    Voces8 ist ein Weltklasseensemble. Die Sänger sind unglaublich, Gottseidank ohne Opernalüren, ohne Vibrato und trotzdem sinnlich.

      The soprano singing the solo beginning around 5.00 is using more vibrato than is customary for Voces8 but it's still not offensive.

    I’m zipping through UA-cam videos just to make sure I haven’t missed something good. I come across this video, and, noticing it’s by VOCES8, I play it to see what my ears will be treated to. Bach is the ultimate in music as far as I’m concerned, and to see the focus and passion by the musicians and each singer put a lump in my throat for the whole performance. For me it’s just as thrilling as drinking or taking drugs-your music lights a fire in me that I can’t express. I’m not a professional musician, and I miss experiencing music up close like this. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your videos!!

    From 1708 when Bach was just 23 years old. An astounding composition for that age and maturity. His early cantatas were very different than the later more formulaic ones (not a criticism of the mature cantatas) But his earlier cantatas have more variety and are less predictable from a musical and structural standpoint. Thanks for posting this fantastic performance of this miraculous work. More please!

    I am 44. In my youth the most fascinating thing was listening to pergolesi's stabat mater recording from the academy of ancient music. There was not much possibility to find them that i had an orginal tapecasette recording of it. I was lucky. I remember listening to it over and over. It was almost broken down. Now going through videos i came across the opening of this beautiful catata and it caught me in a moment. I realised it was the academy of ancient music again. This could not be a coincidence. Thank you all. You and beautiful voices of voces8. There are some people who bring such music on earth🌺.

    2) These specific eight voices really bring the cantata to its full potential. Bach would be proud.
    3) Voces8 should absolutely do more Bach cantatas.
    4) In honor of Marja Kamp's comment, Jonathan Beyers executed perfectly Bach's arrangement of the cello line of Pachelbel's Canon at 8:21.

    I wonder what JS (Bach) would have said if he could have heard this absolute auditory masterpiece performed with such perfection.
    I've had it on repeat for months now and cannot stop listening to it.
    It's a funny thing, this music that we love.
    When you get that Bach is not a "romantic" composer.
    When you snap that Bach needs to be kept on time (rhythm).
    When you realise there are cadences.
    The entire piece is filled to the brim with fuges and you got that so beautifully in time and tune!

    Full blast on my headset with noise cancelling, eyes closed...heavenly. The control in Andrea's voice, the high tones so steady, not a whisper of vibrato, ethereal. Really incredible technique.

    Simply stunning. Bach was a genius of harmony. The rising line at 6:22 that travels up through all the parts like a golden thread in a tapestry and the motif at 7:13 that is repeated up through as well are just lovely. Also, Blake's casual arm cross at 7:55 while ringing those notes out amuses me.

    What a wonderful psalm! One of my favourites. Yes, God is great! He is the best refuge in times of trouble.
    I think that we must return to Him, especially in this situation. He is able to give eternal life if we put our faith in his son - Jesus.
    Thank you so much for the performance and the text with translation! :-) This is good and valuable music.

    it is one thing to credit JS BACH a million-fold for bringing the notes to us but it is yet another feat to fully utilise the 'messages' -for want of a better word - that transposes it into our realm of listening, emotionally receiving and assimilating it and embracing every nuance of it. Voces8 did that for me like never before.

    What a performance, what a treat. BWV 150 is a hidden gem amongst Bach's cantatas; it lacks the melodic appeal of other cantatas but it has an overwhelming internal richness. Beautiful video registration, the intimate 'rehearsal-setting' is much more appealing than a 'dressed up' setting. What blows me away every time here is the valiant call of the tenor at "täglich harre ich dein", after the soprano and the alto (7:46) - blimey. And very well done that the other singers do not try to match this, staying in their own expression.

    "Man kann nach Bachs Musik süchtig werden, weil es ebenso viel um Erlösung geht, um die allerletzten Dinge - und dafür hat wohl jeder Mensch eine angeborene Schwäche. So ist Bach selbst über die Jahrhunderte zu einer Art Erlöser geworden. Er repräsentiert nicht mehr nur den Protestantismus und die Höhen der Kirchenmusik, seine Musik ist für manche die wahre Religion." (Christina Reitz, in DIE ZEIT 26 vom 13. Juni 2024)

    9:30 - The bassoonist smirks remembering the fact that Bach got into a street fight with a bassoon player after he called him "Zippel Fagottist" for botching that part. True story. Great.

    • @qoe34q
      @qoe34q 4 роки тому +12

      Actually, this cantata was written for Conrad Meckbach in Mühlhausen, which means that it was not performed in Arnstadt where the episode of the "Zippelfagottist" happened.

      Some translations suggest nannygoat or greenhorn bassonist, but it appears Zippel is and alternative for of Zipfel which leterally means 'corner' or 'peak', but is used colloquially as penis, cock, willy, etc., so Bach wasn't mincing his words if that is the case!

    The music of Johann Sebastian Bach ranks very very high in my personal preferences, nevertheless I have to admit that Cantata 150 "Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich" completely escaped me until recently, when I first came across this video. After watching it several times now I can only fall in line with previous comments that said, that this rendition does Bach's music credit in the most amiable way. Especially the start of part IV "Leite mich in deiner Wahrheit" at 06:22 sends shivers down my spine every time I listen to it. It is - for lack of a better word - perfect ❤

    • @lynda.grace.14

      Some years ago I stumbled onto a study that rated the music of Bach as the highest for music therapy and healing. Of all the works measured Glen Gould's rendition of the Goldberg Variations topped that list.
