In spite of the hardships, challenges, bitterness, trials and suffering of many in the 17th and 18th Centuries, Bach offered a glorious glimpse into Heaven on so many occasions which thrill us over three hundred years later. Given the insanity, pathetic mediocrity and overt silliness in which we find ourselves in the 21st Century, we can find a respite for our weary souls and minds through Bach and be uplifted with the glorious hope of eternity with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am absolutely convinced that Bach's works will be part of the heavenly repertoire for eternity.

My wife and I will never forget our beloved high school chem teacher, Preston Q. Boomer, who taught us to love Baroque music. He built his own very impressive 2500 pipe organ with a "chapel" to put it in, on his property. He would play Purcell's Trumpet Voluntary while we brass musicians from high school band would accompany him. We'll never forget that experience up at his place in the mountains of Bonny Doon, CA back in the early '60's. Decade after decade Preston would invite his students up for concerts and parties. Wonderful guy.

I discovered this great work during Holy Week and Easter of 1960 when I was in the military stationed at Fort Lewis, WA. When I was separated and returned home to Maryland that June, one of the first things I did was go to a music store and get an LP of the work. The cover had both the German and an English translation. Sadly, I let that LP get away from me over the years. But I love the work, especially the chorus "Kommt, eilet und laufet:" where Mary Magdalene and another Mary go to Jesus' tomb only to find it empty. And they run to Peter and the other disciples. Praise be to God and God's son, Jesus our Savior.

Die alte Traversfloete hat interessanterweise klanglich mit der Blockflöte noch mehr Ähnlichkeit als mit der modernen Querflöte, was wohl am Material liegt. Travers- und Blockflöte sind eben noch echte Holz-Blasinstrumente. Auch die hier eingesetzten alten Oboen klingen sanfter als die modernen. Musiziert wurde sehr ausdrucksvoll.

Mit relativ kleiner Besetzung ....welch eine Kraft in dieser Musik ! Unglaublich, wie eine einzige Person solches erschaffen konnte...er musste Gott gesegnet sein

Dificult to think a most perfect performance. The "Voice of God" (Bach in words of Wynton Marsalis) is very well represented by this incredible musicians and his genius director. Thanks and congratulations from Argentina.

Une interprétation *brillante* par des instrumentistes de talent et des chanteurs animés d'enthousiasme autant que de sensibilité. Un grand bravo !

Sehr schöne und auch meditative S Shimponie

CAPTIVATING & PRISTINE PERFORMANCE! The video and sound are top quality. There is great musicianship wealth here: The prelude with the trumpets and orchestra gives the solemn aspect, the succession of upward and downward phrasing in the music is so moving, a contrast of texture, pace, volume, sparkle & pristine soloist voices, instrumental palette, rich melodic resonance, the chemistry between the performers and the director was excellent, both subordinating themselves to the music. The closing of the Oratorio in 'Preis und Dank with the Choir, trumpets, wind instruments and orchestra gives a GLORIOUS conclusion!

A couple thoughts. First, it is very clear to me that this wondrous process of recording all the works of Bach is so much more than performance. I love watching the performers, because I believe what is evident is their very "tasting" of all they are encountering in this wondrous music (including the texts, of course). Second, and I realize this is a very personal perspective, but as a Christian and a Lutheran, it thrills me to know that in all Bach's works, especially those given to sacred proclamation, there is a heart beating in the composer who wanted his hearers to know the pulsing reality of God come in the flesh. May I say, I pray that for all these marvelous musicians and all who hear them. Blessed Easter!

Easter Day, the NBS conducted by Van H, and the Easter Oratorio by Bach - it doesn't get any better than this. One keeps coming back to this particular performance. So fitting; so uplifting; the world renews itself (one can hope).

Superb performance, yet again. Once again, it adds to the pleasure of listening to be able to hear the different parts, vocal and orchestral, so clearly. Finally, the measured tempo for Sanfte soll mein Todeskummer was spot on. (Albert Schweitzer called this aria something like 'eternity represented like a field of corn waving in the breeze').

Eine wunderschöne, die Seele und das Herz bereichernde Aufnahme. Danke für dieses Geschenk, das mich heute - am Karfreitag 2020 - und an den folgenden Tagen begleiten wird. chorbassist

Fantastisch, wunderbare Auffühung. Barocktrompeten sind die absolute Krönung.

Another splendid performance by the Netherland Bach Society. This Easter Oratorio is an austere and solemn piece that opens and closes with bright, trumpet led orchestra and chorus. Nice recording and video.

I have been reading a bio of the life of Bach today and to then tune in to one of his many great works is sublime. It is incredible that we can still enjoy the blessings of this modest genius around 300 years later. This Society is to be commended for their faithfulness to his works and maintaining the high standards required by the respective compositions. Ernie Marshall

Just possibly the best thing on KZbin.

[@alfredgoossens2910]

Is that Rob Burns from "down Under:"? Very much agree, but also listen to their Matthews Passion. It is absolutely fabulous !

[@rajawillem8824]

Agree with this comment

[@robertburns576]

@@alfredgoossens2910 Ha, my wife was born in Sydney but I've never been to Australia. And yes, their St. Matthew's Passion is wonderful.
