Bach - Cantata Ich glaube, lieber Herr, hilf meinem Unglauben BWV 109 | Netherlands Bach Society
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- Ambiguity and doubt resound in the opening of Bach’s cantata 'Ich glaube, lieber Herr, hilf meinem Unglauben', performed here by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach. The same applies to the subsequent recitative by the tenor and particularly the aria, with its indecisive rhythms and uncertain harmonies. But then the alto gives heart to the doubter: God will stand by his side in the battle, so that faith will win in the end. And just where you expect a simple chorale at the end of the cantata, suddenly you hear a grand arrangement with rousing orchestral accompaniment. It is one of the oldest Lutheran hymns, with words that testify to an unshakeable faith in God.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on 28 May 2021 at the Walloon Church, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

I don't know about everyone else, but I always like what NBS releases 😀
Highest quality renditions. They have very good taste for interpreting Bach's music.
absolutely!
Exzellent. Ebenso die „Bachstiftung“ St. Gallen.
It is quite remarkable. Every release crawls right into my soul and stirs up the finest of sensations!

Imagine going to church on Sunday and being hit with this.
Church in Bach’s day was not for sissies!
And he wrote a new one every Sunday! They say there were a total of 300 cantatas. Half of them were lost. But we still can hear 150 of them. So beautiful!
@@Caroline1261 Bach did not compose a new cantata every Sunday. During his Leipzig period (1723-1750), Bach provided cantatas for 3 annual cycles, not a new cantata for every Sunday for 27 years. Some of his Leipzig cantatas are parodies of secular congratulatory cantatas. Some date from his Weimar period (1708-1717). Some date from before Weimar.
Between his administrative duties, private lessons and rehearsals, there would not have been time to compose a new cantata every Sunday. There were no copy machines. After he composed a draft copy of the score, he would then have to prepare a fair copy from which copyists could make copies for the performers. Then there would have to be rehearsals. It's highly unlikely that there would be enough time between one Sunday and the next to compose a draft of a new cantata, prepare a fair copy for the copyists, prepare performance copies, and rehearse that cantata in time for next Sunday -- on top of his administrative duties, teaching duties, and private lessons.
@@herrickinman9303 You are right. I had bad information, now that I read you I do understand that there is no way he could have written a new one every Sunday. Very sorry about that giving wrong information. But I do know that he composed 300 or them and we only have 200 left. Do you think that is true?
Prepped with the fumes of incense and then bonged with Bach's fugal virtuosity.
The trills in that oboe are a thing of beauty. The attention to detail really makes NBS performances stand out. Fantastic work.
I agree! I cannot imagine all the hard work that goes into making videos and performances like these.
Wenn es etwas gibt, das den Menschen besser machen kann, dann diese Musik.
Daniel Johannsen, tenor, is amazing! Wonderfully phrasing despite the chaotic jumps. Fabulous clarity and ease in this stratospheric tessitura. He could tackle all of the French haute contre repertoire with ease.
The own music by Bach is undoubted a masterpiece to the humanity, but, the video concept is also a masterpiece to the audiovisual art. Congratulations! It is a gift for the Bach listeners!
👌✨✨✨❤️♥️💗💓💝💖
Bach forever glorious
Wunderbare Musik, in Perfektion präsentiert. Danke.
Bach est mon vieux compagnon de route. Depuis toujours. Quelle belle musique digne du chœur des anges.
D'accord.
Ganz wunderbar! Mitreißend! Eine erschütternde Aufführung! Besonders ergreifend singt Daniel Johannsen! Vielen Dank!
Wunderbare Aufnahme
Thank you very much for the beautiful interpretation of Bach and the very high quality recording
Bach=💗
After 20 minutes of musical delight Bach's listeners were ready to end on a relaxing slow choral. Instead Bach hit them with this masterpiece of almost supernatural energy and virtuosity!
Chorale?
Nice comment 👍
Yes, indeed! You always should be ready for Bach's surprising turns.
Thankyou as always NBS ,just always such a brilliant interpretation of Bach's great works, please carry on the excellent work so much appreciated. .
Brillant performance, brillant instrumentalists, absolutely fantastic voices ! J. S. Bach would be proud of these passionate musicians !
was told not to move my body when playing... these musicians move around so much & i love it 🎵 😎
They move FOR the music.
Totally agree. Gives effective rhythmic energy to the piece...
Those seated don't move more than usual. Maybe the singers do. The standing violinist is also the conductor so I figured he's using his body as a baton while he's playing.
These are Baroque instruments tuned to Baroque pitch. There are no useless rules , just beautiful music as it shold be. 440HZ is a disgrace to music and the emotions it conveys. Standard tuning destroyed the essence of music. Tak a moment and listen with your hears only. Its real. Lets re tune back to the original arpeggios.
When I was studying cello, I saw a masterclass from Maria Kliegel and she explained and recommended the body to sway with the bow movements. However, I saw that it’s something only the very experienced can do (and will want to do), because the basic performance movements are second nature to them now. It doesn’t help much when you have to concentrate on correct bow and finger position.
magistrale vertolking! ontroerd door de schoonheid en harmonie. dank!
*BRAVO* and endless thanks to you all! This is a beautiful presentation of a beautiful cantata. I don't know what we'd all do without you, NBS! It's so great to see all the musicians enjoying performing together. I hope to do as you all do someday!
Beautiful performance executed with the fluid precision that Bach himself certainly intended. A nice balance of instruments and voice. Well done.
Wonderfully interpreted by entire group. JS Bach performed with intensity and rhythmic precision often absent in so many interpretations I have heard. Bravo!
Bach and NBS always deliver! Thank you for all of your work
Oh, Daniel! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
His voice and passion are wonderful.
He is amaaazing!!!
@@madmusenyc2677 Very much so!
Amazing music, amazing interpretation. Thank you, NBS!
Unglaublich ist diese Darstellung....
Brilliant, “better than ever” recording and mastering. Shining performance. Congrats..
Para mí, los jueves son los días de la música con éstos vídeos !
Always appreciate the peace that performances like these brings
Another gem. Thank you, NBS.
Sublime. Thank you.
The recording is top quality ! 😃🌹🙋
Stunning as ever. Bravi NBS!
What a masterpiece, thanks for your hardwork as always =)
Very beautiful🍃thank you NBS
There's only one place where is perfection in whole creation/life/Universe/nature, everywhere else you will see exceptions on its laws, and that is the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. What a miracle.
Very beautiful, bach like BACh!
언제 들어도
아름다운 바흐 음악 입니다 ❤️🧡💛
바흐의 음악을 좋아하는 한국인들이 많아서 진짜 기뻐요
This is a surprisingly fierce performance, don't know if it's the lockdown energy but it's pretty intense
Oh, very! All the energy is revealed in the tenor aria and the final chorus. I absolutely love it.
Bravo NBS!! And bravissimo Daniel Johannsen!! A million thanks for this video and all your work.
Wonderful!
Simplement magnifique, merci. ❤❤❤
Wunderbar.🥰
beautiful
Fine performance of a glorious cantata. Thanks once again.
Exzellente Ausführung. Sehr daramatisch, genial musizier! Bach ist vitale Musik, Bravo!

WHAT NICE MUSIC,, GOOD MUSIC, COMFORTABLE VIBES, EVERYTHING AS IT SHOULD BE.
Cantata Execelente! GOD bless NBS and all performers in the name of Jesus!😁😇😍
Stupendo!!!
GREAT
Extraordinary performance, as usual! Love the counter tenor's part. 👌
Do you spell _countertop_ "counter top"?
How wonderful to see you back after the lockdown looking & sounding as glorious as ever!
One of my favorite cantatas in one of the most touching renditions I've heard so far! Thank you!
Perfeita!!!!
Unglaublich schoen!
Deliciosos minutos de música que nos transporta al séptimo cielo. Muchas gracias por compartirla. ¡FELICITACIONES!💜💙💚💛❤🌝⚘
Bliss - thank you all
1:31 Finally found a rival to Jordi Savall's percussionist for the Best Hair in Early Music Award.
It should all be in spotify
Thanks for the "12" singers, not 14 or 16. The Cantata sounds amazing. 👏👍🤗 😍 ❤
Beautiful.
Beautiful ❤
You are always the greatest
Amazing!
Oh my this cantata is an instant winner for me
Wonderful performance!
First seconds: just wow!
I like the "blue" touch !
Harika. NBS her zaman çok iyidir... (Wonderful. NBS is always very good)
Top level constantly,
Thanks NBS, Maestro Sato and Maestro Velthoven unforgetable
素晴らしい演奏が、広告も無くて無料で聴けるなんて。
Daarbij: de prachtige mooie langharige dame in het strakke zwarte broekpakje: WOW !!! Een wAAr genOt!!
THE MALE SOPRANO RECITATIVE ARE EXTROARDINARY BY BOUNDS INSURMOUNTABLE. I DON´T KNOW THE MAGIC HERE BUT I CAN FEEL IT.
Alto, not soprano.
훌륭합니다.
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
It's really wonderful to watch these graet performences of this sublime music on UA-cam. I would love it if you would record the four Ascension Cantatas. I don't think they are on the listing yet.
The beginning motif of the aria 'Der Heiland kennet' strongly reminds me of the song 'Dir, dir Jehova' BWV 452
It does remind one of that :)
❤❤
I read a comment by one of today's musicians, who said " Compered to Bach, we all suck." True.
👏👏👏🌸
Thanks NBS🙏❤🇭🇺
Why is this cantata so unknown? Fantastic!
I'd rather have this gem remain little-known than over-played! It is so beautiful.
It's not unknown to me.
There are nearly two hundred sacred cantatas, and so by the nature of things most have been not known. It was only in the eighties that they were all recorded! Thanks to youtube everyone can listen to multiple versions of all of them - inconceivable back in the day.
I don’t understand why JS Bach was practically unknown during his life.

Undoubtedly NBS is determined to record all works of JSB. Or have they already accomplished that? Anyway all the footage of NBS performance must be in all time capsules whether on this plant or on spacecrafts in the outer space, as one of the most important archives of achievement by mankind.
👍👍👍💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍💐💐💐
love the Black man he looks the coolest,

Prachtige uitvoering en opname , zoals altijd ! Is er geen 4k(HDR) video opname van?
Misschien dat een kleine donatie kan helpen?
I often feel conflicted about Johannsen's performances - his opera background is so obvious, and sometimes leads to overly theatric interpretations, especially in this case.. But at the same time he is so incredibly musical, and Bach often composed in a very operatic style anyway. I think Bach would have enjoyed his performance. I definitely do, even though the amount of acting sometimes comes across as strange to me.
In Bach's time there was a debate among the Lutheran clergy over the appropriateness of operatic devices in church music. Those in favor prevailed. Most German church music composers in Bach's day were influenced by opera. A sophisticated listener would have recognized the operatic devices Bach used in his church music -- and I'm not just talking about da capo arias and recitatives. Bach attended the Dresden opera from time to time and knew many of the musicians and composers. In his day, Dresden was the German capital of Italian opera.
@herrick Inman what is your source saying he attended opera from time to time? Is that somekind of fact or very likely otherways? Just curious
Brilliant music and fantastically done. The closing chorale is too fast for my taste. I prefer Koopman’s recording there, but otherwise Bach at his very very best
ソーシャルディスタンスを保ちながら録音すると、こんなに聞きづらくなるとは…。
Alex Potter does a great job, but I would have loved to hear Bernadett Nagy singing the alto part.
So do I
quite strange his face movement at 11:58...
... and also the same man at 17:37, behind the one who sings !!!
but these musics are really beautiful !!!!
The NBS company is increasingly looking like old friends.
All dressed in blue!
Amazing music and recording. But where is the audience? This is in fact a video of a rehearsal. Random dresses, ugly overexposed light, a bag on a chair. Missing Jos
Sehr schöne Musik, aber viel Unruhe durch die häufigen Bildwechsel 👎
Man möchte auch mal einige Zeit einem/r Instrumentalisten/in zuschauen...
20:07--they don't teach you that in conducting class!

JSB died #otd in 1750 ⚰️
Viel zu unruhig. Der Dirigent und der Bildschnitt.
Nothing against Alex Potter as a person, but in general I really regret that female altos are almost never used anymore. I just never like male alto voices! Women can do it better!
I agree, unless Alex Potter was excellent.
Damn right
Chacon à son gout! It’s all about commitment and musicianship. That exists equally in men women and non-binaries. Alex brings it in spades!!
Many (most?) female alto voices are too thick and warbly. I never regret their absence.
