Mit Schaudern und Tränen, höre ich diese Interpretation, nur diese und sonst keine andere von den meisten ausdruckslosen Aufnahmen, was es gibt! ¡Gracias Maestro Gardiner, coro, orquesta y solistas!
Eine wirklich herausragende Aufführung! Chor und Orchester wirken mit größter Präzision und zugleich größtem musikalischem Ausdruck zusammen. Die wohl beste Aufnahme des Weihnachtsoratoriums, die ich bisher auf TH-cam gefunden habe!
I agree, but do you know die Weihnachtshistorie by Heinrich Schütz? He wrote it about 100 years earlier whilst we had in Germany the so called 30jährigen Krieg, 30 years war. I love both compositions very much. At Christmas Eve we prefer Schütz, on the other days Bach of course, Thomanerchor conducted by Christoph Biller.
Oui,Fritz,je partage votre point de vue,JS Bach nous à fait le suprême cadeau de Noël, douceur,vive,subtilites,fine joie,plénitude en la béatitude 🎶💙🦉Sagesse😊 Très bon et joyeux Noë dans la paix du Cœur l !
The choir and band are great and the direction is wonderful. The tempo in the first chorus is slower than a a lot of performances and is perfect and the whole thing makes me come back to it many times.
I've listened to many performances of the Christmas Oratorio. This is my favorite. There's nothing about it that doesn't thrill me. Great musicians, singers and conductor. In tune. Accurate ensemble. Excellent balance. I like the tempi. Thank you for this. Almost makes me into one of the faithful.
Hohe Praezision, groesste Konzentration mit Freude eine WUNDERSCHOENE Wiedergabe von allen Beteiligten besonders von dem Grossen Dirigenten. Herzlichen Dank. Gisela
Das ist das best inszenierte Weihnachtsoratorium. Kraftvoll vitale Sänger, spannend in Erzählform, Orchester wunderbar. Höre hin und wieder andere, aber ich komme immer wieder auf dieses zurück und das schon jahrelang. Vielen Dank.
“Grosser Herr”. My favourite of all time. I try to sing along with it. My favourite recording of this oratorio. All Bach is great,but this is one of his greatest. He gave his uneducated audience a chance with all those repeats. I am grateful for that.
Prachtig,..... ik heb genoten van de muziek, solisten Monteverdi-koor, en speciaal van de expressiviteit in het dirigeren van Maestro John Eliot Gardiner, in een woord SUBLIEM ♥️
One of my very favorite TH-cam videos. I watch it every year just before Christmas. Both parts. It nourishes my soul, moves me deeply, and I feel gratitude towards every person in this video, and all the people behind the scenes who worked so hard to make it. Oh, and to that J.S. guy. He had a hand in it also, after all. OK, now on to part 2.
I agree! I used to listen to in in my home town of Hamburg in the main church, St. Michaelis, and this makes me feel at home again. I start listening in November and can't stop until January.
Bach is the greatest composer of all times - there is no doubt about it. Gardiner is a good conductor, but the greatest merit of his very beautiful performances belongs to the mastery of his players and singers. He has no exceptional merit in it.
@@VernonVince Yes, but he, although isn't more important than the players and singers, is the responsible for the music and text analysis, and the main responsible for the interpretation.
I've noticed in the last few years the majority of people I ask who their favourite composer is, they reply Bach. Before you'd get more Mozart or Beethoven. But for me, Bach is the greatest by some distance. I've heard people say he's proof that God exists!
I can't stop listening to the Aria (A) for Alto from Part I, Bernarda Fink's voice is absolutely amazing and she's from my country. 'Bereite dich, Zion, mit zärtlichen Trieben, Den Schönsten, den Liebsten bald bei dir zu sehn! Deine Wangen Müssen heut viel schöner prangen, Eile, den Bräutigam sehnlichst zu lieben!' Thanks for this Christmas gift, thanks to all involved in this magnificent performance and to J.S. Bach, the one and only !
The Christmas Oratorio is the nourishment to the soul to feed faith, optimism, energy and hope for a good NEW YEAR. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND CHEERS FOR A GOOD 2020!
I frequently listen to Bach's Oratorio, it revitalises hopes and internal peace, yet, the year 2020 has become globally, a living hell, due to COVID-19. The old saying is worth to print out here, hope dies with Man. Let us not give up, unite and follow the strict advice from WHO and the CDC.
Am attending a performance of this music this week by Cleveland's Baroque Orchestra, Apollo's Fire. Listening to the this is a great preparation. The soprano is wonderful. Perfect for Bach.
Jack Archer We attended one on Friday, at the Historical Museum of Speyer (C: Leo Kraemer). Amazingly enough, it came quite close to Gardiner's version. Such glorious joy! Merry Christmas to you!
Felt like listening to this on Christmas Eve 2017. This is the closest I get to the Christian traditions I grew up having. (Though now I'm agnostic/atheist--can't really trust organized religion anymore.) I've returned to my childhood home, joined by parents and siblings, just enjoying a peaceful and nice Christmas. And now I top this off with Bach's great Weihnachtsoratorium! Happy holidays everyone!
I can't really say whether God is real or not but priests are certainly not the barometer. The fact that God isn't with any current church shouldn't convince you he's nowhere to be found.
Очень красивое произведение! Бас и альт понравились особо, а вообще супер всё и дирижёр отличный! Бах писал очень богодухновенно! Упокой, Господи, его душу.
Un pûre émerveillement. Réentendre et revoir ce chef-d'oeuvre absolu interprété sur des instruments d'époque; des musiciens, des solistes et des choeurs d'une telle hauteur; m'a ravi en extaze...
Je souhaite une sainte fête de Noël à tous ceux qui voient en cette fête, l'appel d'un regard nouveau sur les événements et les êtres sui nous entourent. Spécialement les enfants qui ont un regard merveilleux sur la crèche et l'enfant qui s'y trouve. Père Philippe.
Charmed by, particularly, the German pronunciation and the thorough attention given the conductor by the singers (for some of them, the music folders are just for show). The brisk pace brings a liveliness to the music. All the musicians seem totally in control of their material. The cameras work themselves deeply into the players. We get many fine details: Fingerwork, facial expressions, light gleaming on the instruments. A very pleasing experience watching this video. Thank you!
Yes, and the reason for it: The German language is a very beautiful one. May be you never heard that or considered it to be so. By the way, even your name is a German one. We have a town named Stromberg in the Southern parts of our country.😊😃
As to the German language it is certainly a must to all singers of The Lieder by Schubert and Mahler and others and almost impossible to master by Anglo/Americans, except Thomas Hampson trained by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. The unique aria g flat by Pamina in the Magic Flute, why did Mozart compose it so difficult in German that rarely the best of best German singers can master it while the Italian version does not have these language problems. Anyhow as Hampson once remarked the best language for singing is the Russian language because it reflects wonderfully the emotions. Listen to late Dmitri Hvorostovsky: „the cranes“.
Ένα συγκλονιστικό έργο πού τό έκανε αριστούργημα ό χαρισματικός μαέστρος Όσο υπάρχουν αυτής της εμβέλειας μουσικοί αυτή ή μουσική δεν θά σβήσει ποτέ Από Ελλάδα
I dislike it that, whenever there's a grand piece of music being played, there's so much criticism and comparison with other famous artist, or the Grand Masters. Bach is not Mozart or Beethoven or anyone else. This should not be compared. Each is his own great God given talent. Shortshightedness and short of hearing is the culprit. Let's all appreciate what we hear, it is beyond beauty.
junglemonkey my favourite quote is from some well- known music pundit (unfortunately I don’t remember who it was). He said „Bach composed for God. Mozart for the world. And Beethoven for freedom.“ I think there’s some truth in it
I agree with all those who praise Bernarda Fink. But I also am fond of Dietrich Hebschel's strong voice. And he sang from memory, thus with great excessive freedom.
Heavenly! Maestro Gardiner is a wizard with that alchemic wand. Thank you to all the musicians and singers for such an uplifting and sublime interpretation.❤️🙏🏽🎉🎄✨🌈🇿🇦

Excellent performances all round but the real genius of course is Bach. How does one imagine so many harmonious parts overlapping like this. Incredible.

Dietrich Henschel is my favorite in this, especially "Großer Herr". Christoph Genz is a fine Evangelist but he can't quite handle the fast bits in "Frohe Hirten" :(
Regocijaos, alegraos! ¡Celebrad estos días! ¡Exaltad lo que ha hecho hoy el Altísimo! ¡Dejad el temor, alejad los lamentos! ¡Cantad, llenos de júbilo y alegría! ¡Servid al Altísimo con magníficos coros! ¡Adoremos el nombre de nuestro soberano!
@@JochenArweilerYes, Bach was a Lutheran. Weimar Herder Church (where this is being played) is Lutheran Church north of Germany. Protestants in the country mostly reside in the North while Catholics mostly reside in the South. (Where Pope Benedict XVI is from, a city in Bavaria). This contains paintings by Lucas Cranach, a friend of Martin Luther in 1521 during the Protestant Reformation.
Can I just say how very grateful I am for this? How grateful I am to Bach. To TH-cam and to the person who posted this. Humble thanks from India. 🙏🏾

Ew cringe athiest comment
I also think that this is the actually intended tempo for the entire oratio. This feels a lot more alive.
Me too, when i'm listening to Bach. This is a glorious performance.
It's just Divine
On the music I agree. As far as almost, what’s holding you back?
Bernarda Fink has the most beautifully rich voice.
The opening chorus dances without stomping! Very musical and elegant!
I hear so many new things when I listen to this version. It's so rich. Gorgeous.
Wonderful display of Christmas Carol. I feel the glory of God in me
There is no God. Wake up.
@@freakshow1997 I pity you.
You're right, I felt it also. Praise be to God!
Believe or not, listen to what belief has wrought. The highest and most moving of human artifacts.

Dietrich Henschel is my favorite in this, especially "Großer Herr". Christoph Genz is a fine Evangelist but he can't quite handle the fast bits in "Frohe Hirten" :(
Thank you a lot for your contribution, we included it in the description :) and thank u as well for your feedback!
Regocijaos, alegraos! ¡Celebrad estos días!
¡Exaltad lo que ha hecho hoy el Altísimo!
¡Dejad el temor, alejad los lamentos!
¡Cantad, llenos de júbilo y alegría!
¡Servid al Altísimo con magníficos coros!
¡Adoremos el nombre de nuestro soberano!

Belo oratório de Natal. Bach e também nós estamos felizes en ouví-lo!!!!
I believe in Bach. So does God.
there is no God.
Bach believed strongly in God. That's correct.
@@JochenArweilerYes, Bach was a Lutheran. Weimar Herder Church (where this is being played) is Lutheran Church north of Germany. Protestants in the country mostly reside in the North while Catholics mostly reside in the South. (Where Pope Benedict XVI is from, a city in Bavaria). This contains paintings by Lucas Cranach, a friend of Martin Luther in 1521 during the Protestant Reformation.
Am proud to hear it from my hometown weimar and from that wonderful church
Christmas time is not Christmas time 🎄 for me if I haven‘t been to the christmas oratorio at least once
Absolutely. I make it. point to listen every Sunday starting month of December
Mathilde Wesendonck Same here. Merry Christmas! 🎄❤️

A very energetic and briskly interpretation. Great sense of metric and and very rhythmic giving a dance like style type of feeling. Very nice!
