Playing, singing and dancing (the organ) it's the way how Bach praised his God! Halleluja!

[@MrClaviers]

Finally an ensemble that doesn't find it necessary to set a new world speed record with the opening Sinfonia!

[@geiryvindeskeland7208]

MrClaviers, different editions make it difficult for performers. In my score I read «Presto». But I also read that «Presto» is not to be found in the original score.

[@samko59]

This is the finest rendition of this glorious and majestic music that I have ever heard. The Sinfonia is my favorite piece of music of all time. The performance here is just exquisite!

[@richardstark5569]

Wie stark ist nicht dein Zauberton, Herr Bach!!!

[@wielandwittmann9832]

Bach = the voice of God and the music of the angels. 👍👍👍👏👏👏🙋

[@stephenweiss6001]

Amazing that Bach was relatively underappreciated in his day. But that's often how it goes with historical figures of genius--not recognized for it in their own day.

[@carlwolfe8009]

Ms. Mueller is a lady who sings this solo with authority. Same with Mr. Berchtold-- I wish I could be a tenor like him. Blessings to all of you in appreciation of your skills.

[@lejayarielle3877]

Was für eine unglaubliche Gelegenheit, wenn Sie all dieses "musikalische Ensemble" in Ihre Ohren stecken können, um religiös, friedlich, gesammelt in Ihrem eigenen Zuhause zuzuhören. Vielen Dank und einen schönen Tag +Bachstiftung

[@larrymerkle1672]

This performance is extraordinary! Hands down. I've heard so many performances of the piece over the years, many of them very good, even great. But this one, at least to me, is so wonderfully balanced and nuanced. I love the way the baroque brass instruments blend rather than overwhelm, particularly in the opening sinfonia, as so many performances do. What a pleasure to hear, and watch, this ensemble of singers and players. I know I will return to it many times in the future.

[@henrywebster9529]

I love the aria with tenor and violin: Bach is the master of musical dialogue.

[@andreamas2639]

Bach is the Master of everything. He's the Master and Lord of the Universe

[@carlwolfe8009]

@@andreamas2639 Agreed, and the contralto's solo with the beautiful organ accompaniment, moved me.

[@Ipsifendis]

the tempo you have chosen to begin the sinfonia is terrific - you can really move and relax at the same time and the organist doesn't seem to be engaged in a speed contest with the orchestra. in so many recordings and performances of this piece either the organ, the orchestra or both end up taking an already-too-fast beginning tempo to something two notches faster by the end and all the conductor can do is flap his arms faster and faster to match the runaway ensemble. it's not a contest. furthermore the forces employed in the orchestra nicely work FOR the organ and not against it - also in many recordings the organ becomes lost by the end of the sinfonia, resulting too often in what i call the "I'M STILL HERE" final trill of the organ. excellent job.

A beautiful breezy Sunday afternoon, a cup of tea, ginger biscuits and this unbelievably inspiring divinely ordained praise from the incomparable Bach. Life here in Southport Queensland Australia could be better, but not this side of heaven.

Lei, caro Direttore, con tutti i suoi musicisti, ogni volta mi fate piangere... Di Gioia, naturalmente... Ascoltando una tale siblimita' non si può rimanere indifferenti.

Exceptionally beautiful and well-paced performance, thank you.

[@jeighlynn7657]

The Chorus really hits the spot for me, it is like Bach is speaking to me directly.

[@hughgregorywaldock8738]

Oh, that makes me cry! When you've studied J.S. Bach with scholars like them you really do feel it in the gut! It's just great that this wonderful German singing & playing (or Swiss singing) was part of my life too. It makes me feel passionately European. I loved Bach so much when I sang it I just wanted to become a composer, not a singer. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I wanna know how it feels to write over 600 compositions by the end of my life. Just to know what it's like to actually be him. I didn't have it singing countertenor so much as with composition. I really feel it in the gut as a composer, but I had a girlfriend who was a Bach soloist. I studied Early Music in Wuppertal.

[@sylviepierre1942]

Oh merci! Quel réconfort pour un samedi matin français (our saturdays are a bit frightening in France!) de pouvoir s'imprégner d'une musique aussi haute!

Absolutely all time masterpiece from JS Bach!

[@hughgregorywaldock8738]

The thing I love about Bach the most is his organisational skill. I can't believe the amount of things achieved. He wrote more music than anyone else but that wasn't the only string to his bow or the only thing he did with his life. His life was perfect. He didn't have any regrets. He achieved what he set out to do in life. That's why I love him more than any other person. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. He's the ideal male role model for any scholar. He was the greatest musician of all time. He wasn't a joker but he did laugh. I like him for it over 1000 pieces of music, teacher, choirmaster, instrument designer, Tontechniker, 3 wives, 11 children & a legacy 2nd to Jesus Christ. I wanna be him!

[@MidsierramusingBlogspot]

As much as I love Bach, I would put St. Paul ahead of him.

[@ferdiriordan1]

Astonishingly beautiful-thank you Bachstiftung.

[@paulwilson4738]

Very stellar and moving, with strong "shades" of what more masterworks would come, by God's grace in creating one who would be faithful and grateful to the God he knew was the source of ALL that is right and perfect.

[@joachimhelmut8347]

Wirklich grossartig!

[@horste2610]

Gratulation Herr Lutz, Sie sind der erste nach ca. 40 Jahren, der die Sinfonia wieder in einem erträglichen Tempo erklingen lässt, so dass man die muskalische Struktur überhaupt mitbekommt. Auch gut, dass Sie eine "richtige" Orgel verwenden und kein piepsendes Positiv. Kleiner Tipp von mir: Sie hätten dieses angenehme Tempo auch für die Pfingstkantate BWV 34 verwenden sollen. Da haben Sie sich noch vom Leitspruch "je schneller, desto besser" leiten lassen. Den Schlusschoral von BWV 29 nehmen Sie zügig, aber angemessen.

[@pierre-xavierchassot3183]

comme toujours la j.s.bach foundation nous regale d une interpretation parfaite , la diction des chanteurs et claire et net et meme si on ne comprent pas la langue de gohete on appretie . les musiciens bien diriger , on constate que point n et besoin d un orchestre demesurer , ni de beaucoup de chanteur ! bach lui meme ne pouvais rever mieux ! merci a tous : pierre-xavier de chassot

[@franzbuchel7295]

I think in these days J.S. Bach would settle down near the church of Trogen, so he would not miss any of Mr. Lutz performances of his cantatas

[@ferdiriordan1]

Perfectly said.

[@FriendlyCroock]

This version of the sinfonia is awful though. You can't even hear the violins.

[@francoismontagner7149]

A fitting work for a radiant summer day. Bravo to the musicians and kudos to Dr. Lutz for his persistent unraveling of the marvellous Bach cantatas

[@hervedupre7894]

The Sinfonia is absolutely unbelievable. Bach, peer to God. An out of this world being.

[@TheGloryofMusic]

This sinfonia is one of the miracles of the High Baroque period. It is not only a perpetuum mobile (which is common enough), but a true melody constituting one long phrase.

[@adfontesaquarum]

Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais j'aime beaucoup cette version. Probablement, c'est le chef qui a fait de bons choix. Il a choisi de laisser les basses s'exprimer dans la Symphonia à égalité que les violons I. J'ai pu suivre les lignes mélodiques du chœur dans le premier chœur sans difficulté, grâce aux plans sonores bien choisi, un beau travail d'équilbre. Merci pour le beau moment et par la qualité de l'enregistrement.

[@hinnerkdodelsen8943]

This is the original work, "recycled" in the Mass in B minor. Bach never used a church composition for a profane piece, only the other way.

[@matheussouzacosta4027]

Gut, danke!

[@oldionus]

I have often wondered why Bach did not feature the organ as an obbligato instrument in more of the cantatas. This one shows just how effective that can be. Notice that the first chorus (after the concerto like opening movement, also used elsewhere in his work), is the original version of the Gratias Agimus from the great Mass in B minor.

[@MrTendzere]

Organ here is used as a direct praise to God, as a real queen of the instruments. I am also very surprised to hear it in such a way!

[@BerrikoAndonik]

Am besten Kantate von Bach dass habe ich einmal gehört. Ich werte deineren Starken, über die Musik der Eisenacher Composer, einfacher zu Publik zu zeigen. Gut Konzert gemacht, gut gesangt. Alles richtig.

[@AndreaGiustia]

Gedenk an uns mit deiner Liebe -> Son nata a lagrimar (Giulio Cesare) 😄

[@ronwalker4849]

THE SECOND MOVEMENT IS IDENTICAL TO THE MASS IN B MINOR BEING A CATHOLIC MUSIC DEMONSTRATING THAT BACH MADE NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN PROTESTANT AND CATHOLIC MUSIC. MUSIC IS MUSIC.

[@JohnHarutu]

Agreed. But he would have regarded it -in some sense- as "Christian" music. Granted, he sometimes set "sacred" music to "secular" lyrics. But check out one such example: The first movement of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 is the same as the Sinfonia to Cantata No. 174. But in the Sinfonia he adds not only oboes, but horns. And those horns make the music SOAR. There's some kind of transcendence occurring here.
