Was für eine schöne Interpretation des Schlußchorals von Rosenmüller... Kompliment!

[@Bachstiftung]

Danke für das Lob!

[@aliasreco]

Thanks to the covid time. Working from home (way better speakers than at work) 200 cantates from Bach can easily keep me happy.

[@luigilieto3917]

❤❤❤

[@petersucher5466]

Den Schlußchoral habt Ihr überirdisch schön gesungen.

[@gerhardweber3640]

Einfach unbeschreiblich schön

[@muhsinkanadikirik678]

J.S BACH forever!..👍👏❤🎼❤🌹🎻🎺❤

[@zigosepalum5641]

Le choral final est d'une puissante intensité, admirablement restituée.

[@rjwusher]

The bass aria is outstandingly beautiful and sung perfectly by Markus Volpert in this performance.

[@janschultz5475]

Fabelhaft und tief beeindrückend

[@francoisbloch7772]

Quel plaisir, musique céleste et interprétation exceptionnelle !

[@rjwusher]

Recorded 20 August of this year. A concert from the future! I always knew déjà vu was real.

[@janabrazeal9898]

Ausgezeichnet! Danke sehr!

[@juliencaron3264]

Merci pour cette cantate prémonitoire en l'époque que nous vivons. La direction, orchestre et chanteurs atteignent la perfection. Interprétation magistrale. Mon Cher Rudolf, vous avez des contacts privilégiés avec le Kantor.

Amo esta música. Me encanta

Thank you

Bravo, bravissimo!

Today is February 18, 2022. JS Bach was good in the past, he is good in the present and also in the future, as shown here (concert on August 20, 2022).

Marvelous music played fantastically. Although in the opening chorus/recitative i prefer the "solo" parts to be sung by solosts, I must say this works just fine. Love the arias and especially the final choral.

[@ugolomb]

Bach probably expected the whole thing to be sung soloists -- not just the so-called "solo" parts. Normally I enjoy it very much both ways (i.e., with concertists only or with a choir in the modern sense); but here, I'd prefer it in the original scoring.

[@phwbooth]

Splendissime! Thanks.

[@ruthchenp]

Gänsehaut!

[@larrydean4433]

Thankyou, nice to see many of the original folks still with you.

[@jolexor]

I share your opinion, the stability is certainly a sign the climate must be good inside this ensemble, despite the huge work to carry out for each cantata.

[@patrickvanrhedenborg6784]

Very nice, that short interlude in the choral! Reminded me of Monteverdi's in his Maria Vesper.

[@guillermocordoba7579]

en realidad RUDOLF gran director no solo nos deleito con esta y esta en especial cantata sino nos llevo al renacimiento barroco con su coral final, tambien a la hermosa irlanda con maravillosa suspicacia

[@XesFiz]

Suspicacia o perspicacia? Un coral luterano nos lleva a Irlanda?

[@theonion7]

Amazing. Loved the interpretation of the opening chorus

[@TheTomasz1960]

Danke sehr!

[@gfhit7520]

interesting choice of making the section of the choir to sing the recitativos in the middle of the first choir instead of the soloists. I actually prefer the latter because it gives more dimension and differs the two parts (I like the idea of individuals within a congregation giving their own point of view among the crowd). Apart from that, very muscular performance, which is nice on a cantata that can be a bit sedate in the execution. Lutz clearly went for the theatre here, see for example the long harpsichord flourishing before the tenor recitativo. Also excellent idea to use a more extended version of the final chorale (is it the Rosenmüller version?), which gives the piece an archaic taste.

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser kompakten doch perfekt komponierten Kirchenkantate mit gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors und herrlichen Stimmen vierer genialen Solisten sowie gut vereingten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Originalinstrumente. Der ernsthafte und erfahrene Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Barockorchester im angemessenen Tempo und mit angenehmer Dynamik. Wahrlich hörenswert!

[@jondybrodie5912]

Lovely flowers !

[@nyckolaus]

magnificent

excelente comentario zigosepalum

[@gloriapatri7631]

바흐칸타타 잘 듣습니다

[@benjaminsmith3657]

It is not my favorite, but the choral seemed very soothing.

[@stephanieiv1163]

Listening to this on the brink of war. Very bleak.

[@steveistheman84]

That D in the bass at 1:45 is jacked. Which manuscript includes that?

[@loganfruchtman953]

6:27

[@andreasweil5237]

Der eingebaute Vorhalt g im Alt in Takt 35 des Eingangschores ergibt Quintparallelen zusammen mit dem Bass. Hat das eine theologische Bewandtnis?

[@jolexor]

le choral sonnerait presque comme une polyphonie renaissance ...

[@pokerandphilosophy8328]

En effet. Dans le style d'un madrigal anglais. Bach n'empoyait pas souvent ce style!

[@qoe34q]

Le choral final est originellement de Johann Rosenmüller (1619?-1684). Bach l'intègre dans cette cantate.

[@petershapiro4247]

excellent technically perfect workmanlike but incredibly boring performance unfortunately they do not realize that the words are secondary to the musical phrases....bach was paid for the words as it were, but above all he was bach revealing something way beyond the religious words..
