Bach - Cantata Jesus nahm zu sich die Zwölfe BWV 22 - Kuijken | Netherlands Bach Society

[@jorgeurzuaurzua4011]

The Netherlands Bach Society has completed many high quality recordings of old JS Bach. Very often the musical arrangements, period instruments and ensembles are selected to give the listener the experience of the attendances to Bach concerts. However, nobody can really know how those pieces sounded at that time. One valuable merit of the Bach Society is that future audiences will have these records and videos to know how Bach music sounded during our time.

[@jareid]

If Bach had soloists like yours, it’s no wonder he got the position in Leipzig! SUPERB!

[@VernonVince]

A very dense and dramatic Cantata by the Magister Maximus. It is a great pleasure to see a performer like Sigiswald Kuijken with his curriculum and reputation directing the Netherlands Bach Society. Thank you so much for your incredible work!

[@TheSummoner]

A great pleasure indeed!

[@bobbyalarcon_music]

Thank you for the amazing work your society of talented musicians contributes on this platform. Your dedication to the Great composer is truly inspiring the next generation of musicians!

Maravilloso esa voz del barítono. Toda la Cantata, un momumento a la belleza. Sólo Bach podía crear esa perfección.

[@renatorubino1776]

Questa Composizione tocca il cuore dal profondo... Johann Sebastian ha questo potere divino di esprimere, tramite il solo linguaggio musicale, quei moti dell'anima che vengono assorbiti dalla presenza di Dio, per cui anche quelli che come me non capiscono nulla di lingua tedesca, basta che abbiano un'esperienza profonda con Gesù, all'ascolto di questa Musica si ritrovano a vivere una sorta di esperienza estatica. Quello che usa Bach è un linguaggio universale che travalica i luoghi, le culture e i tempi. È il linguaggio dell'Amore che si esprime in musica, la più alta e raffinata. Di conseguenza, secondo me, per interpretare un Autore unico come lui bisogna avere al contempo entrambi i doni che egli ha avuto in un modo unico e speciale: la perfezione tecnico-artistica e la sensibilità spirituale. Credo che la Bach Society sia composta da Maestri che possiedono entrambi questi doni. Diversamente non potrebbero interpretare una tale Musica in modo così toccante... Oltre che grandi musicisti sono anche anime di altissima sensibilità spirituale. Anzi, secondo me, è proprio quest'ultima che ha permesso a questi Maestri di raggiungere un tale livello di professionalità. Soltanto un grande amore può dare la forza e la tenacia di raggiungere tali livelli. Ringrazio il dolcissimo e vivificante Spirito di Gesù che in tempi così bui ancora suscita anime che egregiamente trasmettono speranza e amore 🙏💘🕊️

Jesus took the Twelve with Him and said them: "Look! We are going to Jerusalem and all that was written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be fulfilled.". But they didn't understand any of this and didn't understand what He had said. My Jesus, take me with Thee, I'm ready, I want to leave from here to go to Jerusalem, the place of Thy Passion. Lucky if I can understand for my comfort the meaning of this moment of suffering and death! My Jesus, take me with Thee and I will run because the flesh and the blood, like Thy Disciples, understand with difficulty what Thou have said. Flesh and blood are drown to the world and large crowds. They both wanted to build a fortress on Mount Tabor, when Thou transfigured. On the contrary on Golgotha, the place of suffering, they don't want to cast even a glance. Ah, crucify in me, in my corrupted chest first of all this world and its forbidden pleasures, so I'll perfectly understand Thy words and I'll go to Jerusalem full of joy. My supreme all, my eternal good improves my heart, transforms my soul: overthrows all that resists the renunciation of the soul! When I am mortified in spirit, take me with Thee in peace! Mortify us with Thy goodness, lift us up with Thy grace; eredicate in us the old men so that the new man may live happily already here on Earth and that his feelings, his desires and his thoughts are turned to Thee

[@toddh377]

the baritone soloist is fantastic

[@herrickinman9303]

You mean the bass singer? I can't find a part marked "baritone" in the score. Also, the soloist you refer to as a baritone is listed in the credits as "Christian Immler, bass," which is the part he sings.

[@tobiasstudtheol]

Christian Immler is a german baritone who worked with great musicians e.g. Jordi Savall and Sigiswald Kuijken.

[@schaulinmarkus6002]

Todd H: That's true. I would even say, that he is a new Fischer-Dieskau, so to speak.

You can hear him as a soloist alto in the SJP by Harnoncourt in 1985 (on YT) : he was 14 yo, and he's fantastic !

[@johnhudelson2652]

@@herrickinman9303 I believe in Bach's time men's modal voices (excluding countertenors and castrati) were divided only into tenor and bass. The baritone category separated from bass came along later.

Was interested in this piece as it was listed in wolffs book as one of the pieces that Bach used as an audition piece for the Leipzig position. He was paid 20 talers to perform two cantatas....this was one of them. Since teleman and graupner did not take the job, the committee decided to take a “mediocre “ musician. Even when Bach performed this piece, graupner had already been offered the job. Not known if this piece was written in Weimar or cothen or both. Bach is a true miracle of music.

[@denis.i.saveliev]

"Since teleman and graupner..." - Telemann and Graupner.

@@denis.i.saveliev Was probably not capitalized for emphasis, can be forgiven in this context

@@alexs7816 Graupner and even more so Telemann are masters of the highest level, deserving full respect, and it is unacceptable to write their names with a lowercase letter just to emphasize the superiority of another great master.

[@andersrhedin1877]

I don’t exactly know why but in all Bachs cantatas I always appreciate the counter tenor more than the other soloists no matter how good they perform.I think it’s because the voice has got such special mellow timbre.. it’s not possible to compare with the other voices..

I’m very happy for every upload of Bach sacred cantatas by the NBS. I can’t wait for all of them, BWV 1-200. Is there a plan for when this will be completed?

[@bach]

There's no end date known yet for the completion of Bach's cantatas. So far we have recorded just over a quarter of his cantatas. Since this is a time-consuming and expensive project to realise, we are also dependent of financial funding and gifts (read more on: allofbach.com/en/support-us/). But our intention is to finish this project!

[@GuntherDebymusique]

La Société Bach des Pays-Bas ((nl) Nederlandse Bachvereniging) est le plus ancien ensemble de musique baroque de ce pays. Il a été fondé en 1921 à Naarden pour interpréter la Passion selon saint Matthieu de Jean-Sébastien Bach chaque Vendredi saint, en l’ Église Saint-Vitus de Naarden, construite au xive siècle. Depuis 1921, six directeurs artistiques se sont succédé. L'actuel est le violoniste japonais Shunsuke Sato (en), nommé en 2018. Certaines années, l’interprétation de la Passion est dirigée par un chef invité. En 2023, l’ensemble se compose de trente quatre musiciens et artistes vocaux À la suite de la nomination de Jos van Veldhoven (de) au poste de directeur artistique, en 1983, il est décidé d’étendre le répertoire à d’autres œuvres de Jean-Sébastien, mais aussi à celles de ses fils et des autres compositeurs de musique baroque des xviie et xviiie siècle, dont certains sont encore célèbres de nos jours, tandis que d'autres sont tombés dans l'oubli. La réputation de l’ensemble ayant dépassé la frontière, une soixantaine de concerts sont organisés chaque année, aux Pays-Bas et à l'étranger. Ceux-ci attirent des milliers de spectateurs. L’année 2013 est particulièrement riche à double titre pour la Société Bach, qui lance deux projets importants: - d’une part, la création de la «Young Bach Fellowship», programme d'enseignement destiné aux jeunes artistes âgés de moins de dix-huit ans souhaitant se perfectionner dans l'interprétation de la musique baroque; - d’autre part, le lancement de «All of Bach» dans le cadre de la célébration du centenaire en 2021, dont le but est de réaliser des enregistrements vidéo des 1080 œuvres de J.S. Bach, lesquels seront mis en ligne gratuitement.

Original German Text English Translation 1. ARIOSO (Tenor, Baß); CHOR TENOR Jesus nahm zu sich die Zwölfe und sprach: BAß Sehet, wir gehn hinauf gen Jerusalem, und es wird alles vollendet werden, das geschrieben ist von des Menschen Sohn. CHOR Sie aber vernahmen der keines und wußten nicht, was das gesaget war. TENOR Jesus gathered the twelve and said: BASS Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all will be fulfilled which has been written of the Son of Man. CHOIR They however grasped nothing and did not comprehend what was being said. 2. ARIA (Alt) Mein Jesu, ziehe mich nach dir, ich bin bereit, ich will von hier und nach Jerusalem zu deinen Leiden gehn. Wohl mir, wenn ich die Wichtigkeit von dieser Leid- und Sterbenszeit zu meinem Troste kann durchgehends wohl verstehn! My Jesus, draw me with you, I am ready, I want to leave here and proceed to Jerusalem unto your passion. Well am I, when I can continually comprehend well the importance of this time of suffering and death as my comfort! 3. REZITATIV (Baß) Mein Jesu, ziehe mich, so werd ich laufen, denn Fleisch und Blut verstehet ganz und gar, nebst deinen Jüngern nicht, was das gesaget war. Es sehnt sich nach der Welt und nach dem größten Haufen; sie wollen beiderseits, wenn du verkläret bist, zwar eine feste Burg auf Tabors Berge bauen; hingegen Golgatha, so voller Leiden ist, in deiner Niedrigkeit mit keinem Auge schauen. Ach! kreuzige bei mir in der verderbten Brust zuvörderst diese Welt und die verbotne Lust, so werd ich, was du sagst, vollkommen wohl verstehen und nach Jerusalem mit tausend Freuden gehen. My Jesus, draw me, so will I run, that flesh and blood might wholly comprehend, even as your disciples did not, what was being said. They pined for the world and its vast accumulations; at your transfiguration they wanted, to erect a secure fortress on either side on Mount Tabor; in contrast to Golgotha so replete with sorrows where no eye would look upon your humiliation. Oh! crucify within me in my corrupt breast above all, this world and its forbidden desires then I will full well comprehend what you are saying and proceed to Jerusalem with thousand-fold joy. 4. ARIA (Tenor) Mein alles in allem, mein ewiges Gut, verbessre das Herze, verändre den Mut; schlag alles darnieder, was dieser Entsagung des Fleisches zuwider! Doch wenn ich nun geistlich ertötet da bin, so ziehe mich nach dir in Friede dahin! My all in all, my eternal good, advance the heart, alter courage; strike down anything contrary to this denial of the flesh! Indeed since here I now here am spiritually slain so draw me there to you in peace. 5. CHORAL Ertöt uns durch dein Güte, erweck uns durch dein Gnad; den alten Menschen kränke, daß der neu' leben mag wohl hie auf dieser Erden, den Sinn und all Begehren und G'danken hab'n zu dir. Slay us through your goodness, resurrect us through your grace; inflict ancient humanity that it may live anew well, here upon this earth, having purpose and all desires and thoughts in you.
