J.S. Bach - Cantata BWV 31 "Der Himmel lacht! Die Erde jubilieret" (J.S. Bach Foundation)

[@edmondzeldin7036]

That magical prolonged silence at the end, when you know that you have been privileged to hear something miraculous.

[@melisandedebussy]

Hermosas sus interpretaciones, llena de humanidad y espiritualidad cristiana, gloria a Dios!

[@edmondzeldin7036]

The sweet pathos of that chorale is heartbreaking, yet uplifting.

[@frillydaffodilly]

Julia Doyle hits it out of the park yet again. Singers take note- this is how Bach should be sung- beautifully nuanced,exquisite phrasing,intonation, agility and humility. Keep your huge wobbly voices for later repertoire. This is perfection.

[@wolfgangroth9171]

Danke dafür, dass Ihr wieder Großartiges geleistet habt. Ein wahres Gegengewicht zu der Zeit, in der wir gerade leben.

Un exemple parfait du dynamisme de Bach, de son souffle, de la régularité de son rythme. Il s'en dégage une irrésistible impression de joie et de puissance.

Young people, smiling faces, good inspiration and a whole life ahead... Bach´s Music will never die. Thanks for this wonderful performance.

Dieu, quelle belle voix de Basse, je suis fan...

[@grahamnancledra7036]

A marvellous and moving performance. I always feel a great satisfaction at the end of the performances of the Bach Stiftung especially when Herr Lutz graciously ensures that all the performers get the acknowledgement from the very appreciative audience.

[@gorgesraulant2133]

Magnifique accord entre trompettes et choeur en entrée de cette cantate.

[@YodoJakamodo]

Great performance. The trumpet descant in the chorale is so incredibly beautiful.

[@matthirt7863]

That trumpet part is heavenly 😊...literally and figuratively. Overall the highest trumpet part in Bach's entire oeuvre, it ascends to the highest scale tone he ever wrote for the instrument (20th harmonic of the natural trumpet). Symbolically, the believer is escorted to heaven by a (trumpet wielding) guardian angel. This symbolism occurs elsewhere in Bach's cantata work (e.g. BWV 19), and we can perhaps speculate that it held a more personal meaning for Bach, given that his own father Ambrosius - whom Bach lost at only 10 years old - was a trumpeter himself. Interestingly, the trumpet part seems to have been added only for the re-performance of this Weimar work on Bach's first Easter in Leipzig (1724). Presumably because the exceptional Leipzig trumpeter Gottfried Reiche was able to perform this stunning part ("practically unplayable", as Rudolf Lutz calls it). One wonders if Reiche, some 20 years Bach's senior, might have reminded the latter of his late father.

¡Millones de gracias por este regalo de Semana Santa! No se imaginan cuánta alegría y emoción producen en nuestros corazones las cantatas de Bach. Como cristiano disfruto mucho de Bach hasta me hace llorar a veces. Los quiero mucho amigos suizos de Bachstiftung. Esta cantata es bellísima, las trompetas de Bach son de un sonido especial, siento que así debe de ser la majestad y humildad del Cielo. Se nota a leguas que Bach amaba mucho a Dios. Saludos desde Lima

[@luchoazulreyes6082]

[@Bachstiftung]

Wonderful and many, many thanks.

[@stavrosvenizelos610]

After listening, one after another, Rudolf Lutz's Bach Cantatas, I come to the conclusion that his interpretations rank among the most satisfying. Balanced choice of tempi and phrasing, naturalness, simplicity and deep understanding and affection for Bach's music. Add to this a superb playing and singing by all the performers. The setting of the church and the layout of the orchestra, soloists and choir is also well thought. English subtitles are essential for non-German speakers. Thank you JS Bach Foundation for the exquisite gift.

[@pianobern69]

Genial

[@pedroluzdivina2355]

I love so much when herr Lutz, at 14.47, warns to first violin... Wonderful...🥰🥰🥰

[@music_text]

Felicidades, Bachstiftung!" Maravillosa interpretación (como todas, según mi parecer 😊) Desde Music&Text celebramos el estreno de esta cantata con los subtítulos incorporados por primera vez. Ya hay 80 cantatas con subtítulos sincromizados opcionales. Trabajamos para una mejor comprensión de la música cantada.

[@blancagoerlich]

Gracias a los autores de los subtítulos que nos permiten disfrutar aun más de esta maravillosa Cantata. Aunque aun sin subtítulos todos podemos oir esas celestes risas al principio. Divino Bach.🎶🎵🙏

[@music_text]

Muchísimas gracias por tu comentario, María Nieves. Acabamos de crear una nueva "playlist" con las intervenciones de Stephan McLeod subtituladas (kzbin.info/aero/PLk8lf2IHuDQk5JNJw56VmaAIj4ZvyonOD), con cinco cantatas, que serán 9 o 10 dentro de poco tiempo.

Cantata del Domingo de Pascua... A veces me pregunto si el "tempo" a la velocidad es así? Muy rápido... Lo bueno que hay varias interpretaciones para todos los gustos... Tengo la partitura y trato de seguirlo y me quedo atrás... Corren más qué San Pedro y San Juan al Sepulcro Vacío. Gracias.

[@walteralvarezperalta6270]

A Bach le gustaba tocar muy rápido. En el barroco la velocidad era mayor que ahora. El canon original de Pachelbel es rapidísimo por ejemplo, me desespera el barroco lento. Saludos

[@rocketsroar1]

It's always seemed to me that here Bach tries to imagine what the laughter of a god would sound like... the problem being that such laughter should be absolutely terrifying!

[@stephenlee1756]

Bach's God is a joyful, dancing god, full of understanding and forgiveness. I'm almost tempted into belief!

[@ifyouloveChristyouwillobeyhim]

Repent of your sins and believe in Jesus Christ, on whose shoulders God has put dominion of the world.

Wow. Other versions could barely keep on pitch at a moderate pace and this chior is blazing through the piece twice as fast and yet still sounding twice as good! Unglaublich schön! Absolutely spotless match of words - die Himmel lacht - with sounds - rapid "ahahaha"-ing. ;) Wunderbar.
