Das kommt heraus, wenn man Gott durch sich wirken lässt. Eine Fülle und Reichtum von intelligenten, berührenden Meisterwerken. Er sagte von sich er habe es nicht einfach aus sich heraus geschrieben, sondern, aus der göttlichen Quelle, empfangen. Lasset uns mehr ins Göttliche vertrauen! Danke für diese Pracht an hingebungsvollen Texten und Noten, die wohl nur einer gläubigen Seele entspringen können. Der Glaube versetzt wahrlich Herzen und damit Berge!

[@pjkhunold]

Ich finde es unglaublich sympathisch, wie Rudolf Lutz schon vor dem Schlußapplaus die Mitwirkenden lobt. Er tut das häufiger. Hier mit einem "bravi", manchmal auch mit "Danke". Ich kann mir vorstellen, daß es sehr viel Spaß macht, mit solch einem Menschen Musik zu machen.

[@luissupan9117]

Bach's music is a bright meteor that has not faded since the last 3 centuries (so far); it astounds, captivates in its "simple complexity". God bless Rudolf Lutz, the singers, the choir and the orchestra.

A special nod to Esther Fluor on oboe d'amore. Such sweet and relaxed arches of sound, such confident and centered authority in the alto solo. I wish she showed up more in the Bachstiftung recordings.

¡Qué bella cantata! Trompetas, timbales, flautas, fagotes, oboes, coro, etc todos cantando "alabado sea Dios que me protege desde que estaba en el vientre de mi madre",,, he llorado un poquito con esta obra, tan bonita alabanza a Dios. Mi madre de 75 años habla quechua y español... le traduje del alemán al español y también le gustó mucho esta obra de Bach que nunca había escuchado y me la tradujo en quechua como quería escuchar y qué lindo suena. Gracias Bachstiftung por compartirnos tanta belleza. Saludos desde Lima-Perú!

Not only the music of the redoubtable divinely inspired Bach but such gifted performers. What awesome music performed by wonderfully talented beautiful people. Thank you Herr Lutz. Thank you God over all.

[@MrUseur]

Der Eingangssatz der Kantate ist ganz besonders schön. Ich erinnere mich an einen im Fernsehen übertragenen Neujahrsgottesdienst in der Dresdener Frauenkirche, während dem dieser Satz aufgeführt wurde. Die wunderbare Dynamik der Musik, die damit einhergehende Harmonie und und und,: Die Pastorin hätte schweigen können, der liebe Gott war auch so schon ganz nah und der Heilige Geist hatte die Kirche bis unter die Domkuppel erfasst. Die Kirchengemeinde war Zeuge der Dreifaltigkeit. Ich selbst bemerkte, dass das Tor zum Himmel ganz weit offen stand. // Danke für die schöne Musik.

Almost every composition of Bach's reaches superhuman heights. It's always seemed incredible to me that he could do this once a week!!

[@herrickinman9303]

Bach eventually provided a cantata for each Sunday of the liturgical year in Leipzig, but that doesn't mean that a new cantata was performed every Sunday. Do you really think that, on top of all his administrative duties and the private instruction he gave, that in just 7 days there was time to compose a new cantata, and prepare a fair copy of the score for the copyists, and have the copyists copy out all performance parts by hand, and rehearse? At university, it would us take 6-8 sessions just to rehearse this cantata.

[@rocketsroar1]

Nothing wrong with the music. The message in the music is the problem. Organized religion = organized crime.

[@annonuhm8400]

​@@neosannyasin8022 The message is love and hope. Nothing wrong :) but of course I see your point. But there are bad people in every powerful organisation who use their influence for their own "advantage" and harm others. This isn't a problem of religion, it's a problem of power. Abuse f.e. is also an issue in every other organisation which cares for children. The institutions in the catholic church how ever have failed fixing the problem because they come from times of absolute hierarchy and have an attitude of "solving the problems of the church in the church". (Btw. Bach was a Lutheran composer and this topic isn't a really big problem in Lutheran Churches due to their more modern structure and theological orientation)

A wonderful interpretation. Perfect performances and relaxed, non-rushed tempi - just as Bach would have favored. 👍❤️

[@bobh5087]

@@ericfern8869 I think that 17th-18th century composers/ musicians were not stricken with our modern, frantic, hurried, assaulted senses. In order to fully comprehend and appreciate the *highly complex and linear* character of Baroque music, it must be comprehendable to be savored - and that means performed in a relaxed, "savorable" tempo. To Baroque composers, the term "Allegro" simply meant "cheerful and lightheaded," not "break-neck fast." Too many modern interpreters of Baroque music perform it so unnervingly fast that all one hears is an incomprehensible sonic blur. As a college music professor once told me: always take the Middle Way, tempo-wise, with Baroque music; neither too slow nor too fast. That's all I'm saying. C'est une question de préférence, n'est-ce pas?

[@bobh5087]

@@ericfern8869 You're arguments are essentially meaningless, as "unequivocal proof" is literally impossible - there are no sound or video examples to "prove" anything... only second-and-third-hand writings (i. e., historically removed subjective personal opinions). You are, in fact, generalizing and jumping to unsubstantiated "conclusions." What does "fast" or "slow" even mean without composer-inscribed metronome indications (which early composers never provided)? Who knows. As a British musician friend says: "It's like asking, 'How long is a piece of string?'" Obviously, there can be no answer. I still stand by my opinions, as I'm certain you do. In the end, everything in Art boils down to personal tastes and aesthetic judgments. And this is one "generalization" I'll wholeheartedly continue to believe.
