Bach - Es ist vollbracht from St John Passion BWV 245 | Netherlands Bach Society

The aria 'Es ist vollbracht' from St John Passion, performed by the Nederlands Bach Society for All of Bach. The St John Passion was the first Passion Bach had written as cantor in Leipzig. The Passion story as told in the Gospel of John is different from that told by the other three evangelists - Matthew, Luke and Mark. John’s version places the emphasis on Christ’s divine origin. Throughout his suffering, this divine origin still plays a role and nowhere is Jesus as human as in the other gospels.
For this performance, we selected a cast of singers under the age of 35. Apart from the leaders, all the orchestra members are also younger than 35. The concert series was preceded by a course of auditions and masterclasses.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on March 11th 2017 at the Grote Kerk, Naarden. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

My favorite Aria in Johhanes pässion! It's so emotionally touching me sometimes I almost cried in this Aria.

[@haslanidesabbas5399]

Hmmm, i cry almost every time...

[@askim925]

I listened to many versions of this aria and I finally found that this viola da gamba player is outstanding and has a lot of emotion on her playing.

[@jaikee9477]

Totally agree!

It would be really nice if they credited her, but no - as usual, they only mention the names of the singers. 🙄 🙄 🙄

Look at his face 00:06 as he sits down knowing what has arrived and look in her eyes 00:33 before she starts singing. These young musicians are living it! This is precious! Tausend Dank, NBS, und alles liebe from the German neighbourhood.

[@pbasswil]

That's what's so special about this ensemble: The care and dedication to the music. The highest level of craft & mastery are not even to be mentioned, they're so beyond question. It's the _musical reverence_ that communicates so powerfully.

[@johnstaf]

I was going to post about her eyes at that spot as well. Her expression reminds me of a painting from Bach's time.

[@pbasswil]

It's great that they're totally & visibly invested in the music. But honestly, I wouldn't care if they were winking at each other and smirking. :^> It's the performance - the _sound_ they're generating that's awesome to me. This is world class. And I love the period instruments and appropriate stylistic conventions, especially the sparsity of vibrato (especially the strings, though less so in the singers). Huge shout out to the recording engineers, too. Perfection.

[@LuluTravelVideos]

@@pbasswil the feeling is converted to sound if you are good enough which they are so it definitely matters, if they were smiling and smirking it might not sound as sad as it should

[@pbasswil]

@@LuluTravelVideos "smiling and smirking" You took me literally, I was painting an exaggerated picture to make my point: It's the sound that matters to me. Have you ever watched a performer whose movements or demeanor are distracting? When that occasionally happens, I just close my eyes.

[@wolkowy1]

There is something in this aria which could be mistaken to belong to the Romantic-era and not to the Baroque. Or, better: Bach's music in beyond definitions of musical-periods, and this most beautiful performance does justice to the lyrics and to the music as well. Bravi! Thanks NBS!

[@jaikee9477]

Truly beyond definitions. When Brahms famously said "Study Bach! There you will find everything!" he literally meant everything.

[@Funkywallot]

Bla bla bla. Old man

[@SilentLobster]

​@@Funkywallot Wow what a meaningless response

[@apenasimagens]

I like her acting. Not sure how important it is in music. Maybe for the experts only sound matters. But I like how she changes her mood while singing "Held aus Juda siegt mit Macht und schließt den Kampf." [Hero of Judah triumphs with power and closes the fight] and them switches back to reality with a deep lament "Es ist Vollbracht" [it is finishe].

[@Jacob.Soulliere]

This is the best recording. So much emotion.

[@johnheart6890]

Slight shades of Albinoni’s famous adagio here, to me at least. I just heard this piece for the first time, right now, and I love it!!!!

[@SVETLANKA139]

Для меня тоже.

[@petrouchka2011]

I learned that this gave the inspiration to the theme of the Klagender Gesang of Op. 110 by Beethoven. One masterpiece laid the basis for another.

[@sanderspoelstra8072]

Indeed. I noticed it is also a thema in the first movement of the op. 69 cello sonata.

[@thomasjohn5037]

Thank god. I was wondering why no one was mentioning this. When I heard the development of the 1st mvt of op. 69 it immediately recognized this theme. But I didn't realize that the op. 110 klagender gesang theme was this same theme until you said it.

[@sanderspoelstra8072]

@@thomasjohn5037 it is beautifully developed in the cello sonata.. Knowing where the theme came from and how Beethoven later uses it in the piano sonata makes it an even more profound experience to hear it get through so much darkness with the cello.. I wonder if it appears anywhere else

[@thomasjohn5037]

@@sanderspoelstra8072 I fully agree with you

[@Jacob.Soulliere]

Would’ve loved to have been there for this. So connected to the audience. So moving

[@vaughangarrick]

Sublime

[@RudinPetrossian-Byrne]

Can someone explain the meaning of the upbeat segment that starts at 3:51 ? It seems a bit off compared to the rest of the theme, which I guess is Mary mourning over the death of Christ.

[@reecec2908]

I love the final Allegro part of it. It's so inspiring!

[@simonzollinger880]

Au tout début de cet extrait, l’image reste figée quelques secondes sur la basse, celui qui chante Jésus. Le nom de cet Aria « es ist vollbracht » est tiré de l’évangile selon Saint Jean (le verset 19 du chapitre 30) qui dit : « Quand Jésus eut pris le vinaigre, il dit : Tout est accompli. Et, baissant la tête, il rendit l'esprit. » Ce début de vidéo ne résulterait-il d’une genre de scénographie, un peu comme les drames liturgiques au Moyen Âge (la basse qui joue Jesus, comme ds l’Ecriture, « baisse la tête » et ensuite, l’alto chante « tout est accompli »). Je n’arrive pas à savoir si j’interprète trop ou si la NBS sont vraiment des génies en tous points. Quoi qu’il en soit, l’interprétation est prodigieuse, irréprochable et plaindr d’émotions, merci !

[@321Lopper]

The viola da gamba theme is directly cited by Beethoven in his penultimate piano sonata opus 110 (“Klagender Gesang”).

[@maltezeller9223]

as well as in the 3rd cello sonata
