Núria Rial has a marvelous voice, pure, straight, all I love !

[@grahamnancledra7036]

Oh how I wish I was closer to Europe and have the chance to attend just a few of these performances. These are truly wonderful. A word of praise for the organist too I think, and also to the very excellent bass, Sebastian Noack.

The organist is Jörg-Andreas Bötticher ( You can find him on YT ) :D

Nuria Real electrifies an already outstanding performance of this exquisite music. The final duet is completely overwhelming in its complexity and beauty. Thank you God for Bach. In these dark times he brings us closer to Heaven.

[@howardchasnoff208]

I agree. the two are superb. Incidentally I notice in the last movement the soprano stands near the organ player. It's not a duet since she provides the chorale melody. She moves to the background.

[@ZenKingscom]

These dark times? So, is it going to get darker and darker ..?!

[@danal81]

No such thing as “heaven”.

[@danal81]

@@ZenKingscom why would “dark times” suggest it is gonna get even darker?

[@ZenKingscom]

@@danal81 because as times go by developments do progress. My question was more towards the dark times themselves in an ironical manner. Do we have dark times and if so why?

This video uploads quite regularly after I have played my own (and forgot to switch off at the end). They are sooo much more finished than my own efforts on "Miliggi Uploads"...Chapeau everyone!

[@ChrisBreemer]

Another heart-warming production of this priceless channel. Bach’s genius soars mightily in the closing duet aria (and elsewhere of course, but this aria takes my breath away). Nuria Rial is such a wonderful soprano, and the bass is vey good too. I love Lutz’ vivid and elegant conducting. And all players are fantastic. How Bach would have loved to hear this, I wonder what thes cantatas sounded like in his time, with sometimes mediocre players and instruments. A pity that sound and are slightly out-of-sync. If you watch a singer this is quite disruptive. Does anyone know what exactly that lady does who occasionally helps the organist ? Pressing some keys/levers/buttons ?

[@andreamundt]

She works the register stops.I think the original composition needs a real organ with at least two keyboards ( for the solo parts and accompaniment. ) :O)

[@Ferdangelo-b-sdnmo]

Amo escuchar a Nuria real..

Ich frage mich immer: Wo nehmen sie in der Ostschweiz so viele Talente her? Neben Herrn Lutz, dem man nicht genug für seine Arbeit danken kann, sind so viele Erstklassige Musiker und Sänger versammelt, daß ich mich frage: Warum nur, warum so viel geballte Expertise auf so kleinem Raum? Es ist müßig, darüber nachzudenken. Es ist einfach großartig.

I don't know German, but this fine work is about the gala wedding feast where Christ receives with joy his Church decked out as a bride who has been purified and perfected by the action of God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, to be joined in bliss forever, with the bride being in gratitude unbounded !

[@Luboman411]

I don't know Christianity--God bless my parents, they tried to cram all of that superstition into my head during endless Sunday school sessions, to no avail. But I will agree with you on this--this music is inspired by something otherworldly, soars triumphantly to the heavens, and unites you, a true believer, and me, a non-believer. That is the power of consummate, beautiful art. :D

[@paulwilson4738]

@@Luboman411 Yes, we are both great appreciators of the consummate, beautiful art - as you express that very well - but let's also come closer together by recognizing that great beauty such as Bach's, and even those who perform this great stuff (I'll posit) are given ability to unlock the truth of the great Author-behind-the-scenes, who is the only Source of magnificent Truth, of which Beauty is a part. Judeo-Christianity is the best explanation of reality. :P

[@frenchimp]

@@paulwilson4738 I'd say the beauty of a piece like this stands well above our personal beliefs or convictions. Let's open our minds and our souls to this beauty, without trying to instrumentalize it.

[@m.p.3014]

Bravo! Was für ein köstlicher Musikgenuss!

[@pjoseph1658]

I am Catholic. Once, Lutheran---as my parents were from Finland. But I must say, Bach is number one, for me. Simply the greatest of all composers. His cantatas are so full of joy and hope. And I LOVE Sibelius! Yet, even so, Bach is untouchable. He is entirely in his own remote, even cosmic, sphere, supreme in the "music of the spheres". It has been said to me that Bach received inspiration from the planets: specifically, Jupiter, in fact. A connection which Bach received from the "Being" (---"Beings"----), there, that was (is) coordinate with the Intelligence and Mind of the Universe. Music of Logos. There is no HIGHER.

[@pjoseph1658]

The most human face of music, humanist, humane, the apogee of human genius---is without question, Mozart. But, even, Glenn Gould did not like Mozart, very much; and considered him somewhat vulgar; and he was especially critical of, what was: Mozart's hedonism; in his own words, Glenn Gould called Mozart, "hedonistic". As do I. Mozart's being the greatest human genius, aside. For Glenn Gould, as it is for me---Bach reigns SUPREME. He is the ULTIMATE, the SUMMIT, in all of music. He channeled GOD. In contrast, Mozart was a Freemason, and a Rosicrucian. He was a Gnostic and esotericist; and, I beg: occultic, Satanic. There is something deeply, dark, and disturbing---even, demonic---in his music. Listen to Mozart's 'Requiem". "The Magic Flute" is an allegory based on the Rites of Masonry. It is the musical parallel of Satanism. And expressive of Lucifer's musical tone. But what music! So sad to know the truth of its origin---its genuine inspiration. Evil. Glenn Gould may not have know this, or understood what we know, today, but he definitely FELT it. The degeneracy, the depravity, hidden, concealed---obscured---in its depths. That is why Bach is MASTERY of another kind (CHRIST---LOGOS, WORD, the SOUND--AMEN----and MUSIC of the SPHERES): INFINITE, ETERNAL---PURE, HOLY, SACRED---SANCTIFIED and GOOD.

[@pjoseph1658]

One must also not separate the MAN from the MUSIC. For they go hand in hand. Mozart was an almost frivolous personality: lighthearted, flippant, giggling, sensual, hedonistic, and inordinately sexed and licentious; and, while: absolutely, completely, serious about his music---he was a man who loved to write in his letters jokes about (and in all manner of his speech jest about)----"shit", and "shitting"---much like Rabelais (who I refuse to read, and consider his writing to be "refuse"), another Aquarian----and was obsessed with scatology. Hence, his prevalence for scatological jokes. Much like Martin Luther, too. Although Luther was Scorpio---hence his highly sexed nature, and prevalence for sex. We cannot say this of Bach. This MAN was Aries. He was the ONE. He was PURE. And as I AM, the ONE, the ABSOLUTE, in musical terms, the FIRST and the LAST, in every WORD having to do with MUSIC: the BEGINNING and the END: and the ALPHA AND OMEGA of ALL MUSIC. Both, Father and Mother. This MAN. HE---WHO was ONE with LOGOS.

[@pjoseph1658]

IT was why Sibelius never wrote any spiritual, religiously Christian, canonical music, any sacred music, in fact. A rather timid and harsh restraint (---one self-imposed----), perhaps. But not entirely indefensible one. He declared that Bach had already, before him, done everything that was considered to any more possible in this genre. The SUMMIT, no less. It had peaked with Bach, and one has never, again, nor after, scaled to such heights. Sibelius was a wise one, and, characteristically, a perfectionist. He could not tolerate to be second best--not to anyone. Hence, he avoided it altogether, so as not to be compared to Bach. Wise move. Sibelius will always be the number one symphonic composer, for me. I am sure that Glenn Gould would reciprocate. After all---he chose as the only one piece of music he would take to a desert isle---Sibelius', Fifth Symphony. High praise, indeed! For someone who was a "Bach aficionado" in the purest, truest, and most exalted and highest sense. Which is, after all is said and done---(of) GOD.

[@susannestechow1009]

@@pjoseph1658 Oh no, that is too esoterical for me, because I am not convinced of this that the zodiac and its planets has to do with human characters. The stars and planets are too far away from our earth that they could really influence the lives of us. I am not a fan of astrology and I think its superstition. I am very sorry.

[@pjoseph1658]

@@susannestechow1009 That's alright. I have to train myself to not think in these terms. I am Catholic. Yet, I believe they do affect us. The Sun is distant, yet, it has a powerful and very great influence on us. As for the planets, occultists know of their energies and their influence and use them. It may seem like superstition but it is not. We are to overcome their influence, by going to God. Anything thing else is of the Devil and demonic. One should not consult astrologists, or horoscopes. I gave all my astrology books to the BMV bookstore, and I have renounced it and reject it personally, now. We must understand them, but not fear them. The earth itself has energies and the planets supplement them. Yet, again, anything to do with elemental powers, forces, energies, is prohibited to us---(St. Paul). It is of Satan. I am sorry for being so esoteric. I was brought up in the New Age and had once been in a cult. Just goes to show you---I was blind, once. I did not know that esotericism (Gnosticism, the Occult, Theosophy) is Evil. Please forgive me. I just wished to prove the validity that Bach is the greatest of all composers. Forgive me for being so esoteric about it. I apologize. Unfortunately, many composers were Masons. Mozart, Sibelius, etc.. But this does not diminish their music. I believe all great music--as does all great art---comes from God. "Without me you can nothing."---Jesus Christ. He is Logos. The Word.
