- A festive start to Advent: Bach’s cantata “Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland” (BWV 62) performed by the Collegium Vocale Gent conducted by Philippe Herreweghe. The concert took place in 2016 in the Saint-Roch church in Paris.

The cantata “Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland” (BWV 62) was composed by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750) for the 1st Sunday of Advent in 1724. Its text is based on the Advent hymn of the same name by Martin Luther (1483 - 1546), which in turn goes back to the early church Latin hymn “Veni redemptor gentium”. Of Luther’s eight-verse “Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland,” stanzas 1 and 8 are used as brackets in the Bach cantata, so that the opening chorale corresponds in wording to Luther’s stanza 1, and the closing chorale to stanza 8. The intervening two arias and recitatives can only be referred to Luther’s hymn text in very general terms. The author of this baroque poem is unknown. Because of Bach’s reference back to an original church chorale, BWV 62 is also referred to as a chorale cantata.
The internationally renowned conductor and Bach expert Philippe Herreweghe founded the Collegium Vocale Gent in 1970 and together they performed early music as a kind of historical performance practice. In 1989, the orchestra of the Collegium Vocale Gent joined the choir, which is made up of first-class international performers of baroque music. With the Collegium Vocale Gent choir and orchestra, Herreweghe has since produced landmark early music recordings, including the cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach.
(00:00) Introduction
(00:22) Chorale: Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland,
Der Jungfrauen Kind erkannt,
Des sich wundert alle Welt,
Gott solch Geburt ihm bestellt.
(05:30) Aria: Bewundert, o Menschen, dies große Geheimnis:
Der höchste Beherrscher erscheinet der Welt.
Hier werden die Schätze des Himmels entdecket,
Hier wird uns ein göttliches Manna bestellt,
O Wunder! Die Keuschheit wird gar nicht beflecket.
(10:17) Recitativo: So geht aus Gottes Herrlichkeit und Thron
Sein eingeborner Sohn.
Der Held aus Juda bricht herein,
Den Weg mit Freudigkeit zu laufen
Und uns Gefallne zu erkaufen.
O heller Glanz, o wunderbarer Segensschein!
(11:04) Aria: Streite, siege, starker Held!
Sei vor uns im Fleische kräftig!
Sei geschäftig,
Das Vermögen in uns Schwachen
Stark zu machen!
(14:35) Recitativo: Wir ehren diese Herrlichkeit
Und nahen nun zu deiner Krippen
Und preisen mit erfreuten Lippen,
Was du uns zubereit’;
Die Dunkelheit verstört uns nicht
Und sahen dein unendlich Licht.
(15:19) Chorale: Lob sei Gott dem Vater ton,
Lob sei Gott sein’m eingen Sohn,
Lob sei Gott dem Heilgen Geist
Immer und in Ewigkeit!

Durch diese wunderbare Musik scheint noch diese himmlische Reinheit von der die Kirche nichts mehr weiß....
Tout ce que Philippe Herreweghe interprète est magnifique !!! Mon chef d'orchestre préféré...
Ein schönes Stück, zum 1. Advent. Gut ausgesucht. 👍
Nothing like this old Lutheran choral music! Sublime!
Klare und saubere Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Kantate mit gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors und herrlichen Stimmen vierer genialen Solisten sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Originalinstrumente. Der intelligente und erfahrene Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Barockorchester im angemessenen Tempo und mit angenehmer Dynamik. Einfach wunderschön!
Perhaps this is some short version of Bach´s Christmas Oratorio, and so I welcome it. We are all brothers and sisters in this world, loving music.
Why is everything Bach wrote exquisitely heaven-ascending?
Possibly because he was a converted man - a Christian believer - for whom all he did was for the glory of God: soli Deo Gloria…..SDG as he would write on his manuscripts.
tutto a gloria di Dio
Духовная музыка
Holy Spirit Inspired!

La musica di BACH? "Un dialogo di Dio con se stesso un attimo prima della Creazione". The music of BACH? "A dialogue of God with himself a moment before the Creation". La musique de BACH ? "Un dialogue de Dieu avec lui-même un moment avant la Création".
来吧！外邦人的救主！

this is a strange recording for me: everything is at its place (phrasing, curation, decent interpreters, expert conductor) but it somehow feels static and kind of lifeless to me. also, the microphones do not seem to be ideally placed (which might contribute to the effect)
Agree! it's "flat". Sound engineering is lacking. Still a resounding thumbs up!
Not at all strange it requires an ear and a soul to go with it.
@@peterburandt4586 I'm not sure it's just sound engineering...
This opening movement never gets off the ground, flat too ploddy. Come on man, inject some life!
diction of tenor soloist: a bit too much liaison, some "e" are too open, which sounds more like "ä"
Bel exemple d'interprétation morte. Zéro inspiration, manqué de passion.

What is this comment about?
@@andrewloose3419 Just a false prophet giving a false end times prophesy.
schön, aber wie immer langweilig...
Please hire a competent tenor soloist!, Boring sound and out of tune many times.
Peter Koij please retire!. You were fantastic in your prime time.
Who died and made YOU Lord?
