[@cillyede]

👍🎶👍 Ich werde am 01.01.24 70 Jahre alt und habe schon einiges gesehen in meinem Leben. Aber bei diesem Stück und dem ganzen Oratorium kommen mir immer die Tränen. Schöne Feiertage und Greetings from South Germany. 🇩🇪

" ...habe schon einiges gesehen in meinem Leben. Aber bei diesem Stück und dem ganzen Oratorium kommen mir immer die Tränen " Sie haben mich zum Weinen gebracht. Für mich dieses Stück und An Die Freude. Das ist es, was großartige Musik bewirkt. Alles Gute zum Geburtstag ! Herzliche Grüße aus Montreal, Kanada. 💝

[@fareast_de]

Sie sprechen mir aus der Seele. Auch Ihnen bereits im Voraus ein schönes Weihnachtsfest und die besten Wünsche zum Siebzigsten aus Norddeutschland.

Kommt direkt aus dem Himmel! Danke!

[@suzanneknowles5361]

This is by far the most joyful first movement of any Christmas music. The choir is fabulous, and the 'ancient' instruments in the orchestra make just the right sound. Well done all of you and , of course, Barnaby Smith.

[@daviddavenport9350]

Handel's Glory to God is just as good! Especially if you use the spurious timpani part with the trumpets....

[@antoniofranciscogarcia1707]

@@daviddavenport9350Sorry, JSB is the master of vocal harmony, hands down.

[@magdalenesulau8804]

Diese herrlichen Stimmen. Es ist ein Genuß diese wundervolle Musik so vollkommen zu hören!

[@jandamskier6510]

genau

[@katharinaurbschat1401]

SUBLIME, SUBLIME !! The sopranos' high notes effortless - the tenor lines confident and on pitch - the pronunciation very good - and I could go on. I will definitely look for the whole concert on your website. Thank you ❤.

[@Talisman0011]

Bach , c'est grandiose et vous l'interprêtez merveilleusement .....Merci à vous Voces8.....

[@EllieArroway-co5xf]

Ich denke, genauso hätte es Bach gefallen. Neben wunderbarem Chor- und Orchesterklang auch genau das richtige Tempo. Heutzutage hat man ja bei vielen Aufführungen den Eindruck, Chor und Orchester seien auf der Jagd. Hier stimmt einfach alles. Vielen Dank für diese schöne Aufführung!

[@wolfgangberndt3481]

Irgendwie könnte es ohne das Weihnachtsoratorium nicht so richtig Weihnachten werden... 🤩

[@demosthenes2433]

Das Herz geht mir auf bei dieser Musik und ihrer Aufführung ❤❤❤.

[@terrynicol9662]

Quelle belle musique magnifiquement interprétée

[@richardforshaw8479]

Spectacular, with superb voices and instrumentalists. Thankyou for making my Christmas!

[@Robertmeulendijk]

This is my favourite oratorium of Bach. I booked a ticket at the Pieterskerk Leiden 23rd of December at 19:30 with Concerto Köln with Peter Dijkstra conducting

[@shin-i-chikozima]

It seems my soul is wandering in shining Tokyo full of Christmas colorful illuminations and various electric decorations 🍂🍁🍄🎀💐🎑

[@gzw1409]

Wieder einmal ein wunderbar gesungenes Werk! Grüße aus Österreich! Ich bin echt ein Fan dieses Chores!❤

[@larrymiller4]

One of my favorite oratorios, with that irresistible "hook" in it that makes you long for more. How can JS Bach not be the greatest composer who ever was, or ever will be? Curiously, he isn't my favorite, but almost. Members of voces8 are top shelf, as usual, with quite an ensemble. Thank you all, again and again. The only (minor) downside here is that the taller vocalists are in front, blocking the shorter ones. Still, the sound is overpowering.

[@mariavanhoof7961]

Congratulations Voces 8 and others, Vielen Dank, thanks a lot Muchas gracias para este comienzo tán alegre y majestuoso del tiempo navideño. La música de J.S. Bach siempre emociona

[@mikeminguez8760]

With Bruce Willis on tympani?

[@derbyshirebirdwatcher6054]

A lovely fresh performance. Just electric.

[@kikivolauvent1]

Bach and Voces8 - Christmas is early this year ❤

[@mcgitarz]

How fortunate we all are to have these videos! Thank you so much and…BRAVO!!

[@paulroussell]

Brilliant as always! Such clean singing and tight playing. What a coup getting Bruce Willis to play the kettle drums, too 😅

[@josefkastner8698]

JSB forever, Thx V8

[@siphomngoma5439]

I'm so glad too that I found this song uploaded on Christmas day, I sang it myself in the choir here in SA, IV been playing it since the 25th when I found it. I naturally lk Bach's works frm high school here

[@alessandramercati3414]

Maestoso, solenne, trionfale. Un'esperienza di sublime, come solo Bach e un'interpretazione ricca di virtuosismo possonno offrire.

[@rickbaker8096]

Wow, thank you. Beautiful as always.

[@AndreasR64]

Wonderful performance. Playing in the high league of performances from Harnoncourt, Herreweghe and others. You managed to present Christmas joy to lift the hearts of the audience. Thank you.

[@michaelskelton8516]

Wonderful, so tight…I really enjoyed the tympani, so controlled 👍

[@melissaraven3164]

Yay, VOCES8 doing some more Bach! Keep it coming!

[@larrydalton2205]

Just perfect. Amazing singing, instrumentalists and perfect in ensemble. Joyful and lively.

[@FG-ie7cu]

[@jeanbrigue8786]

C'est d'une beauté exceptionnelle, merci pour partager cette magnifique interprétation, tout est maîtrisé, joyeux, c'est grandiose, et ça donne la chair de poule !!

[@philplace2726]

Just discovered this...! Best version I've heard so far... and I've heard some VERY good ones!!!

[@normandriscoll3320]

What a joy to watch Barnaby Smith (a counter tenor) "sing along" with the choir, much like Peter Dykstra (a bass) in his performance of the same work . Their joy spreads to the choir and audience. Thank you all.

[@keithhigh7773]

As an a cappella choir VOCES8 is outstanding. Paired with the right instrumental accompaniment heavenly.

[@rosinapaul983]

Christmas Greetings from Daytona Beach, FL. This is one of my favorites to sing. Thank you!

[@bethanharrison9783]

For me this is the most wonderful performance of this movement of Bach's fabulous work - thank you!

Чудово!

[@achenarmyst2156]

Fantastic. The only thing I miss is a counter tenor, but he is also doing well as conductor. 😄

Bien sûr comme d’habitude vous êtes magnifiques dans cette œuvre si célèbre Mais je donnerai une mention spéciale à Andréa qui porte avec élégance une robe de circonstance si rayonnante

[@MaximilianLoerzer]

An incredibly great accent-free German pronunciation! If I heard accents, it was only because I was explicitly looking for them. Respect. Best regards from Germany.

[@klauspetersen7041]

Endlich mal eine Interpretation in gemässigtem Tempo

[@edmundnschrag]

With Bruce Willis on timpani. He's still got it.

[@thedreadtyger]

poor man! if only... God bless him.

[@dirkhoekstra727]

LOL! 😂😂 He does look a bit like Bruce...

[@larrymiller4]

He's "Moonlighting."

[@EGM777]

So gäch!

[@heinzkohut572]

Very clear and fresh performance and accurate pronunciation. Bravissime! Thank you! Can we hope for more of the Weihnachtsoratorium?

[@spitimalamati]

Spectacular performance! One rule I learned from my elementary school music teacher (who studied under Leopold Stokawski), however, is what the orchestra and choir wear, cannot be louder than the music! Those glasses from the 2nd violin section are blasting!

[@johnrichardson7629]

No one could overproduce a piece quite like old JSB
