Bach - Cantata Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland BWV 62 - Van Veldhoven | Netherlands Bach Society

Bach orchestrated the enthusiastic and expectant opening of cantata 'Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland', performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, quite modestly. For Lutherans, the festive start to the liturgical year on the first Sunday of Advent had a hopeful character. After all, it was almost Christmas time. But this Sunday also heralded a period of austerity and reflection, which lasted until Christmas Day.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on November 30th 2013 at the Walloon Church, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/3J5uprM.

Jos Van Veldhoven is probably my favorite contemporary director of Bach’s choral music. His direction is expressive, clear, and tru to the intention of the music. Watching him conduct, or watching him in rehearsal, his depth of knowledge and joy in the music is palpable. His work with soloists and ensemble allow them to deliver peak performances; his readings are neither florid nor dry. A wonderful performance of this famous cantata. The excellent videography adds an additional depth to the performance. Thank you to All of Bach for preserving and presenting these performances!

Meine absolute Lieblingskantate ❤❤. Meine Eltern hatten vor etwas mehr als 40 Jahren diese Kantate in Zwickau mitgesungen. So kam ich im Alter von 6 Jahren dazu, Bach und dessen Musik lieben und schätzen zu lernen. Es existiert dazu noch eine originale Tonband/Kassettenaufnahme 😊. Ich habe sie geliebt und gefühlt tausend Mal abgespielt. So konnte ich besser einschlafen. Danke ❤ für die wunderbare Interpretation. ❤❤❤ Liebe Grüße

[@andreawallenberger2668]

It's been my experience and it is clear here as well that alternating/mixing up the chorus voice parts (a Bass next to a Soprano next to a Tenor next to an Alto instead of all Tenors together etc) in a high caliber chorus almost automatically makes mini-soloists out of everyone, in a very good way. You can only "hear" yourself and you are almost forced (again, in a good way!) to musically interact with other individual voices next to you, which is what the primary soloists are doing. It may seem like a small "arrangement" thing but it is so much fun to sing this way and produces, well... magic. Beautiful thank you, bravi tutti!

Ich kannte die Nr. 62 nicht so gut wie die Nr. 61, die eine Zeitlang jeden Advent immer in der Nachbarkirche von uns aufgeführt worden ist und die ich auch schon woanders mit musiziert habe. Vorhin lief Nr. 62 im Radio, aber ein Telefonanruf über etwas ganz Anderes lenkte mich ab, und schon war es passiert. Nur noch den Schlusschoral habe ich hören können. Da habe ich hier geguckt, um die Kantate doch noch zu hören. Herzlichen, vielen Dank!

NBS, I love so much your performances and for a better experience I think would be a great idea to let your interpretations be posted in Spotify or related apps!

[@bach]

Thank you for your kind comment. With regard to your question: we do not offer our recordings via audio streaming services. The main idea behind the All of Bach project was to create an online streaming platform for video and audio combined. Most of the recordings are live registrations of concerts of the Netherlands Bach Society and we believe that the video images add an extra experience: as if you were present at the concert. That information will be lost if you separate the audio from the images. However, for audio quality reasons, we understand the desire to listen to our recordings via high quality audio streaming services. Therefore we are currently looking into the possibilities to distribute our recordings via such platforms. But, at least for this moment, we have not yet decided whether we will indeed offer this service in the future.

[@alexhb12333]

@@bach To add to this, I agree high-fidelity streaming would do the musicians and your excellent sound mastering a service. There is also the risk of KZbin randomly taking down channels and deleting accounts, it has happened. It is worth consideration to avoid single-source problems, especially when KZbin is 17 years old and Bach is timeless! Thank you for your work, this music is therapy for the soul.

Why is there both a continuo organ and the big organ in this performance? Thanks.

[@bach]

This is a recording from the early days of All of Bach. At that time we still sometimes worked with two organs, to ensure good contact between the continuo organist and the rest of the continuo instruments (cello, double bass, bassoon) and the ensemble. Later we mostly started working only with the large organ when it was there at a location and in suitable key.
