Herreweghe: Bach - Herr Gott, dich loben alle wir, BWV 130 (Collegium Vocale Gent)

[@ollehedstrom3536]

Great upload! More of this, please! The most important body of music ever= Bach’s cantatas. Thanks!

[@GianlucaCagnaniJSBGLORY]

Collegium vocale Gent, best Bach choir EVER. Herreweghe best Bach conductor EVER. After 45 years as organist and harpsichordist I made my choice. Definitely, Herreweghe-Collegium vocale Gent. Grazie infinite!

Non se è più bello il suono calante e debole degli strumenti d'epoca, il fatto che suonino tutto staccato, il timbro ridicolo del controtenore o i versi e le movenze degli strumentisti dei complessi barocchi odierni. E anche a livello di tecnica organistica interpreti come Koopman, Suzuki o Leonhardt non possiedono lo stessa tecnica degli organisti del passato o di quelli odierni romantici. Fernando Germani, Daniel Chorzempa, Karl Richter o Jean Guillou davano programmi molto più complessi di Koopman, suonando tutto a memoria.

[@Schleiermacher1000]

Yes, but R. Lutz and "Ba chstiftung" is better.

[@Xxxxxxx-i7o]

@@Schleiermacher1000 Karl Richter was and still is the best. He had in his orchestra the best instrumetalists of Berliner Philarmoniker, Wiener and the major orchestras in Munich of the period. Plus he worked with the best vocal soloist of that period (Fischer-Dieskau, Gundula Janowitz, Fritz Wunderlich and other singers). This musicians played a vast repertoire, from Baroque to the New Music, not like the Baroque who played only Baroque music.

[@consti1873]

@@Xxxxxxx-i7o Richter isn't the best, he probably was at his time but for today's standards he isn't even top 5.

[@Xxxxxxx-i7o]

@@consti1873 richter worked with the best vocal and instrumental soloists. Many of this great soloist performed also Romantic and late romantic music, that is more diffciult to play. I don't care about historic performance. History belongs to museum.

God I Love this Rendition!!! I Have Never Heard a Performance of this Great Cantata where the notes were Sustained at the end of each Stanza of The Final Chorus!!! What A Great Revelation This Is!, As It Adds So Much More Power, and Closure, to The Very Triumphal Conclusion to this Monumental Composition!!!!!!!

[@herrickinman9303]

except that's not what the fermata in a chorale signify.

[@consti1873]

As much as i like his interpretations, when watching Herreweghe conduct i can understand why some non-musicians don't get what a conductor is doing😅

[@saidtoshimaru1832]

Great! Michael crashes the dragon.

[@marcogiusti1358]

La cantata e' festiva dovrebbe anche essere festosa, non si ha questa impressione ne' ascoltando ne' vedendo

[@annamcancarini6953]

Sure, with this faux neo baroque style and fake ancient instruments it is a vegetarian Bach. Google Karl Richter to listen to a glorious Bach!

According different musicologists, Telemann was the first who introduced the exchange of the first voice from soprano to tenor or bass voice. Telemann followed the model given by Rosenmüller about the alternation of voices according the demands of the liturgical texts and the desire of the composer to be more expressive (edited from exclusive) and innovative. Bach of course, was permeable to the innovations given by his in time colleagues. Not by mere considerations, he was a great experimentalist in music!

[@polyphoniac]

I think you meant 'amenable', not "permeable".

[@eternafuentedeluzdivina3189]

@@polyphoniac mmm... I was thinking that Bach was acting as he received all the information very receptive, but with desire to learn by himself; because at that time, the education was very different. To find a real good teacher was like a needle in a haystack. And to find more skillful composers/musicians than him, it was like to find sets of holy grails!

[@frenchimp]

@@polyphoniac I'd say he was avid to learn and experiment... he was a true researcher.

[@herrickinman9303]

@@eternafuentedeluzdivina3189 _Permeable_ means "allowing liquids or gases to pass through it." You mean _receptive,_ not "permeable." I have no idea what you mean by "the exchange of the first voice from soprano to tenor or bass voice." That could mean passing a fugue subject or motif from voice to voice in a choral fugue. In any case, Telemann was surely not the first composer to choose voices according to the text. This was an expressive feature of Italian opera in Bach and Telemann's time, and virtually all German composers of church music in Bach's day used the expressive conventions of opera in their church music. (German composers of church music were already choosing voices based on the text before Telemann was born!) Bach, Telemann and Haendel were all born in 1680s, all studied music at the same Latin school, and were all influenced by the conventions of Italian opera. Bach attended the opera from time to time on his visits to Dresden, which was at that time the Italian opera capital of Germany. A sophisticated listener in Bach's day would have recognized the expressive operatic conventions he used in his church music. Telemann was born just 4 years before Bach. He was NOT Bach's teacher. Bach, like Telemann, was essentially self-taught. Bach's early compositional style was influenced by North German masters of the previous generation and by the _stylus phantasticus._ Later, when the Italian concerto became fashionable in Germany, Bach, like other German composers of his day, was influenced by the Italian concerto.

[@lisaragsdale1530]

@@herrickinman9303 Telemann was born in 1681, not 1685. J S Bach, Handel and D. Scarlatti were all born in 1685. Bach was interested in Buxtehude!
