A channel whose videos I can always like with confidence (the opening shots alone justify it). 🕊️ AMDG

"Corno" - short for "cornetto". Hand stopping wasn't used in Bach's time. Employ a cornettist!

[@Oppenslimer]

You don't understand how happy this makes me. I recently discovered this piece and wanted to hear it from the best of the best. Love you guys❤

[@dmorganme80]

Thank you for the English translation. It changes the listening experience. I have always heard the cantatas as pure music and it is wonderful to hear the interaction with the text.

Going to see Shunske Sato this Saturday in Miami! He will be conducting the New World Symphony

[@andreamundt]

Brilliant Guy Cutting! 🏆 This entire performance is absolutely stunning! 😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 🎥🎧

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Thank you Shunske Sato for this time as artistic director of NBS! You and NBS are together a milestone in the art of playing and singing Bach.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

And musically this is one of the most interesting cantatas, here in a wonderful uptaking with NBS. Shunske Sato, you will be missed, but I still hope for seeing you together with these clever musicians in the future! 🙏

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Bach has a wonderful way of ending his movements, they just stop! Without any upbuilding before a "grand finale". Listen for examle at the ending of the first, "Ach wie flüchtig.." Listen from 2:14 . Marvellous!

[@kvxmgshredder94]

Donderdag is mijn favoriete dag!

[@sharpjs]

That traverso (flute) player has marvellously even motor control.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

The more I listen to this, the more fascinated I get. The upbuiling of music, the structure. At first, how a psalm / the choir/ can interfere in a good way in this advanced building of musical movements, instruments that individually and together build the structure in this. And so it goes on, an advanced musical building, with wonderful tenor and bass, ending in a choir: Ach wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig. And yes, life is flüchtig, but this music will stay forever.

Desconocía esta obra de Bach. Magnífica como todas. Gracias, amigos!

[@rocketsroar1]

Bach depicts life flitting by at breakneck speed!

[@antonellabaluganti8109]

Meravigliosa bellissima sinfonia

[@emilalbazi8691]

Bach didn't need to compose opera, his glorious cantatas covered everything from A to Z

[@georgescouthon2268]

I've seen Guy Cutting this week-end in Paris, as Evangelist in Matthew Passion. Glad to see him again ! Great work !

[@jeanyves35800]

Magnifique, tout simplement magnifique. Merci à cette formation de nous offrir de si belles interprétations. 🥰👏👏

[@jefferyrowley8873]

Thank you Shunske Sato for your occasional direction of this group! Being an organist I really love the Cantata's that bore the idea of the big organ Choral Preludes and this is certainly one of them. I especailly loved the Arie "So schnell" and the tenor that made the whole thing so musical and unforced.

[@arendsteenks8006]

Het blijft onbegrijpelijk waar Bach de tijd en inspiratie vandaan heeft gehaald om zoveel muziek en dan ook in verschillende vormen te schrijven. Wellicht is het geheim: Soli Deo Gloria

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Because he had to do so? Every sunday a new cantata. Still unbelievable with a family and all daily circumstances. Maybe because he dedicated all his music to God? We can only say: He was not lazy at all!

[@consumethelegumes6078]

I’ve been waiting so long for the NBS to record possibly my favourite Cantata! Thank you

[@hiberniancaveman8970]

A powerful cantata!

[@dr.utekarasch-stingl8443]

Thank you. I love this so much.

The parallel fourths in the first movement are really unique! So cool

[@erasmuspommer4785]

Excellent!

[@alessandrosacco3272]

Siete i migliori!!!!!Vi adoro 🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👏

[@nicola84palm]

The second aria is a pure dance of joy

[@alfredbackhus6110]

Sato's style of violin playing might be not everyones cup of tea but there is no doubt it blends exceptionally well with winds. The exchange with the traverso is almost like a well practiced folk duo.

[@ВитаБунина]

Perfection!❤

[@unagondolaunremo]

"on the occasion of his farewell as artistic director of the Netherlands Bach Society": what a pity!

[@TitiLatulipe]

Comment et pourquoi cela ? Ce jeune chef reste un peu l'âme de cette formation classique. Sans lui, je suppose que de nombreux projets de création seraient à remettre en question, voir non envisageables pour moi avec cet ensemble. À bien réfléchir… Se serait vraiment dommage de devoir se désimpliquer maintenant. Alors que nous avons si bien fait connaissance... Tenez nous au courant. Bien cordialement...

[@unagondolaunremo]

@@TitiLatulipe oui, c'est grand dommage!

[@engobeats]

nice

[@BachHymnbook1750]

To sing along with the chorales (first and last movements): 1. Ach wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig 1. Oh how fleeting, how defeating Ist der Menschen Leben! Is our earthly being! Wie ein NEBEL bald entstehet, Like a mist that rises thickly Und bald wiederum vergehet, And dissolves again as quickly So ist unser LEBEN, sehet! So our lives end just as swiftly. 13. Ach wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig 13. Oh how fleeting, how defeating, Sind der Menschen Sachen! Is our earthly labor! Alles, alles was wir sehen, Everything that we are seeing, Das muß fallen und vergehen, Will one day be disappearing; Wer Gott fürcht, bleibt ewig stehen. Those who trust God, nothing fearing.

Wie so oft von bestürzender Schönheit . 🤍

[@charlesjenner1951]

Magnificent performance by the orchestra and soloists, although the tempi were a little rushed.

[@oxoelfoxo]

hope GTranslate did this justice: 0:12 Oh how fleeting, oh how insignificant (chorus) 2:40 So quickly a rushing water (aria) 8:44 Joy turns to sadness (recitative) 9:43 The heart is set on earthly treasures (aria) 13:38 The highest glory (recitative) 14:30 Oh how fleeting, oh how insignificant (chorale)

[@valtergilenardi2639]

Senza Bach ricadrei in Depressione maggiore! Ma finché c'è Bach c'è Gioia e Meraviglia 😊❤. Questo è il mio unico e Meraviglioso Antidepressivo che mi rende una roccia! 👑🎼🎹🎹🎻🎻🎻🎻🎺🎺🎺🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶✌💪❤😊

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Bach was not only in contact with God, he was also in contact with human nature. Good luck in your using of Bach as an antidepressive!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Good luck in using Bach as an antidepressiv! I believe Bach gives you a thumb up👍

[@michaeldrewes-topic591]

Which it does nowadays indeed.

[@kilihito1]

佐藤さんとみなさん、他にも東洋系の方もおられるようですが、 名前が出てないので分からない。 指揮と演奏されているのは今回初めて観ました。 他の動画でも普段着で飲んでるような形でされてるのを見ると、 いろいろアイデアを出し合っているのかな、と。 でも古典なので音は変えられない、という制限があるというもどかしさ。 演奏されてる方の思い、感想、あとは解説などがあれば さらに壁を低く出来るかな、とは思いますが難しいのでしょうね。いろいろと。 お疲れさまでした。(´ω`*)

[@bach]

Under each of out videos you can find a link to our website with all the credits. In addition we also have several videos with the different musicians about their instruments and how they play Bach. Hope this helps!

[@Schleiermacher1000]

Sehr schön. Die Tenorarie, na ja, ich fand sie etwas holzig gesungen.

[@sunkenindeaf]

Waving at Mr Sato. The Society's notes on second movement, the tenor aria: _"(...) The musical line is filled with lengthy melismas, series of notes to one syllable, which are supposed to express the fleeting nature of life. Near the end, Bach, master of the musical trick, even lets us get rather impatient: the many repeats and the return of the ritornello could easily get on your nerves."_ Alright, this movement is required to make the point, but good grief, it gets truly annoying: _"So schne-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-hell."_ Like choral parodies by Peter Ustinov. As for the text. I believe that Michael Franck, the baker from Coburg must have had a pure mind. Though after centuries of hypocrisy and deception carried out by the establishment, Franck's words seem to have drifted towards sarcasm, if not irrelevance.

[@d.macrae461]

You're right on the mark with the 'parody' comment - this feeling could have been relieved if the tempo were relaxed just a little. This is the audible difference between 'urgent' and 'frenetic'. However, I prefer the musical parodies of Professor Peter Schickele to those of Peter U.

[@JDERIEL]

Hate to disagree with the consensus, but this is a poor recording. I love attending live performances in period appropriate venues like this cathedral, but the acoustics of stone walls are terrible for recording.

[@miguelrode]

Can you elaborate on what you don't like about the recording?
