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!
👍🎶👍 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. 💝
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
When my favourite VOCES8 sings my favourite Christmas oratorio ... What an honour. 💖 Barney is brilliant, the tenors excellent and the native speaker smiles 😉 Christmas greetings from Saxony/Germany and all the best for your birthday A.
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 ❤.
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
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 !!
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.
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!
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

@@fareast_de Dankeschön! 👍
@@marikomariko3992 Vielen Dank und schöne Weihnachtstage! 🌺🎶 Ich liebe Montreal. 😍

Handel's Glory to God is just as good! Especially if you use the spurious timpani part with the trumpets....
@@daviddavenport9350Sorry, JSB is the master of vocal harmony, hands down.
Bach , c'est grandiose et vous l'interprêtez merveilleusement .....Merci à vous Voces8.....
Irgendwie könnte es ohne das Weihnachtsoratorium nicht so richtig Weihnachten werden... 🤩
Diese herrlichen Stimmen. Es ist ein Genuß diese wundervolle Musik so vollkommen zu hören!
genau

With Bruce Willis on tympani?
A lovely fresh performance. Just electric.
Bach and Voces8 - Christmas is early this year ❤
@@mikeminguez8760😍 indeed
Wieder einmal ein wunderbar gesungenes Werk! Grüße aus Österreich! Ich bin echt ein Fan dieses Chores!❤
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
Brilliant as always! Such clean singing and tight playing. What a coup getting Bruce Willis to play the kettle drums, too 😅
Spectacular, with superb voices and instrumentalists.
Thankyou for making my Christmas!
Quelle belle musique magnifiquement interprétée
A classic for christmas! Greetings from the Thomanerchor from Leipzig!
Concert plein de joie et d'enthousiasme, Très belle interprétation de l'Oratorio de Noël. Vous formez un ensemble exceptionnel. Un immense merci.
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.
Nobody does Joy like JS Bach
Wow! What an explosion of joy!
Must have been a sensational performance- you had that God - David Blackadder on trumpet!!! MY HERO!!!! .xxxxxxx
Maestoso, solenne, trionfale. Un'esperienza di sublime, come solo Bach e un'interpretazione ricca di virtuosismo possonno offrire.
Wow, thank you. Beautiful as always.
What a joyful performance Wonderfully performed!
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.
Yay, VOCES8 doing some more Bach! Keep it coming!
Das Herz geht mir auf bei dieser Musik und ihrer Aufführung ❤❤❤.
A very powerful interpretation of this wonderful piece. It is very nice to listen to.
It's a pity that the whole concert is no longer online.
Gorgeous! 😍 And love Andrea’s beautiful outfit just as much… 😇
JSB forever, Thx V8
For me this is the most wonderful performance of this movement of Bach's fabulous work - thank you!
Just perfect. Amazing singing, instrumentalists and perfect in ensemble. Joyful and lively.
When my favourite VOCES8 sings my favourite Christmas oratorio ... What an honour. 💖
Barney is brilliant, the tenors excellent and the native speaker smiles 😉
Christmas greetings from Saxony/Germany and all the best for your birthday A.
Beautiful execution! Thank you for sharing this wonderful music with no expiry date!
Oh my word, this is fabulous...
Wonderful, so tight…I really enjoyed the tympani, so controlled 👍
Always a pleasure to listen to you.. great performance. And great to see Bobbie :)))
It seems my soul is wandering in shining Tokyo full of Christmas colorful illuminations and various electric decorations
🍂🍁🍄🎀💐🎑
❤ Greetings from Finland. Sounds heavenly.
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 ❤.
Bach and great musicians it is heavenly.

Magnificent, as a description does not do this justice. Volume does.......
Oh my, this is beyond beautiful. Thank you.
Bravo!!!
Wunderschön!
Großartig. Great. I love Bach. And this Choir.❤ Greatings from Germany.
Christmas is connected to countless unique and ultimately pleasing experiences and this is one of those. 🙏
Just discovered this...! Best version I've heard so far... and I've heard some VERY good ones!!!
Wonderful!! Thank you
How fortunate we all are to have these videos! Thank you so much and…BRAVO!!
Wunderschön ❤
Superb!
Christmas Greetings from Daytona Beach, FL. This is one of my favorites to sing. Thank you!
Oh my God - how beautiful....
Absolutely magnificent performance and recording. Papa Bach will be applauding this! From South Africa, my grateful thanks to all concerned.
Simply magnificent! Such joy.
As an a cappella choir VOCES8 is outstanding. Paired with the right instrumental accompaniment heavenly.
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

Wonderful! Rarely heard, deserves to be known more.
Ein sehr entspanntes Tempo, schön!
Bella sinfonia
Magnificent!
Excellent performance. You bring Bach to life. Have subscribed although I have listened to you before.
Really wonderful, balm for my heart and soul, thank you very much (from Germany) 😘
Thank you this wonderful recording.
Magnificent 💙
Formidables.Rozan el.Cielo.FELICIDADES desde Sevilla.
As usual you are the best. I’m fan of you. Thank you mister Barnaby, go on to make us happy. Have a merry Christmas
Marvellous! Thanks!
Words are not enough!
❤❤❤ 🙏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Fantastic!
Thanks for this treat Voces8-to wake this morning in Canada and find this on your channel-such a thrill to listen to!
I'm no great fan of Bach - but this wonderful performance makes a persuasive case for him. The Tympanist is having a blast!
Awesome. Great power and gusto. As good as anything.
Oooh! Wonderful!❤️❤️❤️
Grandiose
Very well done.
Magnificat!
Beautiful clear registration, excellent performance!
Superb and uplifting!
Superbe. Merci .
Endlich mal eine Interpretation in gemässigtem Tempo
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.
Thank you 🙏
Wow, I loved It. 😍😍😍 Amazing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻😍😍🙌🙌
Wunderbare Musik liebe Klassik
Barock...
Superb bravo !
Чудово!
Very nice. Enjoyed that.
Wonderful
Wonderful performance🎄⭐️
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!
What a joy to watch, as well as hear, Kate Brooke's double bass playing! But where's the third oboe?
Uitzonderlijk goed, een waardige vertolking van Bachs talent. Frohe Weihnachten❤!
So gäch!
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
Fantastic. The only thing I miss is a counter tenor, but he is also doing well as conductor. 😄
Very clear and fresh performance and accurate pronunciation. Bravissime! Thank you!
Can we hope for more of the Weihnachtsoratorium?
With Bruce Willis on timpani.
He's still got it.
poor man! if only...
God bless him.
LOL! 😂😂 He does look a bit like Bruce...
He's "Moonlighting."
This goes hard.
Magnifique ! Bravo ❤❤
