J.S. Bach / Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot, BWV 39 (Herreweghe)

[@winterdesert1]

Bach makes time stand still.

[@user-uy9qs5sk4n]

After 30 years still very very good.

[@viniciusgalindo22]

Bach makes me want to learn German, so that I can understand the true magnificence of his works

[@CatatonicImperfect]

It's actually really hard to make out the words from the singing, when I want to understand it, I look up the text. Then it's usually religious stuff and sometimes weird old-timey words. The English translations are usually in more contemporary language and easier to understand. Some channels here on KZbin put subtitles in the videos, which is nice. The Swiss Bachstiftung has recently started doing that.

[@AbCd-kq3ky]

​@@CatatonicImperfect In my opinion, making out the words is not so hard in the opening chorus of this cantata. The same goes for many recitatives and certain arias. I think it is worthwhile to at least try to make out the words as you read the text. The music often closely mirrors what is being said (just compare the sorrowful "Elend" with the uplifting "alsdenn wird dein Licht").

[@TheLouwina]

Best mental health therapy, both text and music.

[@geraiswaiya2347]

The best piece of music ever written about bread. Probably.

[@Vingul]

Git dat bread

[@PJinBston]

there was also a motet by his cousin Tupac Bach - "GImme some o' dat Bread," but yeah this is a fantastic work.

[@twillert-organ-projects]

This is THAT good. Perfect cadenza

Le summum de la musique de Bach et de son interprétation.... World class!

[@richardstark5569]

Unglaublich!

[@douglasdickerson5184]

Wonderful music!

[@ringonoka]

こういう曲を神々しいと呼びたい。神の光に満たされるようである。夜も朝も、善も悪も、何もない世界へ入っていくようである。すべてが無と帰す。死と生は同じものと、知らされるようである。

Another Bach amazing music from BWV 39.

Tout est juste, pulsation, texte et musique, rencontre au sommet entre Bach, Philippe Herreweghe et ses musiciens,

[@hemiolaguy]

Fantastic performance of wonderful music. Herreweghe is such a fine Bach conductor. It made me write out a big check to Oxfam -- I think Bach would have been pleased!

[@steveistheman84]

none better than herreweghe. good call

[@Vingul]

Wouldn't trust my money with Oxfam but at least we can agree that Bach is great (imo the greatest).

I think Charles Brett is the most expressive counter-tenor I have ever heard.

[@deltapapa3418]

Un chef d'œuvre !!!

[@TheLouwina]

The text is Isaiah 58:7-8 "Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot/Break your bread to the hungry ..." It continues 9: "Then you will call, and the LORD shall answer; you will cry, and he shall say: Here I am" and the most wonderful 11: "... you shall be like a watered garden". It's all about focussing outwards, not inwards, the key to mental healing. Sadly the opposite is fashionable nowadays.

[@dansaber4427]

That's the same sex relationship Paul is talking about. One with yourself. He's not talking about sexual minorities

[@dansaber4427]

@@TheLouwina an inward relationship is a same-sex relationship. Can't you see the confusion. People say Paul is anti-lgbt. Paul is anti self-obsession

[@dansaber4427]

@@TheLouwina I don't think sexual minorities have rejected God and that's why they are what they are. So I don't think he's talking about that. I think he's talking about religious Fellowship. Especially when he says lust. It's not like lgbtq people can't understand love right?

[@dansaber4427]

@@TheLouwina that's fine if you think lgbtq people have been handed over to a debased mind. I don't think it makes sense in the context. It was the religious people that knew God and glorified him not when they shouted crucify him. Not the lgbt.

[@dansaber4427]

@@TheLouwina what is the religious people sing in St John's passion? We have a law and by our law he will die? Careful you're not far off from looking like them. I find no fault with the lgbtq whatsoever. Your turn. Tell everyone what's happened to you here today

La interpretación magnífica.

[@esaulr.775]

+F. Javier Sarasua Es intachable pero a veces me resulta un poco fría y distante, como sin querer participar de la emoción, sobre todo las voces. Herreweghe es así....

[@abirdthatflew]

It's incredible that Bach died virtually a pauper. His wife didn't have enough money to pay for his tombstone, just a wooden box is all she could afford. She was turned out of their home and had to live on handouts for the rest of her life.

[@Brainblast_edd]

5:39 Magnificent! #BBLST

Bach was unique. But the dutch girls & guys put in scene beautiful music & voices: Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot. Teile es. :-)

[@MegaCirse]

Quand le monde fléchit autour de soi, quand les structures d’une civilisation vacillent, il est bon de revenir à ce qui, dans l’histoire, ne fléchit pas, mais au contraire redresse le courage, rassemble les séparés, pacifie sans meurtrir. Il est bon de rappeler que le génie de la création est lui aussi, à l’œuvre dans une histoire vouée à la destruction..... Par ailleurs, cette musique sublime montre que même dans un égout mental comme le catholicisme, des plantes magnifiques peuvent fleurir :-)

[@leonhardtdenis9829]

"même dans un égout mental comme le catholicisme," : grosse erreur JS Bach n'était pas catholique... Le terme d'égout n'est -il pas un peu excessif ? Le philosophe disait : "les propos excessifs sont insignifiants (étymologie).

[@benoistveillerette1221]

@@leonhardtdenis9829 Le terme "égout mental" n'est pas excessif; il est tout simplement insignifiant, comme vous le dites si justement. Insignifiant au sens éthymologique: sans aucun sens. Un égout mental, cela ne veut rien dire. d' ailleur tout le propos de ce commentaire consiste à mettre ensembles des mots dans un ensemble qui n'a ni queue ni tête. Une "histoire vouée à la destruction"? Encore un propos insignifiant.

[@arikh75]

Bach a composé sa musique sacrée pour la liturgie luthérienne... Mais souligner la médiocrité des cérémonies catholiques est réaliste et c'est un fait : Vatican Il est le projet qui est responsable.

[@MegaCirse]

@@leonhardtdenis9829 C'est vrai, il nest pas catho, tout en adorant le même "Etre suprême" Le créateur comme le nommait ironiquement Isidore Ducasse, comte de Lautréamont.. Si j'avais écrit que son architecture sonore était recommandée "en sourdine pour déguster de bons mets chinois dans un restaurant confortable et délicieusement décoré ! A écouter avec modération bien sûr et en respectant les distanciations d’usage" Là, j'accepterai "l'insignifiance" de ma prose. Par ailleurs mes propos ne sont pas excessifs mais plutôt poétiques et ils le louent pour son intense créativité que l'on qualifie ici-bas de Génie n'est ce pas¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@MegaCirse]

@@benoistveillerette1221 Tout comme l'insignifiance de votre analyse et de votre compréhension de mes propos ;( C'est sans doute ma sensibilité de musicien et mon scepticisme sur l'existence du "tout Puissant" qui m'a fait réagir ainsi !! J'ajouterais par ailleurs que Bach était beauté, message, violence et rêve, mais surtout l'instrument puissant d'une volonté formidable qui lui était propre.. Mais tout ceci est tellement subjectif n'est ce pas¯\_(ツ)_/¯
