  • John Eliot Gardiner takes advantage of a short break between concerts in Eisenach to do a little on the spot investigation. It was here in the year 1685 that Johann Sebastian Bach was born. The british conductor got it into his head to perform the entire corpus of Johann Sebastian Bach's known cantatas during the jubilae year 2000. That is over 80 concerts, featuring 200 cantatas in only 12 months. All the cantatas have to be performed on the Sundays and religious festivals for which Bach originally wrote them. John Elliot Gardiner calls it "The Bach Cantata Pilgrimage". Many concerts will be performed in places in Saxony and Thuringia where Bach used to live. For Gardiner a very personal quest on the trail of Bach himself.

    Gardener's visit to the old church in PomSen is particularly significant because it represents the most authentic historic location, one that hasn't suffered restoration where we can safely look back in time and feel Bach's presence within the church's inner and outer environment. Absolutely fascinating. Gardener's spoken German is very proficient too. An outstanding documentary, in fact the best I've seen! Gosh I could watch this for hours!

    Has there been any thought given to stitching these UA-cam talks of John Eliot Gardiner together as an accompaniment to his book Music in the Castle of Heaven? They are excellent and very revealing of Bach's brilliance in music and of his life generally.

      well i turned on german subtitles because of that and because i thought to understand the german language somehow better than that kind of english. [i was born just between britain and deutschland.]
      now what we got then was, well, readable rather well when english was spoken, and an even funnier kind of german when both persons spoke german on the audio. really lots of laughing loudly. by the way, mr. gardiner seems to be very very good at german.

    I read that those running Bach's school were malevolent; chosing bad singers to annoy him. Bach's work is still underappreciated as we will never understand his interest with numerology. In the 3 Lutheran hymnals I used, only a couple were by J.S. Bach. I imagine that Martin Luther would be disappointed that most Lutheran Pastors make a lot more than Roman Catholic Priests. I was raised Catholic aned worked for a Lutheran Church. The Pastor's car allowance was about the same as my salary for about the same amount of work. The Pastor also owned 2 houses and several other pastors were reported to be "double-dipping": requesting user fees on top of their generous salary, housing and car allowance. I've never heard of a Catholic priest owning anything, not even a car. Many catholic priests, monks and nuns take vows of poverty. Everyone at the Lutheran church I worked at was very well off. Getting a raise was impossible so I quit.

    Fine video. I personally do not think Bach would have been a great opera composer, fortunately for music history we have Handel who was Bach`s equal but in the realm of opera. Of the 40+ operas he wrote are absolutely hidden treasures still to be discovered.

    • @777rogerf
      @777rogerf Рік тому

      That is true. His oratorios had a dramatic element, but they are not operas. However, in a commentary on contemporary composers, Handel ended by writing, "And then there is Herr Bach, the master of us all."

    A wonderful thing to do, but perhaps what would have been more appropriate for the pilgrimage is the presentation of all of the cantatas in their proper liturgical context - i.e. within Gottesdiesnt / Lutheran worship - rather than in concerts. They are not concert performance works.
