Bach: Meine Seel erhebt den Herren, BWV 10 (Ton Koopman, Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir)

[@andrewbrumana3226]

When I was in college, I sang in the chorus for a lecture concert conducted by Helmuth Rilling. We performed both this and its counterpart, Magnificat (BWV 243). Rilling had us sing the chorale version of the main tune, as it was sung in churches at his time (Meine seel erhebt den Herrn). Then he had us sing it in context with the opening of BWV 10. THEN, he had the soloists & orchestra perform the beginning of Suscepit Israel, from Magnificat. Knowing that melody well by then, it takes your breath away when you hear the oboe come in as the voices intertwine.

Ich finde es interessant zu beobachten, wie sich die Tempi der Kompositionen von Bach eigentlich aus der Geschwindigkeit der gesprochenen alltäglichen Sprache generieren. Je nach Gefühlslage mal freudig erregt oder schleppend langsam. Es gab damals keine Tempovorgaben, aber es ergibt sich von selbst aus dem alltäglichen sprechen...

As always, an amazing performance by Ton Koopman. Quite literally. Watch him carefully. When he enjoys a particular note, he will let you know by his head's emphasis. You will almost invariably discover a new pleasure in that note. The other reason I like him so much. He is the only conductor to make me think "he has the greatest job on earth. At his slightest direction, the most fabulous melody pours forth. He has the best seat in the house also. I want that job."

I love it when people catch stuff like that head thing.

[@OdinComposer]

I’ve never seen him before, but I instantly thought the same thing!

[@aluisfp]

Realmente, maravillosa Cantata. Genial interpretación.

[@geoffreyharrington8798]

This is the most amazing vocal performance, Deborah York is in complete command of her solo. Her love of the music is so impressive and the feeling, and control she brings is stunning. I saw this earlier today on EWTN. The other soloists are quite amazing as well and Koopman is so much fun to watch.

[@eric_just_that]

No has escuchado la version de Lisa Larson bajo la batuta de Gardiner entonces

[@JPGroen]

@@eric_just_that Waarom is het nodig nog weer een andere uitvoering te noemen? Waarom vergelijken? Is deze, met inderdaad een schitterende Deborah York, niet mooi genoeg van zichzelf?

[@RalphLooij]

@@JPGroen eens, we kunnen 100en uitvoeringen noemen, deze is uniek. Zeker dankzij een ijzersterke York!

[@JMVD48]

Wat een prachtige uitvoering onder leiding van dirigent en muzikant Ton Koopman met zijn dynamische uitstraling, kippenvel...

[@RebeccateVelde]

It is such a gift to have these stellar and moving performances available to us! I am so grateful.

[@edthoreum7625]

free! how lucky! best use of tech! viel danke to all!

[@RalphLooij]

I agree, it's a privilege!

[@albertvinyes4951]

Such a masterful rendition, so musical a phrasing, it is a complete joy. Thank you!!

[@rafikbaladi6555]

Gripping as always, Ton Koopman a passionate and articulate use of his soloists and orchestra to deliver Bach. Never a surprising or unpredicatable Ton Koopman and his soloists and orchestra are glorious

[@jeansauter5222]

Ich bleibe mich wiederholen, das ganze Konzert auch mit den zwei Magnificat's Kuhnau und JS Bach muß ein großes Erlebniss gewesen sein in der Thomaskirche. - Ik val in herhalingen, het volledige concert ook met de twee Magnificat's Kuhnau en JS Bach moet een groot belevenis zijn gewest in de Thomaskerk. Heb hun in 2000 in de Nikolaikerk mogen mee maken. - Gewoon heerlijk.

[@naess004]

I was there, it was bloody hot.

[@johnburke7383]

Perhaps Bach's greatest opening chorus of his cantatas.

[@habakkuk76]

Ein feste Burg No.80 is its equal for an opening movement of ultimate contrapuntal complexity, and of course there are others, eg Nun ist das Heil No. 50 for 8-pt chorus which is only the first and last movt.

[@fernandobarco413]

Listen to opening chorus of 79, 76, 31 y 62. Terrific chorus!!!

[@cantab345]

Quite.

[@MrUseur]

agreed

[@giovannicalorini7729]

This invigorates the human soul , is beyond description

[@MrUseur]

Der Eingangssatz......Geht es denn bitte schön irgendwo noch typischer für JS Bach zu als in diesem Paradebeispiel? Polyphone Musik in ihrer schönsten, ich sage atemberaubendsten Form. Danke lieber Gott dass du uns Menschen den Johann Sebastian Bach geschenkt hast. Und so tolle Musiker wie in dieser Aufführung.

So joyful, so animated, so lovely in all ways! Praise the Lord!

[@JPGroen]

I would say: praise Deborah York. And all the others for preparing the right circumstances for her to give such a wonderful performance.

[@edthoreum7625]

[@jsb7975]

Ton Koopman did not recieve any Dutch gouvernement subsidy because the Amsterdam barock choir and Orchestra wasn't 'diverse' enough. You might assume what kind of p.c. motivated board made that decision. (Maybe I'm not even allowed to mention this)

[@MrUseur]

Each government nowadays consists of idiots and criminals, sometimes more criminals than morons, somtimes the other way around.

[@EmFdtr]

I cannot believe what I'm reading! The only consolation is in knowing the criminal members of the dutch government will BURN IN HELL for insulting Tonus Fantasticus the way they have. Who are those bastards and what have they done for the world (and for the Netherlands) in comparison to Ton Koopman? Whose name shall be praised for centuries to come! These are dark ages for the enlightened ones.

[@papagenoharto]

i´ll never nderstand a negative comment in something composed by J. S Bach I think they´re absolutely insensitive people

[@ralfschaedlich1970]

Ein einziges Gehetze. Weiß schon, warum ich kein Koopmann-Freund bin. Da ziehe ich mir die Aufnahme von Hans-Joachim Rotzsch und dem Thomanerchor aber zehnmal vor!

[@JPGroen]

Aber jene Ausführung ist wirklich schlaferweckend. 100 Mal bevorzuge ich Deborah York...

[@flemmingranch8777]

Rigtig smukt stykke musik fyldt af følelser.

[@millertj27]

Koopman is spelled with one "m".

[@Euroarts]

Thank you for your comment, we have already corrected the error :)

[@jackkenefick2696]

My seal ate the herrin... sorry

[@ab-il1gk]

too quick

[@Timrath]

I see you know nothing of baroque music. Go read some 18th century treatises, then come back and try again.

[@TrinkBruder]

Whadaya no, not diverse to understand the text well enough like Nicki Minaj. Claiming to be a queen, wearing a tiara in public, I am embarrassed for Tricky Nicki. The Theotokos knew her miserable state before she received any views on Utube
