In the first Helsinki International Ballet Competition in 1984 I saw quite a fantastic modern variation based on this cantata. The male dancer was Canadian. I still remember some of the movements inspired by the Concerto.

[@donnewmeyer3133]

[@lorpa2102]

@@donnewmeyer3133 Thank you!

[@kikivolauvent1]

@@donnewmeyer3133 That is so interesting, thank you very much!

[@bach]

Correct. And besides a video connection, the organist also has an audio connection (via the mics - which are recording anyway - and a monitor speaker next to the organist) which allows him to hear the important instruments. Otherwise it would be very difficult to sync between organ and orchestra/choir from such a distance.

[@costantinobenini2991]

Spirit and soul are confused when they contemplate Thee, my God, since the miracles they learn and which people proclaim exultantly have made them deaf and dumb. I am amazed; everything we see fills us with amazement. Contemplating Thee, beloved Son of God, they fail reason and common sense. Thou even succeed to make a miracle a little thing in front of Thee. Thou art already a miracle event for Thy name, Thy acts and Thy mission, no wonder on earth compares to Thee. Restore hearing to the deaf make the dumb talk, yes, even more, open the eyelids of the blind with a word. These, these are miracles whose power cannot not even be expressed by the choir of angels. God has done everything well. His love, His fidelity they are renewed for us every day. When anguish and pain oppress us He grants us abundant comfort, for He is always watching over us. God has done everything well. Ah, mighty God, let me always remind me of all these things, so I can with joy let Thee penetrate my soul. Make Thy sweet "Ephphatha" soften my hardened heart; ah, place Thy merciful fingers on my ears, otherwise I would already be lost. Touch my tongue too with Thy mighty hand, so I can praise these miraculous signs with deep devotion proving to be Thy son and heir. I just wish to live with God, ah! if only the time had already come to raise a joyful Hallelujah with all the angels. My dear Jesus, deliver me from the painful game of suffering and allow me to finish soon my tormented life in Thy hands.

[@ttwiligh7]

Beautiful video. It's always nice to see Jos van Veldhoven's smile conducting a piece with joy..This is the moment I want to believe the eternity of human souls so that Bach in heaven could see how much we love his music....

[@ttwiligh7]

What I love most about Jos van Veldhoven the conductor and Van Doeselaar the organist is that they are grooving so well together. To me, rhythmical groove is often a crucial aspect to enjoy Bach, and it's actually rare to find a performance like this. That is of course mostly conductor's responsibility, but you need an organist who has a good sense of rhythm too, not just for keeping steady tempo but grooving. And this organist has one. You can hear he is producing the beat himself not just following or catching up others. It's anyway hard to synchronize with orchestra I assume, so you can hear a bit of separation in some parts, but he controls very well. So uplifting and enjoyable. I also love how string players dance with joy.

[@rachelvisconti7287]

Johann Sebastian Bach, spirito fulgido che dà gloria a Dio con tutto il talento che Questi gli ha donato, la sua "ricchezza" sulla terra. Egli l'ha voluta ridonare al suo Creatore e Redentore con tutte le proprie capacità... Johann Sebastian, Cantore della gloria di Dio... Se questo suo canto ci cattura, avvolge, ci assorbe alla presenza del Vivente, cosa sarà del canto di tutti gli Angeli e della Comunione sempiterna dei Santi? Se un canto terreno è così sublime (a mio parere il più sublime), cosa sarà il canto celeste del Paradiso? Amo questa musica perché mi mette in qualche modo in contatto con la Potenza della Realtà Divina Celeste. E amo questo gruppo musicale, che svolge questo servizio sublime, impareggiabile... Grazie a Dio, grazie a questi suoi ministri...!

[@bobh5087]

*What a joy and delight. Un grand merci à tous!* I believe this is the only Bach cantata that features an organ obligato part in every movement except recitatives. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) It's very unusual - and wonderful - to hear a *Reed stop* (Rankett? Krummhorn?) used in the second aria organ part (15:12). Most organists I've heard just use an 8' (4') 2' (Zimbel) combination. Also worth mentioning: One certainly *doesn't* need to be a believer in God - as in Maarten Engeltjes' case here - in order to create "divine" music. 👍 Again, many, many thanks to all - *Beautifully performed.* 💖🎶

[@DocVulkan]

I can tell that Bach relished the alto he had at the time this was composed, because his organ part reflects back to the alto in such a free and fun manner. I bet Bach had the time of his life performing this with whoever sang it. Two geniuses get to show off in a true bravura style!

The instrumentalists seem to be really enjoying the sinfonia (which looks like a lot of fun to play!) I noticed the woman with the curved instrument in the woodwind section. At first I thought it was a large cornetto, but saw that she's clearly playing a double reed instrument. A Google search led me to the oboe da caccia, which was invented in Leipzig and used by Bach in several cantatas. I consider myself pretty knowledgable about early music, but had never heard of this instrument before!

I'm really wondering if this cantata "works"... the individual parts is sublime music, but it has a sort of patchwork feeling that makes it somehow less than the sum of its parts. The organ is the absolute star here (those symphonies!) and also in the performance van Doeselaar is exceptional and engaged. I'm less enamoured by Engeltjes , particularly in the first aria, where he sounds cautious, somehow nervous, with a thin upper register and not too expressive. Despite all that, a very enjoyable rendition!

[@silviosaditesche1556]

O barroco gracioso e profundo em seu auge com Bach!

[@stevebryant8776]

Interesting choice of vocalist for this wide-ranging part. It's a pretty large orchestra to cut through, yet Engeltjes manages with his sharp-edged tone.
