i very seldom leave comments, but I just can't help admitting that to the (rather dull) question "What would you bring to a deserted Island?", my ultimate answer would be "All the recordings of the Netherlands Bach Society", plus my mp3 player and a solar charger. You folks ROCK! - and this is from someone who used to be a fan of heavy metal in his youth... Musical taste changes over time, I guess. Beside my absolute admiration on the divine performances, i must say: whoever is your sound engineer, must worth his salt. The quality of your recordings is topnotch - that is fairly obvious even coming through my crappy headphones. Who is this guy??? (or lady - argh, these days I must quickly add.). Anyways, I am pretty sure Master Bach would be at awe himself listening to his music, and would probably say "Das ist ein wunderbares Musikstück. Habe ich das wirklich geschrieben?...." Blessings from Budapest!!

She was memorizing one of the soprano parts. She also played the vinyl which I heard as my first music memory. I used to listen to Gregorian Chant the night before exams in College. The soloists in this recording video are blessed with beautiful clear voices - no wild vibratos that average out just below the correct pitch that I have heard elsewhere . Thank you!!!

The Bach Magnificat was the first choral piece I performed as a college freshman, and it was the first Bach choral work I ever performed (I was concurrently working on his prelude and fugue in B-flat minor from the WTC I). Anyway, the night of the concert, my 18-year-old self got to the concert hall only to realize I had left my Magnificat score in the school cafeteria, which was locked. I told the director my dilemma, to which he said, "Oh no!" and walked away. Somehow I sang that entire work from memory that night, 19 years later, I still have many of those melismas memorized. So glad to have found this ensemble. Happy Advent '22, cheers from Memphis, TN!

What a paradox: in Bach's time people lived short lives in uncomfortable circonstances, in constant fear of disease and death. And yet such optimistic and joyfull music as this was the standard.

It didn't matter that it was uncomfortable circumstances in constant fear of disease and death, which incidentally were less pronounced than Bach's even older ancestors, or all of humanity's ancestors in Africa and Sumeria and so forth. the optimism and joy are from the conviviality of being with other human beings, as is still the case, even in places under threat of genocide these days. So, it is not that we live as princes or kings (remember, Solomon's stupid and disingenuous conclusion to Ecclesiastes; rich people couldn't understand why they were miserable then); it is that we pretend we are no longer connected to other people, are "individuals" (which Jung labelled a pathological condition). In the simplest word, we are lonely and are so averse to any semblance of obligation to another person (in our tribe) that feel the whole thing as chaos and anguish. However, as far as comparing the music then and now. There is lots and lots of interesting music these days, even if it takes some looking: there are mountains of interesting "black metal" being produced, which might be chaotic and threatening and deafening, but is as decidedly religious as Bach, for instance. I agree that vast swaths of classical music these days are a sorry, confused wreckage uncertain of what to do, or simply aspiring to the condition of a movie soundtrack, but there are still exceptions. If I'm going to be diagnostic, I would say it is that people's sensibilities have become so blunted that they can't pay attention to the aesthetics of anything. Some composers (like Jeff Loomis, in metal) turns this into a positive virtue, but this is rare. I've been re-watching Tarkovsky films lately, and he really drives home the opposite of subsequent trends in film. Similarly, I've been re-reading Schiller's "On the Sublime" (no. 1 recommendation), and his discussion of developing one's aesthetic sensibilities. One can certainly sharpen them on Bach, or just sink into a "mood" of wallow (missing the opportunity). I just don't have a lot of patience for we older people insisting that the kid's stuff of today is awful. Much is, but then much was awful in our day (such is "popular" media) and we can get all squishy and nostalgic for that garbage. So, let's not let our evident obsolescence turn us into cranks. Taste is always a thing (I can't stand Mozart and Beethoven when not at the piano, and sometimes even then, irks me), some of Frank Zappa is immortal (or should be), and there were trashy ditties in Bach's day as well, and so on. The difference between then and now is that money is all important, and pathological individualism is taken as the defining reality of our so-called civilization (hurtling the planet into extinction, so that's a germane qualifier!) Also, let's not forget, there are cheese-corn renditions of this piece. THe reason we're so excited about this one is because it is CONSISTENTLY (not just here and there in an aria or two) managing to strike that lasting, fundamental chord that art in the most genuine sense gets back to over and over (as one sees in Tarkovsky's films as well). Meanwhile, hooray for this performance, is the point, yes? :) Cheers.

@Tom Korporaal (I like your observation, and here is my response to it!) Well, the debasement of culture in our epoch is the result of a sleazy, commercial form of populism. Music is rarely taught inner- city schools and the love of music is thereby stifled. During the first half (approximately), the indigenous musical form of jazz was created by Black people, an amalgam of popular European music ( e.g.from Strauss waltzes) Afro-based rhythm and US Black blues. It was playful, poignant, musically complex, and often achieved its own kind of musical profundity. It was also appealing and intellectual. As it evolved, it was embraced by its own kind of cultural elite, White and Black bohemians and intellectuals. It fell into the same trap as European Classical music, however, which is pushed melodic boundaries to the point where most "ordinary" folks were alienated, as they had earlier been with Arnold Schoenberg and his ilk. The debasement of US pop, once a watered-down version of jazz/blues came about progressively and garnered the affection and admiration of both Black and White youth as a kind of musical rebellion, some of it reasonably catchy and enjoyable. A friend of mine once characterized it as a kind of "novelty music that took over the world!" omitted far

I have never been so challenged with a text as a first soprano - it is by all accounts my favorite piece of choral music and one that I am certain I will forever remember. I was part of a wonderful chorus of which I was the odd one out as it was made up completely of college students and older very experienced singers from the community, and I learned more from the weekly practices than I had in several years of schooling. This piece - and this recording, extremely beautiful and a very helpful practice - is gorgeous and I consider it required listening in general.

Yet another superb musical performance of the highest order, consistently beyond any of the 'competition', anywhere that I have heard in 50 years. Only Simon Preston and Trevor Pinnock are close. The performers and conductor are so natural and clearly thoroughly focussed, relaxed, enjoying the experience, no controls or silly histrionics. Fantastic!

I get chills when I hear this. I used to listen to this in my dorm at college. On vinyl discs. And sang soprano in our college choir. 1970 to 1971. Also Handel’s Messiah. Sang in church choir next to my mother Mendelssohn’s Elijah 1982. In English- took about three hours to perform. Visited St.Thomas Kirche in Germany where both Mendelssohn and JS Bach were organists and choir masters. I stood right in front of the choir pews and two feet away from the golden toned floor plaque dedicated to Bach! All these blessings! I still have my mother’s Creation score 69 years later!

I heard a story on the BBC some years ago, then entitled "St Matthew Passion Miracle" or something like that . It was about a man who was in a coma, and when his vital signs started to drop and it looked like he was dying his wife had an inspired moment and played him Bach's Matthew Passion in his earbuds - and he came out of the coma in 30 minutes! I believe much of his sacred music (at least) is spiritual and achieves what he dedicated it for, namely "The glory of God and the refreshment of the human soul".

@@MrJohnno76 Bach's music is immensely comforting. Following a massive head injury I sustained in a high speed collision with a semi, followed by eight days in a coma, I found it difficult to make sense of the world, of anything. For some reason, I felt an impulse to listen to Bach's music, which is strange; for I had preferred until then the Romantics to him, especially Beethoven and Mahler. I checked out from a library two cds: a recording of his most prominent organ works, and Glenn Gould's 1980 recording of the Goldberg Variations. I found the latter in particular uniquely soothing - something about the counterpoint and variations on one constant theme, became a constant need. I listened to it again and again, even several times a day. Some time later I got a hold of the Well Tempered Clavier. The effect was similar. It soothed me as nothing else could, at a time when deep depression made thoughts of suicide a constant struggle. In retrospect, it seems no exaggeration at all that, along with an incredibly faithful wife and forgiving children, Bach saved my life.

@@bwv7186 Its a moving story - I hope things are OK for you now without too much residual disability & scarring of body or mind. It's an understandable story to me too - I have always felt that the effect Bach has on my mind is - and I can find no better word - cleansing. I worked in the English Health Service, and in a difficult period for me 10yr ago I was growing resentful of the studied exploitation of the personal qualities of workers in the service by those running it. It had been obvious to those at the coalface for a decade before this that a workforce crisis was developing - a bulge of boomer doctors and 1970s Asian migrant doctors approached retirement and would reduce supply. At the same time ALL the demand factors were going the other way: a steadily older and therefore sicker population, more novel tests & treatments, a rising UK population, rising patient expectations. But the politicians couldn't/wouldn't see and plan for it. My 10hr working day became 14 or 16hr as perfectionist traits drove me to try to keep things running smothly. The least demanding admin tasks were done at the fag-end of the day and the last of these was the mostly mindless signing of hundreds of prescriptions in a weary haze. Enraged at the theft of my evenings and at myself for my inability to forget the values my parents had given me so I could walk away from it all, I looked for something to help me avoid blowing a circuit. And found, after trials of other pieces, Bach's Goldberg variations - Nikolayeva and Perahia performances. Like you I listened again and again, first of all setting aside the prescriptions to concentrate, and then when I knew them by heart, I worked with them in the background. It did not save my life, but DID save my equanimity. In this way, Bach allowed me to survive my last working years.

Once again, profound gratitude to the Netherlands Bach Society - and not just for the performance of the work (beauty, joy, excitement) but for the nimbus of interviews with performers, with snatches of rehearsals, that together make this so very rewarding. What a text it is for musical setting too: no wonder that one can see on Wikipedia a list of almost 250 composers of Magnificat settings (and it does not claim to be complete).

Bach quería estar en comunión con la Fe Católica. Lo mejor de lo mejor de su repertorio está concentrado en la Misa en Si Menor, una misa católica que nuca llego a escucharla entera en vida, solo lo dejó escrito. Clara señal que al final de sus días quiso ser católico. Los católicos veneramos, honramos, amamos a nuestra Santa Madre la Siempre Virgen María, escuchar el Magníficat es una experiencia religiosa y artístico a la vez.
