JUST ABSOLUTELY GEORGEOUS MUSIC. I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO BACH SINCE 14 AND NOW AT 72 IT SEEMS LIKE ALL NEW AT 72, AND STILL FILLING ME WITH MORE RICHNESS EVERY YEAR.

Non so più che dire quando ascolto queste pagine sublimi, ringrazio Dio di avermi portato ad amarle e lo farò finché avrò vita. Grazie adorato Bach

[@DSR299]

I want to thank those who provided the English translation in the Transcript and on the screen. For me, I can better appreciate the words being sung. (I love the beautiful sounds of the period instrumental Flutes. Their sound fills my mind with a calming peace. Such beauty.)

[@bach25hc]

Enfin des trompettes baroques qui envoient la sauce! Et merci aussi à tous les autres, chanteurs et musiciens, leur chef dynamique. C'est très beau. Mais surtout ne pas oublier toute ma grande admiration et même bien plus que cela à Mr J.S BACH, qui me rends si heureux à chaque fois que j'écoute toutes ces belle cantates festives.

Who gives such a blessed music a dislike must be from the underworld.

[@Julian7318]

One of Bach's shorter cantatas - around 20 minutes - yet its impact is immense. The two choruses are mighty, totally compelling edifices while the alto aria is one of the most beautiful, tender pieces he ever wrote. I love all the cantatas but I keep coming back to this one for emotional uplift!

[@mosheknoll1603]

Another outstanding video from Bachstiftung! This channel is my absolute favorite for Bach Cantatas. Margot Oitzinger is truly extraordinary!

One of the greatest performances of a Bach cantata i have heard in 50 years of listening to them. Simply stunning.

I've never entered these conversations before but must say that herr Lutz and all of his colleagues are wonderful beyond words

[@marckg6950]

Just getting into Bach, and not musically adept. But every little thing seems incredible in this work. Past 6 months listened to hundreds of JSB out of order. Now listening to bwv. In order. And here I am #34! Your comment guide me thanks

THE PUBLIC ALWAYS APPLAUDS FOR GOOD OR BAD MUSIC EQUALLY. THE PUBLIC ARE MOSTLY DUMB SHEEP AND ALREADY HALF ASLEEP.

[@mach1chap]

@@TITOMARTINOJAZZETC. No tiene nada que ver con la nacionalidad, al menos en este caso (no soy suizo). Influyen dos factores: estas grabaciones se realizan en más de una sesión. Las personas disponibles para foro son forzosamente mayores, es decir jubiladas. El segundo es simplemente la otra cara de la moneda: en gran parte del mundo esta música es hasta despreciada por las generaciones más jovenes. Es lo mismo en salas de conciertos. Todos esperamos que madurezcan, pero tarda en ocurrir., si es que ocurra siquiera. Las únicas excepciones a esta tendencia son las naciones orientales. En conciertos de clásica en Londres (mi patria) los jovenes entre el público parecen ser todos de China o Japón. Y fijese como se adula en China a Lang Lang. Nada parecido en Europa. De Norteamérica no lo sé (Edward Cooper, él de los castillos)

Bach-music from another planet. As he himself said -"Music is for the glory of God and refreshment of the soul" Soli Gloria Deo. Thank you all at Bach Foundation-stunning as ever..

[@piper9273]

Zweifellos eine der schönsten, festlichsten, wunderbarsten Kantaten Bachs, dargeboten von einem einzigartigen Orchester, tollen Solisten (Margot Oitzinger singt einfach ergreifend schön!) und einem transparenten, voluminösen Chor! Ich weiß nicht, wie oft ich mir dieses Video nun angesehen habe - es ist einfach fantastisch. Wenn man dies dann noch mit den Erläuterungen aus dem humorvollen Workshop hört, wird die Musik zu gesungenen Predigt oder zum gesungenen Gebet - besser, schöner und beGEISTernder geht es nicht. Ein großes Dankeschön an alle Musikerinnnen und Musiker für diese grandiose Leistung!

[@frenchimp]

Wenn es im Leben eine Wahrheit gibt, die es sich um jeden Preis lohnt zu begreifen, dann ist sie sicherlich in dieser Kantate eingeschreint.

Herr Lütz, you are *amazing*! This performance is superb.
