Bach - Lass, Fürstin, lass noch einen Strahl, 'Trauerode' BWV 198 - Luks | Netherlands Bach Society
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- In 1727 Bach composed a funeral cantata: 'Lass, Fürstin, lass noch einen Strahl' BWV 198, better known as the 'Trauerode', here performed by the Netherlands Bach Society conducted by Václav Luks. The music was written for a memorial service for Christiane Eberhardine, wife of Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony.
The 'Trauerode' is undoubtedly one of Bach’s most moving compositions. He could not have given stronger confirmation of the esteem in which the deceased electress was held. From start to finish, the work is characterised by an ardour that is lent extra cachet through the rich orchestration, which includes two oboes d’amore, two gambas and two lutes. “The music is charged with intimacy, with an extremely personal feel, as if a family member has died”, says the conductor Václav Luks.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on 7 March 2020 at Grote Kerk, Naarden. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

I wish you could provide an English translation sometime...
@@DSR299 The text is in German, and moreover, English is not the native language of the majority of listeners. This reminds me the EU: The British kingdom is no longer a member, the only member where people speak English is Ireland. Ireland is a quite respectable country, but represents a very small proportion of EU citizens. Nevertheless English remains "the" official language of EU, together with German and French.
@@gerardbegni2806 Nevertheless, the Netherlands Bach Society, creates the finest interpretation and sound. I love Bach's music. I wish there could be English closed captions. Then, I could fully understand the beauty of what is being said in these performances.
😊
2 theorbos, 2 gambas, what more could I wish
Congratulations to all the musicians, especially Luciana!
There's no better way to end (or to start!) a day than a new upload-especially a cantata-from the NBS! Thank you so much for your service to humanity!
YT: What would you like to here today, sir?
Me: Bach!
YT: Excellent choice, sir. Same as yesterday, sir, but still a good choice!
Me: No day, neither good nor bad, can pass without Bach!
YT: So, I'll bring it Bach tomorrow, too?
Me: ...that was a bad pun...
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❣
Almost every single Bachcantata is a revelation. This one is no exception from that . A sublime piece.
Yes, every cantate is a summit, this one belongs to the very best.
Yes, Bach’s genius is almost incomprehensible. Where did he pick up such wonder of melodic richness all the time? Week after week, a new cantata every Sunday, five seasons, 300 of them, of which 200 remain.
Tremendously moving, almost from the very first few notes. No composer ever matched Bach for almost immediate emotional impact.
I so agree.
I could agree til i discovered Zelenka
Yes, Well said!
Tremendously ? Ecoutez donc l'entrée de BWV 54 "Wiederstehe doch der Sünde"
The opening to St John's Passion would be one of my favourite examples of this.
Beautiful. One of Bach's finest. And that alto has an incredibly beautiful voice.
Agreed!
She has the voice of an angel.
Most certainly!
J’ai eu le bonheur de chanter la Trauerode durant mes études en musicologie à Paris à La Sorbonne avec Mr Jacques Grimbergen dans les années 80. J’ai 68 dans quelques mois et à l’époque j’avais une vingtaine d’années. Merveilleuses années !!! 3:10
Une fois de plus Luciana Mancini crêve l'écran et la scène avec cette éternelle engagement profond, total, magnifique. Quelle grande artiste et Bach lui va à merveille. J'adore
Another awesome job done NBS!
Entire ensemble demonstrating wholesome understanding of the composition, hard to match musical and technical skills and, last but certainly not least a recording master REALLY knowing how to make the very best of an acoustically favourable venue. All in all: 11 out of 10.
Das Konzert ist einzigartig schön, und wunderbar inszeniert. Ich bin voller Dankbarkeit.
Dear friends o the NBS, we all have a huge debt of gratitude towards you for the wonderful work you are doing. There is hardly one day when I don't see your videos. Thank you sooo much
Comme toujours, parfait 🤩 Merci pour ce travail titanesque et vertueux d'enregistrer toute l'œuvre de Bach 👍 Cette œuvre exceptionnelle, une fois achevée, devrait être inscrite au patrimoine culturel immatériel de l’UNESCO 🏳️🌈
Couldn’t agree more - et puis la qualité de chaque participant, des solistes, des filmeurs, la ‘mise en page’ de ces oeuvres sublissimes - quel régal.
Wunderschöne und tiefempfundene Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Kantate mit herrlichen Stimmen vierer genialen Solisten und gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller historischen Instrumente. Der talentierte und ebenso geniale Dirigent leitet alles im angemessenen Tempo und mit sorgfältig kontrolleiter Dynamik. Einfach wunderbar!
I just discovered you before Christmas 2022, and you have added so much beauty and pleasure to my life in the last few weeks! Your group is stunning and illustrates the principle of Divine Perfection in your singing and musicianship. Thank you so much for being here! 🤩
ALL OF THESE CANTATS ARE SUCH MARVEL´S THAT PICKING A FAVORITE WOULD BE LIKE CHOOSING A FAVORITE CHILD. THEY ARE JUST MARVELOUS, BARE IN MIND THAT EACH ONE IN ORDER TO BE FULLY UNDERSTOOD,, REQUIRES MANY REPITITIONS OF LISTENING IN ORDER TO ABSORB THE MUSICAL FORCES AT WORK HERE. BACH IS AN OUTSTANDING MUSICAL FIGURE, AS ARE THE PERFORMERS IN THIS NETHERLANDS BACH SOCIETY. IF ONE CANTATA DOES NOT TOUCH YOU, JUST KEEP REPEATING WITH SOME TIME IN BETWEEN EACH AUDITION UNTIL YOU FINALLY UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE THESE CANTATAS ARE ONE OF THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFTS WHICH HUMANITY HAS RECEIVED FROM THE 18TH CENTURY-
Luciana Mancini, a Chilean singer whose voice is beautiful and easy to recognize.
what an outstanding ensemble, what glorious music.
I particularly love the alto aria accompanied by the low rumble and earthen timbre of the low strings. Awesome.
You are unique. Nobody plays Bach as you so wonderfully do !
how wonderful to hear Lucie Chartin!
Merci à la NBS d'avoir invité Vaclav Luks à diriger.
Speechless for so much beauty!
Très haut niveau. Technicité, ensemble, émotions, style. Tout y est ! C'est magnifique. Mention spéciale au ténor. Merci à la NBS !😇
Bach's genius is present and recognizable from the first to the last note of the Trauer Ode.
In the last choir, Bach's idea of making the choir sing in unison when the words "Sie ist der Tugend Eigentum" etc. are said, is absolutely brilliant. Those are the words "we would like to read", as is sung before. The perfect agreement of all of us is translated into Bach music with unison. Chills!
I did not know this piece until I heard it here. What a wonderful introduction to it! I shall return again and again to listen to this. Wonderful singing and playing! Thank you NBS!
Ogni volta che il Signor Bach si cimenta con un genere crea un modello (insuperabile e insuperato). Il più meraviglioso dono della musica al pianeta Terra, il Signor Bach. Senza dubbio.
❤️
Благодарю вас, прекрасные музыканты за вашу Евангельскую проповедь через божественную музыку Баха! СпасиБог!
What a grandiose piece, which I have never heard before!
While listening, I couldn't help asking myself what other composer it reminded me, then I found it: Telemann, with his excellent mastery of colorful orchestration. And also Vivaldi, in some ways, for both lyrism and religious compositions. Anyway, a remarkable piece, played by dedicated musicians.
Bach learned to write melodies from Vivaldi, after his music became available to the place Bach was working at the time, he obviously could have taken more knowledge or inspiration from Vivaldi -since we can't know for sure-, but i havent read anyone claiming he learned more than melodies from Vivaldi
ESPECTACULAR, MAJESTUOSOS. CONDUCTOR EXTRAORDINARIO. GRACIAS MAESTRO VACLAV LUKS. DESDE MÉXICO
What a perfection on directing an orquestra and the voices. Sublime.
Gorgeous, timeless....... Thank you NBS 💙💜
This being a funeral cantata reminds me... Is cantata BWV 4 available? It's one of my absolute favourites!!
Leitura maravilhosa de uma das mais belas cantatas.
@José Carlos Neves Lopes 🙂
Bach's music is timeless and will always win the hearts of its listeners.
They are beyond brilliant, beyond every existing musical superlative . They've transgressed into the territory of infinite heavenly ecstasy!
What a 'cantata' ! Wonderful, thank you very much !
Quoi de plus beau que cette merveilleuse cantate si bien dirigée, orchestrée, comprise avec un choeur d'une exceptionnelle qualité et des musiciens excellents. Chapeau bas !
The Traur ode must be the no most beautiful and moving piece that Bach ever wrote so wonderfully played thank you to this special group of musicians and singers I absolutely loved it 😂
The synopsis in the description really helped set the scene. Thank you!
You’re welcome! For even more information about this work, please visit our website: www.bachvereniging.nl/en/bwv/bwv-198/
Sans doute une des plus belles et des plus émouvantes cantates de JS Bach. Quel plaisir de retrouver Václav Luks à la tête de l'orchestre de la Netherlands Bach Society. Parmi les solistes tous excellents, je note particulièrement l'interprétation remarquable de Luciana Mancini de cet extraordinaire aria d'alto " Wie starb die Heldin so vergnügt! " . Je recommande d'écouter Juditha Triumphans où Luciana Mancini est Juditha dans le concert donné cet été avec l'Orchestra Lorenzo Da Ponte magnifiquement dirigé par Roberto Zarpellon.
I am revisiting this work after discovering it recently, as a subscriber. The performance from this group always exceeds expectations. Such reverence for the music and it’s meaning. We are blessed to be “present”. Thanks.
Luciana Mancini, alto et quelle belle voix ! Un petit air de Sara Mingardo. (Inviterez-vous cette dernière un jour ? Elle avait fait un beau passage avec JE Gardiner dans BWV 63 (Christen ätzet disen Tag)
Et Lucie Chartin, qui avait été très convaincante dans la cantate du café. Merci pour cette belle prestation ! On a envie de féliciter tout le monde !
Prachtig! Ontroerend mooie uitvoering. De interpretatie van Luks heeft me geraakt. 7 maart 2020, dus dat moet het laatste concert vóór de corona pandemie en lock-down zijn geweest. Fantastisch dat dit is opgenomen. Veel dank.
Ja fantastisch
Grande Mancini!!!
The archlute's arm is so big that it always seems to be on the scene. This is cool.
The ever intrusive Theorbo necks! Hahaha
Apparently copies of Matteo Buchenberg Rome 1603.
Bach probably employed two mandoras in this cantata. Such instruments would have had an easier time cutting through the ensemble.
On ne se lasse pas de cette version. Quelle finesse et quelle puissance musicale. C'est merveilleux
Recorded on 7 March 2020? I am glad you made it. It had to be close.
What i thought
Heroes!
The last concert that I went to was on the 12th of March, 2020. The next day everything started to shut down, even the bar we visited before going. It’s been a full year now. Can’t wait for normal to return!
The last concert I went to see in Amsterdam. Two days later an harpsichord violin concert in the Zeist Palace. Thereafter everything closed down.
Who may get tired of listening to Bach with these wonderful, moving performances! Thank so much for keeping high AND lofty this Splendid músic!!!
An absolutely wonderful performance Thank's NBS🍃
Great performance, everyone! My favorite aria is 'Der Ewigkeit'--sung wonderful by you, Mr. Hobbs!
@Tom Berryhill I don't think so! Suzuki has recorded the whole aria, as have Koopman and Gardiner.
Bravi ! Bravo Václav !
Wow, thank you NBS
A marvelous cantata, the last tenor aria ist extremely nostalgic, a reminder of old times that will never come again.
It is very interesting how Bach control the composition according with the situation, here a funeral cantata. The recitations and aries are with a great number, given a lent cantata movement, although the orchestration is outstanding .The soprano, alto, tenor and bass are great voices.
MARAVILHA, MUITO LINDO
BRAVISSIMO 👏👏👏🥰🥰🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thanks!
Danke schön für diese wunderbare Darbietung. Ich bin mir sicher, sie hätte Bach sehr gefallen.
A perfect performance
Eine wunderschöne Kantate, komponiert anlässlich der Trauerfeier zum Tode der Frau von "August der Starke", Christiane Ebahardine. Es gab im Vorfeld der Feierlichkeiten in Leipzig Streit darum, wer die Musik dazu komponieren sollte. Die Wahl fiel letztendlich auf JSB.
Bach - not only the great composer, but also the great dramaturge! Most passionate performance. I wish the starting point could be a little bit slower, in order to prolong the enjoyment of hearing the beautiful performance. Bravi to the conductor, the choir, the orchestra and all the soloists. Thanks NBS!
Quelle musique magnifique jouée par des musiciens hors norme.
Mancini is a goddess! Whata rich tone, and equally good in Latin (Vivaldi's Juditha Triumphans) as with this magnificent piece in German. And has been said many times, NBS is just perfect.
en effet le recitatif et l’air de mme Mancini sont admirables …
As always, a precious gift sent to the world by these extraordinary musicians. Thank you for your tremendous talents and interpretation of this immense music. You bring it alive for the ages!
Awesome Video! Thank you!
Lovely! 😊
Gorgeous, especially the short aria at 20:55.
Superbe interprétation.
Merveilleuse Luciana Mancini !
Grandiosa !
Je vous remercie pour ce réveil de bonheur intense je vous aime très très fort sincèrement mon amour 💘merci ❤
Сочетание реального, земного и возвышенного, божественного в музыке Баха происходит очень естественно, гениально просто и ясно.
Це неймовірно! Дякую вам!
As riveting and committed a performance of a Bach cantata as I ever have heard. Hoomeyow!!
Magnifique !
Para mí sois los mejores intérpretes de Bach. Every day I listen to some cantata performed by your group.
Schitterend mooi omspeelt het orkest de zangers.
De zang is als een schip op een zee van golvende instrumenten zo goed ondersteund
I’d enjoy playing with the conductor; he has an articulate approach that seems in keeping with Baroque performance. The opening aria of part II is an incredible moment of Bach’s continuing musical transcendence.
I thought conductors were fairly uncommon in the Baroque era
@@llamallama1509 Bach used to conduct his own cantatas every sunday! He also played the barokorgel/harpsichord himself.
Beautiful performance, stunning! Thank you so much
Adoro J.S.Bach, dai tempi in cui , bambina, mi accostai a Lui suonando "Il libro di Maddalena"...
Вот, это настоящая Европейская ценность, которую я и уважаю и почитаю!
"I play the notes as they are written, but it is God who makes the music." - Johann Sebastian Bach.
20:55 Der Ewigkeit saphirnes Haus (Arie) is just superb.
This was an absolute joy to listen to! There's usually no point to highlight anyone in such great music by musicians that are among the best, but sometimes i guess we do in the nature of baroque art, because the "Wie starb die Heldin so vergnugt!" along with it's recitative is to me one of the most beautiful not only soprano, but vocal performances I've heard in a while and it was quite inspiring
Another Terrific J.S.Bach creation and wonderful interpretation;
I´m really impressed with the team from the Netherlands Bach Society.
Thanks for share with Us; is a valuable experience
maravillosa. una de mis cantatas preferidas. gracias!
It is hard to believe but under the direction of Vaclav Luks and Shunske Sato the NBS is even growing in dynamics, phrasing, expression and care for detail. This is a very deep and emotional performance. In the unsurpassed aria 'Wie starb die Heldin so vergnügt!' the tones of the lutes fall like tears fall from the soul and one feels how sad and 'laborious' it is to die and to let go. Sterven is een werkwoord..
Bravo!! Excelente interpretación. Felicitaciones.
Très belle interprétation pour cette cantate magnifique, merci !
Fantastisch mooie uitvoering. Hartelijk dank!
Ik kom steeds maar weer terug naar de Bachinterpretaties van de Nederlandse Bach Vereniging als mijn ziel bij God wil zijn.❤
Bravissima!!!
20:57 - this followed the sermon in the funeral service. After the sermon used words to show the importance of the electress this piece put it to music. This is a very meaningful and technically tough piece.
Today it is good for cleaning out the sinuses.
Œuvre admirable ainsi que l'interprétation .
מקסים !!!
That second recitative at 10:12 gives me chills every time
Perfect
classieux !
My favourite Bach-Cantata (or Bach-piece) in a terrific version. Especially the ending-choir with its unison-parts is rousing and generates goose-bumps. Like Gardiners recording it also has the right tempo. Sara Mingardo became younger? Oh no, its Luciana Mancini! Could be Mingardo's daughter...and also her voice is similar. A real belladonna.
Oh shittttt, hier keek ik al heel lang naar uit
maravilhoso
Divino
G Great andrea fantastic WONDERFUL beatiful excellent
