  • In this solo cantata, 'Ich bin vergnügt mit meinem Glücke' BWV 84, performed here by the Netherlands Bach Society conducted by Fabio Bonizzoni, the oboe and soprano express their joy. It is one of the few pieces referred to by Bach himself as a ‘cantata’. The text originates from one of the collections by Bach’s regular lyricist, Christian Friedrich Henrici, who wrote under the pseudonym of Picander.
    Recorded for the project All of Bach on 17th January 2015 at Walloon Church, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

    To me, a native German speaker, this incredibly precious cantata paints the image of a poor but brave and bright 17th century working class girl. She is working hard and eating her little bread in the sweat of her brow, but remains steadfast in the face of hardship and thankful for what she has. She isn't naive, she contemplates carefully and looks to the future with joy.

    Maybe it is out of place, but I listen to a LOT of the Netherlands Bach Society. Having now listened to tens of hours of their splendid performances, I wonder: why is it that the supremely magnificent oboe player (again here, as usual, not acknowledged) is not acknowledged here. Having listened to thousands of hours of Bach, I am enclined to think that the oboe is almost always the voice of the composer, Bach, himself. That voice is so Bach himself: endlessly pregnant, unassuming, quietly assertive, behind the green shining curtain of what we don't know what. I humbly ask the Netherlands Bach Society to immediately start acknowledging the contribution of their first oboe player, unnamed here as usual, who is, I dare say, the voice of God and music and Bach himself, keeping everything together and on pace, consistently and utterly amazing in the background and yet feeding the foreground. Sir, we millions of listeners salute you and implore the BNS to acknowledge your and their life's work in your common endeavor! Be well and flourish and we love you all. That's all I wanted to say which is a lot.

      The oboist does get recognition, e.g. in this one: th-cam.com/video/JGT0iPpU9is/w-d-xo.html
      Not every cantata or other work has a focus on the oboe but when it does, I think he does get recognition.

    • @gfhit7520
      @gfhit7520 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      every cantata video has the link to the full orchestra, so it's very easy to find the name of the players. The NBS seems to have decided to write only the names of the singers in the immediate description (even in cases such as these where the singers except the soprano perform significantly less than the obbligato instruments like the violin and the oboe) I guess because the orchestra doesn't change much among recordings whereas the conductor and singers are always different.

    • @BoulderMamacita
      @BoulderMamacita 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Well, as an oboist, can't say I disagree with you, my friend!! I really love period instruments and prefer to listen to Bach on them but, alas, the spacing of the keys was too wide for my fingers.

      I am a modern instrument oboist and just ADORE the way Martin plays. He, Shunske-sensei and Maria are just PERFECTION. The whole group is. I love the respect and camaraderie the ensemble has for one another. My husband, a displaced (USA) "Little Dutch Boy" from Limburg, and we look forward to retiring to his BEAUTIFUL country. We would love to volunteer in any way we may be needed--ushering, fundraising--whatever you need. This group is a treasure to the entire world.

    What an extraordinary rendition. I juat read in John Gardiner’s Bach biography that Bach himself changed the text from “mit meinem Stande” (I am happy with my status/place/office) to “mit meiner Glücke” (with my good fortune). Probably he didn’t like the original version, in his constant reflections on the theological meaning of his music’s lyrics.

    1) Aria [Soprano]
    I am content with my luck,
    With which my dear God blesses me.
    Even if I do not have rich abundance,
    I thank him for little gifts
    And do not deserve even these.
    God is for me in no way blameworthy,
    and whatever he gives to me
    he shows in this way that he loves me;
    I can deserve nothing from him,
    Since what I do is my duty.
    Indeed, even when what I do may seem so good
    I have still not achieved what is right.
    2) Recitative [Soprano]
    Yet people are so impatient
    that often they feel aggrieved
    if dear God gives nothing that is superfluous.
    Has he not for so long
    freely fed and clothed us
    and one day will he not make us blessed
    In his glory?
    It is enough for me
    that I do not have to go to bed hungry.
    3) Aria [Soprano]
    I eat with joy my little piece of bread
    And from my heart do not begrudge my neighbour what is his.
    A quiet conscience, a cheerful spirit,
    a thankful heart, that praises and extols,
    Make blessings greater, make troubles sweet.
    4) Recitative [Soprano]
    In the sweat of my brow
    I will meanwhile enjoy my bread,
    and if my life's course
    is ended by old age,
    then God will give me my pennyworth
    And with this Heaven stands open.
    Oh! If only I had this gift
    as my reward given by his grace
    Then I need nothing else.
    5) Chorale [S, A, T, B]
    Meanwhile I live content in God
    and die without any anxiety;
    I am content with what God ordains,
    I believe and am fully confident
    through your mercy and Christ’s blood
    you will make sure that my end is good!
    Translation by Francis Browne
