300 years ago today in Leipzig this masterpiece was heard for the first time. It’s still having the effect Bach probably wanted to have. Thank you NBS for this and all you do!
The Netherlands Society is creating such a glorious expression of Bach that I imagine Bach in his lifetime might have hoped his work could sound so heavenly. This is concordant with my recent interest in the 18th Century, a time so rich in every human endeavor it seems to float above history for hundreds of years in either direction. That era gave us some of the greatest days of astronomy, biology, geology, engineering and chemistry, studies of government, trade, economy and political ferment, a deep appreciation of Classical Antiquity, monumental musical forms and tonal composition, germinal discoveries in medicine, physiology, anatomy, disease, sociology, and anthropology--and from some of the most astonishing persons who ever walked the Earth-including Newton, Hume, Euler, Handel, Linnaeus, Gauss, Leeuwenhoek, Couperin, Bernoulli, Dalton, Haydn, Laplace, Priestly, Lavoisier, Mozart, Lagrande, Diderot, Goethe, Leibniz, Galvani, Wollstonecraft, Schiller, De Gouge, Condorcet, Wordsworth, Goya, Kant, Constable, Volta, Franklin, Ingres, Lafayette, and Humboldt. Today the Enlightenment is a popular academic target for easy derision, but such derogation is shallow and cynical. A century of human aspiration against inhumanity and violence deserves both deep and broad reconsideration.
@@herrickinman9303 Bach lived in the 18th century, and specifically under a polity ruled by Frederick the Great, a man deeply interested and identified with the Enlightenment thinkers. Why the lol? Every composer from Handel to Beethoven worked in the ferment of Enlightenment ideas.
Not only the performance of all musicians of this project is, as we are used to hear again and again absolutely outstanding, but also the fantastic quality of the audio/ video recordings. At the end of the opening choral you can hear the reverberant sound of about 3-4 seconds of St.Martin and this is quite a difficult (whilst beautiful) athmosphere to record. I‘ve heardt hundreds of organ recordings, and afaik these are the most difficult to record. And a lot of them are not without problems. Not here, the first class conducting, singing, playing is absolutely met and on par by the technical supervisors. I can‘t but pull off my hat for all of you and say thank you so much.
I love the opening because the chorale melody is exceptionally beautiful, giving Bach the opportunity to spin an exceptionally magnificent fantasia around it.
It is a grey, damp day here in S.Wales but this glorious performance from singers and instruments has said my spirits to the highest heavens...thankyou all so very much...keep singing and playing ! Bravo .
It is one of my favorite cantatas by Bach, the execution by the Netherlands Bach Society is impeccable. The chorale at the end is one of the 10 pieces of music I would save from the déluge: it drives you to heaven, literally.
Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieser kompakten doch perfekt komponierten Kantate mit gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors und herrlichen Stimmen vierer genialen Solisten sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Originalinstrumente. Der erfahrene und gelehrte Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Barockensemble im inspirierenden Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die Resonanz ist auch ideal. Alles ist wunderbar!
Absolute the top! The reason: the composer made this music to Praise the Highest Lord. Only the best music is the best to Praise the Lord. Thanks for uploading this amazing cantata!
Welch ein Glanz, welch eine Festmusik, gerade jetzt zu Pfingsten. Man fragt sich, wie fand er die Zeit, all das in der Vielfalt zu komponieren. Händel hatte ähnliches komponiert, Feuerwerksmusik und Wassermusik in London. Er hatte das andere wichtige Talent sich in der Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren! Und wurde ein Star und reich. Bach blieb seiner Zeit nahezu unbekannt. Wäre er wie Händel nach England ausgewandert, er wäre wohl der Superstar seiner Epoche geworden...

I never was too impressed by Bach cantatas but this one with this outstanding performance overwhelmes me!!! I guess I have to start discovering Bach cantatas again and will do this with your performances... which ones can anyone recommend to me?
Thanks for the compliment! The reason is that our 'All of Bach' project already started in 2014, but the first years we only published these videos on our website (www.allofbach.com). We have only started this TH-cam channel since 2018, so that's why older recordings are still being published.
Interesting , yes. Horrible is a judgement our modern ears ought to hold in reserve. Bach wrote for the real world. There are players today in our world who can do justice to the trumpet parts without the shortcut of holes in the bore. BTW, these holes come with a price-- the expressive articulations of Bach's time are sacrificed for the clean performances we've come to expect from modern piccolo trumpets. Also missing are the pure intervals 3 natural trumpets can produce.. A vented trumpet is simply a kind of instrument entirely different from a natural uncompromised trumpet. These guys do fine, I must say. But I cringe when the cameraman focuses on their agile little fingers doing what their tongues, lungs and lips should be doing. Screed ending in 5...4...3...
My two-year-old is convinced that van Veldhoven is "ACTUALLY singing" in the Chorale at the end, while I think he is just mouthing along. It is a lively debate and he wants us to ask you. Is he singing?
Are the vocalists meant to be a background for the musicians, or vice versa, in the first section? Are the musicians dominating them? A lively and enjoyable recording nonetheless. Tky v much.
Since the Middle Ages, female voices were not used in church music because St. Paul wrote, "Women shall be silent in the church." This practice persisted in German churches until the 19th century. So you will understand that alto parts in church music in Bach's time were never sung by women. Historically, the term _countertenor_ did not refer to a particular voice type or voice range. In ancient scores you'll find alto-range and baritone-range parts both labelled "countertenor" in the same score. It was the falsettist Russel Oberlin who first used, or rather misused, the term _countertenor_ to describe his own voice type and range. The term continues to be misused today to refer to an adult male who sings alto-range parts in falsetto. Throughout Europe, Latin schools were established to train boys to sing the upper parts in church music. Bach, Haendel and Telemann each received their early musical training in a Latin school. Because of his fine soprano voice, the young Bach attended a Latin school on a scholarship. The St. Thomas School in Leipzig was a Latin School. Bach's own sons participated in the school's lessons. You will not find any voice parts labelled "countertenor" in any music from Bach's time. But from the background information I've provided, you will understand that the upper parts had to be sung by boys or by adult male falsettists, which we today incorrectly call "countertenors," thanks to Russell Oberlin. There was a falsettist on the payroll at the Weimar ducal court when Bach was composing cantatas there. Women were hired as singing maids. From reference letters Bach provided, we know that he also used falsettists in his Leipzig church music. These falsettists were townspeople or Bach's private students from the Leipzig university.
beautiful cantata and lovely execution. I maybe would have preferred a more "booming" bass, especially considering the character of the aria. Here he gets a bit drowned by the rousing performance of the instruments and gives a slight feeling of insecurity, which goes against the text. It might just be a matter of sound balancing though.

Heaven as Bach's music in this world!
Best sounding baroque timpani I’ve heard so far.
What a delightful performance!
300 years ago today in Leipzig this masterpiece was heard for the first time. It’s still having the effect Bach probably wanted to have. Thank you NBS for this and all you do!
The bass singer had his work cut out for him battling the timpani & trumpets! He valiantly held his own! Bravo
At 48 seconds in, a beautiful young lady had the same look on her face that I did listening to that opening fanfare. Love you guys.
And at 1.15 the look expresses real pleasure!
16 singers in the choir! How luxurious a sound!
the trumpets sound so sweet. Beautiful.
´❤❤♫´♫´❤♫´❤❤♫´♫´❤♫´❤♫´
Himmlisch schöne Kantate, herrliche Darstellung!!! Der Eingangschor und Schlusschoral gehören zum Besten was Bach geschrieben hat.!
Da gebe ich Ihnen Recht 👍== einfach wunderschön, erhebend...👌, ein musikalischer Genuß 🙂
Sublime trumpeting from Robert Vanryne and Michael Harrison and team.
How nimbly their fingers go!
Exquisite as always. Some how these exceptional musicians beat all expectations. Music that soars through the cosmic spheres!
Heavenly music. Glory to God
The Netherlands Society is creating such a glorious expression of Bach that I imagine Bach in his lifetime might have hoped his work could sound so heavenly.
This is concordant with my recent interest in the 18th Century, a time so rich in every human endeavor it seems to float above history for hundreds of years in either direction. That era gave us some of the greatest days of astronomy, biology, geology, engineering and chemistry, studies of government, trade, economy and political ferment, a deep appreciation of Classical Antiquity, monumental musical forms and tonal composition, germinal discoveries in medicine, physiology, anatomy, disease, sociology, and anthropology--and from some of the most astonishing persons who ever walked the Earth-including Newton, Hume, Euler, Handel, Linnaeus, Gauss, Leeuwenhoek, Couperin, Bernoulli, Dalton, Haydn, Laplace, Priestly, Lavoisier, Mozart, Lagrande, Diderot, Goethe, Leibniz, Galvani, Wollstonecraft, Schiller, De Gouge, Condorcet, Wordsworth, Goya, Kant, Constable, Volta, Franklin, Ingres, Lafayette, and Humboldt.
Today the Enlightenment is a popular academic target for easy derision, but such derogation is shallow and cynical. A century of human aspiration against inhumanity and violence deserves both deep and broad reconsideration.
Well said.
Yes, but JSB is IN NO WAY part of the rationalist, materialist enlightenment, even though he lived during a part of those times.
What do Bach and the liturgical music of his time have to do with the Enlightenment? lol
@@herrickinman9303 Exaclty. Bach's philosophical AND music theory principles, e.g. anti-Rameau, were distincly not of the European enlightenment
@@herrickinman9303 Bach lived in the 18th century, and specifically under a polity ruled by Frederick the Great, a man deeply interested and identified with the Enlightenment thinkers. Why the lol? Every composer from Handel to Beethoven worked in the ferment of Enlightenment ideas.
To say the concentration of the organist is intense would be an understatement. Thrilling to watch! Never saw someone play play quite like him before.
Totally agree, Bach’s music appears to course through the very fibre of his soul. It’s a treat to behold.
Not only the performance of all musicians of this project is, as we are used to hear again and again absolutely outstanding, but also the fantastic quality of the audio/ video recordings. At the end of the opening choral you can hear the reverberant sound of about 3-4 seconds of St.Martin and this is quite a difficult (whilst beautiful) athmosphere to record.

what magnificent work the netherlands bach society is making
Ein Traum von Harmonie und Frieden...Bach
Vielen lieben Dank für das Konzert
Congratulations to all the performes, but the trumpets and the timpani just rocked!
Timpani 😁
Always the heavenly sound, Bach!
Increiblemente bach hacia una obra asi a la semana ...un compositor actual no lo hace ni en un año...
I love the opening because the chorale melody is exceptionally beautiful, giving Bach the opportunity to spin an exceptionally magnificent fantasia around it.
The greatest of all! God bless you, Master Bach!
These performances are beyond spectacular!!!
Phantastisches Trompeten- und Paukenensemble!
Van Veldhoven trifft die "richtigen" Tempi.
Außergewöhnliche Darbietung. Danke für den schönen Abend 🌹🎹
A majestic presentation for Michaelmas. Oh, and the tenor Aria with flute and cello pizzicato... How did Bach get the idea? So blissful!
It is a grey, damp day here in S.Wales but this glorious performance from singers and instruments has said my spirits to the highest heavens...thankyou all so very much...keep singing and playing ! Bravo .
So utterly beautiful. What's not to like about this??
Thank you so, so much.
Bach = La Musica Sublime ed Eccelsa dell'Altissimo!
The superb performances controlled by such charming and effective conducting.
A simply superb performance by everyone here involved, what more can said - thanks 🙏
This is wonderful! Such a great recording, not that I’m surprised coming from NBS.
Hunkigarria kantata hau. NBSren bertsioa sekulakoa. Eskerrik asko/Awesome Cantata. NBSren rendition is absolutely stunning. Thank you.

Just a marvelous performance. Such energy.
Great piece to put last on the program. Full of energy.
Merveilleux, merci infiniment !
Maravilhosa cantata 130 de Bach. Os sons dos trompetes chegam ao céu. Linda e perfeita. Amo essa cantata!

A really beautiful performance in every possible way! Thanks for posting.
trumpets and drums and Bach - nothing more glorious

And all this on one of the great venues in the world: the Martinikerk at Groningen!
Mi piacciono tantissimo le vostre sinfonie
ANOTHER GREAT COUNTER TENOR, WHAT BEAUTIFUL VOICES ARE EVOKED FROM THE NORTH OF THE ALPS. IT MUST BE THE RICH GOAT CHEESE OR SOMETHING SWEET.
A "counter tenor" is a tenor who sings at a counter. The word you're looking for is _countertenor._
Qué maravillosa interpretación. No tengo palabras suficientes para agrsdecer

Wunderschön, leider ist der Chor zu leise, die Musik ist etwas zu laut. Ansonsten wunderbar. ❤❤❤
Marvelous!!
Excelente!
Phantastisch musiziert, himmlisch gesungen; der Alte Drache swingt wie sonst nur Jazz swingen kann!
Sehr gut!
thank you
GREAT

Je retiendrai « se brancher sur l Esprit Saint pour s imbiber de la Grâce « merci Monseigneur
I can just imagine how horrible/interesting this might have sounded back then with trumpets without any intonation holes!
Those trumpetists were probably expected to fix the intonation with their own lips! I can only imagine how hard and complex that must have been
Interesting , yes. Horrible is a judgement our modern ears ought to hold in reserve. Bach wrote for the real world. There are players today in our world who can do justice to the trumpet parts without the shortcut of holes in the bore. BTW, these holes come with a price-- the expressive articulations of Bach's time are sacrificed for the clean performances we've come to expect from modern piccolo trumpets.

These guys do fine, I must say. But I cringe when the cameraman focuses on their agile little fingers doing what their tongues, lungs and lips should be doing. Screed ending in 5...4...3...
I've only just realised that Bach "borrowed" part of the music for Herr Gott, dich loben chorale from the Genevan Psalter!
My two-year-old is convinced that van Veldhoven is "ACTUALLY singing" in the Chorale at the end, while I think he is just mouthing along. It is a lively debate and he wants us to ask you. Is he singing?
Why wouldn't he sing? He hasn't got a microphone to worry about.
I had conducting lessons of Van Veldhoven - and I can tell he would not have sing along.
🙏Thank you ! The singer looks like Jesus
@@gianlucabersanetti6454 of course🙂
Are the vocalists meant to be a background for the musicians, or vice versa, in the first section?
Are the musicians dominating them?
A lively and enjoyable recording nonetheless.
Tky v much.
In Bach's time, the instrumentalists were positioned behind the singers.
In the age of J. S. Bach the Alt was Contratenor always?
Either countertenors or boys in Bach's Germany. Women were still not allowed to participate in almost all circumstances.
@@richardholmquist7316 Thanks

beautiful cantata and lovely execution. I maybe would have preferred a more "booming" bass, especially considering the character of the aria. Here he gets a bit drowned by the rousing performance of the instruments and gives a slight feeling of insecurity, which goes against the text. It might just be a matter of sound balancing though.
