Your recording engineers for sound and visuals deserve so much praise and appreciation. These recordings always exceed studio versions. You have true pros at NBS! Thanks
Despite the joyful nature of the piece, I find it extremely moving... the first few moments of the opening choral section brought tears to my old eyes.
Simply, Bach was a legend born personality. All of his works are so precious for me. Every time i listen to his music, i feel that i am sitting in a church praying God and surrounded by angels. I am so thankful to God for giving a gift to the whole world as Bach. Besides, this choral performance was also superb with excellent soloists. Thanks for uploading.
More importantly no carbohydrates or sugar! I say that after switching to a Keto diet this year, I haven't had so much energy and mental clarity since I was a teenager. My appreciation for such performances of Bach is greater. Hopefully the reduction of risk of diseases, from diabetes, cancer, alzheimers, etc. will allow me to continue to enjoy such performances for a long time, whilst sharing my time with people I love, contributing whatever I can.
The proverbial 10,000 hours to master an instrument, multiply that by the number of musicians/vocalists, can any gratitude match that in equal measure! You made my Christmas Season. Ever in your debt NBS!
Ô combien j 'aime ce morceau de musique grandiose , exquis : mon Bach , ces voix sublimes avec toutes leurs diversités , et cette superbe interprétation si talentueuse de tous ces instruments . J 'écouterais cela indéfiniment . Merci et bravo à tous !
The problem with this project is that, once you watch one performance, you end up getting dragged into watching another and another until you're up into the small hours.
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser kompakten doch perfekt komponierten Kirchenkantate mit gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors und herrlichen Stimmen vierer genialen Solisten sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Originalinstrumente. Der intelligente und erfahrene Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Barockensemble im lebhaften doch gut betrachteten Tempo und mit angenehmer Dynamik. Wundervoll vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
Θαυμάσιο!! Ότι καλύτερο για την ημέρα των Χριστουγέννων. Καλά Χριστούγεννα σε όλους. Wonderful!! All the best for Christmas day. Merry Christmas to all.
We should thank none others than Mary herself, and the evangelist Luke who, I'd like to think, interviewed Mary and persuaded her to tell this important part of what she had "treasured in her heart" about the origins of Jesus's birth thru her good offices. 😀 In other words she was not given vulgarly to blab intimate things to whomever. If she did consent to 'spill the beans' to Luke, I'm sure it helped that he in all things was the "Doubting Thomas," the clinical physician who would have abhored sensationalizing his medical interventions with patients who put their trust in him. So. No theologian and/or philologist I know of can explain conclusively where and how Luke, ever the believing but also the rigorous and messured clinician, got his informaton on this youthful prayer of Mary's. Maybe she had already written it down or had someone perform the service? No matter. It's the content that really matters in 2022. And what content! For one example, first have a good look at the titles of these neatly brief arias. Then take the prophecy that God the Father will [in his own due time]---His generous wheels of historical justice are slow---unseat the psychopath-unethical-cruel political leader. The libretto Bach uses is more playful, in a dark humor kind of way. Namely, said type of leader will be "knocked off his chair." I like to imagine the Dutch and/or German speaking performers getting a devilish little kick at this reformulation of the original wording of the scripture. Gospel to the people!! Like the fully protest-ant (and scrappy boy) Bach was! Alas the matter is anything but playful. Keywords "Ukraine," or "30 Years War" if you prefer. And "nuclear winter." There is much more, and the more incisive the better, to be said of this short but jam-packed prayer of Mary's. Just want to thank the Dutch NBS. For they represent a bullheadedly, freedom-loving and hospitable people if ever there waa one. A Christian people. if some individual does not confess it, or does not even know it, but behaves like Mary or Jesus: Amen! At long last we can look more to what they do than to what they say. Btw, that was just one more teaching by the most radical of them all (in my opinion). Marx's highly professional, painfully detailed analysis of the ravages of money to me is kids' stuff by comparison. "The love of money is the root of all evil" is NOT Kinderkram. Look at evil then follow the money, and "don't cry baby don't cry." (Paul Simon) Yes. This cantata breathes joy, despite the seemingly infinite sadness of the political and psychological pathologies at hand. It's why I stick with the beliefs of so many stubborn, salt of the earth ancestors. Here out in the "Wild West" they too had their share of oppressions, destructive stupidities, loss/grief, ETC. But they also treasured one reason after the other to believe that the darkside doesn't go as far as The Light. And yes they worked hard, played harder all within the basic rules of the God they worshiped. Thank Bach for the same, and for music 110% adequate to the tssk of bolstering proper "belief." Nobody has ever performed that service of encouragemrnt so doggedly but intelligently as he. And I'm.not the only one to think so.

Amen and from eternity to eternity. Amen.
Wenn man bedenkt, wie wenige Menschen damals diese Aufführung überhaupt erfahren durften? In der damaligen Zeit war es üblich "Altes" zu entsorgen und in Vergessenheit zu geraten. . Erstaunlich, dass sich bis heute so vieles erhalten hat von Bach und wir es heute wieder hören können. Dank auch Mendelson Bartholdi, der diese Kompositionen Jahre später wieder entdeckt hat. Aber wer weiß, wie vieles vernichtet wurde ?
i had hoped that you would publish the christmas oratorio bwv 248 right before christmas, I guess i'll have to wait till next. Still a great performance of this great cantata👌
@@bach ah ok, I thought you performed it in December 2020 already. Nevertheless, keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to Thursday every week to see what you guys are doing🙌
Sensationelle Aufführung! Nur in der Arie Nr. 4 ist die Continuostimme etwas langweilig, die Akkorde bleiben in der eingestrichenen Oktave. Da könnte man mehr machen.
Unfortunately not. We had already planned the recording of the Christmas Oratorio last December (2020), but had to cancel it due to the lockdown. We really hope that we will be able to record this work in December next year.
We definitely aim to provide for the english translations of the lyrics of all released works. It is time consuming though... so have patience and more and more translations will come.
All of Bach’s music represents The Divine. Would it be possible to have an English translation of the text? Would be great if we could correlate the words with the scriptural Text? This is just a thought.
Recently we started adding subtitles to our recordings bit by bit. It is a time consuming activity and our available time (and money) is limited. Therefore, we give priority to making new recordings. We plan to gradually increase the number of performances with subtitles. We have published English translations for all vocal works on our website (www.bachvereniging.nl/en/allofbach, select a work and go to the tab 'Texts'). In this way it is already possible to read the English translation of each vocal work published on All of Bach.
Thank you for your lovely words. Please find the English translation of the cantata text on our AllofBach-website. www.bachvereniging.nl/en/bwv/bwv-10 It contains a tab with 'Texts'. Thank you for your suggestion of correlating of the words with the scriptual Text. We will think about it!
Lutero - vide seu Comentário ao Magnificat (1518) e seu Hino "Sie ist mir lieb, die werte Magd" (1536) - e a Ortopraxia luterana viveram sua intensidade espiritual com Bach, representados nessa magnífica Cantata. Depois, post 1750, com a morte do grande Thomaskantor, irrompem a ortodoxia e s heterodoxia, verso e reverso da mesma moeda. Mas, como diz o clássico adágio, "scripta manent, verba volant", a Escritura está ai para que, por ela, orientes o teu caminho (Jo 14, 6).
honestly I like the version of ton koopman better- trumpet plays a very important roll in bach, this case it is the main theme : Tonus peregrinus well, in ton koopman's version the trumpet pierces through the orchestra and choir. I use this expression: the trumpet in bach is like the ridge of a mountain, it holds everything as it makes it's path, like a leader. in this version I barely hear it.
Despite the joyful nature of the piece, I find it extremely moving... the first few moments of the opening choral section brought tears to my old eyes.

The problem with this project is that, once you watch one performance, you end up getting dragged into watching another and another until you're up into the small hours.
... and you can listen to each piece again and again as there is so much to appreciate bar by bar!
Masterpieces have no time limit to be appreciated.
There are no problems!! Savour the experience, and thank God for the technology that can be put to such beneficial use!
Up into the small hours lost in the wonder and beauty of the music so excellently performed and presented

Wow, a full performance. Such talent, poise and artistry! Thank You for sharing. There are some unusual instruments. Excellent
The bass aria with the basson and the cello is fantastic.
Спасибо.
Всегда слушаю с большим удовольствием
As a happy atheist, I enjoy these vocal performances delivered in a language I don't understand.
Superb throughout. Griet de Geyter didn't just perform the aria, she gave a great gift. I think the duet was recycled as a Schubler chorale.
Wonderful!

Great Work NBS! Keep them coming!
So beautiful and cheerful, even playful. Love it!
We should thank none others than Mary herself, and the evangelist Luke who, I'd like to think, interviewed Mary and persuaded her to tell this important part of what she had "treasured in her heart" about the origins of Jesus's birth thru her good offices. 😀 In other words she was not given vulgarly to blab intimate things to whomever. If she did consent to 'spill the beans' to Luke, I'm sure it helped that he in all things was the "Doubting Thomas," the clinical physician who would have abhored sensationalizing his medical interventions with patients who put their trust in him.
So. No theologian and/or philologist I know of can explain conclusively where and how Luke, ever the believing but also the rigorous and messured clinician, got his informaton on this youthful prayer of Mary's. Maybe she had already written it down or had someone perform the service?
No matter. It's the content that really matters in 2022. And what content! For one example, first have a good look at the titles of these neatly brief arias. Then take the prophecy that God the Father will [in his own due time]---His generous wheels of historical justice are slow---unseat the psychopath-unethical-cruel political leader. The libretto Bach uses is more playful, in a dark humor kind of way. Namely, said type of leader will be "knocked off his chair." I like to imagine the Dutch and/or German speaking performers getting a devilish little kick at this reformulation of the original wording of the scripture. Gospel to the people!! Like the fully protest-ant (and scrappy boy) Bach was! Alas the matter is anything but playful. Keywords "Ukraine," or "30 Years War" if you prefer.
And "nuclear winter."
There is much more, and the more incisive the better, to be said of this short but jam-packed prayer of Mary's. Just want to thank the Dutch NBS. For they represent a bullheadedly, freedom-loving and hospitable people if ever there waa one. A Christian people. if some individual does not confess it, or does not even know it, but behaves like Mary or Jesus: Amen! At long last we can look more to what they do than to what they say. Btw, that was just one more teaching by the most radical of them all (in my opinion). Marx's highly professional, painfully detailed analysis of the ravages of money to me is kids' stuff by comparison. "The love of money is the root of all evil" is NOT Kinderkram. Look at evil then follow the money, and "don't cry baby don't cry." (Paul Simon)
Yes. This cantata breathes joy, despite the seemingly infinite sadness of the political and psychological pathologies at hand. It's why I stick with the beliefs of so many stubborn, salt of the earth ancestors. Here out in the "Wild West" they too had their share of oppressions, destructive stupidities, loss/grief, ETC. But they also treasured one reason after the other to believe that the darkside doesn't go as far as The Light. And yes they worked hard, played harder all within the basic rules of the God they worshiped.
Thank Bach for the same, and for music 110% adequate to the tssk of bolstering proper "belief." Nobody has ever performed that service of encouragemrnt so doggedly but intelligently as he. And I'm.not the only one to think so.

Unfortunately not. We had already planned the recording of the Christmas Oratorio last December (2020), but had to cancel it due to the lockdown. We really hope that we will be able to record this work in December next year.
@@bach Thank you anyway for this beautiful piece
Bach was the Secretariat of music.
Great But is that US House of Representatives member Paul Gosar (R-AZ) on the double base?
Absolutelly love this project, but i still miss the captions... english and spanish, if could be possible, please 🙏
We definitely aim to provide for the english translations of the lyrics of all released works. It is time consuming though... so have patience and more and more translations will come.
Grandi...
Sublime
All of Bach’s music represents The Divine. Would it be possible to have an English translation of the text? Would be great if we could correlate the words with the scriptural Text? This is just a thought.
Recently we started adding subtitles to our recordings bit by bit. It is a time consuming activity and our available time (and money) is limited. Therefore, we give priority to making new recordings. We plan to gradually increase the number of performances with subtitles.
We have published English translations for all vocal works on our website (www.bachvereniging.nl/en/allofbach, select a work and go to the tab 'Texts'). In this way it is already possible to read the English translation of each vocal work published on All of Bach.
Thank you for your lovely words. Please find the English translation of the cantata text on our AllofBach-website. www.bachvereniging.nl/en/bwv/bwv-10 It contains a tab with 'Texts'. Thank you for your suggestion of correlating of the words with the scriptual Text. We will think about it!
Un placer!!
Lutero - vide seu Comentário ao Magnificat (1518) e seu Hino "Sie ist mir lieb, die werte Magd" (1536) - e a Ortopraxia luterana viveram sua intensidade espiritual com Bach, representados nessa magnífica Cantata. Depois, post 1750, com a morte do grande Thomaskantor, irrompem a ortodoxia e s heterodoxia, verso e reverso da mesma moeda. Mas, como diz o clássico adágio, "scripta manent, verba volant", a Escritura está ai para que, por ela, orientes o teu caminho (Jo 14, 6).
honestly I like the version of ton koopman better- trumpet plays a very important roll in bach, this case it is the main theme : Tonus peregrinus
well, in ton koopman's version the trumpet pierces through the orchestra and choir. I use this expression: the trumpet in bach is like the ridge of a mountain, it holds everything as it makes it's path, like a leader.
in this version I barely hear it.
Just a dozen choristers - it works because they are all professionals.

Could have been called "Ein Deutsches Magnificat"
Te decet hymnus ...
Kkkkknkk
Despite the joyful nature of the piece, I find it extremely moving... the first few moments of the opening choral section brought tears to my old eyes.
