J.S. Bach - Cantata BWV 110 "Unser Mund sei voll Lachens" (J. S. Bach Foundation)

It really is a miraculous performance.

[@DeirdreMcNamara]

I love McLeod - especially his "mache dich mein herze rein" in the Herreweghe Bach-St. Matthew Passion. All superb! But I wish he'd change his eyeglass frames for a softer look. Producers are all about "image" sad to say, and I'd like to see him - actually HEAR him in more roles...

Merci à vous, Monsieur Lutz, et à vos chanteurs, à ce merveilleux orchestre, pour cette magnifique interprétation de cette cantate, à mon sens une des plus belles du Maître. Cette expression de la joie, transcrite par Bach est probablement une des plus vraies, des plus sincères, jamais écrite. Merci encore de nous donner à écouter ce chef d'oeuvre. « Vom Herzen ! Möge es wieder zu Herzen gehen », écrivait Beethoven à propos de la Missa Solemnis. Ce mot s'applique sans réserve à cette oeuvre.

Stephen MacLeod is gifted by a wonderful voice, as well as Bernhard Berchtold.

[@Amunhotep4th]

I believe Stephen MacLeod can sing anything. I've never heard sch wonderful technique in the 60 years I've been listening to classical music. His approach is remarkable and precise. An excellent is the aria "Wacht auf, ihr Adern und ihr Glieder"! i am highly impressed indeed! His voice is like fine wine or wonderful pipe tobacco. His voice leaves you with memories which are impossible to ever forget!!

[@whdaffer1]

He is *very* good!

I went through a couple of years of "hell" for exposing the fallacies surrounding Covid and the bioweapons...every day I listened to MacLeod's "Mache Dich mein Herze Rein..." so powerful, strengthening, and "cleansing..." I didn't want to spend my last years hating anybody even the Democrats!!! 🤣 Music has powers to heal, and the human voice is the most exquisite of all instruments...and there are some ANGELIC ones here on You Tube...

[@henriquessilveira]

buboy1685, he is usually very good, the voice is beautiful but here he is not in his best day, it seems that the harmonics are a bit out of tune in the beginning of the aria. Maybe some stress in the vocal chords...

Wait, is the soprano in Ehre sei Gott in der Höhe blind? Is she reading her notes through braille? Whoa! I've never seen that before. But it would make sense that someone blind would become a great singer--mostly because your sense of hearing heightens to great levels when you lose/are not born with sight.

[@stigekalder]

Luboman411 Yes she is blind - the German Soprano Gerlinde Sämann - a wonderful singer

That she is likely the first or second blind woman singer is a negative statement about our society. Kudos to Maestro Lutz for having the courage & wisdom to present this fabulous musician.

Lovely to see the often under-rated Bass Stephen McLeod in more solos. I even prefer his "Mache dich" (Bach, St. Matthew) to dishy-voiced Per Mattei's rendition. The bass adds more solemnity. Lovely to see young performers, but alarming to see an audience that appears to be 90% Senior Citizens... As the young performers mature, who will follow them? Who will be their audiences? Beautiful and joyful... our youth need that!

For Korean 칸타타 110 우리의 입을 웃음으로 채웁니다 1. Chorus [Dictum]1 (S, A, T, B) 우리의 입을 웃음으로 채웁니다. 그리고 우리의 혀로 경배를 드립니다. 하나님께서는 우리를 위하여 위대한 일을 하셨습니다.(1) 2. Aria (T) 너희 모든 마음과 생각들아! 이제부터 이 땅에서 관심을 돌려라! 천국으로 올라가는 속도를 높여라. 그리고 하나님께서 하신 일을 기억하라. 그는 친히 인간이 되셨고 그로 인해 우리는 완전한 천국의 자녀가 됩니다. 3. Recit. [Dictum] (B) 주님 누구도 당신과 비할 수 없습니다. 당신은 위대하고 당신의 이름 마저 위대합니다. 당신은 이를 당신이 하시는 일에서 보여 주실 것입니다. 4. Aria (A) 오! 주님 인자(son of man) 가 무엇입니까? 당신이 그토록 고통스럽게 구원하시고자 하셨던 인간.... 지옥과 마귀가 인간을 둘러쌀 때.... 당신께서 저주한 벌레 같은 인간... 이미 당신(하나님)의 아들, 그의 영혼과 정신, 사랑으로 그 아들을 당신의 상속자로 부르셨습니다. 5. Aria [Dictum] (S, T) 하늘에서는 하나님께 영광 땅에서는 선한 인간들의 평화가... 6. Aria (B) 깨어라! 핏줄과 수족들아 그리고 이런 기쁨의 노래를 불러라. 그것은 우리 하나님 아버지를 기쁘게 할 것이라. 그리고 너희들 성실한 수금들아(3) 그에게 이러한 마음과 마음이 기뻐하는 경배를 드리자. 7. Chorale (S, A, T, B) 알렐루야! 하나님은 경배 받으십니다. 우리 모두는 마음 깊은 곳에서 당신을 찬양합니다.(4) 왜냐하면 이날에 하나님께서 이러한 기쁨을 만드셨기에... 우리는 어느 때이고 그것을 잊을 수 없습니다.

[@alexluck4420]

I agree it is such a joyous piece (and I think this totally comes across- amazing performance!) but try singing the opening movement- it is extremely challenging to do well so I'm not surprised the performers might look serious- they're just focussing intensely! This piece is among the hardest of the Bach opening movements to sing out of all of his cantatas, partly because it is an adaptation of a virtuoso instrumental piece.

[@henriquessilveira]

Simon Hunt Not so excellent, it is a modern trumpet, XXI century instrument, with holes, not the real original natural instrument, as played by Madeuf today, or the musicians of Bach times. It would be astonishing to see the same player playing the real deal, he is very good, but not excellent.

[@simon12321]

Henrique Silveira might consider the possibility that authenticity is not the only criterion for excellence. Madeuf does, remarkably, play almost in tune without holes and with a fine tone. The beauty of his playing is enhanced by its slight vulnerability. But is it authentic? I’m not sure. And, however much there may be authenticity of sound production, can we ever listen with authentic ears? No we cannot! Besides, I have a theory that Gottfried Reiche, who appears in a portrait holding a coiled trumpet, might have drilled into it one or two discreetly placed vent holes: thus he would have achieved the excellent tuning Bach would have liked. As we know from contemporary accounts, Bach insisted that his organ tuners allowed him to play a tolerable A flat major chord. We also know that he figured out a way of tuning his clavier in such a way that all keys were possible. Given his interest in tuning, I doubt he’d have formed such a high opinion of Reiche unless he was able to play Fs and flat As in tune, and possibly with even greater accuracy than Madeuf achieves without holes.

[@henriquessilveira]

Edmund Spenser: the concept "in tune" is not absolute, it relates to temperament. I really love the natural harmonics outside the equal temperament, Bach wrote with that in mind. Moreover, there is no proof at all about holes in XVIII century. The holes produce a tune tamed for xxi century ears, including conductors, educated in equal temperament. I suffer a lot with the awful major thirds, including in the so called hip...

[@Twentythousandlps]

In the duet, the organist has been instructed to invent a counter melody to the cello melody composed by Bach which anticipates Bach's vocal lines. I can't stand that sort of clutter. All the organist should do is play the proper harmonies. What Bach wrote is entirely sufficient. The soprano is "reading" it through her fingers, by the way.

Because a counter-tenor/male alto is what Baroque composers used back in the early 1700s. Women were not really encouraged to sing outside of opera. So having a male alto sing this part is historically accurate. Just look it up, you silly goose.
