Favorite Bach Piece? | Bach - Cantata Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme | Classical Music Reaction

[@ssoomee]

The Netherlands Back Society is MY FAVE! Their interpretations are f*cking CRISP.

[@SinoSene]

Lol that's a very accurate description😂! I only want to listen to their recordings of Bach. Dont need any other.

[@giannottister]

Bach's cantatas are undoubtedly one of the greatest miracles of art.

[@ramanattri3937]

Every bach piece you ever decide to listen to please let it be from these people( Netherlands bach society). They are just perfect

[@andrewhcit]

They are for *most* Bach. I'm not a big fan of their performance of the Double Violin Concerto on KZbin. But for just about everything else by Bach they're among the best.

[@MrYuryZ]

When it comes to Bach's Cantatas, Oratorio and other vocal works I'd also recommend Bachstiftung KZbin channel. They are just as good!

[@kaysonpiano]

Yessss i second this comment 1000%

[@Nooticus]

Bachstiftung is far better in my personal opinion!

[@andrewashdown3541]

@@Nooticus I go with Masaaki Suzuki - I have his 55 CDs of church cantatas as well as some of the seculars. The other version I would recommend is Philip Herreweghe & Collegium Vocale Gent.

There is not much better than Bach. As a kid, I was fascinated by Switched On Bach. That is where my Bach fascination started about 60 years ago. Mike in Oz

Genau wie bei mir ...Das war " richtige" Musik !

[@lmergenti]

As a keyboard and piano jazz musician, I always return to Bach. With Bach you find an endless source of surprise and inspiration. The inner lines, subtle tonalities, modal changes, and disonances combine to form a whole that transcends it's parts.

[@jensnitsche4994]

Die Musik von Bach hat eine ähnliche Struktur wie Jazz, er wäre in der Neuzeit ein genialer Jazzmusiker geworden. Leider wurden ihm diese Harmonien natürlich niemals bekannt. Ich würde heute gerne ein Jazzstück von Bach hören, mit dieser Kraft, Raffinesse und dennoch dem Gefühl der Versöhnung...Übrigens, viele Musikwissenschaftler versuchten den " Bachcode" zu entschlüsseln, bis heute ohne Erfolg.

[@sillyradiodemon1]

The St.John Passion by them is also fantastic, you should give the piece a listen, especially the chorales, they are Soo good in that piece,it's just perfect!

[@georgepantzikis7988]

If you like this you will love Bach's St Matthew Passion. If you don't want to react to the whole piece - it is rather long - you should react to 'Erbarme dich mein Got'. One of the most beautiful pieces.

[@davikersulks9525]

That one is fucking awesomee, the bach's st matthew passion

[@saldana7395]

[@geronimo6377]

The trumpet in this very good performance is a so-called slide trumpet (Tromba da tirarsi) from the 17th century, which was used to play chromatic tone sequences in middle pitches. The instrument could not establish itself and was later mostly replaced by the soprano trombone towards the end of the 17th century, but this instrument also remained a marginal phenomenon. The introduction of valve technology on trumpets and horns from the early 19th century was a very important improvement in the playing possibilities of these brass instruments.

[@thethikboy]

Like all Bach pieces - it pierces my soul as though shot from heaven itself. And of course, the Nederlands do him to perfection.

[@FirstGentleman1]

Nice, your first Bach Kantata. This is great. My favorite is BWV 106 "Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit"

[@andrewashdown3541]

Rather doleful though - my first ever cantata - which converted me, opened my eyes, so to speak - was BWV 63

[@jensnitsche4994]

Bach.... Strenge, Härte, Struktur, musikalische Mathematik und dennoch die Aussicht auf Frieden und Versöhnung, die das Herz erreicht.

[@sylvainelouisemarie6117]

Genau.

[@sylvainelouisemarie6117]

Merci pour cette écoute. On est déjà presque au ciel. Comme toujours avec Bach. Cette pièce est somptueuse.

[@2bravomike]

A beautiful moment between the Soprano and Oboist at 1:30

[@rosshart9514]

Original video is not available any more. Does anyone knows the soprano singer? Her voice is so clear and clean, perfect tone and perfect pitch!

[@UlimorUdamenta]

Lovely of you to react to this channel!! They have quality content and very informative documentaries about the pieces they play! Also, just a bit of info, during the duet after the intro and recicative, the violinist plays on what is called a "Violino Piccolo". It's tuned slightly higher than a normal violin and is slightly smaller. 😊

[@miosakkinen4619]

I recommend motet komm, Jesu, komm, BWV 229. It is truely beautiful and quite short.

[@ariseaman390]

Bach rocks! 🤘🤘🤘 And other baroque composers rock as well. 🤘🤘🤘

[@TheStruggleUK.]

Hello my friend from the UK 😊 Wachet auf is something I listen to at least once a week. This is a lovely period performance but my favourite recording is the well known Richter/Bach orchestra and choir of the mid 1960's. I highly recommend it, it's an almost unreal other world sound due to the powerful forces he has at his disposal. Keep up the great work comrade 😊

[@ugoalbion7141]

Bravo Gidi

[@MichaelYoder1961]

There's a saying "When god is at work the angels sing Bach, when he's resting the angels sing Mozart." This is a great cantata. You'd like the Sinfonia to Cantata 29, And the Mass in B minor - long but worth it

[@ron88303]

One of my favorite Bach vocal pieces is his motet, "Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied" (BWV 225). It's in three parts and about 16 minutes long. I strongly recommend you listen the version by the RIAS Kammerchor and Akademie fur Alte Music Berlin, conducted by Hans-Christoph Rademann. You can find it on KZbin, and it has (at least to me) the best sound quality compared to other versions.

[@L_S_Barros]

you should watch bach's coffe cantata, its like a mini-opera but with a funny thene

[@Eduardo-yj5cd]

You can also listen to it in an organ version. (BWV 645, played by Peter Hurford) Thank's!!!

[@Staunomat]

[@thomashaase8746]

HI your Face is speechless. thank you .

[@markharder3676]

Thanks for playing this for us. I've never heard the piece with English translations before. Bach's music has been a lifelong love of mine. Some things I appreciate about this piece: The rock steady pulse in the orchestral/choral sections feels so much like a walking or marching pulse. What is this supposed to be? Jesus' footsteps as he approaches us? The piece derives it's drive, I think, from that steady walk throughout. I've never understood Bach's metaphor of the 'bridegroom' (brautige). He uses it over and over in his sacred pieces. I suppose the bridegroom is Christ. But why the wedding metaphor, exactly? And the allegory of the wise and foolish virgins, again the bridegroom approaching the bride, but most of the virgins are not ready. This is another trope in Bach's (Lutheran?) lyrics, the watchers waiting in the dark, but just what is waited for is never explicitly told. I suppose that again, this is the arrival of Christ. The second coming? I was raised a Lutheran, but these fine points of allegorical theology were never taught to me.

I'll be blasphemous here and say try the opening chorus bumped up a bit in speed - ignore the words - treat it like a sinfonia with voices - and some real joy and dancing emerges. Terribly naughty of me - but I dare you.
