佐藤俊介 さん、素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます。CD買いました。日本で演奏会には是非足を運びます。 バッハのニ短調バイオリン協奏曲の演奏で衝撃を受け、この無伴奏バイオリンのためのソナタとパルティータ他の演奏も毎日楽しく拝見しています。 あなたの才能と献身には感動と感謝しかありません。これからのご活躍を心から楽しみにし陰ながら応援しています。 ご存じか分かりませんが、最近日本では「推し」という言葉が流行っているようで、今一つピンときませんでしたが、 ようやく私にも「推し」たいアーティストが見つかりました。

This was the first Bach Cantata I had the opportunity to sing, as a 17 year-old baritone with barely a year’s voice lessons under my belt. It was 1988 or so with the Denton Bach Choir (Texas), with my dad at the helm, and I will never forget the first time reading through the final fugue. That experience hooked me on this music for the rest of my life.

Right from the start you're in one of Bachs finest pieces of music he ever made. This sinfonia, unbelievable well played, is really sensational. Close your eyes and hear how brilliant the instruments are interacting. This is one of a kind.

[@patwolfie]

I could not agree more. Keeping the chorus small is part of the reason for the singular beauty of this recording. The physics of sound is such that eighteen voices can equal the volume of a much larger group while producing far less of what engineers call "noise" (everything other than the intended "signal"). At the same time, partly in consequence, the smaller group will sing with substantially greater precision at great benefit to purity of tone and clarity of enunciation. This is, indeed, a benchmark performance, setting a high standard to which other professional ensembles may profitably aspire. A thrilling rendition to the most jaded ear.

[@tinekedijk7385]

[@markharrington3775]

As a younger man I thought the most joy I could get from Bach performances was the string and keyboard works. As I get older, it's these works with Oboe interplay that are bowling me over. This Seufzer, Tränen Aria with the soprano is close to musical perfection.

Quel plaisir de revoir à nouveau Netherlands Bach Society explorer le monde fantastique des cantates de JS.Bach ! Bien sûr nous nous sommes régalés des divers concertos, symphonies, œuvres pour instrument solo etc mais je me disais, lointain néophyte, Qui va diriger de nouveau les cantates en succession du grand et si convivial Van Veldhoven puisque notre très aimé Sato semblait ne se consacrer qu’à son violon ? Allait-il diriger ? Hésitait-il ? Allait-il sauter le pas ? De France loin de votre activité mensuelle, bref je m’inquiétais… Hé bien voilà, nous découvrons avec joie et un grand bonheur, Sato en chef d’orchestre ! Bravissimo !

So habe ich Johann Sebastian Bach noch nie gehört, ernsthaft,gleichzeitig oder im nächsten Moment verspielt,ein Flirt mit dem ...Schicksal, der Person,die er über Alles liebt ?Voller Hoffnung und Kraft für die Zukunft.Scherzhaft,und tiefgründig,bei meisterhafter Musik,wie auch Solisten. Man hört zu und lächelt über die Leichtigkeit und Scherze,die verdeckte Botschaft ?, den Zuspruch des Komponisten zur Suche nach Freude und Liebe im Leben.

This was absolutely stunning; I first heard this performed by Leonhardt/Harnoncourt, which is rather a long time ago. It is one of my favourite cantatas and this performance blew me away.

[@cliffcolter9161]

Congratulations on completing one of Bach's most difficult Cantata's. This has always been one of my favourites of Bach. Difficult and Challenging vocally, instrumentally and logistically. The hardest part with all of this complexity and moving pieces, is keeping the excitement and emotionalism in tack and driving forward. Shunske Sato does an excellent job of directing this extraordinary Cantata. Ivan Podyomov oboe playing is magical and all of the soloists excel.

[@pauldoerflingerMarcoPolo1947]

Toujours aussi merveilleux et émouvant, et comme toujours pour moi les tous meilleurs interprètes pour les œuvres de Johannes Sebastián BACH,... MERCI, DANKE !

[@bwv7186]

An excellent performance of my favorite cantata ... I call it the "Little Passion". Heard it for the first time after I was in a high speed collision with a semi that left me in a coma. Must have slept well then, for I didn't sleep again after I awoke from it. Not a wink - for three years. It was a sheer, unmitigated hell that left me looking for a way out on every upper story of a high-rise, at every busy street corner. Only an out-of-body experience, that showed me that pain, even torment, had value for the soul, held me back - grudgingly. It was then that I discovered Bach. First Glenn Gould's 1980 recording of the Goldberg Variations. I listened to it again and again for hours, days. That led to the Well-Tempered Clavier. Something about the counterpoint soothed my frenzied mind. Then I heard the Matthew Passion, which was mysteriously cathartic. Peter's failure was personal, the "Erbarme Dich" was my cry. At some point I found the cantatas, this was the first. It's quick succession from despair, the depths of abandonment, to that dancing dialog - "You hate me!" "No, I don't!". It takes us from utter Verzweiflung to hope again in under 40 minutes. Soli Deo gloria, sure, but Bach's music is like the healing waters of a heavenly health spa.

[@janetjuberg8871]

Such joy in the perfect blend of voices and instruments thankyou.

[@stephenlee1756]

I am convinced that listening to Bach's music re-orders the wiring of the brain - gradually putting it into it's proper functioning state.

[@dr.utekarasch-stingl8443]

[@ma859]

Perfection in all aspects. Every performer has his part mastered to perfection yet no one is standing out on his own and in perfect harmony and united in this piece in Bach’s intention. It is not easy to achieve such level of performance and interpretation. Sato is truly talented as a conductor and leader, not just as violinist. He gives each player and singer autonomy and freedom of expression yet unites everyone in perfect balance. Such beauty and humanity.

[@elaineharper5505]

Like our friend from China, I should love this glorious music to resonate in all the underground bunkers in Ukraine and on the streets so that the Russian soldiers might hear this also and detach themselves from the tragic fighting which is killing 100,s of them as well as the innocent Ukrainian people.God bless both sides and again a million thanks for this heavenly and timely music.Elaine.Cardiff.

[@andreasalbarosa7247]

Come descrivere questa cantata se non un opera capace di toccare ogni singola corda della nostra fragile anima. Oramai sono anni che mi trovo a convivere costantemente con un peso interiore che spesso mi fa dire “ne ho abbastanza”. A parte l’amore della mia famiglia Bach è l’unico compagno fedele a cui posso rivolgermi in qualsiasi momento, triste o felice che sia. Che siano lacrime di felicità, energia o tristezza spesso c’è lui ad accompagnarle. La mia battaglia non è ancora finita, anzi il contrario; ogni volta che penso all’indifferenza improvvisa di una persona per cui ho provato qualcosa, per la quale sono sempre stato disponibile, generoso come dovrebbe fare almeno chi si reputa amico, mi devasta. Dopo molte lacrime e sofferenze ho deciso di seppellire quel sentimento e desidero irrealizzabile per cercare di rimanere almeno amici. Ma sembra che io sia scomparso anche se davanti a lei, come chi ha amato il signore in vita ma abbandonato appena posto sulla croce. Sospiri, lacrime, tristezza, miseria, ansia timorosa, paura e morte rodono il mio cuore oppresso, sono pieno di afflizione e miseria. Spesso quando leggo il testo di questa cantata vedo un eco con la mia anima piegata dalla sofferenza. Viviamo accettando parte del nostro dolore ma non viviamo solo con esso, godiamoci i tanti bei doni che la vita ci pone dinnanzi anche nei momenti più oscuri. Godiamo del calore della famiglia, amiamo l’amico con le braccia aperte, accogliamolo e aiutiamolo nel bisogno; preghiamo per chi soffre malanni e subisce ingiustizie. Grazie Bach per avermi accompagnato sempre, per avermi fatto scoprire parti di me sconosciute, grazie per avermi trasmesso l’amore per la fede che sempre accompagna la tua musica.

Exquisite. Rarely can I use classical as background, but a difficult task in progress, so just this once... HOWEVER - when this duet began I had to stop what I was doing and sit down and pay full attention.

What a pleasure seeing Shunske Sato conducting from the heart of the ensemble. And what a beautiful solution to the contemporary dilemma of "socially distanced" performance. You are not playing to an empty hall. The feeling here is of an inward focus that radiates outward to a suffering world. Play on, my friends!

Such an interesting cantata. The first part so reminiscent of the early cantatas such as Aus der tiefen,, such beautiful melancholy and sublime use. of oboe. Then to follow up such despair with inklings of hope followed by such a magnificent final chorus. What would the last two years had been like without Bach. Thank you for sharing such beauty with the world.

[@catallaxy2000]

What can be said of Bach and hid music that hasn't already been said? It is simply miraculous...
