Hey! Subtitles! Finally I understand what are saying, thank you NBS

[@ellavoslinsky_flute]

Gorgeous music and a gorgeous voice! Bravi!!!

Amazing performance and very good interpretation. It's very refreshing to see it performed in such setting, preserving the qualities of the original piece, while adding the extra layer of relevance to the modern culture. Truth to be told, I feel that a lot of classical music goes unnoticed by people nowadays, simply because they think it is irrelevant due the archaic aesthetics surrounding it. Unfortunately, the comment section here is a really sad place. I just want to say something to all the people who have a "certain problem" with this performance: Have you even listened to/read the lyrics? None of you "own" Bach's music to have anything to say about misusing it. None of you knew Bach personally to make guesses on what he would say, yet some of you have the audacity to tarnish his name with their takes which hold no relevance to the era he lived in. If anything, a person who lived 300 years ago would probably be utterly confused by any political discourse from this day. Hell, my great grandmother was already super confused when she was over 80 years old. We don't live in XVIII's century, none of the possible political views of J.S. Bach would hold any relevance today, regardless if he was a homophobe by today's western standards or not. NBS chose to interpret the piece in a way they saw as fitting the culture we live in. I find it fitting, it resonates with me. But it's their interpretation and they are free to make it. They didn't claim Bach would agree with their take. You are free to listen to other interpretations or even make your own, if a sight of two men touching each other's hands makes you soooo mad.

I think that all these comments, as sad as they are, might show what Bach had in mind as he wrote "der Neid hat viele Stricke auf unser Tun gericht'." 😉

An adorable expression of Johann’s love for his beloved wife and of course indescribable pleasure for the listener’s ear 🎵🥰🎶

Beautiful singing with a magnificant performance 🌞🎼🌈

Das ist auch Bach! Was für einen vielseitigen und unvergleichlichen Komponisten!

Absolutely correct 🎵🙂🎶

Hi! How are You? Seoul has been a tropical night for a week. Summer is still in the middle of summer. I hope you stay healthy for the rest of the week. Thank you.

Lyrics: Soprano: Willst du dein Herz mir schenken, So fang es heimlich an, Dass unser beider Denken Niemand erraten kann. Die Liebe muss bei beiden Allzeit verschwiegen sein, Drum schließ die größten Freuden In deinem Herzen ein. Behutsam sei und schweige Und traue keiner Wand, Lieb' innerlich und zeige Dich außen unbekannt. Kein' Argwohn musst du geben, Verstellung nötig ist. Genug, dass du, mein Leben, Der Treu' versichert bist. Begehre keine Blicke Von meiner Liebe nicht, Der Neid hat viele Stricke Auf unser Tun gericht. Du musst die Brust verschließen, Halt deine Neigung ein. Die Lust, die wir genießen, Muss ein Geheimnis sein. Zu frei sein, sicher gehen, Hat oft Gefahr gebracht. Man muss sich wohl verstehen, Weil ein falsch Auge wacht. Du musst den Spruch bedenken, Den ich zuvor getan: Willst du dein Herz mir schenken, So fang es heimlich an.

Best, just marvelous is the Quodlibet with mentioning the journey to India with a „ Backtrog „ ( a baking trough)

[@Kalkipikaia]

Absolute delight!

[@genewood9062]

I see that the text is considered to be by "unknown". You could hardly think the composer of Bach's Cantatas would ever be able to sign "Sola Dei Gloria", to this! Maybe N.B.S. does not have to record absolutely every piece from the notebooks. Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ, the author of righteousness! :--}>

[@litoboy5]

cool

[@gardnerunderhill3661]

The two guys flirting at the end of the table was a cute touch. Beach’s music and it’s rendition was excellent as always.

[@tobiasstudtheol]

You should see them interact in the "Hochzeitsquodlibet" (link in the description box). It is too cute.

[@agnesgrey4799]

I agree completely 🎵🙂🎶

[@messerschmitt-bf1098]

Pero bach no hacía operas ni teatro no me gusta la dinámica en verdad discrepo esta ves

[@nullifiednullifidian5973]

Brilliant, excellent recording and sound production. Griet did a lovely job, and thank you Thomas for giving us a different perspective of the world. Forget the naysayers and their conformist demands.

[@thebones]

great performance but I'm not convinced by the production at all.

[@TheSoteriologist]

Postmodern decadence. Not with Bach, please !

[@agnesgrey4799]

@@TheSoteriologist don’t be narrow-minded. This is just another proof of Johann’s versatility 🎵🙂🎶

[@TheSoteriologist]

@@agnesgrey4799 You have lost the plot big time if you think that "narrow-minded" has anything to do with it.

No more LGBT engineering please. The musical performance (the lady's singing performance) is stunning nonetheless.

[@jeanpierrecarabas5508]

absolutely

[@Ziad3195]

Look, I dont disagree with homosexuality at all, but I don't feel like the decisions taken for this video fit the music at all or it's history at all. . Maybe for Bach, something more traditional fits better. The neon lights and the strong colours too are extremely out of place. Your videos always felt like a time capsule; where I can watch them and be taken on a journey to the 1700s. Where is the ornate Baroque ornamentation? Otherwise, I adore this channel. Let's not make this the new standard though.

[@lacrimis_solis]

first to comment, yay!

Why the woke setting? I don't want to see this... I guess J. S. Bach wouldn't either. I'm out of here...

[@mahmoudtarek9921]

You have lost your minds!!

[@61vladimira]

😁😚😂

[@lulublasz]

The NBS is a mind-opened group. But in this rendition the mind was so opened that the brain falled out.

[@PartySpock]

Ook al woke, vreselijk😜😜😜

[@christopherwaz6913]

Poor Bach, father of 20 and faithful husband, would puke and never come back. I would follow him if this should repeat.

[@ligetisspaghetti5763]

sounds like google translate issues

[@mallorga1965]

A world class performance with an unnecessary display of homosexuality. But you think it's so cool and arty to ad that show of progressivism...

Sergio, sweetie, you have a problem.

[@TheSoteriologist]

@@scheeny Yeah, and he's right because we don't want Bach misused for cultural marxism or _any_ political agenda for that manner.

[@scheeny]

@@TheSoteriologist To be clear, you object to Bach visual embellishments, or just the queer ones? “Marxism”? Oh yes, the right-wing, all-purpose pejorative.

[@archraskal]

@@TheSoteriologist Just for whom do you presume do you speak when using "we?" Were you asked to represent some group, or do you have multiple personality disorder?
