Bach - Cantata Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis BWV 21 - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2024
- The Italian influence could be heard immediately in Bach’s music during his time in Weimar. In the opening chorus of this cantata, 'Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis', performed by the Netherlands Bach Society conducted by Shunske Sato, you can hear clear echoes of one of Vivaldi’s concertos.
An early version of the cantata probably originated in 1713, written for the funeral of the wife of a high court official, on 8 October. The theme of the sermon for this service was psalm 94, verse 19, which is precisely the text of the opening chorus of Bach’s cantata. This early version consisted only of parts 2-6 and 9.
In March 1714, Bach was told that he must “monatlich neüe Stücke ufführen” for the court chapel. And so the church cantatas for Weimar were born. On 17 June, the third Sunday after Trinity, the longer version of this cantata was performed there.

Breath taken, left speechless! Masterpiece.Literally.
Merveilleux. Je n'ai pas de mots. Je vais la ré-écouter encore et encore. Merci.
Fantastisch! Ik heb deze uitvoering van deze Cantate vastgezet!
Ik ben zó blij met All Of Bach!
Jullie doen fantastisch werk!
Veel dank!

Bach, arguably the best antidepressant available, together with a brisk walk in the woods.
Oh yes indeed!
Yes, Bach, the walk and a dog.
For sure
Or a round of golf with a good friend..
La Musica Terapeutica di Bach mi ha aiutato a sconfiggere la mia Depressione Soli Deo Gloria onore al grande Kappellmeister di Lipsia 😊❤
I will come back to this performance again and again. A gem! The instrumentalists and vocalists are superb. The oboist is magnificent.
Si señor
Please come Bach :)
Really?
@@ru99414 Why, yes! And for the reasons I gave. Their performance is quite wonderful!
I have two versions of this piece on my favorites of all time on my Spotify.
This one exceeds them both.
This is absolute euphoria. I literally burst into tears several times in this performance.
An excellent performance of my favorite cantata ... I call it the "Little Passion". Heard it for the first time after I was in a high speed collision with a semi that left me in a coma. Must have slept well then, for I didn't sleep again after I awoke from it. Not a wink - for three years. It was a sheer, unmitigated hell that left me looking for a way out on every upper story of a high-rise, at every busy street corner. Only an out-of-body experience, that showed me that pain, even torment, had value for the soul, held me back - grudgingly. It was then that I discovered Bach. First Glenn Gould's 1980 recording of the Goldberg Variations. I listened to it again and again for hours, days. That led to the Well-Tempered Clavier. Something about the counterpoint soothed my frenzied mind. Then I heard the Matthew Passion, which was mysteriously cathartic. Peter's failure was personal, the "Erbarme Dich" was my cry. At some point I found the cantatas, this was the first. It's quick succession from despair, the depths of abandonment, to that dancing dialog - "You hate me!" "No, I don't!". It takes us from utter Verzweiflung to hope again in under 40 minutes. Soli Deo gloria, sure, but Bach's music is like the healing waters of a heavenly health spa.
Such joy in the perfect blend of voices and instruments thankyou.
I am convinced that listening to Bach's music re-orders the wiring of the brain - gradually putting it into it's proper functioning state.
That sounds awful, I'm so glad you're better.
My brain could almost write a thesis on how wonderful this performance is, but my heart and soul just want to say Thank You!!!
Bach has everything you need in music, there isn't one single emotion this man didn't put to paper, I go through music of all genres and time periods, but this is eternal cause Bach didnt just compose music for a time or a people, he peaked the fabric of our universe and saw what music is perfect for our specific species.
magnifique réflexion à laquelle je souscris ...
Some say that elitist Bach scholars are guilty of making it appear as if Bach can only be comprehended by them. I'm just a working class bloke with lower education, yet Bach talks straight to me in his incredible wisdom, by both, music and lyrics.
To me Bach is the Jordan Peterson of music: "Listen, learn, straighten up, be truthful to yourself and others and address the bloody issues in your life!"
I want more friends like you in my life. Really beautiful.
@@guillermopalma480 Indeed!
"The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul." - JS Bach
Netherlands Bach is the most sublime ensemble in the world. Their renderings are transportive. Like the urtext editions that began more than half a century ago, this group has set THE standard for excellence in historical performance. Bravi, all.
exactly !
Bellísimo,obsolutamente bello
Them and Bach Collegium Japan are in a league of their own.
They transcend time and space in their presentations.
I could not agree more. Keeping the chorus small is part of the reason for the singular beauty of this recording. The physics of sound is such that eighteen voices can equal the volume of a much larger group while producing far less of what engineers call "noise" (everything other than the intended "signal"). At the same time, partly in consequence, the smaller group will sing with substantially greater precision at great benefit to purity of tone and clarity of enunciation. This is, indeed, a benchmark performance, setting a high standard to which other professional ensembles may profitably aspire. A thrilling rendition to the most jaded ear.
I feel so proud that the first violinist of this famous institute, has been chosen as their music director.
Kaum in Worte zu fassen - einfach nur unglaublich.
Bachs Musik ist immer wieder Balsam für Ohren, Geist und Seele.
Right from the start you're in one of Bachs finest pieces of music he ever made. This sinfonia, unbelievable well played, is really sensational.
Close your eyes and hear how brilliant the instruments are interacting. This is one of a kind.
gorgeous style from all players but the oboist is stellar. Bravo sir.
This is easily becoming my favorite UA-cam channel.
This performance reached a level of sublime perfection and divine grace that it seemed for a moment that the greatest composer of all time came back to life. Bravo
It's a privilege living in the world where I can subscribe this channel.🤝
To think that all over the world we can listen to this magnificence. How I wish my mother was still here so we could enjoy this together !
Such perfection . My blessing to each one of you xxxx Australia.
MERCI, où que soit votre Maman, Bach partage sa musique chez les Élus, il est une emanation de Dieu💫✨💞🙏 🌟
As a younger man I thought the most joy I could get from Bach performances was the string and keyboard works. As I get older, it's these works with Oboe interplay that are bowling me over. This Seufzer, Tränen Aria with the soprano is close to musical perfection.
Bach is always wonderful, but I find that he always gave his very best to the glorification of God. Blessings be upon you, my friend.
🙏🏼
The NBS is an endless miracle. "Bäche von gesalznen Zähren " is a monument of beauty. Just fantastic. What else to add ? we are all running out of superlatives
Just terrific. I don’t know what I’d do without the NBS! And Shunske Sato’s inspired, joyful direction is everything!
This is the first of Bach's Cantatas that I have listened to. It's wonderful to know that there are at least 70 more to look forward to, beautifully performed by the Netherlands Bach Society. Thank you!
Enjoy!
This was absolutely stunning; I first heard this performed by Leonhardt/Harnoncourt, which is rather a long time ago. It is one of my favourite cantatas and this performance blew me away. (That oboist is just unbelievable, if one must single out anyone.) Thank you so much NBS. Truly Bach is the master of all.
I've never heard this cantata before. Every time I hear your group perform, it feels like it gives me a little foretaste of Heaven. However, this particular one really made me smile more than usual, and cheered me up on what has been kind of a rough week. Thank you, thank you!! Blessings from Colorado, USA.
First of all, the duet is absolutely stunning. It is the best recording of the duet I've heard. Captivating.
Second, I have a friend who died some 7 years ago, and this Cantata was his favorite spiritual work of Bach. I just wish I could send this to him. Maybe they have UA-cam in heaven.
Au Paradis, pour l'éternité, Bach est présent, car QUI d'autre est plus proche de l'Esprit que lui?
Prions qu'il nous accompagne tous dans notre passage de l'autre côté du voile ✨
Amen 🙏💫
オランダバッハ協会の演奏はいつも、創造的であると同時に求道的。心の深いところに届きます。敬意と感謝を込めて、ありがとう。
Ich bin sprachlos. Seriously what are those voices and instrumentists??? Amazing!!!!!
Only Bach could create the tremendous sadness expressed immediately by the choral part.
I agree with you. Bach expresses the negative emotions much better than the positive ones, I think. This has long been a favorite cantata of mine...
This is the best recording of this cantata I've ever heard! (And I've heard several.) The last movement is so joyous that it moved me deeply. Well done to all performers and a really fine conductor!
this is truly a gift for mankind.
This cantanta is one of the most heartstrucking, so emotive and deep!!!
Perfection in all aspects. Every performer has his part mastered to perfection yet no one is standing out on his own and in perfect harmony and united in this piece in Bach’s intention. It is not easy to achieve such level of performance and interpretation. Sato is truly talented as a conductor and leader, not just as violinist. He gives each player and singer autonomy and freedom of expression yet unites everyone in perfect balance. Such beauty and humanity.
Like our friend from China, I should love this glorious music to resonate in all the underground bunkers in Ukraine and on the streets so that the Russian soldiers might hear this also and detach themselves from the tragic fighting which is killing 100,s of them as well as the innocent Ukrainian people.God bless both sides and again a million thanks for this heavenly and timely music.Elaine.Cardiff. S Wales
I do agree with you Elaine... Olivier from Paris, France.
Perfectly said. Wonderful, wonderful, so many thanks to all!
😮iiii 0:53 0:53 😅😅😅😮😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 0:58

I am speechless, again, the deep heavenly soothing sounds perfectly composed and performed, it fills my heart with joy!
Thank you Shunske Sato and to all performers.
I'm in tears. This performance touched me to the core! Thank you seems so inadequate to express the profound gratitude in my heart.
As am I.
This cantata is a masterpiece, and so is the interpretation, too! What a wonderful flirtation between the soul and Jesus :D
Komm, mein Jesu is just perfect. So beautiful. And the soprano is amazing!
…but of course the crown jewel is the movement that follows!
the social distancing adds another dimension to the overall sound. I like it
Ich schließe mich einem anderen Kommentar an: "Kaum in Worte zu fassen - einfach nur unglaublich." Und diese Aufführung ist phänomenal, exzellent, wunderschön!!
Ja "Bachs Musik ist immer wieder Balsam für Ohren, Geist und Seele."
Best music channel ever, what a treasure these performances are.
Una delle migliori esecuzioni per questo immenso capolavoro di Bach. Orchestra, direttore e cantanti magnifici.
I can’t get enough of this performance and of the incredible master stroke that this cantata is. Bravo Sato.
Congratulations on completing one of Bach's most difficult Cantata's. This has always been one of my favourites of Bach. Difficult and Challenging vocally, instrumentally and logistically. The hardest part with all of this complexity and moving pieces, is keeping the excitement and emotionalism in tack and driving forward. Shunske Sato does an excellent job of directing this extraordinary Cantata. Ivan Podyomov oboe playing is magical and all of the soloists excel.
The first video topped my UA-cam on my birthday, thank you UNIVERSE sending this algorithmic serendipity to me. Thank you Bach and the wonderful musicians. I am very grateful to be alive this very moment. 🙏🏻👵🏻🦋🧠🥰🌈
What a wonderful version of this famous piece! A year ago too. How can I have overlooked this? Unbelievable! Emotionally targeting me totally.
My deepest praise to the performers.
This is the most divine performance...I am sitting by a woodburning stove in candle light. In Mid Wales,..grieving + + for the loss of my beloved partner.Thankyou NBS for your uplifting and healing music...Elaine .
佐藤俊介 さん、素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます。CD買いました。日本で演奏会には是非足を運びます。
バッハのニ短調バイオリン協奏曲の演奏で衝撃を受け、この無伴奏バイオリンのためのソナタとパルティータ他の演奏も毎日楽しく拝見しています。
あなたの才能と献身には感動と感謝しかありません。これからのご活躍を心から楽しみにし陰ながら応援しています。
ご存じか分かりませんが、最近日本では「推し」という言葉が流行っているようで、今一つピンときませんでしたが、
ようやく私にも「推し」たいアーティストが見つかりました。
Ik kan het niet beter zeggen en ben het helemaal met je eens! Ik mis hem bij de Bachvereniging😢
Oboist was star of performance--all were superb!!! What glorious music!!!
Wow, Bach must be jumping up and down with joy! Wonderful!!!
the NBS make it look easy, the true mark of genius. not to mention of Bach which never becomes repetitive even after listening a hundred times. Shunske Sato seems to have Bach in his blood. his evident pleasure in the duet between True and Cutting says it all
This Sinfonia gives me the chills even after 1000 times of listening in my life.
Exquisite. Rarely can I use classical as background, but a difficult task in progress, so just this once... HOWEVER - when this duet began I had to stop what I was doing and sit down and pay full attention. Schonstest... the 'ja" and "nein" were somewhat evocative of "la ci darem," but with a gentle, spiritual dimension... very sweet indeed....
J'éprouve une immense reconnaissance envers tous ces artistes qui, 274 après la mort de Bach, perpétuent l'oeuvre si majeure, éblouissante et bienfaisante du maître de Leipzig 🙏 Et quel duo de Stephanie True et Felix Schwandtke avec Komm, mein Jesu, un pur régal !
LISTENING TO THE NBS PERFORMANCES OF BACH CANTATAS HAVE ENRICHED MY SPIRIT AND SOUL BEYOND MEASURE. THE PERFECTION OF BEAUTY AND CONSOLATION CAN BE FOUND HERE AS NOWHERE ELSE. I SINCERLY AM GRATEFUL
. SPECIAL APPRECIATION FOR THE OBOE PLAYER WHO UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING OF MUSICAL EXPRESSION.
Magnificent performance, both in terms of execution and interpretation. Fantastic orchestra (magnificent oboe!) and vocally perfect soloists! One of the most beautiful performances I have ever heard!
What can be said of Bach and hid music that hasn't already been said? It is simply miraculous... While teams of engineers and scientists spend decades and billions of dollars to build tools to understand the universe, its majesty and mystery was made manifest in the music of this genius mind three hundred years ago...
I wish the Netherlands Bach Society would produce a video showing us how such a production is recorded, showing us the technicians at work. But also the creation, the composing, the practicing. This is a high quality production in my humble opinion.
Ich höre es immer wieder.
Thank very much Sato San and all musicians and chorus/soloists. Thank you J S Bach. Thank all that made possible this wonderful jewel reach my heart and mind.
Absolutely awesome! Mere mortal words cannot express how this performance truly reflects the text Bach lays out to us in all its magnificence. The facial expressions of the vocalists, singing or not, synchronize so perfectly with the praise and adorations conveyed in the final chorus. Amen, alleluia!
The story developing from the initial melancholic and sad choral to the bombastic and glittering final one is just breathtaking. As usual performed by a superb ensemble, of course with the outstanding Ivan Podyomov at the obe. A true gem of baroc music. Thank you NBS!
Yes.
"The story developing from the initial melancholic and sad choral" - the very first version of the cantata (from Bach of course) was to a funeral, with less sections; after with two parts and 11 sections, to "in ogni tempo" Bach wrote. "the bombastic...final" is a double fugue, and only Bach wrote them like that, and far from others, no one indeed, it's simple like that!
This is the first NBS recording made since the beginning of the pandemic that I have seen. What a blessing it is! Congratulations on resuming your peerless series. Thank you for nourishing hope.
The darkness of this video is a great undertone. It's a very nice visual representation of the mood of the work.
I have read that Bach wrote this not long after he returned from a business trip, to find his first wife dead and buried. I would feel this way too.
One of the masteries of Bach was his ability to accurately describe The Human condition in a brilliant but human way. A genius's view of how we all feel. I am loathe to put Bach into a little box named "Genius". He was something more.... but what I cannot say.
Jamal Labarge: Indeed the visual presentation in this video is on the same extremely high level as the music. Never seen such a perfect match of sound and vision. Great music, great performance, great recording.
Glory to the One who freely gives Everlasting Life to all who believe in Him for it (John 3:16) .
This Cantata reflects the most precious and sublime truths of His matchless love .
Very moving, thank you to all the players and singers, and to Mr. Sato of course.
Happy to see Sato as conductor 😁
The first Bach Cantata I ever bought when I was a boy in the early 70s, and still my favourite.
Quel plaisir de revoir à nouveau Netherlands Bach Society explorer le monde fantastique des cantates de JS.Bach ! Bien sûr nous nous sommes régalés des divers concertos, symphonies, œuvres pour instrument solo etc mais je me disais, lointain néophyte, Qui va diriger de nouveau les cantates en succession du grand et si convivial Van Veldhoven puisque notre très aimé Sato semblait ne se consacrer qu’à son violon ? Allait-il diriger ? Hésitait-il ? Allait-il sauter le pas ? De France loin de votre activité mensuelle, bref je m’inquiétais… Hé bien voilà, nous découvrons avec joie et un grand bonheur, Sato en chef d’orchestre ! Bravissimo ! Et bravo à toute la Compagnie; bonne route ensemble et avec nous, Public international ! Good luck !
Congratulations to Shunsuke Sato. This performance is the best, I ever heard!
Uit de woestijn ten noorden van Saoedi-Arabië, bedankt
Bach is the legend of all time. as always, i was listening to an excellent cantata work of Bach. Excellent orchestra , excellent chorus, excellent soloists, plus, excellent conductor. My congratulations to the whole music body. Thanks for uploading.
The final choir is thrilling ! Goosebumps !
It's my most favorite piece among this cantata!
Eine traumhafte und ergreifende Interpretation. Danke dafür 🥰
What a present to the world. A cordial THANK YOU to the Netherlands Bach Society!
This is amazing - music of Heaven, and so movingly performed. Well done Shunske Sato and musicians. More like this please!
Sato no es solamente un gran violinista (su versión de la Ciaconna de la Partita 2 es excelente) sino un notable director. Gracias Nederland Bach Society. Y felicitaciones a solistas y orquesta.
Such an interesting cantata. The first part so reminiscent of the early cantatas such as Aus der tiefen,, such beautiful melancholy and sublime use. of oboe. Then to follow up such despair with inklings of hope followed by such a magnificent final chorus. What would the last two years had been like without Bach. Thank you for sharing such beauty with the world.
A most stunning performance all around. Felix Schwandtke’s vocals are delicious. And Sato’s direction perfection.
Toujours aussi merveilleux et émouvant, et comme toujours pour moi les tous meilleurs interprètes pour les œuvres de Johannes Sebastián BACH,... MERCI, DANKE !
A superb piece and a superb perfomance!
This is a truly sublime performance with wonderful musicianship all round.
There no adjectives to describe how fundamental the Netherlands Bach Society became for arts. Simply stunning and every single note thought out and placed beautifully.
Words are simply inadequate. Divine perfection!!! I could listen to this group all day long. Thank you for sharing!
So habe ich Johann Sebastian Bach noch nie gehört, ernsthaft,gleichzeitig oder im nächsten Moment verspielt,ein Flirt mit dem ...Schicksal, der Person,die er über Alles liebt ?Voller Hoffnung und Kraft für die Zukunft.Scherzhaft,und tiefgründig,bei meisterhafter Musik,wie auch Solisten. Man hört zu und lächelt über die Leichtigkeit und Scherze,die verdeckte Botschaft ?, den Zuspruch des Komponisten zur Suche nach Freude und Liebe im Leben.
I can’t imagine how this could be any better. WOW! Blows me away ❤
One of Bach´s greatest cantatas where he has no problems in developing his main musical theme. The theme about trust and hope, and how we sometimes fail in our belief. And how this belief and failure can be transmitted into great music.
A symphony of a thousand ,,,,,hearts.....Sato has correctly calibrated the needs of our time...
Marvellous performance in all aspects, including setting, lighting and camerawork. The NBS does a stellar job, as always.
My Favourite Cantata alongside with BWV4. I am a long time subscriber and this cheered me up Enormously!!
Keep coming back to this page. It means so much to me. Thank you!
Beautiful, complex, well done; blessings on all the musicians who made this happen.
A glorious testament (old and new) of hope delivered with the grace and poise that we have come to expect from the Netherlands Bach Society! What a pleasure seeing Shunske Sato conducting from the heart of the ensemble. And what a beautiful solution to the contemporary dilemma of "socially distanced" performance. You are not playing to an empty hall. The feeling here is of an inward focus that radiates outward to a suffering world. Play on, my friends!
I wonder if they are playing Bach or if Bach is playing them . . . . . ?
Surely this is THE music to heal the pain of 'these times' of violence and confusion. The human soul feels abandoned and rejected, in torment while the redemptive Light tenderly coaxes it back into loving connection. Deepest gratitude to all involved in the making of this exquisite and sublime video. Bravo!
Феноменальный прорыв в съемке и подаче виртуозного исполнения шедевра классической музыки!
The alleluia is beyond moving- it IS celestial movement. Incredible! Many thanks and blessings to all!
Wundervoll! Demokratische Art zu leiten und den einzelnen Künstlern den Raum zur Mit-Führung zu überlassen...
I have never heard the famous soprano aria that slow before, but, everything you have done, conventional or not, always works... A truly beautiful performance. Thank you.
Desde minuto 28.02 maravilla de combinacion celeste de voces que a partir de 30.42 sw torna aun mas imponente. Gloria a Bach y Gloria a Dios inspirador. Obra magnifica.
A interpretação de Bach pelo "Netherlands Bach Society" é sublime, deixa-nos apaixonados pela música de altíssimo nível do mestre germânico. Dicção, sonoridade e instrumentação afinadíssimos. Excelente. Melhor interpretação da cantata "Ich hatte viel bekkümernis" que vi até hoje.
Not single performer out of place! perfection to Michelangelo's level !👌
Amazing how the Sei nun wieder zufrieden chorus brings peace to my heart, even without knowing what the words mean (e.g., be at peace again, my soul).
I literally stopped working to hear the soprano aria. This is the BEST performance I've heard of this aria ever...OMG Stefanie is WONDERFUL
One of Bach's most impressive cantates, with excellent performers, Guy Cutting is outstanding!
wonderful! the soloist at 7:12 absolutely killed it, what a voice
