This final chorale is one of the most moving pieces Bach ever wrote... the emotion is so sublte it is impossible to capture with words... If Musick didn't exist you'd have to invent it!
You are absolutely right about subtlety. However, for once I have to differ from maestro Lutz about his interpretation. At this speed the impact of the syncopations in this chorus is lost, and the choir comes over as less than majestic. The tympani, essential to the rhythm, are too frequently inaudible. Those who get the speed right are Leonhardt (not available on the internet), Fritz Werner (con the inestimable advantage of having Maurice André on first trumpet) and, above all Leusink, whose forces are technically inferior to those of Lutz, tho' his tympanist is a star. The trumpeter here gets that top E, which many trumpeters fluff, but it would be more effective at a slower speed. Maestro Lutz must have his reasons for choosing this speed, and it would be interesting to know what he thinks.
@@mach1chap I listened to other interpretations of this work after reading your comment and I agree that I love the tempo at which Leonhardt set the last chorus (this was the first result on Spotify when I searched for this cantata). I do love Maestro Rudolf Lutz' interpretations in general, most especially that of Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern.

Sang this wonderful work yesterday with the Melbourne Bach Choir at All Saints St Kilda....what wonderful, uplifting and beautiful music to our great God and saviour! If I never sing it again it was a transcendent joy.
Für die Himmelfahrt, die 1738 in Leipzig gefeiert wurde. Der Meister ist wie immer ein ausgezeichneter Dolmetscher, herzlichen Glückwunsch! Fantastischer Kantate!
The One who gives the free gift of Everlasting Life to all who - like a child - simply believe in Him for it (John 3:16) , is glorified by this layered brilliance .
The Aria at 6:50 always "knocks me out." It literally puts me in a trance-like state. I can actually mouth the German words along with the soloist - (I only speak English).
Magnifique interprétation. Cette œuvre sera au programme de nos concerts 2024 à Strasbourg, en même temps que le Magnificat. Notre ensemble de 16 chanteurs est La Frattola, dirigée par Patrick Armand.
That counter-tenor, Jan Börner, is amazing, with a tone so pure, velvet-like, yet strong. (Singing the alto aria, "Ach, bleibe doch, mein liebstes Leben," he's mistakenly listed as an "Alto" in the persona list, above.)
Countertenors are altos. Almost all countertenors are altos, but not all altos are countertenors. If people want to specify female altos, they're called either contraltos or mezzo-sopranos, depending on where the individual's voice range lies. (And sometimes contraltos call themselves mezzos because it's very hard to get opera work if you call yourself a contralto.)
@@mwnyc3976 I was just going to explain the same thing you did so eloquently. You did so in a far better way than I could have done! But I also confess that it is difficult to get these differentiations correctly. I got myself informed when I met a very young Andreas Scholl at the beginning of his career and he was introduced as Alto or/+ Countertenor….

El Día de las Ascensión de Jesús a los Cielos se celebra 40 días después del Domingo de Resurrección y esta vez cayó el 18 de mayo y los suizos de Bachstiftung nos regalan esta cantata hoy 20 de mayo 2023!!! Y así otras cantatas respetando el calendario litúrgico, me gusta!! Esta cantata es muy bella, muy especial sobre todo el coro final, se me crispa la piel. Imagino a Bach imaginando a Jesús subiendo a los Cielos en música con toda la solemnidad debida, muy lindo en verdad. Lo que sí me apena es que han desmantelado la Iglesia, ya no veo el altar. Europa no debe de olvidar jamás su formación cristiana, temer a Dios nos enmienda y evita que nos hagamos daño. Saludos desde Lima.
It is a protestant church - there are no altars with this Christian confession. But in a way, you are right: Europe has a problem with its Christian heritage. If it were only about altars…! It is rather about churches not serving God anymore but secular goals. - Keep listening Bach. He is our virtual altar. 😊

In the closing chorus, the orchestra is playing in the major key and the choir is singing in the minor key. How is that even possible? Answer: JS Bach. BTW I only realized this after I watched the workshop that Rudolf Lutz has kindly posted about this cantata on TH-cam (in English, thank-you!!). I recommend tracking it down, it is quite informative and interesting. Herr Lutz' musical skill is quite remarkable as can be seen in the video.
The physical audience is average of European demographics. But our virtual audience is much younger, believe me. And it goes into millions of people. 🤩
Isaiah 55:11 King James Version 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

This performance was of the high quality I always expect from the J S Bach Foundation (although it was not as miraculous as some others, eg, BWV 66). So I am surprised with some of the Comments and Replies here. The counter tenor was excellent. Generally I prefer male vocal soloists, and I think Bach would be happy with that. They are more likely to sing on the pitch rather than wobble around the pitch with vibrato, as females tend to do. Also, their voices have more power so they are less likely to ‘screech’ to make themselves heard. I am undecided about how soprano Wernli sang the Aria. Perhaps it was operatic rather than Bach. I would love to hear it sung by a treble (boy soprano), as Bach trained and used. th-cam.com/video/1HOZoNAwaVU/w-d-xo.html I think the pace throughout was appropriate. Lutz and his performers know that ALL Bach's music dances, sometimes wildly. So they all dance in their playing. For a Bach performance, there are a lot of dancers on the dance floor. Bach would not object and demand that performances must follow exactly how he did it with his limited resources (but no one should complain about a performance which does that). The enthusiast audience contributes so much to the mood, but I see their average age and I am concerned: Where is the audience of tomorrow? (The performers are more of mixed ages.)
Thank you very much for your comment. Tomorrow's audience? We want to gain it through the music and invest countless hours that we happily invest in introducing every generation to Bach's music and, last but not least, inspiring them.
*The recitatives are at much more dramatic slower tempos than the overly loud, too fast chorus. Most church galleries had inadequate space for a choir of this size plus the instrumentalists, so in all likelihood chorus moments were sung only by vocal soloists. On the whole, this performance is sensitive and beautiful.*
it's a bit unfair I think, only the first choir is a bit too fast (and actually I don't think it's the tempo, it's the intention: I've noticed that Lutz has sometimes the tendency to play the opening choir a bit too frantic, so that it comes across as rushed, despite not being that much faster than other recent recordings), the rest seems to be at the right pace to me
Respeto todas las opiniones, pero cómo atreverse con Rudolf de ese modo , me parece una osadía. En mi vida he escuchado una interpretación así, del conjunto de Cantatas de Bach. Un monumental trabajo inconmensurable e incomparable. Cómo te osas comentar un tempo??? Bach no marca los "tempi"... Eso es un debate decimonónico, pasado de moda. Todos estos músicos son sencillamente geniales. Sin excepción. Y el director es una maravilla.
One can never destroy BAch's music with his soli Deo gloria, but the speed is somewhat frenetic for my taste, not that I like Mal Sargeant's dreary speeds either. Did he actually record any Bach? Not good for native englisch speakers trying to follow whatever German their knowledge will allow.
Having sung for years with my amateur Bach Society in Brisbane Australia, I don't think we would've gotten within 15% short of that speed. By 2000 we were mostly singing in German, but earlier in the 80's we tended to use those appalling Novello translations which showed minimal appreciation for the tensions of Lutheran theology that Bach understood so well.
The gap between a genius and the rest of us is immense!
Praise God in his Kingdoms…and praise Bach-Stiftung for this wonderful performance!
We all meet Bach every time we hear his music. We have a conversation with Bach every time we perform his music. Bach is in heaven looking down upon us.
When I listen to the two choruses I feel an irresistible sensation of starting to dance. Thanks, Bach, for being so special. 🥰🥰😃
Jan Börner is superb in 'Ach, bleibe doch, mein liebstes Leben'. And the whole performance is great, thanks
Magnificent and breathtaking and so well performed- thanks so much !!!
Absolument superbe...
Qué riqueza expresiva, qué profundidad de ideas, qué belleza sublime... Más Bach, por favor. Danke schön.
Amazing and 100 % perfect interpretation, and still human. Thank you so much.
Sublime
The universe shimmers in the light of God’s glory
The alto aria with its continuo on one regular pulse gives me goosebumps !

Interesting. It's quite festive in nature - almost like a fantasia
For me, the majesty of the preceding soprano portion equals that of the final chorus; both are supernal declarations.
You are absolutely right about subtlety. However, for once I have to differ from maestro Lutz about his interpretation. At this speed the impact of the syncopations in this chorus is lost, and the choir comes over as less than majestic. The tympani, essential to the rhythm, are too frequently inaudible.
