of them, of which 200 remain.
Tremendously moving, almost from the very first few notes. No composer ever matched Bach for almost immediate emotional impact.
I so agree.
I could agree til i discovered Zelenka
Yes, Well said!
Tremendously ? Ecoutez donc l'entrée de BWV 54 "Wiederstehe doch der Sünde"
The opening to St John's Passion would be one of my favourite examples of this.
Beautiful. One of Bach's finest. And that alto has an incredibly beautiful voice.
Agreed!
She has the voice of an angel.
Most certainly!
There's no better way to end (or to start!) a day than a new upload-especially a cantata-from the NBS! Thank you so much for your service to humanity!

The last concert I went to see in Amsterdam. Two days later an harpsichord violin concert in the Zeist Palace. Thereafter everything closed down.
God has revealed himself in general and special revelation and in the compositions of J.S. Bach.
What a perfection on directing an orquestra and the voices. Sublime.
Great performance, everyone! My favorite aria is 'Der Ewigkeit'--sung wonderful by you, Mr. Hobbs!
@Tom Berryhill I don't think so! Suzuki has recorded the whole aria, as have Koopman and Gardiner.
I did not know this piece until I heard it here. What a wonderful introduction to it! I shall return again and again to listen to this. Wonderful singing and playing! Thank you NBS!
What a 'cantata' ! Wonderful, thank you very much !
Danke schön für diese wunderbare Darbietung. Ich bin mir sicher, sie hätte Bach sehr gefallen.

Mancini is a goddess! Whata rich tone, and equally good in Latin (Vivaldi's Juditha Triumphans) as with this magnificent piece in German. And has been said many times, NBS is just perfect.
en effet le recitatif et l’air de mme Mancini sont admirables …
Вот, это настоящая Европейская ценность, которую я и уважаю и почитаю!
A marvelous cantata, the last tenor aria ist extremely nostalgic, a reminder of old times that will never come again.

Awesome Video! Thank you!
Para mí sois los mejores intérpretes de Bach. Every day I listen to some cantata performed by your group.
The archlute's arm is so big that it always seems to be on the scene. This is cool.
The ever intrusive Theorbo necks! Hahaha
Apparently copies of Matteo Buchenberg Rome 1603.
Bach probably employed two mandoras in this cantata. Such instruments would have had an easier time cutting through the ensemble.
Wow, thank you NBS
As riveting and committed a performance of a Bach cantata as I ever have heard. Hoomeyow!!
Fantastisch mooie uitvoering. Hartelijk dank!
Je vous remercie pour ce réveil de bonheur intense je vous aime très très fort sincèrement mon amour 💘merci ❤

Gorgeous, especially the short aria at 20:55.
Adoro J.S.Bach, dai tempi in cui , bambina, mi accostai a Lui suonando "Il libro di Maddalena"...
I’d enjoy playing with the conductor; he has an articulate approach that seems in keeping with Baroque performance. The opening aria of part II is an incredible moment of Bach’s continuing musical transcendence.
I thought conductors were fairly uncommon in the Baroque era
@@llamallama1509 Bach used to conduct his own cantatas every sunday! He also played the barokorgel/harpsichord himself.
Très belle interprétation pour cette cantate magnifique, merci !
I found this Cantata quite different from those I am used to hear (perhaps due to my ignorance). Indeed, a wonderful one in its music. As to Netherlands Bach Society, I'll never get how their choirs can perform with such an amazing sonority with so little number of persons. Outstanding execution!
It is different because it is a secular cantata, therefore it is not liturgical music and does not contain, for example, Lutheran chorales. Although it is a funeral cantata, it did not accompany any rite but was written for a civil commemoration for the death of Christiane Eberhardine, formally Queen of Poland but who was never enthroned because she refused to convert from Lutheranism to Catholicism. The style is typical of these works, for example the first chorus is essentially a large funeral march of the "French" style (in dotted rhythm), the recitatives are strongly characterized in dramatic style (with extended declamatory passages tending towards the arioso) and the arias include parts for obbligato instruments and have a character that is all in all quite "operatic" even if it is very elaborate music and serious in tone (given the subject). Even the final chorus, in the form of a rondo, although rather severe in thone is reminiscent of the concluding choruses of certain baroque melodrams where the moral of the story is affirmed. In this case there is no moral but there are the only vey vague religious references in the entire cantata.
Magnifique !

Nein, sie ist nicht Sara Mingardo. Sie ist Lucia Mancini. Es ist nicht fair, jemanden als "die jüngere Version von" zu bezeichnen. Damit tut man zwei Künstlerinnen Unrecht. Und auch wenn sie sich vom Aussehen ähneln, sind ihre Stimmen doch sehr verschieden. Auch ich freue mich, Lucie Chartin wieder mit der NBS zu sehen. Ich höre öfter ihre Kaffeekantate. Und für Vaclav Luks war einfach Zeit! Danke für die wunderbare Aufnahme!
Vraiment superbe !
BRavo !!!!
This was an absolute joy to listen to! There's usually no point to highlight anyone in such great music by musicians that are among the best, but sometimes i guess we do in the nature of baroque art, because the "Wie starb die Heldin so vergnugt!" along with it's recitative is to me one of the most beautiful not only soprano, but vocal performances I've heard in a while and it was quite inspiring
Bravo!! Excelente interpretación. Felicitaciones.
maravillosa. una de mis cantatas preferidas. gracias!
Lovely! 😊
Ein musikalischer Genuß.
20:57 - this followed the sermon in the funeral service. After the sermon used words to show the importance of the electress this piece put it to music. This is a very meaningful and technically tough piece.
Today it is good for cleaning out the sinuses.
Œuvre admirable ainsi que l'interprétation .
Sehr schöne! Danke schön
A perfect performance
Merveilleuse Luciana Mancini !
Thanks!
Another exquisite performance of a Bach masterpiece by the NBS. I particularly love the rendition of "Wie starb die Heldin so vergnugt" by alto Luciana Mancini and this brings up a particular question for me. Why is there a preference in period Baroque performances for male countertenors over female altos? Is it just a matter of availability? I don't mean to denigrate the many excellent countertenors deployed by the NBS and other groups but I can't be the only one who prefers female altos. In addition to retaining a sex balance in the four ranges SATB the low female voice has a kind of dark richness that comes out especially in solo numbers that male countertenors cannot match. Can anyone enlighten me on this trend?
Ein echter Genuß.
Grandiosa !
Let, Princess, another ray descend from the starry vault of Jerusalem and look with how many gushes of tear we sorround your monument.
Your Saxony, your dismay Meissen stand motionless in front of your royal grave. The eyes weep, the tongue screams: my pain is indescribable! Here cry Augustus, the prince and the country, the nobility groans, the citizen brings mourning, how the people mourned you as soon as they learned your destiny!
Be quiet, be quiet, sweet strings! There is no sound that could express the sadness of our nation in the face of the death (painful word!) of its beloved mother.
May the flickering sound of the bells arouse the fear in our afflicted souls with its resonant bronze and penetrate us in our marrow and in our blood. Oh, if only this anguished sound that rumbles every day in our ears could bear witness of our pain to the whole of Europe!
With what serenity our heroine died! How bravely fought her spirit, when it stopped the arm of the death before it conquered her chest.
Her life showed the art of dying as a constant practice; it was therefore not possible for her to turn pale in front of death. Ah, blessed is the great spirit of him who rise above nature, who in front of the grave and the coffin doesn't tremble, when his Creator calls him to Himself.
In you, great woman model, in you, sublime queen, in you, guardian of the faith, we have contemplated this greatness of mind.
The eternal abode of sapphire takes away, princess, your serene gaze from our mediocrity and extinguishes the corrupt image of the world. The shining light of a hundred suns that makes our day a midnight and trasforms our sun in darkness sorrounded your transfigured face.
How wonderful is it? You deserve it. You, model of all the queens! You deserved all the ornaments that now transfigure your face. Therefore you bring, in front of the throne of the Lamb, instead of the vanity of purple a robe of pure as a pearl innocence and mock the abbandoned crown. To the banks of the Vistula and where flow the Dniester and the Warta, to the mouths of the Elbe and the Mulde, cities and countries celebrate you. Your Torgau dresses in mourning, your Pretzsch is without strenght, prostrate and motionless for having lost you it lost the delight of its eyes.
No, princess, you don't die, we know what you mean for us. Posterity will not forget you until this world collapses. Poets, wright! We want to read: "She has been the embodiment of the virtues, the joy and the boast of her subjects, the glory of all the queens.".
My favourite Bach-Cantata (or Bach-piece) in a terrific version. Especially the ending-choir with its unison-parts is rousing and generates goose-bumps. Like Gardiners recording it also has the right tempo. Sara Mingardo became younger? Oh no, its Luciana Mancini! Could be Mingardo's daughter...and also her voice is similar. A real belladonna.
