Bach - Cantata Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele BWV 69 - Dijkstra | Netherlands Bach Society

Bach performed the first version of 'Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele' when he had been working for just half a year in Leipzig, on the twelfth Sunday after Trinity. Many of the devout town councillors would have been concerned during the opening section. Talk about theatrical!

Having lived in Leipzig, I've been to the Thomaskirche, Nikolaikirche, and the Altes Rathaus. I swear you feel Bach's presence in all three places! Alas, Zimmermann's Café (where the "Coffee Cantata" was premiered) was destroyed in a Second World War bombing, but on that exact spot where it stood was my bank. I swear you can still feel Bach there, too. When I would stand in line waiting for a teller, I would always smile, I think people wondered why. Now the reason is revealed ;)

[@Schlorff]

NBS with the illustrious Peter Dijkstra! Can't get better than that!

[@joselopes2293]

Another fabulous cantata by the undisputed master of counterpoint. The melody is fabulous, with sublime cadence. The vocal interpretation is amazing and the musical direction is flawless. Viva Bach and his wonderful music. Thanks for the fantastic moments produced by this recording. Soloists have magnificent voices.Bravissimo.

[@jamjam9253]

The dutch are in my opinion the best bach interpreters in the world today. They have a lot great baroque musicians. Love from your neighbours 🇳🇱❤🇩🇪

[@jaikee9477]

True, but to be fair, many of the musicians and singers come from various European countries, and I think one of the contrabassists comes from the US.

[@michaeldiakakis4581]

There is consistent freshness & scholarship in these recordings, aspects that are regularly commented on. However, if we are to enjoy music at this level, we should give some thought to the high achievement of the sound engineers of the project, in particular how were they trained and in the ways they can pass on their skills.

Before the end of the world is there we need to learn all these pieces by heart so we can sing them in heaven.. Oh, no, no need, Bach is there because he put his faith in Christ. If we do the same and study a lot to sing we might sing in Bachs choir. But first things first... Believe and obey Jesus Christ.

The chorus of this cantata was part of the music at the wedding of the present King and Queen of Spain on May 22nd 2004. That a Lutheran festivity should feature at a Catholic wedding is perhaps surprising even today. However, the interpretation of the text given by conductor Peter Dijkstra in his explanatory video shows it to be totally apt (it carries a veiled warning to the town councillors of Leipzig not to exceed their powers). Not for me (or anybody) to appraise this performance beyond saying that I find it ideally bouncy, not least in the delivery of the soprano soloist.

[@costantinobenini2991]

Praise the Lord, my soul, and do not forget the good He has done for you! How great, indeed, is God's goodness! He brought us to the light, and sustains us still. Where can one find even a single creature that lacks for sustenance? Only consider, my spirit, the unconcealed trace of the Almighty, who even in the smallest things reveals Himself greatly. Ah! If only I could be sucessful, o Highest, in bringing You a worthy song of gratitude! Yet, should the skill be lacking in me in this, I will still tell, Lord, of Your glory. My soul, arise! tell what God has revealed to you! Speak of His wondrous deeds, to please the Highest, let a happy song of thanks resound! The Lord has done great things for us. Since He cares for and sustains, protects and guides the world. He does more than can be put in words. However, consider only one thing: what better gift could God give us, than that to our government He would give the spirit of wisdom, which at all times punishes evil, and loves goodness? Indeed, which by day and night watches over our welfare? Let us therefore praise the Highest; Arise! call to Him, so that henceforth He will reveal Himself graciously. What might be harmful to our land, You will turn aside from us, o Highest, and send us wished-for aid. Yes, yes, with suffering and troubles You will punish us, but not kill us. My Redeemer and Sustainer, take me always under your protection and watch! Stand by me in suffering and sorrow, then my mouth will sing with joy: God has made all things well. May You, o God, be thanked and praised by people in good works; the earth brings forth fruit and improves itself, Your word is flourishing. May the Father and the Son bless us, may God, the Holy Spirit, bless us, to Whom all the world gives honor, and Who is held in the greatest awe and let us heartily say: Amen!

There are many differences, such as the tuning mechanism (lack of a tuning pedal for instance), the skins, etc. In this video timpanist Wiersma discusses a number of characteristics of baroque timpani: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmHSoqCZbLOLb7M

This cantata, like everything the NBS does, is magnificent. The musicians and singer are wonderful. My only criticism is that the NBS continues t use counter tenors singing the alto parts that should be sung by women. Men traditionally have three registers while women have two, taking a part from women is somewhat discriminatory.
