- Straight away, the beautiful instrumental introduction creates a sense that Bach is doing something special here. Indeed, this solo cantata for alto, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, is indeed very festive and unusually long. The text is about the healing of a deaf-mute man by Jesus, and about the joy that ensues.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on September 26th 2015 at St Martin's Church, Groningen. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB or consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

In the first Helsinki International Ballet Competition in 1984 I saw quite a fantastic modern variation based on this cantata. The male dancer was Canadian. I still remember some of the movements inspired by the Concerto.
Super om via deze muziek troost te vinden.....
@@vos8390 Of levensvreugde. Maar misschien is dat wel gedeeltelijk hetzelfde.
celestial 💯💫💥
I can listen to this cantata ten times a day. The organ sections are just wonderful, a joy to listen to, as is the whole concert.
Have you listened to Oboenkonzert bach th-cam.com/video/kMEEwKc1qrc/w-d-xo.html
With this cantata, we have one of the many reasons that Bach is by far and away the greatest musical genius of all time
Prof. Leo van Doeselaar - danke für Ihr Orgelspiel!
The first movement, either in its original orchestral version or transcribed for organ solo, is very beautiful: a true masterpiece!
Bach is a drug. He is incredible. Thumbs negatives? You´re absolutely MAD
Maybe they don't like the performance, though that's also hard to imagine!
His wellspring of inspiration is beyond drugs - spiritual - from which the word inspiration is derived which is why he makes atheists grumble.
Welcome, Bach addictions!
Is a drug... I am actually addicted... Nothing similar with other composers, and I know so many... But He is n.1.
Oh boy, that concerto was lit.
Marcos Aquilino Antonio Domínguez Doeselaar absolutely killing it. If he had long hair he'd be headbanging.
Indeed it was. What a masterful interpretation
It's concerto grosso, Bach's style
Never heard Maarten Engeltjes sing better than this.
The concerto is absolutly fantastic. By its content and by the interpretation of Leo van Doeselaar on the organ.
The organ part is so cute in the gott hat alles aria. It never fails to put me in a good mood.
As always, a magnificent performance. The Netherlands Bach Society truly is a marvel. And providing these videos to youtube is an incredible public service.
I am a simple man. I see a NBS video, I press like.
I love your comments.
@@espressonoob He adored you since childhood, Johann.
beethoven was a complex man
Klasse. Der Countertenor singt: "Gott hat alles wohl gemacht". Das beruhigt.
Ich bin der Meinung Bach ist der Hohepunkt der europaeische Musik. Alles andere nach ihn steht in seinem Schatten. Vielen dank an die Kultur unserer Nachbarn vom Osten.
Das ist wahr!! BACH ist der beste musiker der Welt von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit!! Danke zu ihm !
pure magic! What impresses me here particularly, is not only countertenor Maarten Engeltjes' singing but the organ playing.... and what a glorious organ it is too. And, as somebody else said already: A sparkling, light-filled, wonderful presentation. Merci/Danke/Thank you
Question, please: How is it that the sequestered organist sitting up in the organ loft can be so in sync with the the other musicians?
Loring Palmer
They wrote in comments to another video that the organist has a video hookup to see the conductor and continuo player.
@@donnewmeyer3133 Thank you!
@@donnewmeyer3133 That is so interesting, thank you very much!
Correct. And besides a video connection, the organist also has an audio connection (via the mics - which are recording anyway - and a monitor speaker next to the organist) which allows him to hear the important instruments. Otherwise it would be very difficult to sync between organ and orchestra/choir from such a distance.
Like all their performances, absolutely marvellous.
Для меня всегда есть что-то волшебное и прекрасное, когда я слушаю музыку Иоганна Себастьяна Баха. Премного благодарен.
who are your sound engineers, NBS? Their work is simply outstanding.
Of course the incredible music making is of highest importance, and the videography is first rate. too.
But i would love it if the world class work of your sound engineers was acknowledged in one of your videos...
Thank you!
It would appear that the cultural climax of our Western civilisation occurred a few centuries ago! At least modern technology is allowing us the preserve these treasures.... Praise to this channel for its role in this great endeavour! Thanks. ❤️👌👍🏻👏🎼🎵☘️🇮🇪
Or possibly in 2015.
Dear Sir/Madam, I concur wholeheartedly in every way!
Yes! And that climax happened to happen in Germany, where events of extreme cruelty and extreme beauty took place.
@@baldwin9180 Interesting take. Of course, Germany wasn't a political entity at the time. But, in general, yes, the paradox of intellectual and cultural achievement and barbarism is exemplified there! And without comparing German Fascism with Israel, consider the high degree of intellectual achievement of the Jews in contrast to the cruel nationalism of Israel. AND, arguably, the greatest years of German cultural and intellectual achievement seems to have happened before unification.
@@princeandrey "the paradox of intellectual and cultural achievement and barbarism is exemplified there" - well, now it looks we're left with increasing barbarism :(
Interprétation de ce chef-d’œuvre de JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH { BWV 35 }, avec l’ensemble NETHERLANDS BACH SOCIETY dirigé par JOS VAN VELDHOVEN grandiose et merci pour ce moment de musique Baroque exceptionnel, que j’ai énormément aimé bravo.
Congrats for your important work, we wait anxiously for each beautiful post. best wishes from Brazil.
voce é do RJ e toca algum instrumento? I also love Bach.
Ewa Grybowski
Ewa Grybowski nao. Sou de Curitiba e nao toco instrumento algum. sou soh um velho admirador de Bach e acompanho as vv execucoes de suas musicas ha algum tempo.
Look at Mr Veldhoven's smile at the end.... he is definitely happy for the brilliant performance of his group 😍😍
what an amazing countertenor💯
orchestre irréprochable, quant au chanteur nous avons eu la chance de l'avoir avec n ous à Académie Aix en Provence, une voix pure une justesse parfaite , un "grand"
I am quite sure Bach is quite satisfied with this beautiful performance. As should be everyone else
Эту кантату (новую для себя) я уже включила в число любимых. Разумеется, в восхищение от музыки входит и её исполнение.
Спасибо, NBS!
The Sinfonia 18:38 ist just awsome! One of the best performances - the right tempo, the right emotionality, thanks!
Yet another Brilliant performance start to finish. Thank you NBS
Johann Sebastian Bach, spirito fulgido che dà gloria a Dio con tutto il talento che Questi gli ha donato, la sua "ricchezza" sulla terra. Egli l'ha voluta ridonare al suo Creatore e Redentore con tutte le proprie capacità... Johann Sebastian, Cantore della gloria di Dio... Se questo suo canto ci cattura, avvolge, ci assorbe alla presenza del Vivente, cosa sarà del canto di tutti gli Angeli e della Comunione sempiterna dei Santi? Se un canto terreno è così sublime (a mio parere il più sublime), cosa sarà il canto celeste del Paradiso? Amo questa musica perché mi mette in qualche modo in contatto con la Potenza della Realtà Divina Celeste. E amo questo gruppo musicale, che svolge questo servizio sublime, impareggiabile... Grazie a Dio, grazie a questi suoi ministri...!
What a fantastic channel! Mr Van Velhoven is a genuis (after J.S. Bach, of course) Top notch musicians! Especially the organist has so much fire.. just delightful. THANK YOU NBS!!
Yo the organist is shredding his part literally the entire time.
Absolutely fantastic playing + following the conductor from back there.
What I love most about Jos van Veldhoven the conductor and Van Doeselaar the organist is that they are grooving so well together. To me, rhythmical groove is often a crucial aspect to enjoy Bach, and it's actually rare to find a performance like this. That is of course mostly conductor's responsibility, but you need an organist who has a good sense of rhythm too, not just for keeping steady tempo but grooving. And this organist has one. You can hear he is producing the beat himself not just following or catching up others. It's anyway hard to synchronize with orchestra I assume, so you can hear a bit of separation in some parts, but he controls very well. So uplifting and enjoyable.
I also love how string players dance with joy.
Spirit and soul are confused when they contemplate Thee, my God, since the miracles they learn and which people proclaim exultantly have made them deaf and dumb.
I am amazed; everything we see fills us with amazement. Contemplating Thee, beloved Son of God, they fail reason and common sense. Thou even succeed to make a miracle a little thing in front of Thee. Thou art already a miracle event for Thy name, Thy acts and Thy mission, no wonder on earth compares to Thee. Restore hearing to the deaf make the dumb talk, yes, even more, open the eyelids of the blind with a word. These, these are miracles whose power cannot not even be expressed by the choir of angels.
God has done everything well. His love, His fidelity they are renewed for us every day. When anguish and pain oppress us He grants us abundant comfort, for He is always watching over us. God has done everything well.
Ah, mighty God, let me always remind me of all these things, so I can with joy let Thee penetrate my soul. Make Thy sweet "Ephphatha" soften my hardened heart; ah, place Thy merciful fingers on my ears, otherwise I would already be lost. Touch my tongue too with Thy mighty hand, so I can praise these miraculous signs with deep devotion proving to be Thy son and heir.
I just wish to live with God, ah! if only the time had already come to raise a joyful Hallelujah with all the angels. My dear Jesus, deliver me from the painful game of suffering and allow me to finish soon my tormented life in Thy hands.
Какие голоса и какой оркестр и каково звучание бесподобное
What a masterpiece this cantata is, I'm always perplexed by the intensity of each movement, it's impossible not to feel every note
This cantata is been my favourite since I was a teenager. The modern interpretation of the NL Bach Society of this, as well the rest of Bach works is simply faboulous and breathtaking. Thank you
. for your work.😊
Bien hacemos, 300 años después, en pedir con alegría y confianza, que se nos destapen los oídos, que se nos abran los ojos, que recuperemos el don de la Palabra en estos nuestros días tan confusos y difusos.
Incredible how much joy NBS brings us week after week! How can we ever thank you?
Glad to hear you enjoy our recordings. You help us by continuing to watch and spreading our videos. And of course we are also very happy with financial contributions for our project
Who am I to blame the Dutch Bach Society for my Bach addiction?
Quite the enablers of an endless supply, aren't they?
A total junkie
I've been listening all morning, something I would rarely do with cantatas, but these performance are just so mellow and relaxing, easy to listen.
Bachoholics Anonymous..My name is Mark im a Bachoholic. Its been 2 minetes since I had a Bach. Actually im also sober in AA. 35 years. And cant think of anything clever to say, cause im into this cantata at 1am. ... hope to get through bwv by end of year... but no rush. Cheers.
Yet, throughout my adult life, I have begun just about every morning, addictively listening to one, two, three Cantatas. Years (centuries?) ago I used to listen to the--now old-fashioned but still exquisite--Bach Guild performances conducted by Felix Prohaska. Today, I got up ay 10 AM and I'm still listening at 3:30!
Never would I have thought an organ concerto would sound so good.
Siguiendo las interpretaciones de la Netherlands Bach Society con gran interés y dedicación. La precisión y afinación total se unen a una calidad humana destacable también. La sensación de que han encontrado calidades bien bachianas. En esta interpretación me llama la atención la pasión que pone el organista en su ejecución, me recuerda a excelentes solos de guitarra eléctrica por ejemplo. También me hizo pensar...la presencia de contratenores en las composiciones de la época...y la aparición en el rock de las voces agudas, hay montones de ejemplos. Veo la pasión en la ejecución junto a la precisión de un genuino esfuerzo de recuperación histórica. El resultado es maravilloso y muy conmovedor. Gracias!!
D'une admirable beauté!
This is one of those Bach pieces that just floors you immediately. It's so perfectly conceived.
Es como un sueño poder disfrutar de esta delicia que me transporta a la gloria haciendo realidad todos mis sueños. Infinitas gracias por compartir tan exquisita música. ¡FELICITACIONES POR DOQUIER!
💙💚💛💜❤🌝⚘🌞🌙🗽🌍🎁🎶
Beautiful video. It's always nice to see Jos van Veldhoven's smile conducting a piece with joy..This is the moment I want to believe the eternity of human souls so that Bach in heaven could see how much we love his music....
バッハを聽いていると、純粋に音楽を経験していると感じます。
When I listen to Bach, I feel that I am purely experiencing music.
Wunderbar!
15:10. What an extraordinary, heart hitting sound.
Als Leo van Doesselaar begint op het orgel met de aria dan krijg ik kippenvel mooi hoor ik ben zelf ook pianist en componist
03:31 😍😍😍 love that part..
Doing good job Maestro
And your brilliant musicians
Toujours au sommet , NBS !
Bravissimi !
Merveilleux concert ! Du VRAI J.S.Bach, quoi !
Aparte de la música de Bach, el sonido de ese órgano Arp Schnitger es realmente maravilloso y bien conservado. 👌🏻
Großartig! Danke.
Beautiful instrumental performance of the Netherlands Bach Society
Que maravilha ouvir o som desse órgão. Quanta beleza existe na música de Bach!
What a masterful interpretation
Wonderful performance! I'm addicted. Greetings from Australia.
Just to say, the singer is called Maarten Engeltjes... He is amazing.
Splendid as always from Netherlands Bach Society. Van Doeselaar is just top notch every time!
Brilliant ! I can not help it but it does make me a little proud to be Dutch ! Thank you !
So it should, Jan.
Bijvalsbetuiging in de eigen taal dan maar.
Toujours une Aussi belle. Voix de contre ténor avec un Organiste d'exception qui l'accompagne!
Soli Deo Gloria.
Magnífica performance!
Bravo!
Gracias
Attending Sunday services at Bach's time and you listen and see this kind of magical masterpieces 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍
ALL FOR FREE 😭😭😭
One of the most lighthearted and joyous of Bach's cantatas, and the organ part looks fiendishly difficult.
This is absolutely glorious!!
Klare und wunderschöne Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Kantate mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt synchronisierten Tönen aller Instrumente sowie herrlicher Stimme des genialen Solisten. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Ensemble im gut phrasierten Tempo und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Alles ist bewundernswert!
This festive cantate makes me happy, wonderful performed as usual by the Netherlands Bach Society
Esecuzione perfetta, Bach non avrebbe voluto di meglio! Ma non si può commuoversi così tanto quando si ascolta Bach!
*What a joy and delight. Un grand merci à tous!*
I believe this is the only Bach cantata that features an organ obligato part in every movement except recitatives. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
It's very unusual - and wonderful - to hear a *Reed stop* (Rankett? Krummhorn?) used in the second aria organ part (15:12). Most organists I've heard just use an 8' (4') 2' (Zimbel) combination.
Also worth mentioning: One certainly *doesn't* need to be a believer in God - as in Maarten Engeltjes' case here - in order to create "divine" music. 👍
Again, many, many thanks to all - *Beautifully performed.* 💖🎶
looking at the disposition at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_in_the_Martinikerk_at_Groningen I think he is using the 16' bassoon on the ruckpositive. what an incredible sound.
@@DocVulkan Thank you for this information. Much appreciated. 👍
Beautiful singing and playing.
Beautifully played music with an amazing organ and organist. Great camera work.
I can tell that Bach relished the alto he had at the time this was composed, because his organ part reflects back to the alto in such a free and fun manner. I bet Bach had the time of his life performing this with whoever sang it. Two geniuses get to show off in a true bravura style!
Gracias y saludos cordiales desde Mallorca para vosotros nethelans baroque
¡Maarten Engeltjes, contratenor de primera! ¿Y estos puristas de Bach? No será que se sienten frustrados que este titánico esfuerzo por reunir todo Bach no se haya hecho en su tierra? Alemania estaba obligada, ¿ no? ¡Gracias maestros de la NBS! Holanda ha sacado la cara por todos los que rendimos culto al genio de los genios!
夜中に 一人 バッハを聴いて内省します。
In the middle of the night, I listen to Bach and introspect.
WOW. Great!!!!!!!
¡ Gracias !🇨🇱
Gracias Dios!!!! Que grande es la obra de tus manos!!!
virtuoso e magnífico
c'etait bien un Bach jeune, plein de force et d'imagination. Formidable performance.
Il avait 41 ans.
This is just magnificent!
Stunning..what a group they are!!!
Ganz wundervoll. Danke.
Another beautifully executed piece of Bach by the Netherlands Bach Society. The Counter-Tenor is amazing! Who's the organist? He's very expressive and looks as though he's really enjoying himself! Bravo on an excellent performance.
Thank you! The organist is Leo van Doeselaar.
Ihr seid schon eine sensationelle Truppe ... unfassbar gut!!! Danke, danke, danke !!!
At 3:32 the Organ Part Sounds so fun and joyful :D
This was new to me. What a treat!
Превосходно!👏👏👏
My God, I love these videos.
As is often the case, the taille de hautbois part is played here on an oboe da caccia. (How many taille players even exist in today's world?)
Divine, thank you~✨☀️✨
I first heard the Organ concerto as a re-constructed Flute concerto: the 1st Mvt was the opening concerto of this Cantata; the aria ‘Geist un Semele’ was the middle mvt (lot shorter though) and the 3rd mvt is presented here as the Sinfonia. It’s wonderful to hear it in this version:-)
La perfezione!!!!Bach un pezzo di cielo..
Zoooo dankbaar om deze muziek!
Dat helpt me in deze rottijd....troost te vinden.....
superbe, superbe...
What a great project this is, NBS!
Perfect!!!! Bravo❤️
Struggled for years to master that organ part (also in solo transcription). A great cantata, wonderfully performed!
