Was diese Interpretation (man findet auch von Koopman andere Aufnahmen) für mich so besonders macht, ist die vielleicht einzigartige Tempowahl. Man hat den Eindruck, dass diese für alle der großartigen Musizierenden stimmig ist, weshalb alles wie ein bestens funktionierender und gut koordinierter Organismus einheitlich erscheint. Großartig.
Jean Lecomte - Il n'y a pas beaucoup de Français dans ces commentaires ! C'est tout à fait magnifique, tout est parfait, je ne me lasserai pas d'écouter ce chef d’œuvre de J.S. Que dire de plus que tout est parfait, de l'enregistrement au choix des solistes, y compris bien sur Klaus Martens, superbe basse. Quant à Tom Koopman, il a construit cette œuvre avec tous ces musiciens, il a raison d'en être fier, un régal .Bravo et merci.

Like others here, I have heard many BWV 140s, and feel lucky this is isn't just audio. The pace is good, and there are moments in the opening where it achieves what feels (to me) like pulses of joy that this cantata is all about.
Christopher this Cantata is all about : Matthew chapter 25 King James Version 1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Mijn vroew says to me it's time to get a life. But you know what? When you hear this,life stops for a moment and you realize there is some small redemption for humankind. Thanks to Bach and great choir of the Netherlands. If you are deaf I am so sorry. Maybe in the next life. Because this is a small part of what heaven might be. Danke schoene, Bach.
But the point is... God gave us Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelsohn, Schubert, etc. So that we may enjoy the glory of music played and sung by the great orchestras and choirs which we behold here.
Bach is one of many great Christian Composers. I listen to him every day, especially with the instruments of that time. His cantatas relate to the Bible that Martin Luther translated from the Greek and Hebrew Scriptures, the most influential Bible in German. They are lovely pieces. God Bless. Bach ist einer von vielen großen christlichen Komponisten. Ich höre ihm jeden Tag zu, besonders mit den Instrumenten dieser Zeit. Seine Kantaten beziehen sich auf die Bibel, die Martin Luther aus der griechischen und hebräischen Schrift übersetzt hat, der einflussreichsten Bibel in Deutsch. Sie sind schöne Stücke. Gott segne.
tony D well Bach lived his life for God! Look what gifts were given to him, why do you need proof, can you not feel your soul? When people live without belief in God they inevitably commit terrible atrocities. Nazi, Germany, USSR et Cetera.
@@diogenesofsinope1638 Hey I never tread on an ant intentionally - and I do not believe in gods or angels - but I do believe in ants and the importance of all living creatures. and (omg) the chorale just started!
Ja zo doe je dat dus, een schitterende uitvoering geven van deze prachtige cantate. Marcel Ponseele op hobo, beter kan al niet. Fantastisch koor met leden die er helemaal voor gaan. Precies het goed ritme, prachtige locatie en ga zo maar door... Helemaal top.
This performance by the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and Choir, Tom Koopman, Conductor, is quite characteristic of what Bach would have had available for integrating BWV 140 into its debut Meeting at the Thomaskirche. In the United States, my dream venue for recording this Cantata would be Adolphus Busch Hall, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, which has a beautiful III/33 D. A. Flentrop permanently installed and can accommodate the resources of the Authentic Music Society, incl. a two-manual harpsichord, on the main floor for the purpose.
I would be so happy if God exist He would then listen to o this music and other pieces from Bach Mozart Haendel ....... Perhaps He would think in spite all evil in their world these people deserve that I save them from this world and also a meaningless eternity. music Bach Mozart Haendel etc
I would be so happy if God did not exist. I would never then have to give account of all the pettinesses, small betrayals, spitefulness, and other things that render most of us the plain boiled rice at Hell's banquet. But, thank to God, Jean Louis, it is not for Bach or Nicolai or Bourgeois or Goudimel to save us, but for the Lord Jesus Christ, who became man, bore our sins in his body on the tree, and rose on third day to save us. It is in thanks to him and for the salvation he brought that Bach and these others gave praise.
@@kephahor4251 Happy is the one who's sins are forgiven. Read Psalm 32. Yes you are right I was scared too. But the joy of my sins forgiven gave soo much freedom! God loves us..!
@@kephahor4251 Hi Kepha. Please listen to BWV 131 from Jos van Veldhoven. A marvellous joy when they sing about God delivering them from their sins. Yes it hurts. But being healed....is great.
Oboe da cacchia. (=hunting oboe) There is a special video at YT about it. Its made of wood, the corpus covered in black leather, with a wide open bell of brass.
Bass soloist is quite good. Soprano soloist needs help with German pronunciation and flat notes. Concertmaster is outstanding, as well as the other instrumental soloists. Tempos seem to be rushed.
Nice interpretation. But Harnoncourt's with straight tempo and the boys singing the chorale above the other voices is still superior. When I hear this, God exists.
Interesting perception, although I do not share your impression. Ton Koopman is known as a joyful interpreter of Bach’s music, be it as a conductor or as an organist and harpsichordist. Do you find the setting too formal or even intimidating? I hope you can hear the difference between a masterly interpretation like this one and, say, Celtic Woman making a mockery of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring".
The Parable on which this Cantata is based : Matthew chapter 25 1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Attention to musical line brings out the best in vocal musical articulation not only in Phrasing but also dynamic interpretation. World Class performance by World Class group. Oh and not to forget the driving rhythm dotted eighths with sixteenth "that you could drive a truck through " as we say in the Midwest Lutheran Choral Tradition, that even the great tenor Steven Rooster would agree.
I know of no composer... no artist of any kind... who can so effortlessly inspire great joy and tears, optimism and understanding, a kind of human redemption and, finally, hope. It doesn't matter if the God of JS Bach exists or not; his music substantiates and makes real the idea of God, and Goodness. His ability to communicate with us, centuries later and for all time, will continue to insure that the human race does not ultimately fall prey to darkness. All we need do is listen well.
His God exists and this music provides us with yet another proof for his existence. Bach's music and what it causes within the listener cannot be explained by naturalism.
@Chess Tauren I'm a non-believer myself, but I can still appreciate the beauty and singularity of Bach's "sacred" music. If you can't look beyond the religious origins of his work, well, I feel sorry for you, my friend.
Rendering by Koopman, choir and orchestra - besides audio recording - shines us till felt tears - even to almost atheists reminds them of highest religious thoughts! Ah, Bach, profoundly marvelous, complex and inventive, highest person of all world music indeed! Performan Koopman, coral y orquesta - además del audio - brillando a nosotros hasta sentidas lágrimas - mismo a los casi ateos los recuerda la más altiva religiosidad! Ah, Bach, profundidad maravillosa, compleja y inventiva, la más alta persona sin duda de toda la música del mundo! O que conseguem Koopman, coro e orquestra - além do áudio gravado - nos brilham até sentidas lágrimas - mesmo aos quase ateus os recorda de enorme religiosidade! Ah, Bach, profundamente maravilhoso, complexo e inventivo, a pessoa mais altiva certamente de toda a música mundial!
Realmente, ¿ puede existir alguien que no disfrute con esta música? Bach es inconmensurable. Si no hubiera existido, habría que crearlo. Esto eleva el espíritu y lo acerca a Dios.... ✨
What is the human race? Do you think that In Music we have the most refined expression of that very thing? Or are words or visual image equal to it? I guess that the receiver defines their own best path to God...? I guess that the subscriber to this page would, like me, find Music to be the best medium for them. And, I would add that if it is Bach, then, you are blessed!!
In fact this is a funeral cantata. We must be prepared for the inevitable death that might descend upon us any moment. How to be prepared for the death? By all our life. Our life therefore must be without blemish. It is quite impossible assignment, but, if fallen not beyond the possibility if correction, we have the door wide open for our deep and sincere repentance in God - with the only condition: it must be done while we still exist in body in this world. Therefore, our life is in fact nothing else than singular and constant, uninterrupted preparation for the departure from this world - we came to - to the world we came from; in fact - a return to our original idea. And if we have been thoroughly prepared - then, and only then: Wir folgen all Zum FreudenSaal Und halten mit das Abendmal Abendmal - Last Supper; halten mit - to partake the Last Supper with God himself. But Bach had already led us into FreudenSaal and with him in God's presence we break the bread and drink the wine in Paradise.
Der Eingangschor ist aufgrund des zu wählendes Tempos eigentlich das schwierigste an dieser Kantate: Es kann zu langsam gewählt werden und wird dann im Verlauf träge, oder aber - und das ist meistens der Fall - das Tempo wird zu rasch genommen, dann ist die festliche Freude auf die Ankunft genommen. Ton Koopman hat nach meinem Empfinden hier genau richtig gewählt: ein "schreitendes" Tempo, das Freude und Feierlichkeit zugleich vermittelt.
![Bach: Cantate 'Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten - Dorothee Mields - Ton Koopman - Live Concert [HD]](/img/n.gif)
On dit que Bach parlait à dieu, je dis que Jean Sébastien me parle et touche mon coeur
Quel régal, de bon matin. Ça réconcilie avec l'humanité... Merci...
One of Bach's most evocative and meaningful compositions. It is time that in listening to such wisdom we awake from our lethargy and submit to Christ!
First heard this on a Naxos cd in 1990 and it still has the power to overwhelm the heart and soul!!! Laus Deo!!

1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Amen.

Yes they need to WAKE UP, but it's the end time they are lost. God bless you David, hopefully soon we go to where music is born!

Der Eingangschor ist aufgrund des zu wählendes Tempos eigentlich das schwierigste an dieser Kantate: Es kann zu langsam gewählt werden und wird dann im Verlauf träge, oder aber - und das ist meistens der Fall - das Tempo wird zu rasch genommen, dann ist die festliche Freude auf die Ankunft genommen. Ton Koopman hat nach meinem Empfinden hier genau richtig gewählt: ein "schreitendes" Tempo, das Freude und Feierlichkeit zugleich vermittelt.
c'est excellent sauf le diapason qui n'est pas celui actuel moi qui ait l'oreille absolue mais c'est très bien
Wundervolle Inszenierung, sehr disziplieniert und Stimmungsvoll......
♥️♥️
Höchst erbauliche Kulturpflege, vielen Dank W.H.
I'm here for the last chorale
In welcher Kirche wird diese Kantate aufgeführt?
Just realised that the solo violin is playing scordatura - does anyone know if this is accepted performance practice?
Rosemary Fraser absolutely this is standard practice and is in the original score
