Maestro Lutz, aunque conozco a BACH desde niño, es la primera vez que escucho esta cantata. Felicitaciones a usted y su maravilloso Coro y Orquesta.

Bach en 300 años no ha sido superado.Su música transmite todos los sentimientos que invaden el alma humana. El maestro Lutz sabe hacerla llegar a nosotros de una manera inigualable.
Herzlichen Dank allen Akteuren und besonders dem unermüdlichen Rudolf Lutz, der einmal mehr eine grandiose Aufführung abgeliefert hat. Ich habe viele Konzerte von Anfang an mitverfolgt und bin begeistert von der Präzision des Chores und der Solisten. Mitreißend!
Cantata sobrecogedora, como todas ....un encanto para el alma....se contó con la presencia del maestro japonés Masaki Suzuki, el más grande experto en Bach....sus interpretaciones son bellísimas!!!....
Georg Poplutz's rendition of the greatest ever Bach -aria alongside Patrick Hendrichs's interjections with the eschatological Johannes Passion Choral can only be summarised thus : Ministry to the fellow-human. Perhaps the answer to the question "Why a trumpet "- because it will signal the Resurrection . ".....He will wipe away every tear from their eyes , and death shall be no more ...." (Rev. 21:4)
In the hands of Rudolf Lutz c. s. BWV 19 becomes a true feast. In the opening choir the sparks are flying, the end of the bass recitativo and the aria for tenor are warm blankets for everyone who feels cold. The bravoure and the virtuosity of the soprano show that she is not afraid of anything or anyone and the trumpet in the tenor aria is not made by men, but dropped from heaven, perhaps on purpose.. I would say to Rudolf Lutz and all his friends: "Bleibt, ihr Engel, bleibt"!
Thank you for your beautiful words! We're thrilled to know that our music resonates so deeply with you. It's an honor to inspire happiness and bring a sense of divine perfection through our work. We hope this cantata continues to uplift and inspire you. Your support means the world to us!
Sublime. Bach was my dad's favorite composer. As I grow older, I really hope GenX and younger find a large place for Baroque and Classical music on our playlists. Bleibt Ihr Engel... translation: Abide, you angels, abide with me. Guide me on both sides So that my foot may not slip. But teach me to sing also here [on earth] Your great “Holy” And to sing thanks to the Most High. Abide, you angels, abide with me.
Eine faszinierend schöne Wahnsinns Bachkantate voller musikalischer Kontraste: erst der rasante Eingangschor über die kämpfenden Engel, in der Mitte die zauberhafte Tenorarie, schützende Engel besingend, und dann der krönende Abschlusschoral, einfach nur himmlisch schön.
Esta cantata es un ejemplo de la IDENTIDAD Y CULTURA ALEMANAS....donde la suma armoniosa de cantantes e instrumentistas en manos del GRAN JUAN SEBASTIAN hacen posible esta "maramillosa catedral sonora"...muy dificil de encontrar algo similar en otro pais....
the shoutout to Suzuki at the beginning was sweet and tells how far the Bachstiftung has come if it had such esteemed director as guest. I'm wondering if Lutz felt especially energised by his presence because the first (great) choir bristles with excitement, and it's very easy to make it howling, which doesn't happen here. I love the contrast between the powerful choir and chorale with the chiselled and very difficult arias. The soloists perform very well, although Poplutz occasionally veils his voice and that makes him feel a bit 'tired', which is not my favourite effect. Julia Doyle is impeccable. The orchestra is great as usual -love the oboes in the first aria. A good choice of tempos (I might have done with a smidgen less rushed first choir but that's details) round up a delightful performance.
Bravo tutti!. This was a short, but difficult canrata. The opening chorus was excellent, and full of energy, and enthusiasm. No introduction made starting a challenge. The Soprano had a crisp and clear melodious tone and a beautiful line. I’d love to hear her with more solo work perhaps from Cantata #51 , or the Passions. Even though the Bass had little to sing, his recit. set the tone for the triumphant resolution between God, Satan,and Man. I very much enjoyed the Tenor aria. It was one of the most difficult Bach Tenor arias I’ve ever heard. The breath control for the extremely long phrases, and the vocal line with seemingly unending bel canto like melismas were beautifully sung. Such a pleasure to hear this work.
The opening chorus of Cantata 19, as played here, stands out as one of the best I have heard. IThe final choral was majestic as well.I liked that the violin and wind instument players were not sitting; perhaps this contributing to their outstanding performance. The interpretation of the tenor was deep and spiritual. In contrast, the interpretation of the soprano sounded more "secular" to my ears (sometimes I think the choice of children or young singers give to the Cantatas a purity and a delicacy they deserve). The playing of the 2 oboes was fresh and invigorating. Overall, a great-sounding ensemble and a very satisfying result.

Laß sie ruhn in deinem Schoß, Let my soul rest in your bosom Erfüll sie mit Freud und Trost, fill it with joy and consolation Bis der Leib kommt aus der Erde until my body comes from the earth Und mit ihr vereinigt werde. and is united with it.
The Ara tenor definitely sat on the song too long. Less is better, more is worse. But Julia Doyle she is magnificent. That lady amazes me with her heavenly voice.
And, to think that not one positive comment about Bach's Cantatas has come down to us from any one at any of the four Leipzig churches during Bach's tenure there as Thomaskantor. The town Council complained frequently and was not very supportive of their Kantor. A fitting metaphor would be the throwing of pearls before swine.
Two remarks: 1) contemporary judgements are not necessarily right, especially not those from people with political power. 2) Thanks to Felix Mendelssohn we know about Bach. He was a sort angel sent by haven. Badly treated by people with political power later in history.
This Is simply not true. There are different positive comments about Bach's cantatas and vocal works, from the time spent in Weimar to Leipzig. The Town council had all their reasons not to be Happy with Bach's work as a cantor, since he was really "incorriggible" and didn't respect all his duties
Und besonders erfreulich Herr Poplutz; zuerst denkt man: Wie soll das denn funktionieren, dieses herrliche Siciliano ohne Daniel Johannsen. Aber er macht das großartig.
This is truly outstanding -- one of the finest performances of any baroque music I've ever heard. The expression and clarity are wonderful.
Greatest composer Johan Sebastian Bach, thank you from Namibia!
Special congratulations to M. Georg Poplutz! His sensitivity and emotion are perfect in this so difficult aria. 👏👏👏

Absolut wunderbar! Gänsehaut gleich zu Beginn mit dem Choral.
Lutz opens the Heavens with this final Choral. 🙌 Eternal
オルガン・チェンバロ奏者であり、バッハ・コレギウム・ジャパンを設立してバッハの教会カンタータ全曲録音をした鈴木雅明氏と、現在バッハ・コレギウム・ジャパンを引き継いだ主席指揮者である鈴木雅明の子、鈴木優人氏が演奏前に紹介された。
偶然このyoutubeで見つけて驚きです。
Julia Doyle joins the chorale at the end. What beauty.
And why not - Bach at his full-on best.
Wow Julia Doyle! This is incredibly beautiful. Thank you🙏🏻
Julia Doyle - a voice like sunshine
One of the best Bach sopranos we have today/
Breathtaking
I'm hypnotized by this performance
Bach hits the ground running and blows the doors off the church!

Magnificent performance and interpretation!! the Choral takes you straight to heaven
"Bleibt ihr Engeln" was such a strong aria I adored it, wonderfully sung.
Man I just love that arpeggio at 9:29

Sublime.
Bach was my dad's favorite composer. As I grow older, I really hope GenX and younger find a large place for Baroque and Classical music on our playlists.
Bleibt Ihr Engel... translation:
Abide, you angels, abide with me.

But teach me to sing also here [on earth]
Your great “Holy”

The flower arrangements are particularly beautiful (!) as was the performance !

Danke für das Feedback. Wie genau meinen Sie es, dass sich unsere Interpretation von anderen abhebt?
The Ara tenor definitely sat on the song too long. Less is better, more is worse. But Julia Doyle she is magnificent. That lady amazes me with her heavenly voice.
Outstanding piece and rendition. Maybe I would open full speed like Lutz but from the second bar, using the first bar as an acceleration
Schitterend

how would you interpret it?
