Beautifully stated. I visited Leipzig for the first time in August and when the organist played the chorale movement of 140 I had to duck into a dark corner and have meself a meltdown! My day always begins with Bach and espresso. He is the true north of musicians. I went catatonic when I first beheld the slab. When I was 4, I asked my dad why I always cried when Mommy practiced Chopin and he listened to Bach non stop on the "HiFi". His answer? "You'll know someday". And, I do.
I completely agree. I made a special pilgrimage to this beautiful church in August to pay homage to the Great One who rests there. I thanked him from the bottom of my heart for what he bestowed on all us suffering humans on this poor Earth! Bless Johann Sebastian Bach forever.
Ja! I travelled to Leipzig from Almere in August when my Dutch husband and I were visiting family. Being in that church was not unlike taking a trip to Heaven.
Music composed by an angel, sung with an angelic voice in a beautiful church where the angel of music sleeps. I, finally, visited the Thomaskirche in August and a high point of my 70 years on Earth. Bless the great Johann Sebastian Bach forever for what he left us struggling mortals.
Herr Biller. Ein Mann,der es verstand die Musik Bachs mit seinem Chor auf seine Art umzusetzen. Jede Zeit hat ihre Menschen. So hoffe ich, Herr Biller kann,trotz seiner Erkrankung dieses Jahr eine schöne Weihnacht erleben. Allen eine Frohe Weihnachten und ein gutes Neues Jahr 2022 🍾☃️🙏
БРАВО!!БРАВИСИМО!!! Монументално, прекрасно ,една малка част от гениалния-БАХ.Претворена вдъхновяващо от.симф.оркестър и този чудесен хор от забележителни деца.Поздравления от България !!!!💝
Благодаря ви за този страхотен коментар: BRAVO !! BRAVISIMO !!! Monumental, wonderful, a small part of the genius-BACH. Transformed inspiringly by the symphony orchestra and this wonderful choir of remarkable children. Congratulations from Bulgaria !!!! 💝
These boys are such pros: thanks for this. Bach always lifts my spirit. I love how the soloist treble kindly looks over at the youngster he is obviously mentoring and gives a smile of encouragement at 2.31. He is obviously devoted to the music. Georg was a fantastic conductor too so precise and easy to follow. I know the last part here in the UK as the hymn “A Brighter Dawn is Breaking”
I think the soloist is actually an alto. The tradition in Germany is for boys to sing alto as well as treble, unlike in the Anglican tradition, for example.
In the 1st place, there is no "soloist" at 2:31 ! In the 2nd place, there are THREE soloists: Alto in movement 2 Bass in movement 4 Soprano and the same Bass in movement 5.
@@laurencethenewlyricist167 Which Anglican tradition is that where alto parts are not sung by boys? That must be a very recent tradition. Traditionally, English high church music did not use countertenors or female voices to sing any parts. In Germany, females voices were not used in church music until the 19th century. The tradition in both countries began in the Middle Ages and was founded on the words of St. Paul: "Women shall be silent in the church."
Glücklicherweise kein so überdrehtes Tempo wie bei den "Spezialisten" für Alte Musik, wo selbst wirklich gute Orchestermusiker in Schwierigkeiten kommen. Vielleicht sollten die Herreweghes & Co. vor den Proben und Konzerten erst einmal ein paar Autobahnrunden mit 200km/h absolvieren, bevor sie sich Bach widmen. Dann könnten sie vielleicht auch die schwierigeren langsamen Tempi goutieren.
The most exquisite music ever written. Bach is my life.

Ich auch!
Bach never lets the ball drop for a second. Pure energy from heaven. And these boys are the angels.
Bach ist und bleibt der größte Komponist aller Zeiten für mich.

I, completely, agree.
He is.
Wer ist der junge Alt-Solist? Ganz große Klasse!
Bachs Musik ist und bleibt einfach ein Ohrenschmaus, egal welche Komposition gespielt wird. Er tut so gut für Geist und Seele ❤❤
phantastisch dieser silbrige Sopranklang
Fantastic! Happiness!!!
Agree. Greetings from Marta and Olav (van Hezewijk--my Little Dutch Boy!

This is great. I love Bach's cantatas and would be very happy to see more performances of them from the Thomanerchor.
Oh, please do!

Ah - you meant the second soloist. He's definitely a treble!

@@laurencethenewlyricist167 The 2nd soloist performing in this cantata is a BASS !!!

Danke lieber Chorgesang für den herrlichen Beitrag, besonders willkommen in diese Corona Zeit.
Vielen Dank lieber Peter 💖.
Bach es el padre de la música, sus obras sublimes llegan al alma, 🎼🎶❤
Gracias por este maravilloso comentario 😊: Bach is the father of music, his sublime works reach the soul, 🎼🎶❤
That was just terrific.
Thank you for your great feedback, yes it's a true treasure from our archive 😊.
@@ChorGesang Well it was truly beautiful. thanks for sharing.
@@williamwilson4669 You are welcome 💖
¡ Qué mareo con la flautista.! Con menor movimiento también se consigue expresividad.
Beautiful 🇩🇪
Thank you!
Ja Schön Josen
Oh finally not a fugue.
Min 00:28 : ..... He's is Bach!!
"Bach's 9th Symphony."
Great voices, but modern instruments. Those valved soprano horns have to go!
