[@ingmarbergmanofficial]

Thank you for this great performance!

[@JannaWilliamson]

When will the other parts be posted?

[@federicodivincanza]

Are you going to record a complete version of the christmas oratorio? You guys are literally the best ensemble in the world for playing Bach.

[@bach]

Thanks! And yes, we recorded cantata 1-3 last year and will record 4-6 next year

[@joshuamarthand2006]

I remember seeing a recording of the christmas oratorio from you, but I cant find it now when I search it up@@bach

[@wuillymay8815]

No, they're not. They're one of the best.

[@randomobserver683]

Agree, BNS are the best performers of Bach I've come across

[@mariosergioribeiro3522]

I wouldn't know about "literally"..., but musically...for sure😊

[@thomaspatrick1582]

Listening from Tanzania 🇹🇿 Bach my favorite composer the GOAT, Netherlands Bach Society, you're the best🎉

[@danieltietz1007]

Of course, Shunske Sato is an amazing violinist. But I’m totally taken with his beautiful, bright, wide open, and joyful direction here. You can see that he and the musicians are utterly connected. Stunning and inspired all around!

[@chrisconolly4256]

Thank you. I could not live without a regular dose of NBS Bach. Best thing on KZbin.

[@mariajosealvarez1180]

Yo tampoco podría vivir sin mi dosis de Bach.

[@horacap]

It happens the same to me !!!! Greetings from Uruguay!

[@annemarie9602]

I am living in the Netherlands and I am able to attend all the beautiful concerts of the Nederlandse Bachvereniging. Lucky me!

[@ricpech]

How wonderful for you!! I am so jealous of you...the good kind.. 😊 continue to enjoy this sublime music. Some day I hope to too in person.

[@Aucelons]

How truly blessed you are!

[@Coop-Greavesie]

Thank you God for Bach. Thank you God for people like these who have devoted their lives to performing Bach. Our lives are simply better for both.

[@coopersmom8339]

What a wonderful performance! I love Netherlands Bach Society. You guys are the best. Life became so much fuller with you guys. Thank you and happy holidays and wish everyone healthy and happy and prosperous year of 2024!

[@Contextcatcher]

Goosebumps. Brilliant is an understatement. Especially 19:35 Großer Herr, o starker König. How trumpets interact with the violins... and his impressive voice. WOW! Never heard this so beautiful! Many many thanks! 🙏

[@artem.non.odit.nisi.ignarus]

Great performance, habe es selten so gut gehört. Was für ein überragender Bass in einem großartigen Ensemble, super geleitet von Sato.

[@ricpech]

Agreed!!! 🎺📯

[@lucadeieso4815]

Bach is surely smiling in Heaven listening to this exhilarating performance

[@herbertneubacher4757]

Heaven meets Earth. This is like never heard before. I am completely stunned. It made me cry tears of joy. Sato is a. pure Magician. More please for a real Merry Christmas 🎄. Thank you all. You opened Heaven for us!

[@bernardfaivre9229]

Que c’est beau, quel enthousiasme des musiciens. 👏 Sublime interprétation ❤️

[@thegolgatha5337]

The NBS is simply State-of-the-Art. Wonderful.

[@Skan64530]

Bach is no doubt listening and present, adding to the awe of this transcendent performance. How wonderful that his memory lives on and is celebrated with enduring passion.

[@carlossotorosas1007]

I can't stand this giant Beauty... i'm crying naw🙏😱🙏,.. celestial experience 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Dom2Wan]

Clarity, lightness, body. The listener never fears for the performers and the work is uplifted for it. A half century of scholarship and instrumental development over the best efforts of the 1970s is so clearly heard here. The engineering is invisibly at the service of a recording for the ages.

[@dschonnie]

Pure joy! Van ❤ bedankt - for all of these wonderful experiences through the years! 🥹

[@bfjones1198]

The GOAT Bach Tenor🔥

[@ariadne4720]

Everyone on this recording is superb, but I have to say Ulrike Malotta is truly exceptional in "Bereite dich, Zion". The best rendition of this aria I have ever heard. It gives me chills.

[@花-g8u1q]

素晴らしい歌&演奏をありがとうございます!みなさんの表情、笑顔も素敵で贅沢な音のハーモニーですね！

[@dellnie345]

Daniel Johannsen superb evangelist! And precise trumpets, even those are very difficult to play.

[@eadghe]

This has become a yearly ritual for me. Thanks for uploading this uplifting and beautiful work of Bach! This is how Christmas should actually feel like, when someone walks through the city, at least for adults. I guess it's too complicated for most kids and teenagers, but boy this fills me with joy, in an age where presents and such don't have such impact anymore.

[@Tom-nv2jb]

I can assure you that even though I'm a teenager, I feel transcended the same way, if not more 😅. I don't think that this a matter of age. As well as it is not a matter of religion...

[@НатальяЧеркасова-г8ъ]

Acho que todas a obras de Bach antes de começar, era precedida por oração e todas DEUS o abençoava. Amem.

[@Damian_FB]

What a wonderful, uplifting performance of this masterwork! It has been a favourite of mine for the last 47 years, and I've enjoyed listening to many versions over that time. This offering ranks amongst the top for its spirit and musicality. It's great to have the English subtitles for the libretto, as well. I look forward to hearing the remaining five cantatas from the Netherlands Bach Society.

[@meijong6453]

Terrible éclat de joie et d’émotion! Quelle musicalité, quelles voix, et ces visages si radieux…. Merci infiniment 🧡

[@evanofelipe]

There is Joy in this music. The players and chorus alike are so enjoying each other’s performances. We see it and we feel it, even via KZbin. To have actually been present when this was music being created would have been ‘a never to be forgotten’ experience of a life time. Such is the power of Bach 290 years later. Praise be to God amidst the horrendous acts of violence unfolding each and every day.

[@edelahaye]

Mr Sato's smile is priceless ! We can feel the joy through the music. It's wonderful. Thanks for this gift ! Bach forever !

[@hrvojeradonic9960]

To have the level of dedication and discipline and still to hold such observable joy, Sato is a remarkable human.

[@amacater]

Glorious :) Also - many thanks for well translated and explained subtitles that help those of us that don't understand German well.

[@Tianula]

What a great performance of this masterpiece. The music, the voices, the whole atmosphere. It’s just perfect. And I especially love this beautiful alto voice with its warm timbre ♥️ Thank you for this Christmas present 2023! Merry Christmas everyone 🎄

[@lucillatempella5009]

Thank you. I was just waiting for this to be my new favourite version of Christmas oratorio. Now i’m fully happy :)

[@BeateHolscher-e7n]

This performance blows the mind clean of all earthly clutter!!! Must be the best performance of NBS that I have seen so far! Bach in Heaven was tapping his foot to this. In my next life I will sing with the NBS, for now I can listen. Thanks for making such music, we need it desperately to soothe our sick world.

[@984guyguy]

Bellissimo e spettacolare ! superBravo !!!

Helm's ornaments in "Großer Herr," are so precisely executed that it reminds me of a figure skater entering a triple axel jump and then landing it with the greatest of ease.... absolutely inspiring.

Wundervolle Aufführung ! Bach ist wie Heimkommen ! Vielen Dank !

[@OpusDogi]

I was wondering if your smaller-chorus format would have the required impact for the opening chorus of the Oratorio. Well... absolutely you do! The articulation, colour and full-sound are just great. I've listened to many Christmas Oratorios and this is the best one I've heard.

[@jamescottone9882]

Incredible! Wonderful soloists!

Thank you! Great musicality and sound of the whole ensemble. Wonderful soloists and I love to hear Ulrike Malottas gorgeous voice and phrasing in your recording.

[@porcinet1968]

i've probably said this before but for me these performances are near-definitive for most of the works I have encountered on this wonderful channel - some of the singers are just utterly perfect Bachians.Matthias Helm does wonderful things in Grosser Herr (and has a most unusual articulated trill technique I actually really love)

[@markgeelen5207]

This was recorded in a very nice xmassy atmosphere and in the breaks there were chocolates and goodies. A very nice experience 😊. To me the recording does sound somewhat artificial compared to other AOB releases but I am very happy this got documented. 😊

[@smuecke]

De Nederlanders stellen nooit teleur!

[@WorstSanta]

Top performance but key me emphasize the recording quality, it’s just amazing.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Wonderful, but still only the first part of this oratorium. There are six parts in this. But regarding this first part, I have to say mr Sato and NBS are splendid in singing and playing this the best way.

[@bach]

I understand the difficulty of patience :) The other parts will definitely follow in the coming years. Bach composed the different parts of the Christmas oratorio for different days. This has made us decide to publish the movements separately. That way you will hear each part fresh again.

[@Tokkemon]

Really nice to see Sato actually conducting now. Really good performance too.

[@pringr]

Wonderful! I sang this on Saturday but nowhere near as beautifully!

[@gonzalogonzalo4345]

[@francoisbugaud5181]

D’habitude, j’ose le dire, cet oratorio m’ennuie et j’évite d’entendre une vieille routine du pourtant immentissime JS.Bach. Là, miracle, un oratorio vif, fringant, une interprétation d’un collectif exceptionnel où la connivence est palpable ! Ouf! L’oratorio sort de son long hiver. Merci Nederlands Bach Society !

I was just thinking about this piece last week! I love how I can feel the energy from the opening descending scale. Thank you for another excellent recording. By preserving Bach's music, you preserve his legacy. (PS: any chance of recording BWV 246? It's one of my favorites...)

[@williamthomas7657]

I don't think the'll do it, because it's not from Bach ;-)

[@ariadne4720]

@@williamthomas7657 actually the NBS has already recorded several pieces with BWV numbers but are doubtfully Bach. In this case, the text survives but Bach's music doesn't, so it would be a reconstruction. Not sure about this one.

[@williamthomas7657]

@@ariadne4720 BWV 246 (Lukas-Passion) was without doubt arranged and performed by Bach, but not originally composed by him. BWV 247 (Markus-Passion) however was composed by Bach, but only the Libretto survived; the music can be reconstructed partially.

[@bach]

Thanks! Indeed, we sometimes include works with uncertain attribution or works that have a relationship with Bach if they have a place in one of our concert programmes. Still, for our recording project we focus mainly on the 'real' works. BWV 246 is not yet scheduled for the time being, although it certainly would be interesting
