Bach: Magnificat in E flat major, BWV 243a (Ton Koopman, Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra)

[@joselopes2293]

Bach Mgnificat is really a glorious religious music. This and the outstanding vocal interpretation are the elements that become sublime the masterpiece. Viva Bach!! The orchestra and the set of voices are excellent. Thanks for this divine interpretation.

[@prassitelexk43]

grazie al maestro inimitabile Ton Koopmann e alla sua formidabile orchestra e coro……

[@guglielmomastrillo2295]

Stupenda esecuzione del MAESTRO TON KOOPMAN.

[@mayoudutilleul6442]

Ma version préférée du magnificat! La direction pleine de légèreté de Tom Kopman donne un rendu exaltant! Et l'alto qui interpréte l'exsultavit m'a tellement touchée que je l'ai fait jouer à l'enterrement de mon mari

[@RecordareDomineA415]

Otkrivanje i izucivanje Bach-ove muzike nastavlja se i danas. Zahvaljujući svom talentu i njegovim mnogim radovima, pronalazenje Bach-ovog dela uporedivo je s pronalaženjem blaga. Ovo je majstor barokne muzike koji je stvorio mnoge radove kao što je blago. Možda je Bach blago koje je ostavilo korak koji se ne bi izbrisao muzičkom istorijom. Do sada je bio samo jedan: Johann Sebastian Bach, kompozitor sveta. Divno!

[@therising1]

My children have heard this more times than I care to admit. My all time favorite.

[@konstantinosapostolatos3875]

When my youngest daughter was...only a few months old, I used to let her listen to Bach's Magnificat and she would be totally absorbed by it (like I always am) :-) Wonderful interpretation by T. Koopman, as usual!

[@marcelkruger1306]

Die allerbeste Wiedergabe die ich bisher gehört habe. DANKE !! Vor allem die Tempi in den einzelnen Sätze sehr gut gewählt. Vor allem bei "Sicut locutus est" richtig Frisch und spritzig, wie es sein muss. Ich liebes es !! :-) :-) VIELEN DANK, TON KOOPMAN und sein Ensemble

[@florencedumas5419]

Absolument extraordinaire....une version admirable du Magnificat vraiment unique...à recommander ;et bravo à tous les artistes 😍😊

Thrilling and inspirational. Thank you for bringing this "gem" to all of us.

!Magnífico! !Dulce! !Conciliador! y !Restaurador! ...y pensar que pasó volando, como pasan los minutos más bellos en nuestra vida. !Gracias a todas esas almas virtuosas que nos deleitan con tan indescriptibles sensaciones, permitiéndonos encontrarnos en un paraíso que aún no merecemos, y sin embargo hacen nuestras como son nuestros propios sueños. !Gracias a todos los invisibles técnicos dirigentes y asistentes que nos prodigan sus creaciones y fantacias, que nos llenan de tanta felicidad! !Gracias a KZbin por existir y ser nuestro(a)!

[@juanrossi321]

Wow!! Thanks for having post this marvelous conducting of Bach's Magnificat. Wonderful choir voices, never overlapping erroneously, always singing together, clearly feeling each line!

[@maxvonb7540]

When I was 7 and living in London, my mom wanted to take to the Magnificat. I was sick of classical and I refused, so she told me: "Well, It is about a cat who is ... Magnificent!". I could never forget such association.

[@GeometryDashDyno]

Genius mom

[@Evattko]

Do you enjoy listening to the Magnificat now that you are a grown up ? You sure had a nice mum !

[@JoseJimenez-gq6pv]

Sublime, Bach insuperable, con Mozart ,lo mejor de las composiciones hechas en la historia de la música

[@helioenriquesuarezgodoy2899]

Este Magnificat de J. S. Bach es de una calidad y espiritualidad extraordinaria, elevando realmente la música a alturas espectrales..Belisimo..Gracias por permitir escucharlo...

[@richardchene5610]

Bonjour, je ne cesse pas de 'regarder' cet enregistrement, vraiment regarder! La prise de vues est magnifique, voir chaque choriste dans la joie de ce sujet, c'est un bonheur. Moi qui suis un petit choriste basse, chômeur en ce moment, je suis transporté, comblé, ... et jaloux! Et Tom Koopman est trop... Quelle présence, quelle simplicité.

[@luismartinez-hd8rj]

Maravillosa música, e interpretada donde está enterrado el inmortal Bach

[@TeleBachHand]

This explosion of Bach's music, especially the Cantatas is just plain phenominal(sic?), not to mention an unlimited number of 'Re-Discovered' composers&works of the Baroque Period....truly these are God_Sent!.....jn

[@karolw.5208]

Fantastyczne wykonanie!

[@matteovasta5952]

Quello che mi stupisce di Bach è la qualità eccezionale delle musiche della” Chiesa Trionfante “. Lui un compositore “ luterano” severo. La compagine olandese rende molto gioiosa la musica di Bach.

[@figarogiulini50]

Profound understanding and interpretation, love the precision tune and 'cool' enthusiasm of Bogna Bartosz...besides it being excellently recorded. Probably the most convincing rendition of the E flat major version of the Magnificat I have come across so far.

[@主の中信は常]

Mr. Koopman's a real treat to see when conducting 😂 I watched a clip of St. Matthew Passion where he's conducting, but I didn't know that he's always this jolly (maybe) haha

[@mhastenreiter6291]

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; as he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. Lucas 1:46-55

Great concert! At 15:40 Franz Schubert is seen in the choir 😊

[@naess004]

That's Jasper Schweppe, who has recently recorded Schubert's Winterreise, you can check it out on Spotify, or maybe even here on KZbin.

[@Nooticus]

Along with the Herreweghe recording done a year prior to this one (in 2002), these two recordings of the E flat major earlier version of this work (nowadays categorised as BWV 243.1 instead of BWV 243a) are by far the best. The addition of the 4 Christmas movements does wonders for this entire work. Edit: Not sure what the sudden sharp cut at 9:52 was for though... kind of ruins this performance

[@VitaliyGR]

Additional thanks for normal Latin "magna" in V instead of meowing "manja" heard so often in this movement ^_^

[@phwbooth]

No such thing as 'normal Latin'.

[@xbqchm]

As a rule of thumb: works of German composers are best sung with "classical" pronunciation (no [tch] [dj] [ny] etc. sounds as in Italian).

[@naess004]

That's not normal, that's German. In Italian or French music we would have sung manya.

Trumpets having a bit of a time with the parts, sounding a little thin at times. Overall a really good performance.

[@engelbertschoormans]

Trumpets in E flat exist back then? Didn't know that...

[@jorgeurzuaurzua4011]

I apologize, I was wrong (in part). I selected the Koopman version that includes only Magnificat bit the music played in my computer was another version, including besides Magnificat cantata 63 and several other Bach works. I guess technology overcomes old people like myself. Please disregard previous comment.

Le Puissant fit pour moi des merveilles : Saint est son nom ! Son amour s’étend d’âge en âge sur ceux qui le craignent Déployant la force de son bras, il disperse les superbes. Il renverse les puissants de leurs trônes il élève les humbles. Il comble de biens les affamés, renvoie les riches les mains vides. Il relève ISRAEL, son serviteur ; il se souvient de son amour De la promesse faite à nos pères, en faveur d’Abraham et de sa race, à jamais

[@Snuggelbubs1]

So confusing, because this IS BWV243a (with the 4 Christmas hymns added, without Roman numerals in the program list), but it's not in E-flat, but rather in Baroque-pitch D-major (sounding like D-flat on a modern piano). What gives???

[@Snuggelbubs1]

@Bach Sampled Well THAT's interesting info - but still, one wonders how we come to have a modern youtube video at THAT pitch. These modern musicians still have to have been reading music in D-major, right? I mean, we don't have full orchestras of instruments tuned to 392 Hz, I'm guessing. Nor would there be much point.

[@VERITS99]

@The MIDI Bach Project Thanks for the enlightenment!

[@SeanChay]

I'm confused, is it originally should be in E-flat or D? Any scholar, please? 😅

[@clashtitans2]

A quick look at the Wikipedia page reveals that there are two versions, the earlier one (1723) in E-flat and the latter (1733) in D.

In my ears this version is D major / BWV 243 instead of E flat / 243a, don't you think?

Anton Kaiser the Tuning does seem to be in baroque D... but I can confirm the notes are of 243a.

[@Snuggelbubs1]
