J.S. Bach - Cantata BWV 79 "Gott der Herr ist Sonn und Schild" (J.S. Bach Foundation)

[@voxpopulivoxdei1155]

It‘s not only music for us. Its a service for HIM.

[@angelaschoene3814]

Diese Kantate liebe ich, weil sie meinen Konfispuch beinhaltet. Mein Lebensmittelpunkt und Kraftquelle. Meine Eltern haben mir da ein wunderbares Geschenk gemacht. Sie suchten ihn 1967 aus. Sehr gut musiziert und dafür danke ich den Künstlern.

[@wernerkeim6582]

war auch mein Konfispruch, aber 1957 und vom Pfarrer "ausgesucht". Ich danke ihm nachträchträglich dafür

[@davidswan3071]

How lovely. The audience even performed well. I love Bach.

[@rickmarti77]

Bach's genius really shines through with this cantata and the Bach Foundation does it justice. Thank you

[@woyzecky]

Perfect performance. Soloists, oboe and singing public. Fabulous ❤️

[@billblair3941]

One of Bach's great choruses. Magnificent, majestic, a great work of art.

[@larrydean4433]

Bach must have had really good musicians when he wrote this one. It is virtuoso workout.

[@walteralvarezperalta6270]

Bach debió ser muy riguroso... no sólo consigo mismo mismo sino con los músicos y el coro

[@anonymusum]

That´s the point. He did not. We have the original performance scores from his "Matthäus Passion" and there are a lot of not corrected write errors in it. That means he couldn´t hear them and that means that his musicians must have been too bad to hear them. But the specialists of Baroque Music play in tempos as if there were prof. orchestras on today´s level all around. And that´s BS.

[@Rik77]

@@anonymusum that's not unique to bach. The dresden orchestra parts often have mistakes in them not corrected. But at the same time, its true that bach often complained about his musicians ability. Having said that, bachs musicians would have been playing in the same style all the time every day. They couldn't have been that bad surely. And they would have been bumped up by a few visiting virtuosos every now and then.

[@anonymusum]

@@Rik77 I never wrote that it´s unique to Bach.

[@dweeb99]

Spectacular! Terrific dancing tempi, wonderful acoustic, glorious musicians all around. Do you suppose Bach as cantor faced the congregation to lead them? What an honor that would have been!

[@PMS1950]

What an absolute masterpiece of counterpoint. Musicians and singers are quite matchless and under such inspired leadership is it any wonder? The tenor -Daniel Johanasson - has a timbre and clarity, which is a joy to hear and the other soloists sing beautifully and stylishly. Certainly one of the finest performances on 'You Tube'.

[@DARDA360]

Couldn't agree more. I was simply swayed by the counterpoint of the first singing bars. What a beautiful work!

[@johnmueter378]

Once again, a fabulous performance from all in this cantata, one I didn't know. Wonderful music!! Thank you, Bachstiftung.

[@javierperez6774]

No se a ustedes pero se me puso la piel de gallina cuando escuche a la gente cantar. Que grata sorpresa. Algun dia miles cantaran al unisono los coros de bach para llenar de luz la tierra

This powerful performance brings tears to my eyes.

Wat een fantastisch idee om "de zaal" hierin te betrekken! Groot compliment voor beide hoornisten (en iedereen die hiermee te maken had/heeft).

[@walteralvarezperalta6270]

Que lindo... que emocionante ver al público cantar el coro del 3er movimiento! Cómo me hubiera gustado cantar con ustedes ahí!!! los aprecio en demasía JSBachstiftung!!! Bachhh!!! Saludos desde Lima

[@gailremp8389]

Oh my..my BFF's husband is from Chimbote in Peru. So real knowledgeable of trying to get out of the airport in Lima to get back to the United States with the pandemic and everything. And this music is beautiful. We are going to sing a part of this in our choir at Redeemer Lutheran this Sunday. And I needed to listen to the music. And our Director David Ludwig said this is the one you need to listen to. I joined the choir a little late. I am a terrible singer. But at least I have joy and enthusiasm. And I offer your peace and blessings from Central Florida this Friday, February 4, 2022. Be safe be careful we need you

[@lexvenirefactum]

[@ollehedstrom3536]

Thank you for this new cantata release. Nice to include the congregation in the choral singing.

[@horstheini5359]

Danke! Großartig! In dieser Zeit so tröstlich und Mut machend. Wie schön wäre es, diese Kantate könnte in der Thomaskirche erklingen (Tränen kullern).( Beim Einlassen in die Nikolai Kirche beim Bachfest standen Sie , Herr Lutz, neben mir.) Weil vom Tablet zum Fernseher streamen möglich ist, stimmt auch die Tonqualität. So kann ich ihre Aufnahmen " genießen". Danke Ihnen und allen Beteiligten.Liebe Grüße aus Leipzig.

[@angelaschoene3814]

Nun danke alle Gott ---trotz allen finsteren Zeiten in dieser Welt. Ich bin froh, dass ich tröstend diese Bachsche Musik hören darf mit den guten Texten.

[@mwnyc3976]

Great job! I hope Maestro Lutz does more cantatas with one-singer-per-part in the choruses -- it works very well!

[@ursulawerren3637]

Sorprendente y gozoso. Muchas gracias por tanta belleza e innovación.

Very approachable cantata. Glorious chorale settings, opening chorus, arias, everything in short. I didn't know it. New!

[@chrischi19]

Beautiful performance, love it! Though one (really small) imperfection: video and audio are not properly synched. Audio is delayed by some 100ms with respect to video. But that's just one minor issue!

The lovely performance is marred by audio engineering issues with balance and mic overload. I'm not experiencing these issues with other videos from the Bach-Stiftung.

Smuk og dejlig musik en nydelse at lutte til .....

[@AdrianGagiu-composer]

Tremendous cantata, one of my longtime favourites, and exquisite performance as usual with this group! However, I feel that the OVPP approach doesn't really fit in this celebratory cantata, a chorus would make overwhelming effect.

[@joseclaudiopaivareis7780]

Excelente!!!👍👍👍

[@handavid6421]

it's music, after all, may it be historically accurate or not, participation as an individual with own's voice and the resulting community is an absolutely valuable practice

[@josephadams2378]

Am I the only person who thinks the second Aria has sort of a Latin-American feel to it?

[@laurentenckell6662]

Great music. OVPP + audience. I guess it can be done in a place like Trogen, with a mainly Protestant public familiar with the hymn (Nun danket alle Gott).

[@rocketsroar1]

I've heard this called "Bach's 9th Symphony."

[@katbullar]

Sublime

[@JordiFranchParella]

Great^3

[@mach1chap]

I don't wish to be churlish about this impeccable performance - so many good things. However, the printed score for this cantata shows two flutes doubling the oboes in the first chorus and, I think, one as an obligato in one of the arias. They have obviously been omitted here. Is there a reason for this? Is it indeed an option, in an authentic performance? Needs clarification. I find the way Miriam Feuersinger bobs up and down as she sings most endearing. There is something mischievous about it, probably not intentional!

[@Bachstiftung]

Bach first performed the cantata on October 31, 1725. Probably in 1730, he changed the instrumentation, doubling the oboes with flutes and using the flute as an obbligato instrument in the alto aria. We have performed the first version of the work.

[@patriciarodriguezmartinez3233]

[@moritzm.5421]

I'm usually a 100% fan of Lutz's great interpretations, but here are a few things that strike me as odd: First of all, I wonder whether a vocal solo interpretation of one of Bach's most powerful choruses is the ideal solution. However, thanks to the excellent acoustics and the equally good soloists, it works relatively well here, even if I personally would have found a real, larger choir better. Then the tempo (an exception with Lutz) in the opening chorus is much too fast, it seemed to me like a caricature of historically informed performance practice. Last but not least, it struck me as strange to hear the famous chorale "Nun danket alle Gott" sung in unison by the 60+ audience. A fun try, but nothing more, even if there are indications that the congregation could have sung the to chorales in Bach`s time. Otherwise, the musical level is exceptionally high especially the two natural horns.

[@SiegfriedHaug]

Ich war bei der Aufführung dabei und auch bei der Einführung vor dem Konzert. Da wurde der Choral vierstimmig geübt und so auch bei der Aufführung gesungen. Und wenn man aufpasst, kann man hören, dass Herr Lutz vor dem Einsatz die vier Töne für das Publikum angibt. Wer Ohren hat zu hören….

[@andrewh273]

lovely to hear it with solo voices, though the tempo is tad too brisk for my taste :)

[@yogoon49]

les voix sont belles, mais je n'aime pas la rythmique, trop rapide

Aside from the opening chorus being entirely too fast to the point of near frantic hysteria, a lovely performance.
