Weer een Prachtige♥️ vertolking van de NBS, vooral het openingscoraal en de aria van bariton Matthew Brook., wat een expressiviteit in zn gezicht. Bravo allemaal, het blijft genieten van al jullie uitvoeringen en achtergrond uitleg👏👏, een luxe in deze coronatijd

[@Boterkoekjes]

I will never in my life get enough of this opening chorus. I’ve listened to it since I was 16 years old and 20 years later it’s still my favourite piece of music in the world. The first ‘Erscheine’ in the fuga moved me to tears in this recording. Every musician is performing so well and there’s so much movement, nothing static. I truly love it.

[@theonion7]

The opening chorus is a miracle and has to be my favorite cantata movement in the oeuvre.

[@lotharlamurtra7924]

Boterkoekjes This is exactly what I feel!

I will never listen to the Monophonic ten tenors ever again. This chorus is what Polyphony is all about. Amazing

Bach mi stupisce ogni giorno di più. Lo ascolto da 27 anni e non mi stanca mai 😊❤

[@2arizona1990]

One of my dreams is to actually be able to hear one of your concerts in person, and maybe even sing with you. I'm from Colorado, USA, and a classically trained baritone singer of opera, oratorio, cantata, and the like. I've sung many Bach and Handel selections over the years, and I can say with all honesty that I've never heard a group as magnificent as yours is in performing Bach. Your attention to exquisite detail and stylistic performance of the baroque era, particularly Bach, is stunning! Please don't ever stop what you're doing. Additionally, the baritone soloist in this cantata, Matthew Brook, is absolutely marvelous. He pours his heart into his singing and every time I hear him it gives me goose bumps. Matthew has become my favorite baritone voice since John Shirley-Quirk and his quality transports me to heaven every time I hear his interpretation of Bach. God's blessings on you all, and may you all be kept healthy through this worldwide pandemic!

In a time ravaged by a pandemic, one in which our leaders - at least here in America - sow discord and hate for selfish motives - this cantata is a balm for the soul. Moments of tranquility are few. Matthew in particular gives a wonderful performance. Thank you. With love for the NBS, JSB,and my fellow mankind. Stu

Wunderschöne und tiefempfundene Aufführung dieser kompakten und perfekt komponierten Kantate mit perfekt vereinigten Tönen aller historischen Instrumente sowie gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors und, vor allem, herrlichen Stimmen beider genialen Solisten. Der gelehrte und unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Ensemble im gut analysierten Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Alles ist wunderbar!

BWV 104 - "Du Hirte Israel, höre" Cantata for Misericordias Domini 1. Chor Du Hirte Israel, höre, der du Joseph hütest wie der Schafe, erscheine, der du sitzest über Cherubim. (Psalm 80:1-2) 1. Chorus You Shepherd of Israel, hear, You who watch over Joseph like a sheep, appear, You who sit above the Cherubim. 2. Rezitativ T Der höchste Hirte sorget vor mich, Was nützen meine Sorgen? Es wird ja alle Morgen Des Hirten Güte neu. Mein Herz, so fasse dich, Gott ist getreu. 2. Recitative T The Highest Shepherd watches over me, what use are my worries? Indeed every morning is the Shepherd's goodness renewed. My heart, take hold of yourself, God is faithful. 3. Arie T Verbirgt mein Hirte sich zu lange, Macht mir die Wüste allzu bange, Mein schwacher Schritt eilt dennoch fort. Mein Mund schreit nach dir, Und du mein Hirte, wirkst in mir Ein gläubig Abba durch dein Wort. 3. Aria T Though my Shepherd might remain hidden, though the wilderness makes me all too fearful, nevertheless my weak steps hurry forth. My mouth cries to You, and You my Shepherd, inspire in me a faithful "Abba"* through Your word. 4. Rezitativ B Ja, dieses Wort ist meiner Seelen Speise, Ein Labsal meiner Brust, Die Weide, die ich meine Lust, Des Himmels Vorschmack, ja mein alles heiße. Ach! Sammle nur, o guter Hirte, Uns Arme und Verirrte; Ach laß den Weg nur bald geendet sein Und führe uns in deinen Schafstall ein! 4. Recitative B Yes, this word is the nourishment of my soul, a refreshment to my breast, the pasture, which I call my delight, the fortaste of heaven, indeed my all. Ah! Only gather, o good Shepherd, us poor and erring ones; ah, let our journey soon reach an end and lead us into your sheepfold! 5. Arie B Beglückte Herde, Jesu Schafe, Der Welt ist euch ein Himmelreich. Hier schmeckt ihr Jesu Güte schon Und hoffet noch des Glaubens Lohn Nach einem sanften Todesschlafe. 5. Aria B Happy flock, sheep of Jesus, the world is a heavenly kingdom to you. Here you already taste Jesus' goodness and hope still for faith's reward after a gentle sleep of death. 6. Choral Der Herr ist mein getreuer Hirt, Dem ich mich ganze vertraue, Zur Weid er mich, sein Schäflein, führt, Auf schöner grünen Aue, Zum frischen Wasser leit' er mich, Mein Seel zu laben kräftiglich Durchs selig Wort der Gnaden. ("Der Herr ist mein getreuer Hirt," verse 1) 6. Chorale The Lord is my faithful shepherd, to whom I entrust myself totally, He leads me, His lamb, to pasture in a lovely green meadow, He leads me to fresh water, to refresh my soul powerfully through the blessed word of grace. Psalm 80:1-2 (mov't. 1); "Der Herr ist mein getreuer Hirt," verse 1: Cornelius Becker 1598 (mov't. 6) * "Abba" is Hebrew for "Father" ©Pamela Dellal

Thou, shepherd of Israel, listen: Thou, who lead Joseph like a flock, seated on the cherubs, shine forth. The Supreme Shepherd watches over me, why bother? Every morning the goodness of the shepherd is renewed. My heart, rest assured, God is faithful. Even if my shepherd stay hidden, even if the desert disturbs me, my feeble steps are hastened. My mouth invokes Thee and Thou, my shepherd, inspire in me a faithful: "Abba, Father" through Thy word. Yes, this word is nourishment for my soul, balm for my chest, the pasture that I consider my joy, a first fruit from Heaven, is everything for me. Ah, gather, oh good sheperd, us poor and lost; ah, let our journey end early and lead us to Thy fold. Blessed flock, lamb of Jesus, the world is for you the Kingdom of Heaven. Here you already have a foretaste of the goodness of Jesus and hope for the reward of faith after the sweet sleep of death. The Lord is my faithful shepherd, to whom I can entrust myself completely, He takes me, His lamb, to pasture on green and lovely meadows, to fresh waters He leads me, with strenghth He refreshes my soul by means of His blessed word.

9:26 through 16:24: Can someone who knows music well describe what's happening here. It's very beautiful and I'm fascinated by the vocal line, which seems not atypical of Bach. The harmony between the melodic line of the vocal part and that of the orchestra are arrestingly unconventional--or am I wrong. It's extraordinarily beautiful and seem somehow peculiarly Germanic. Am I going crazy or is this a "thing," i.e. a true phenomenon?

Hanoukka (15 déc) et la prière juive de "Shema Yisrael" : Écoute, ô Israël

[@Ivan1985recife]

1. Was mein Gott will, das g'scheh allzeit, Sein Will, der ist der beste; Zu helfen den'n er ist bereit, Die an ihn gläuben feste. Er hilft aus Not, der fromme Gott, Und züchtiget mit Maßen: Wer Gott vertraut, fest auf ihn baut, Den will er nicht verlassen. 2. Entsetze dich, mein Herze, nicht, Gott ist dein Trost und Zuversicht Und deiner Seele Leben. Ja, was sein weiser Rat bedacht, Dem kann die Welt und Menschenmacht Unmöglich widerstreben. 3. O Törichter! der sich von Gott entzieht Und wie ein Jonas dort Vor Gottes Angesichte flieht; Auch unser Denken ist ihm offenbar, Und unsers Hauptes Haar Hat er gezählet. Wohl dem, der diesen Schutz erwählet Im gläubigen Vertrauen, Auf dessen Schluss und Wort Mit Hoffnung und Geduld zu schauen. 4. So geh ich mit beherzten Schritten, Auch wenn mich Gott zum Grabe führt. Gott hat die Tage aufgeschrieben, So wird, wenn seine Hand mich rührt, Des Todes Bitterkeit vertrieben. 5. Drum wenn der Tod zuletzt den Geist Noch mit Gewalt aus seinem Körper reißt, So nimm ihn, Gott, in treue Vaterhände! Wenn Teufel, Tod und Sünde mich bekriegt Und meine Sterbekissen Ein Kampfplatz werden müssen, So hilf, damit in dir mein Glaube siegt! O seliges, gewünschtes Ende! 6. Noch eins, Herr, will ich bitten dich, Du wirst mir's nicht versagen: Wenn mich der böse Geist anficht, Laß mich doch nicht verzagen. Hilf, steur und wehr, ach Gott, mein Herr, Zu Ehren deinem Namen. Wer das begehrt, dem wird's gewährt; Drauf sprech ich fröhlich: Amen.

@@alpinoalpini3849 This is simply not one of greatest cantatas. If you don`t like my comment, I am sorry. I would say the same thing about Handel`s Athalia as compared to Solomon, or Schumann`s first symphony compared to his second etc.

It’s not as catchy as 140, 106, or 54, but man that opening movement is wonderful. The bass aria is also exceptional. Bach always seems to surprise me with every single work of his, in some way or another... there’s no real point in saying one is greater than another. Bach probably might not care to think of it that way, anyhow. They’re all soli deo gloria :D
