Wasn't it Schubert or Schumann who wrote in a letter to Mendelssohn that if they lost all hope in life, this chorale prelude alone could restore it? Thank you once again, NBS and Ton Koopman!
Schumann: om cantus firmus hang forgyldte bladguirlander, og der var hældt salighed ned i det hele, så du(Mendelsohn) måtte bekende:hvis livet nogensinde fratager dig håbet og troen, så vil denne koral bringe dig det hele på ny.
Het haastige en gejakker is weg, waardoor de muziek zoveel rijker is geworden. ik krijg nu tijd om de klanken op me in te laten werken. Zeer veel dank!
To my ears, Ton gets it absolutely right here. I've always enjoyed his performances of chorale-based organ compositions a bit more than his renditions of the free organ works (with the exception of the trio sonatas, for one). I've been listening to this performance a number of times already, and it continues to sound fresh.
Ton Koopman's performances of the Trio Sonatas are, how shall I put it? Sine qua non? I have not heard better, in any case. And I have tried and almost made it once or twice I daresay. He inspired me to learn them all, anyhow. I won't be trying the #2 nor #6 again, though, in any case. :)
Wonderful! I’ve been waiting for this one! Will you make collections later when all pieces of a certain group have been uploaded (for example all Leipziger Choräle or all of the Orgelbüchlein in one video)?
One does feel that Bach, in this piece, is providing the best invitation to Christ that music permits. I remember first hearing it ... life-changing ... I am already a Christian, but it reminded me of the awesome privilege of living every day to prepare the soul for communion with God in Christ ... no matter what else is going on, one may choose love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, patience, meekness, self-control, and faith for the soul, and adorn it for fellowship with God and all those who understand what the Spirit does. One may also NOT CHOOSE ... but this piece makes one seriously question why would one not choose a life so holy and beautiful?
T. Koopman ist Spezialist für "Verzierungen" (Ornamentation) .... die er manchmal auch etwas allzu häufig einsetzt - aber immer sehr gekonnt ausführt ---- denn sein "Touche" ist bemerkenswert! Manchmal fällt "eine gewisse Spiel-Nervosität" als unangehneme Unruhe auf .....
Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieses kompakten doch perfekt komponierten Meisterwerks im relativ langsamen Tempo mit durchsichtigen doch warmherzigen Tönen der historischen Orgel. Wahrlich intelligenter und unvergleichlicher Organist!
To sing along with the chorale: Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele Soul, adorn yourself with graces, Lass die dunkle Sündenhöhle, Run away from sin's dark places, Komm ans helle Licht gegangen, Come to where the light is shining; Fange herrlich an zu prangen! In God's royal courts you're dining. Denn der Herr, voll Heil und Gnaden, For the Lord of your salvation Läßt dich iitzt zu Gaste laden; Offers you an invitation; Der den Himmel kann verwalten God of power past all telling Will jetzt Herberg in dir halten. Chooses you to be his dwelling.
Vielen Dank ... one feels how deeply Bach felt every word, and it is lovely to be able to read and sing along! My second language is German, so I actually can do both -- danke schoen, even!
didn't you think that you might turn every mind that reads your comment to think of the joke you promised that you were not making? especially by making note of what the joke would've been about and the particular innuendo you were going to use.
das kann man sich ja überhaupt nicht anhören, dieses gehörlose manirirte Herumgezapple. Viel zu schnell und absolut unsensibel für dieses Instrument und den Raum! Pfui!
Das hat er ständig demonstriert, zum Beispiel mit der Einspielung der Mozartschen Raupach-Clavierconcerten oder mit Praeludium & Fuga D-Dur zur Einweihung der großen Trost-Orgel in Waltershausen. Und jetzt noch einmal bestätigt. Drei Kostproben von ihm reichen echt. Meinetwegen kann jeder so sein, wie er mag, mir gefällt es nicht!!!
"The highest object and end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the renewal of the soul." - J.S. bach
Thank you! That is a great statement by the greatest composer of music praising the LORD!
@@alpinoalpini3849 Speaking of insufferable…
I think Bach was just being self depreciating when he said that. He knew very well he was the best.
Soli deo gloria
coming from someone who billed his employers when he got drunk
Wonderful to think Bach heard this exactly as we are hearing it today!
Or even to have played this exactly as we hear it!

Perfect... JUST PERFECT.
Played with many réflexion and manyyyy years of practice
The résult is there
BRAVO ET MERCI
we must never forget what a gift we receive from Bach, the instrument and the player - so much work to bring it to us!
One of my very favorite hymn tunes. It’s been treated so well by many composers, especially JSB. Thank you.

A peaceful and very beautiful Bach chorale that touches with its wonderful organ sound thank you🍃
Can honestly say I never heard this piece, but it's beautiful and sounds amazing.
I have waited so long for this. Thank you Netherlands Bach Society!!!
Ton Koopman is one of the best, thank you for uploading this!
Wonderful!
Wonderful presentation. The Schoenberg transcription, like this, is also lovely.
Enfin une nouvelle publication de Monsieur Koopman, de plus à Naumburg, Soli Deo Gloria
Fijne Koningsdag! 🇳🇱
Absolutely wonderful.
Those ornaments are expertly, and effortlessly!, performed. Bravo!
Wonderful! I’ve been waiting for this one! Will you make collections later when all pieces of a certain group have been uploaded (for example all Leipziger Choräle or all of the Orgelbüchlein in one video)?
I have waited this voice for a long time. Thanks a lot, Great masters.🙏
Heavenly.
Koopman remains my favorite Bach player.
Finally, more from Koopman and Naumburg !
In all fairness, having heard this cantata, Bach is truly considered a kind of a fifth evangelist.

Thank you to Richard Coles who signposted this, wonderful and restful. Excellent ❤

Awesomely awesome musical masterpiece.
Thank you !🎉

BACH, KOOPMAN AND THE MIGHTY HILEBRANDT 💜
Prachtig
うｐありがとうございます。良いオルガン、良い録音、そしてコープマンの演奏。。。

In English---"Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness", literally: Adorn yourself, O dear soul
Очень хороший мягкий тембр и ясные украшения
❤❤❤
Mike Ermantraut is killer on the organ
waltuh
hemelse muziek
I am so tempted to make a joke about Bach and what he could do with his "big organ", but it seems a shame to demean this wonderful performance.
didn't you think that you might turn every mind that reads your comment to think of the joke you promised that you were not making? especially by making note of what the joke would've been about and the particular innuendo you were going to use.
I heard he could work wonders with his little spinet also.

Die Einspielung der Buxtehude-Cantaten hatte ich zwar gekauft, aber niemahlen angehöret. Nie! Keinen einzigen Ton!
Not great...
Because?
boring
❤❤❤
