Bach - Sinfonia from Cantata BWV 29 | Netherlands Bach Society

[@jmcallion2071]

Laus Deo! Happy and a Glorious Easter to all in the light of the Risen Christ!!❤

[@pepehaydn7039]

That sounds very Catholic or Orthodox. Actually, if you are a good lutheran or calvinist, you must say: "Glorious Easter to ALL of you who are predestinated"... Augustinians and protestants in general are not very coherent when it comes to Christmas or to Holy Week-Passah.

[@roberkonstig]

In my humble opinion, the best composer ever.

[@francoiserichard9797]

In agreement A Hundred Percent

[@dannyevans89]

Imagine going to church on a Sunday and you hear this music from the organ loft, probably composed just two days back by the church musician!

[@igordrm]

I would have felt inclined to convert. Church owes music a lot of its power, for sure.

[@johngrout6039]

This cantata was written for a civic ceremony at the Nikolaikirche... the installation of the Leipzig Town Council in 1731. Bach reused the music many times, just as he reused a violin partita for this Sinfonia, but this cantata was not written for Sunday worship.

[@PEPEDEBARRO]

It would be like attending a miracle

[@arminspapierkorb2623]

The Premiere of this was performed at 27. August 1731, it was a Monday ;)

So true, fantastic.

[@altruisticphilanthropic4647]

No matter how many times you may have heard this piece before (this Sinfonia version, the 3rd violin Partita, keyboard arrangements, etc.) it still brings smiles and thrills to the listener. Every other composer on this orb must acknowledge the genius of J.S. Bach when they hear this. In only a few minutes, the "old wig" has pretty much said it all...with glee, fire, pathos, tension/release, and purtnear runaway ecstasy. He must have smiled when he put his quill down after writing this; "Hmmm, not bad at'all. Now, let us hear your piece, Gerhard...we'll compare." Uhhh, no thanks, Johann...you win...every dang time. The greatest hath spoken. // NBS, never cease...ever.

Thank you Wendy Carlos for guiding me to this legendary piece

[@tuppyglossop222]

Does anyone remember the 1970’s Moog synthesiser version of this on “Swiched on Bach” by Walter Carlos (as was). It was how I discovered Bach for which I am eternally grateful. .

[@jean-ericguindon1853]

Indeed !

[@brucekuehn4031]

Oh yes, made Bach cool again. I remember it well. He (at that time, before becoming Wendy Carlos) kept true to the original music while bringing the brand new sound of synthesizer to the pop culture. There we were, high school kids, turned on by JS Bach.

[@motherlandbot6837]

Actually, "Switched on Bach" was released in early 1969. I was a final year university undergraduate student at the time. The original album cover showed a fully bewigged "J S Bach" glowering ferociously at the viewer as he sat before a Moog Synthesizer; this was altered to a much more benign presence in the subsequent album releases. Bach transcribed this music for the Preludio of his Partita #3 in E Major for unaccompanied violin (BWV 1006). Leopold Stokowski attempted to popularize this and several other J S Bach selections/excerpts with highly romanticized orchestral transcriptions, including the Chaconne from Partita #2 in D Minor for unaccompanied violin (BWV 1004), the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (BWV 565), Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor (BWV 582), and "Komm, susser Tod" (BWV 478), decades before the release of "Switched on Bach".

[@danshorb7719]

Yup! Still have the album.

[@charlesaay110]

I was in 11th grade in 1970, very familiar (or so I thought) with Bach, when the original Switched On Bach was released, and Sinfonia to Cantata 29 was the the first cut on the first side of the album. I literally wore smooth that entire album, and listen to Cut1Side1 500 times. I was obsessed with this magnificent Back piece. 50 years later, I am still obsessed with everything Bach. I love this song here with the period correct horns, brass and woodwind (double reed). I still stand in awe of this otherworldly music.

[@Caroline1261]

Best performance of this piece ever. Bach, what an amazing composer! I've been listening to this piece for years and it still gives me goose bumps! Vive Jean Sebastien Bach!

[@dustinlaferney3160]

The parishioners at Thomas Kirche in Bach's day were so blessed to have music like this in their worship services. I couldn't imagine hearing music like this performed in church today. We have fallen a long way.

[@DoctorDewgong]

You're in luck! A lot of churches have music like this. Find a Catholic Latin Mass at a church near you and you will find what you seek

[@johngrout6039]

This cantata was written for a festive celebration at the Nikolaikirche... the installation of the Leipzig Town Council in 1731. Music from it was undoubtedly performed at the Thomanerkirche, but not this particular work.

[@tomfilipiak690]

A thought. I marvel every time I hear music like this from the past centuries before music was so readily available. People must have left the concert hall or church in tears from the beauty of hearing, not only live music, but well written and well performed music. The genius of Bach available anywhere at the touch of a button. Amazing.

[@stufarnham]

This is a wonderful performance of a favorite piece. Leo Van Doesselar is superb, and the interplay between the organ and ensemble is spot on. For those who enjoy this sinfonia I also recommend Andre Isoir’s performance (I don’t have the reference handy). Thanks to the NBS, Leo Van Dosselar, and Jos Van Velderhoven, whose directing of Bach is insightful and impeccable.

[@MiScusi69]

This is really one of the best works ever written in music history. The interpretation is also the best I've ever listened to. 👏👏👏

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

Personally, I'm kind of partial to the Wendy Carlos performance; granted, it's a bit unorthodox, but I really like it. Not that this one isn't good too, and it's always nice to hear different performances of the same piece; a large part of the reason I like the Carlos performance is precisely because it's so different from traditional renditions like this one; and yet the underlying music is the same. (Also, I'm a sucker for fast tempo; and Carlos gets the whole thing into three and a half minutes.)

[@espressonoob]

@@jonadabtheunsightly it's not even comparable though? literally synthesized noise that doesn't have any feeling in it lol

[@MiScusi69]

@@jonadabtheunsightly I still prefer the classic, acoustic interpreration, but it's a new way to hear Bach the Wandy Carlos' perfornance

[@aholjevac-ansari]

@@espressonoob The version from Switched-on-Bach 2000 is sublime! Sure, it's played on synthesizers, but an instrument is only as good as the musician playing it, and Wendy Carlos is a true musician. In addition to her performance, she also painstakingly created each instrument. So, in my opinion, just as beautiful as this version, but different - and that's good!

If there is perfection in music, this piece is about the closest thing to it.

[@WouterTukker]

Simply fabulous, even if it were just for the amazing synchronicity between orchestra and organist ... And all of that at the metrical distance such as in and with the hall such as that of the enormous St. Martini Church in Groningen (NL) which I happened to visit so often as a student: CHAPEAU !!! ... and how clever of Leo to play all of it on the Rückpositiv (which is the lower part of the organ protruding into the church and thus is located most closely to the other musicians) because that way the organ functions like a one-manual chest-organ such as those used in most renditions of Bach´s Cantatas ... In my humble opinion though, Leo could also have pulled a few reed stops, it would not have hurt ;-)
