Bach - Cantata Es erhub sich ein Streit BWV 19 - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society 

18th century.

Woke bullshit infecting every corner of life. One can no longer find refuge even in bach's music, one has to put up with the globalist"s masters poison because they PAY the NBS.

Oh, they censured my reply! Nice going!

Some explanation about the stage setting of this production: In a theatrical programme about money, power and pleasure, the Netherlands Bach Society brings to life the fashionable Leipzig of the early 18th century. The performance begins with Bach's ‘Erwählte Pleißen-Stadt’; we extend this song of praise to the city of Leipzig to our present time. Imagine a company, CEOs talking about the success of their companies, standing behind their lecterns like you have at a press conference. But then, in Bach's expressive cantata ‘Es erhub sich ein Streit’ BWV 19, whistleblowers wonder: what about that success? What goes on behind the scenes cannot pass muster. Power, money, sex, the same old story. In the complex story of Telemann's opera ‘Der neumodische Liebhaber Damon, oder die Satyrn in Arcadien’, the satyr Damon tries to conquer a kingdom from which he has been exiled. Like a true contemporary seducer, he explores the boundaries of sexuality and bourgeois decency. The characters from Telemann's opera already enter the stage during BWV 19, the first complete Bach piece in the program. With some artifice here and there, a storyline emerges as if it had been conceived together by the two Baroque composers at the time. Director Caecilia Thunnissen: "In the end, this production is all about the longing for love. Some try to obtain love with wealth, others with macho behaviour. In the costuming, designed by Mahshad Safaei, we play with gender fluidity, the new sexual revolution is happening now, the discussion is hot. We give the contemporary seducer a stage, what does it look like? Someone who plays with decorating, sexuality and eroticism, and who feels free in it."

Woke. They live on money from leftist organisations.

welcome to Bach!

Love your comments. My entire life I am fan of both Bach and Prince

Bach can do that sometimes. Take the St. John Passion for instance.

mi estimado soy otro "jugador" de 40 que ama el techno como ningún otro género musical, y en la misma medida de amor, puedo saltar dias enteros con las cantatas y todo el legado de Bach. saludo grande desde argentina.

Only with eyes closed.

:)

"haben offenbar teilweise Streit"... wie überraschend bei dem Titel

Machen Sie es besser. Ich bin mir nicht sicher ob Sie diese Leistung bringen wie dieser Chor.

@@bnddavid Schwierig als Einzelperson ?

@@jensnitsche4994 ich sehe sie auch nicht in so einem Ensemble😂

@@bnddaviddefinitiv nicht!

So wunderschön gesungen. Unbeschreiblich. Vielen Dank.

you are one of the greatest voices interpreting Bach. it's a pity that you forgot the necessary composure. it's a great pain

And there was much pious tutting and harrumphing. Get over yourself you prude.

The attire itself isn't actually that sexual, in addition, the NBS chose to interpret the cantata in the context of the larger concert.

“Out of place” vis-a-vis the original liturgical purpose is a non-starter argument, unless you want to banish the women from the stage. This is performance in the 21st century. That said, I also do not favor whatever this semi-staging was; it made no sense to me, and it added nothing to the glorious music. So I looked away from time to time, which must have been when anything sexy happened, for I saw nothing of the sort. ?

I doubt all people who listen to Bach cantatas are religious.

The music is wonderful. I just don't need to watch the video. It's on in the background while I'm working.

Botpost?

He would’ve been fine with it. The Modern Victorians of 21st century RU-vid not so much. Get over yourself!

@@kraka2381 How about you stop talking about something you know nothing about dummas. Get over yourself lol...

Surely he’d have been swept away by hearing, at last, performances that attain to his imagined glory and perfection for them.

he's turning in his grave

@@kraka2381No he wouldn’t. Stop pretending you have some nuanced view of history. No, not every composer was gay or had some secret suppressed belief in modern social liberalism and third wave feminism.

It’s part of a staged performance, not a political statement….

Absolut! 👌

‘More gay’. Why would you use that phrase?

😁😂

His costume is meant to reference Archangel Michael

@@bach Interesting.

Eso anhela mi corazón Gracias

No resisti la tentación y doblé al tenor con mi cornetto(zink). Que hermoso todo. Gracias amigos de allá lejos .

Ich bin ein Liebhaber klassischer Musik. Ich habe vor kurzem angefangen, Bach zu genießen. Ich möchte Ihnen einige Fragen zu Bach stellen

@@Nickkelvin-v3e Ich mag die Musik von Bach sehr. Und ich höre oft seine Musik. Wir sind Freunde der niederländischen Bachgesellschaft und besuchen regelmäßig Konzerte. Aber .... leider ...... ich bin kein Bach-Experte, nur ein Genießer.

@@annemarie9602 Oh, schön. Händel hat mir mein ganzes Leben lang Freude bereitet. Haben Sie einen Lieblingskomponisten?

His costume was ment to be a reference to Archangel Michael

@@bach Ah. Thanks.

His costume was ment to be a reference to archangel Michael

​@@bachThe fact that this was part of a wider production means that the costumes probably weren't Sato's idea. Please bear in mind that Bach never trained as an opera composer like so many of his contemporaries (inc Telemann). He came up through the church tradition, even returning to the strictures of the church authorities at Leipzig after his luxury years at Cothen. The skits NBS did for Coffee Cantata, Quodlibet etc worked because those were secular, less formal works, unlike BWV 19, which is part of his sacred canon. Call me an old fuddyduddy but seeing an esteemed artist like Sato wearing a woman's ball gown and the other singers done up like wedding cakes whilst performing such serious music rather jars against nature's chime. Just saying.

​@@davidhancock8861 Truly stupid. Call me an old fuddyduddy as well, I'll be proud of it

Jaaaa und wir sind alle sooooo anständig und bieder. Den Mittelfinger darauf.

Thank you for the insight, Schlendrian. Now have a cup of coffee.

How ridiculous
