I have never heard such inspired and joyful playing, A real treat for J.S.Bach fans and supporters.

[@ollehedstrom3536]

This ensemble should record and upload more of Bach’s sacred works. Top class!

[@neilwalsh3977]

What I particularly marvel about the Cantatas is the relentless way Bach derives almost all the subsequent material from the opening motives.

[@ItalianCenterWest]

Great ensemble, top level like Koopman, Gardiner, Herrewege... Bravi!

[@treewalker1070]

I agree, I would love to hear more cantata performances from them!

[@victorial.morgan9386]

All that brio in the bass aria was about John the Baptist quickening in the womb.

[@neilwalsh3977]

: )

[@fabriciorodriguezsampaio4601]

El cello, el órgano y el oboe (medio afónico) no están muy coordinados en el aria de tenor, mmm, bonita iglesia

The rapid succession of extreme closeups is distracting!

[@killer99647]

I actually like it, it gives the video of the performance a very cinematic feel. Definitely quite unusual though. Reminds me of the audience close-ups Bergman did when shooting the The Magic Flute.

[@micheal49]

Scroll up to avoid the conductor. Yeesh!

[@daniel3231995]

lol sign of genius :P

[@grahamnancledra7036]

Cruel.

[@mwnyc3976]

Great musician, but yeah. You should see him play harpsichord solos -- sometimes his eyes literally roll back in his head. But he's a great musician.

[@simon_melomano]

I find him entertaining to watch
