Bach - Cantata Gott, man lobet dich in der Stille BWV 120 - Van Veldhoven | Netherlands Bach Society

The only parts that Bach definitely wrote especially for 'Gott, man lobet dich in der Stille', performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, are the recitatives and the final chorale of the piece. Although the opening aria and the ensuing chorus for a large group of musicians to the words ‘Rejoice, you joyful voices’ correspond closely to the text, Bach initially did not compose them for these words. The latter and other remaining parts were borrowed from his earlier pieces.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on March 15th 2014 at St Martin's Church, Groningen. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

I cannot believe what I'm listening. How can this music be possible? I dont really understand how was able Bach to compose this cantata. Saying that this is good music is an insult. This cantata goes far beyond perfection.

[@gianlucabersanetti6454]

With Bach's music you truly feel like you don't need anything else in life.

[@toniotonio4366]

[@sebastiancandor8680]

How is that so true? At a time when life seemed pointless, I discovered Bach. There was an undeniable narrative perspective in every note he wrote though. His music has ever since injected my life with meaning. Thank you for telling me a story Bach, one that I could understand.

The Bach Cantatas delivered on the internet by The Netherlands Bach Society are nothing short of a virtual gold mine. I hereby convey to them my deepest gratitude. Bach’s sacred music is the most important body of music ever to have come into existence, if you ask me.

At 7:33... it's amazing how the men's voices swell behind the rest of the orchestra and choir, like a beam of fiery light growing brighter and brighter until the end of the phrase. It's so joyful and glorious, it gets me so hyped every time I hear it.

[@seokhomoon8369]

The trumpet tune of the last part is "March for three trumpets and timpani" of C.P.E Bach. Excellent performance with outstanding trumpet playing accompanied.

[@jeanlecomte5131]

La présentation organisée par le chef Jos van Veldhoven est tout à fait exceptionnelle ! Tout y est, la qualité des images, la superbe église, chaque soliste mérite les félicitations d'un large public : quelle chance de pouvoir assister à cela et de les écouter. La prise de son est superbe et JS Bach est encore une fois magnifique ! La soprano chante aussi bien qu'elle est belle : Un régal pour les sens ! Merci à Jos Veldhoven.

[@jackgallagher9949]

Spectacular, yet sensitive, natural trumpet playing, especially by principal Robert Vanryne. Bravo!

[@andyschannelforucdavis1305]

Not natural trumpets! Bach's trumpeters never had side holes to simplify their task. These are "baroque" trumpets, a modern invention with an effective PR campaign. If you see a player using one hand to play-Jean Francois Madeuf, for example- they are natural trumpeters. That said. these players are highly skilled.

[@skymarshallmarz5573]

The soloists, singers, and musicians are beyond first rate. The trumpet playing, though powerful, isnt broken and is full of nuance and musicality.

Loveliness and perfection beyond words. An unusual (for Bach) cantata, opening with the alto solo *followed by* a grand chorus. Also the concluding brass fanfare & gigue movement. Bach's music can touch us on levels that no other composer can. What a delight is our dear friend Bach!

[@Astor962]

Between timing 16'14" and 17'14" there is one of the most admirable page written by Johann Sebastian Bach. The vocal line unexpectedly moves towards the high tessitura after a passage of poignant tenderness. Rarely does one find a writing of this power in all 18th-century music: a wing stroke of a genius!
