Of course, Shunske Sato is an amazing violinist. But I’m totally taken with his beautiful, bright, wide open, and joyful direction here. You can see that he and the musicians are utterly connected. Stunning and inspired all around!
There is Joy in this music. The players and chorus alike are so enjoying each other’s performances. We see it and we feel it, even via TH-cam. To have actually been present when this was music being created would have been ‘a never to be forgotten’ experience of a life time. Such is the power of Bach 290 years later. Praise be to God amidst the horrendous acts of violence unfolding each and every day.
Welch großartige Aufnahme ❤. Die Freude an dieser wunderbaren Musik ist in jedem Musikergesicht zu sehen und viel mehr noch, zu hören! Eine große Freude es hier zu finden. Danke!
YOU ARE THE VERY BEST OF THE WHOLE WORLD , NO KIDDING! I AM MOVED AND SHATTERED TO MY BONES FROM DEEEEEEP GRATEFULNESS FOR YOUR ENORMOUS MASTERY OF AND DEEP RESPEKT FOR BACH' S GREATEST JEWEL OF JUBILEE AND JOY!!! GOSH, PEOPLE, YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE AND VENERATE AND LOVE YOU. EVERY SINGLE PERSON IS GIVING THEIR 100% , AUTHENTICALLY , PIOUSLY , JOYFULLY ☺️ ONE CAN ALSO FEEL THAT YOU HAVE HARMONY ON AN INTERPERSONAL LEVEL WITH EACH OTHER, NO COMPETITION WHATSOEVER , BUT ONLY JOY AND LOVE ARE BEAMING FROM YOU TO US AND OPEN OUR HEARTS ❤ YOU ARE SO MIRACULOUSLY CONTAGIOUS , THAAAANK YOU FOR THE GIFT YOU ARE AND THE GIFT YOU GIVE !!! ❤🙏💐🙏❤️
Heaven meets Earth. This is like never heard before. I am completely stunned. It made me cry tears of joy. Sato is a. pure Magician. More please for a real Merry Christmas 🎄. Thank you all. You opened Heaven for us!
This performance blows the mind clean of all earthly clutter!!! Must be the best performance of NBS that I have seen so far! Bach in Heaven was tapping his foot to this. In my next life I will sing with the NBS, for now I can listen. Thanks for making such music, we need it desperately to soothe our sick world.
Helm's ornaments in "Großer Herr," are so precisely executed that it reminds me of a figure skater entering a triple axel jump and then landing it with the greatest of ease.... absolutely inspiring.
Bach is no doubt listening and present, adding to the awe of this transcendent performance. How wonderful that his memory lives on and is celebrated with enduring passion.
Everyone on this recording is superb, but I have to say Ulrike Malotta is truly exceptional in "Bereite dich, Zion". The best rendition of this aria I have ever heard. It gives me chills.
What a wonderful performance! I love Netherlands Bach Society. You guys are the best. Life became so much fuller with you guys. Thank you and happy holidays and wish everyone healthy and happy and prosperous year of 2024!
Goosebumps. Brilliant is an understatement. Especially 19:35 Großer Herr, o starker König. How trumpets interact with the violins... and his impressive voice. WOW! Never heard this so beautiful! Many many thanks! 🙏
Clarity, lightness, body. The listener never fears for the performers and the work is uplifted for it. A half century of scholarship and instrumental development over the best efforts of the 1970s is so clearly heard here. The engineering is invisibly at the service of a recording for the ages.
What a great performance of this masterpiece. The music, the voices, the whole atmosphere. It’s just perfect. And I especially love this beautiful alto voice with its warm timbre ♥️ Thank you for this Christmas present 2023! Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
D’habitude, j’ose le dire, cet oratorio m’ennuie et j’évite d’entendre une vieille routine du pourtant immentissime JS.Bach. Là, miracle, un oratorio vif, fringant, une interprétation d’un collectif exceptionnel où la connivence est palpable ! Ouf! L’oratorio sort de son long hiver. Merci Nederlands Bach Society !
This has become a yearly ritual for me. Thanks for uploading this uplifting and beautiful work of Bach! This is how Christmas should actually feel like, when someone walks through the city, at least for adults. I guess it's too complicated for most kids and teenagers, but boy this fills me with joy, in an age where presents and such don't have such impact anymore.
I can assure you that even though I'm a teenager, I feel transcended the same way, if not more 😅. I don't think that this a matter of age. As well as it is not a matter of religion...
What a wonderful, uplifting performance of this masterwork! It has been a favourite of mine for the last 47 years, and I've enjoyed listening to many versions over that time. This offering ranks amongst the top for its spirit and musicality. It's great to have the English subtitles for the libretto, as well. I look forward to hearing the remaining five cantatas from the Netherlands Bach Society.
i've probably said this before but for me these performances are near-definitive for most of the works I have encountered on this wonderful channel - some of the singers are just utterly perfect Bachians.Matthias Helm does wonderful things in Grosser Herr (and has a most unusual articulated trill technique I actually really love)
Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieses perfekt komponierten Oratoriums 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 unvergleichliche Violinist-Dirigent leitet das ebenso ausgezeichnete Barockorchester im gut analysierten Tempo und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Alles ist wunderbar und frohe Weihnachten für alle!
A wonderful, professional performance of Bach. Local lighting. Open aperture. Moving camera in horizontal motion. Light sensitive camera. Wonderful, congratulations!
Thank you! Great musicality and sound of the whole ensemble. Wonderful soloists and I love to hear Ulrike Malottas gorgeous voice and phrasing in your recording.
I was wondering if your smaller-chorus format would have the required impact for the opening chorus of the Oratorio. Well... absolutely you do! The articulation, colour and full-sound are just great. I've listened to many Christmas Oratorios and this is the best one I've heard.

I am living in the Netherlands and I am able to attend all the beautiful concerts of the Nederlandse Bachvereniging. Lucky me!
How wonderful for you!! I am so jealous of you...the good kind.. 😊 continue to enjoy this sublime music. Some day I hope to too in person.
How truly blessed you are!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So blessed you are!
Some of us are listening from South Africa, bringing great joy to us.
Lucky one ❤
Thank you God for Bach.
Thank you God for people like these who have devoted their lives to performing Bach.
Our lives are simply better for both.
Acho que todas a obras de Bach antes de começar, era precedida por oração e todas DEUS o abençoava. Amem.
Listening from Tanzania 🇹🇿
Bach my favorite composer the GOAT,
Netherlands Bach Society, you're the best🎉
Bach is surely smiling in Heaven listening to this exhilarating performance
Of course, Shunske Sato is an amazing violinist. But I’m totally taken with his beautiful, bright, wide open, and joyful direction here. You can see that he and the musicians are utterly connected. Stunning and inspired all around!
It's Netherlands Bach Society when you click the like button before even listening to the music 🤩
Thank you. I could not live without a regular dose of NBS Bach. Best thing on TH-cam.
Yo tampoco podría vivir sin mi dosis de Bach.
It happens the same to me !!!! Greetings from Uruguay!
Pure joy! Van ❤ bedankt - for all of these wonderful experiences through the years! 🥹
The GOAT Bach Tenor🔥
This is a glimpse of what Heaven will be like - Soli Deo Gloria

Terrible éclat de joie et d’émotion! Quelle musicalité, quelles voix, et ces visages si radieux…. Merci infiniment 🧡
Are you going to record a complete version of the christmas oratorio? You guys are literally the best ensemble in the world for playing Bach.
Thanks! And yes, we recorded cantata 1-3 last year and will record 4-6 next year
I remember seeing a recording of the christmas oratorio from you, but I cant find it now when I search it up@@bach
No, they're not. They're one of the best.
I wouldn't know about "literally"..., but musically...for sure😊
@@bach Where can I find it? I didn't find it on TH-cam

Bach is a transcendental experience. ❤️❤️🥰

Glorious :) Also - many thanks for well translated and explained subtitles that help those of us that don't understand German well.
Bach gives us hope for humanity !!
素晴らしい歌&演奏をありがとうございます!みなさんの表情、笑顔も素敵で贅沢な音のハーモニーですね！
To have the level of dedication and discipline and still to hold such observable joy, Sato is a remarkable human.
Wundervolle Aufführung ! Bach ist wie Heimkommen ! Vielen Dank !

Great performance, habe es selten so gut gehört. Was für ein überragender Bass in einem großartigen Ensemble, super geleitet von Sato.
Agreed!!! 🎺📯
Bach will slake and moisturize the dryness of the soul
So glorious! So beautifully interpreted!

Fantastic! The music dances ...
Great performance! And what wonderful alto!
As always, music of the highest order, thank you..
Торжественная, энергичная, светлая музыка от любимиго Bach.

Impresionante nivel: el maestero Sato, los solistas, todos...
Tout ceci est merveilleux et grandiose ! Merci merci merci !
The epitome of refinement. Whenever I hear them I'm moved to tears. Their love of music is so comforting.

interpretazione davvero sublime con grnde attenzione al senso dei testi di questa prima cantata dell'Oratorio di Natale!
Classical music, a magnetic force that draws us into a world of grace, where the harmonies linger and the echoes of emotion resonate eternally. 🌌🎹
A wonderful performance
Thank you NBS🎄
Zo mooi! En de vreugde die iedereen uitstraalt gaat zo naar mijn hart!
I literally started watching all of the cantatas because I had this chorale in my head and couldn't place it. Monumental.
A wonderful, professional performance of Bach. Local lighting. Open aperture. Moving camera in horizontal motion. Light sensitive camera. Wonderful, congratulations!
You are doing real Jauchzet guys! All of you are so happy and full of power. It's so good to watch it.Thank you all!
A performance of Bach full of nuances that fill the soul!! Thank you for this masterpiece!!!👏👏👏👏
Really nice to see Sato actually conducting now. Really good performance too.
Cuando escucho este oratorio vuelvo a creer en el ser humano! ♥️♥️♥️
El mejor regalo de Navidad!!! Gracias por esta obra tan bella...
Que interpretação intensa! Simplesmente espetacular. Ótimo presente de Natal. Muito obrigado!👏👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Y con que gusto lo interpretan: magníficos!!!
Thank you! Great musicality and sound of the whole ensemble. Wonderful soloists and I love to hear Ulrike Malottas gorgeous voice and phrasing in your recording.
Superbe !
Allways, wonderful!!❤❤
Deus seja louvado em Cristo e através de Bach para sempre!
Wat waanzinnig mooi gedaan!
👏👏👏👏👏and a huge BRAVO from Croatia.🙂
Subtitles was grate thank you 🫶🫶
If Bach were to be reborn, it would be in the Netherlands. Thanks for this stunning performance. Gefeliciteerd!
Once a Saxon always a Saxon.
Wow! Thank you!!
I was wondering if your smaller-chorus format would have the required impact for the opening chorus of the Oratorio. Well... absolutely you do! The articulation, colour and full-sound are just great. I've listened to many Christmas Oratorios and this is the best one I've heard.
Extraordinary! Merry Christmas from Denver!
Goosebumps!
Fan-Tastic! Thanks!!
Einfach sehr schön!
