J.S. Bach - Cantata BWV 119 "Preise, Jerusalem, den Herrn" (J.S. Bach Foundation)

[@michaelpinker7618]

Maria Weber, from the choir, sings beautifully in this, her only solo performance with Bachstiftung. Brava!

[@christiaandhooghe]

13:39 min Margot Oitzinger the contralto hus such a beautiful warm voice. Noble color and timbre. So perfect for Bach. She would be wonderful singing te alto solo cantata's from Bach. Thank you for sharing this beautiful music. 🌹

Sublime interprétation : exaltation & bonheur 😇🌟🌠

As a resident of Leipzig, I was very pleased to realize that I'm being addressed when the tenor sings "Wohl dir, du Volk der Linden". (Leipzig/Lipsk means "settlement where linden trees stand".) Thank you for this beautiful recording!

First played in Leipzig nearly 300 years ago - Preise, Jerusalem, den Herrn (Praise the Lord, Jerusalem), BWV 119, is a sacred cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed it in Leipzig for Ratswechsel, the inauguration of a new town council, and first performed it on 30 August 1723.

Absolutely magnificent. Fabulous alto, as always, a mighty feature in these productions.

[@Richard.Atkinson]

4:55 - Trumpets playing the theme in the dominant key just bars before the ending in the tonic - one of my favorite moments from the Bach cantatas.

[@florafurioso9197]

Could I contact you about imaging this performance?

[@VladVlad-ul1io]

I LOVE YOUR BRILLIANT VIDEOS. You are so good at harmony and counterpoint!

[@sashadelmar7531]

The trumpet arpeggio in the chorus (e.g. at 18') was tormenting me....then I found it, in Gavotte II of the orchestral Suite No.1 in C BWV 1066. Hooray!

[@IvanGreindl]

What a mastery for such a rich and complex score!

[@orofilaperez-li8lt]

merci beaucoup

[@gervaisfrykman266]

Thank you so much, music, performance, trumpets, recorders, oboes, alto, everything.

[@edelahaye]

Margot Oitzinger is a wonderful baroque singer, with a deep and straight voice like I expect for Bach or Haendel ...

[@전해용-h9n]

What a magnificent music ! Just fabulous.

[@MichelDomingue7]

Really well done!!! Bravo!!

[@carolynclark1724]

Beautiful cantata sung by my favorite choir.

[@gabordobrocsi5368]

Bravo!

[@harryjoseph1802]

What a treat, this Cantata with two choruses and a fine Aria by your talented Alto and ofcourse the Recorder players! Should have uploaded this on the 28th for the 272nd of the Master!

[@iolepippo9826]

Magnifico!

[@johnbeattie5014]

For the chorus: "Der Herr hat Guts an uns getan"...alternative lyrics could be..."Herr Bach hat Guts an uns getan".

[@cillyede]

Sehr schön, danke.

[@santanaeletronica1]

Muito lindo! Bravíssimo!

[@1flutewalker]

This is actually one of my favorite Bachstiftung recordings. The performance and recording are fantastic, the chorus in top voice, the acoustics phenomenal, the composition surprisingly high-end for a political effort by JSB. However, the break for ads in first movement interrupts the cadence everytime, please fix.

Pay for youtube premium and then you can skip the ads. Also in case you are completely unaware, the video authors don't control the ads; youtube inserts dynamically which can be different for each viewer.

[@gervaisfrykman266]

Get an ad-blocker. I have forgotten how destructive those interruptions were.

[@johnbeattie5014]

@@gervaisfrykman266 No...PAY for the beautiful music when you listen ad-free.

[@edelahaye]

Very nice job, as usual. The bass, tenor and alto voices could have been mixed a few louder.

[@patriciarodriguezmartinez3233]

❤️

[@edelahaye]

I heard the theme of the alto aria before. Does it come from another artwork from Bach ? The recorders are a bit too far from their microphone ...

[@jinranwei8371]

Die Obrigkeit ist Gottes Gabe

[@melcadman]

No - it comes from our humanity. Why is that you believers always have to proselytise and preach?

[@florafurioso9197]

A minor correction. The title in the notes reads "Johann Sebastian Bach - Cantata BWV 30 "Preise, Jerusalem, den Herrn" (Praise, Jerusalem, the Lord) " you meant BWV 119, I think..

[@ldm3027]

unfortunately the mixing balance is not good in this cantata
