Amazing to see and now understand the enormously involved and detailed preparations with each performance. I now at least understand a little bit how come all these performances are of such high quality ! An extra Thank You from me to all at Bachstiftung! Greetings from a loyal fan from Sydney in Australia !

This is a wonderful and interesting video. Thank you so much. I can see all the hard work and passion that goes into just one performance. To each and everyone: Thank you.

[@cdelga1666]

Very good video. Thanks for this. It is always good to see people putting things together that know their stuff inside out. I appreciate the work you are doing and you are the finest representatives of our JS Bach!!!

[@Bachstiftung]

Dear Mr Augusto. Thank you very much for your feedback. We appreciate it a lot. Kind regards

[@mozgren]

An excellent insight into these wonderful performances and recordings.

[@wakefulday]

Very cool :) It's really nice to see your work and dedication. It's a dream of mine to listen Bach's cantata in live performance.

[@infledermaus]

Outstanding! Bach is my hero! It is wonderful to see his work performed in such a detailed manner with so much love, attention and devotion! Thank you for sharing!

[@Tiger5720]

Beautiful performance!Beautiful stuff!

[@soundknight]

Interesting that it wasnt done in Eisenach or Leipzig, Bach didnt leave that area more then a few times. But Switzerland is very beautiful. Its great insight into how it is achieved, now not only the music leaves me in awe also does the technical production.

[@Bachstiftung]

Thank you, Mr. Cullen. We're happy that you liked this video.

Wunder, wunderbar, - schön und lich!! Freue mich jede Monat

[@dandews5513]

Very interesting and enjoyable. I’m glad you described the unusual number of microphones and the editing in detail. Your recordings balance the voices and the various instruments wonderfully for maximum clarity, to the benefit of Bach's polyphony. I believe you are setting a new standard for Bach cantata recordings. The result must be better than what the audience or the performers hear-more like what the conductor hears. Maybe close to what Bach heard in his head when he composed the work? Thank you Bach-Stiftung!

[@gollycondas]

I just sent an old friend who is mostly into blues and rock a package of 8 disks of Bach cantatas, she likes them!! So rewarding! KDM

[@Bachstiftung]

We hope it were disks of the J. S. Bach Foundation ;-) Regards

[@gollycondas]

Bachstiftung Sorry, J.E. Gardiner's cantata cycle. Last time I looked your disks were still very expensive here in the US. Like the performances on UTube. KDM

[@Bachstiftung]

Kenneth Masters Hi Kenneth. Did you know that you can also download them on platforms like Amazon or iTunes?

[@gollycondas]

Bachstiftung Thanks, I do not use any downloaded music. KDM

Magnífico trabajo. Muchas gracias a todos

[@yaobrao]

What piece does this video begin with?

[@Athicuz]

what is the name of the music at 23:49???? is so beautifull!!

[@easter.bunny.6]

May I ask where do you get funds? And I really want to do things like you did in China, but I have no fund at all. I will try to compose cantatas in Bach's style in the future.

[@pierreb9852]

What is the cantate we can hear at the very beginning of the video ?

[@wkruit]

What's the theme in the beginning of the clip?

[@AdrienO]

Très intéressant et bien fait, magnifique travail

[@Bachstiftung]

Merci beaucoup!

[@naranjovoiceover]

I would love to see the spanish version online! Is it planned to upload it any time soon?

[@Bachstiftung]

Hi there. For the moment, we haven't planned a Spanish version. As you surely can imagine, a production of a translated version is very cost-intensive, that's why we can't offer everything. Kind regards

[@naranjovoiceover]

Bachstiftung I am asking, because I have recorded the spanish voice over in march at Gallus Media in St. Gallen and was looking forward to see the finished product. Best Regards and congrutatitions on your work!

[@Bachstiftung]

Hallo again. You are absolutly right. We'll upload it very soon. Kind regards

[@Bachstiftung]

Hola Manuel: El vídeo ya está subido! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3ysd5yFfNx-n9U&feature=gp-n-y&google_comment_id=z12ptzz5upvxulrbi04cjx1hkl2sthpwrlk0k

[@naranjovoiceover]

Gracias!

[@farmerjamesfergus]

Hello - thank you so much for this video from England ! However, I would LOVE the video without the English voice over (I am a immediate learner in German) is this possible? Thank you so much ! Danke !

[@Bachstiftung]

You're welcome. Yes, we will upload the German version as well - it's in German. Kind regards

[@Bachstiftung]

[@j-md-v8376]

Hélas! je ne comprends pas l'allemand, ni d'ailleurs l'anglais. Est-il possible d’avoir une traduction en français? Merci d'avoir l'amabilité de me répondre.

[@Bachstiftung]

Bonjour. Malheureusement il n'existe pas de traduction française pour cette vidéo. Toutefois, nous venons d'activer les contributions de la communauté, ce qui signifie que chacun peut créer de nouveau sous-titres et qu'une version française peut donc être élaborée par les internautes.

Makes you wonder about bach’s own performances. He would write the piece first of the week...get together his pupils and family and copy parts towards the end of the week....rehearse on Saturday...perform on Sunday. Just the kids singing who went to the school he was cantor and the players he had at his disposal. Bach’s sons said that he rarely had the musical forces he really needed at his call. You see all this prep....musicians had music for a month...pro singers...the best instruments...everything Bach never had....no catering,no lights, no sound system no pro singers....I have often just wondered what the original performances sounded like. The fact that there is no boy choir is for sure that the sound of these performances would sound nothing like Bach heard.
