J.S. Bach: Motet BWV 227 "Jesu, meine Freude" | Vox Luminis, Lionel Meunier, live *4K* concert video

[@rolfpuller1921]

Bachs Kantaten und Motetten auf solche Weise interpretiert zu hören klingt wunderbar - die Interpretation hat theologische Tiefe und die Stimmen in ihrer Klarheit und Schnörkellosigkeit rühren den Zuhörer zutiefst an. Vielen Dank!

[@sirloollonator]

Man bedenke, dass die Interpreten wohl eigentlich nicht deutschsprachig sind!

[@christelrieckmann8420]

Einfach wunderbar gesungen mit tiefen Glaubensinhalt. Danke das habe ich hier oft in der Stadtkirche gesungen wie unser Probst Kramer noch lebte. Leider hat er uns zu früh verlassen aber es war Gottes Wille.Ich habe so viel gebetet aber immer den schwersten Satz gesagt nicht mein sondern Dein Wille geschehe. Dann hat Gott Ihn zu sich für himmlische Aufgaben zu sich gerufen. Wir und seine Familie sind befreundet er bleibt im Herzen. ❤️🙏AMEN

[@aliasreco]

Thanks for your testimony! All trust in Christ! All glory to Him. Shalom.

[@Leonardo-gc5rh]

Each singer is clear about how they must sing in order to achieve perfect harmony, resulting in a flawless choir.

[@adelheidili]

Eine so bekannte Melodie, wie oft sang ich dieses Lied Aber in dieser Aufführung geht es tief ins Herz ❤️ Danke Euch allen für Eure wunderschönen Stimmen. Adelheid aus Vienna

[@marjorielightfoot9875]

With so much wrong in the world, you are such a calm that is needed. Thank you, dear friends.

[@wildfireintexas]

Bach is very deceptive. His music is so pure it seems simple, but even his "practice" pieces he wrote for his students can be challenging. What an amazing talent.

[@tcharles2466]

Classical music lovers - throughout the USA - should be so proud of these amazing musicians!

[@jotapevaldivia]

Wie immer mit J.S. Bach, Wunderschön. Vielen Dank.

[@guylebras9880]

Vox Luminis and Voice of Music. The best of France and the best of United States together at the service of the best of Music: Bach…

[@VoicesofMusic]

We were very happy to hear this concert and also film it :) Vox Luminis is amazing.

[@dominiekschrijvers1424]

France / Belgium ;-)

[@mwnyc3976]

Yeah, they're a Belgian ensemble, properly speaking -- funded by various entities in Wallonia, with offices in Brussels and just outside Namur, and in residence at the concert hall in Bruges. That said, in this lineup of singers I count exactly one Belgian national. (And among the regular members that aren't in this performance, I don't think there are any Belgians, either. Only two Frenchmen in this group, by the way.)

[@guylebras9880]

@@mwnyc3976 yes you are right. Lionel Meunier is Belgian. Thank you for correcting me on this point. But he is also former student of Hugo Reyne. So it is not so wrong to speak about him as a musician with French influence, culture and spirit.

[@mwnyc3976]

@@guylebras9880 Lionel is French, in fact. But the ensemble Vox Luminis is Belgian.

[@maj-lenaskagerlund3118]

I'm crying . And better grades you can't get . As an organist I love Bach and his genius 💕💯🏆

[@williamadolphe7921]

Gorgeous! The Gute Nacht o Wesen, sublime! Bravi!

[@Bigbassdrum60]

One of my favorite chorale/hymns by Bach. Well done. Jesus my Friend and Savior..indeed he is and I am in firm belief that J.S. Bach knew his savior very well.

[@Ednaldo5591]

Bach is very religious, his music is the one that brings us closer to God. Thanks to you "Voices of Music" for another magnificent performance.

[@danabnormal5988]

As I like to say, the best music is a dim echo of Heaven.

[@VoicesofMusic]

Thanks to Vox Luminis!

[@erichodge567]

Truly, Voices of Music is giving the greatest performances of this repertoire that I have ever heard.

[@VoicesofMusic]

Channeling Vox Luminis here--Vox Rox!

[@DavidWillis-pm4dz]

What a blessing to be able to dial up this amazing music at any time.

[@p3deep]

Incredibly divine. The way Bach would’ve wanted it to sound.

[@ТетянаКушко-ы8я]

THANKS! BRAVO! BEAUTIFUL!

[@grahaml3449]

Bach's vocal works are exquisite, whether performed by a choir of hundreds and full orchestra, or here, with just one or two voices per part and a little continuo organ. But for me, this small ensemble version is sublime -- all the parts clearly expressed so that Bach's true genius can be heard, and each performer's voice can shine. Well done!

[@corner559]

Agree except that Bach should never be sung by hundreds or with a full modern orchestra. It should only be played on period instruments and with the number of choir members Bach would have had available to him.

[@christianschwarz1574]

It doesn't get any better than this. Thank you very much.

[@VoicesofMusic]

You're very welcome!

[@hernana6689]

When I was young I sang this motet in my university choir, I know it very well, and this is the best version I have heard in a long time. Wonderful voices, beautiful musicality and a lot of respect for the score. Congratulations! I will listen to it again many times.

[@TINGSTARR]

So uplifting, this.

[@VoicesofMusic]

Agree!

[@DaviddeSilva]

What a sensitive, artful, and vocally pure realization of Bach's motet. Bravi tutti!

[@kariselin2641]

Is it not lovely to be a human being!! Once again- it justifies us to identify our selves with the genius of BACH and people like these performers.

[@isidoremaxence6554]

Ah Bach, on prie avec lui. Très belle interprétation, excellente prise de son, des musiciens inspirés; Bravo.

[@oyvindm1954]

After 4 minutes I heard this was world top quality. For English speaking people German is somewhat difficult, but the pronunciation seems of high quality also. Musical expression and vocal performance were superb. Wonderful. Regards from a Bach-singer in Norway, Europe.

[@VideosCoriaCaceres]

👏👏

[@sirloollonator]

As a German I can confirm that the pronunciation is very accurate!

[@dwergarend1]

Most beautiful performance of this piece I've ever heard! Stunning!

[@VoicesofMusic]

Thank you very much!

[@marichristian1072]

What a beautiful chorales.

[@jvanacker]

As a Fleming, I have heard so many performances of Bach's cantatas in Belgium and the Netherlands. This performance is of the highest quality and testifies to great love for the compositions of Bach and his contemporaries. Thanks for sharing on KZbin. Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium

[@aliasreco]

Bach is evangelizing... Who can reject a happy and clear message like this? Happiness with Jesus.

[@VoicesofMusic]

It's a good one :)

[@Chompchompyerded]

@@VoicesofMusic I have never seen a bad one from VoM. I am particularly grateful for all the music VoM uploads to KZbin because I have progressive multiple sclerosis which has left me paralyzed from the shoulders down and rendered me unable to work. That means I can neither get to concerts, or indeed afford them. While there is nothing which can replace being in person at a performance, watching and listening is a solid alternative. Seeing the things VoM uploads here brightens my life and are among the things which make it worth living rather than a thing to be tolerated and waited out. My heart-felt thanks go out to everyone involved in bringing these videos to your audience. If someone connected with VoM reads this, I would be ever so grateful if you could pass this on to them. I would like them to know just how important they are to at least one life. Please offer them my sincerest thanks and gratitude. Sincerely, Katherine Porterfield

Utterly speechless performance! Each person in this performance resonated their amazing voice to re-create this masterpiece. Bravo! Also I've noticed 2nd lady from left side had foot injury ( I hope it is not serious) and May our True and Living God gives you fast recovery!

[@lulublasz]

In truth, this happened 3 years ago. But, in fact, the rendition of Mrs. Toth is incredible! :)

[@robertbuckland3679]

Zsuzsi can walk again, but the injusry was quite serious and painful. It was a great adventure, since Zsuzsi hurt herself on a hike in Yosemity National Park and got carried downhill into the valley by park rangers... we could write a book about those days, haha...

[@VoicesofMusic]

@@robertbuckland3679 Glad she is OK....

[@Linda-zt2wk]

Absolutely beautiful ...

[@VoicesofMusic]

Thank you! 😊

[@Chompchompyerded]

Lovely. Listening over and over again (modern form of an encore). Worth the wait. It's also excellent from a recording point of view. I can easily make out every note of the inner voices, and it allows me to understand the piece more completely without even seeing the score or part books. Very well done on the part of everyone! I don't have rock stars. I have classical stars, and since my love tends toward the baroque (especially when performed in an academically and historically informed way), it is people in this area of performance who are my stars. This is as good as it gets. Pure chocolate of the highest quality. Unlike chocolate, I can consume as much of this as I want without negatively impacting my health. There is no such thing as aural diabetes, obesity, stroke or heart disease. Thank you so very much, each and every one of you!
