What a delightful performance!

Best sounding baroque timpani I’ve heard so far.

the trumpets sound so sweet. Beautiful.

Himmlisch schöne Kantate, herrliche Darstellung!!! Der Eingangschor und Schlusschoral gehören zum Besten was Bach geschrieben hat.!

Heavenly music. Glory to God

16 singers in the choir! How luxurious a sound!

Beautiful music of J.S. Bach, extremely well performed.

Sublime trumpeting from Robert Vanryne and Michael Harrison and team.

Ein Traum von Harmonie und Frieden...Bach Vielen lieben Dank für das Konzert

Not only the performance of all musicians of this project is, as we are used to hear again and again absolutely outstanding, but also the fantastic quality of the audio/ video recordings. At the end of the opening choral you can hear the reverberant sound of about 3-4 seconds of St.Martin and this is quite a difficult (whilst beautiful) athmosphere to record. I‘ve heardt hundreds of organ recordings, and afaik these are the most difficult to record. And a lot of them are not without problems. Not here, the first class conducting, singing, playing is absolutely met and on par by the technical supervisors. I can‘t but pull off my hat for all of you and say thank you so much.

Congratulations to all the performes, but the trumpets and the timpani just rocked!

To say the concentration of the organist is intense would be an understatement. Thrilling to watch! Never saw someone play play quite like him before.

The bass singer had his work cut out for him battling the timpani & trumpets! He valiantly held his own! Bravo

Was hat dieser Bach der Welt geschenkt...! Musik als Schöpfung! Wunderschöne Kantate, mit viel Empathie gespielt. Herzlichen Dank dafür ❤

The Netherlands Society is creating such a glorious expression of Bach that I imagine Bach in his lifetime might have hoped his work could sound so heavenly. This is concordant with my recent interest in the 18th Century, a time so rich in every human endeavor it seems to float above history for hundreds of years in either direction. That era gave us some of the greatest days of astronomy, biology, geology, engineering and chemistry, studies of government, trade, economy and political ferment, a deep appreciation of Classical Antiquity, monumental musical forms and tonal composition, germinal discoveries in medicine, physiology, anatomy, disease, sociology, and anthropology--and from some of the most astonishing persons who ever walked the Earth-including Newton, Hume, Euler, Handel, Linnaeus, Gauss, Leeuwenhoek, Couperin, Bernoulli, Dalton, Haydn, Laplace, Priestly, Lavoisier, Mozart, Lagrande, Diderot, Goethe, Leibniz, Galvani, Wollstonecraft, Schiller, De Gouge, Condorcet, Wordsworth, Goya, Kant, Constable, Volta, Franklin, Ingres, Lafayette, and Humboldt. Today the Enlightenment is a popular academic target for easy derision, but such derogation is shallow and cynical. A century of human aspiration against inhumanity and violence deserves both deep and broad reconsideration.

It is a grey, damp day here in S.Wales but this glorious performance from singers and instruments has said my spirits to the highest heavens...thankyou all so very much...keep singing and playing ! Bravo .

Always the heavenly sound, Bach!

The greatest of all! God bless you, Master Bach!

what magnificent work the netherlands bach society is making

Außergewöhnliche Darbietung. Danke für den schönen Abend 🌹🎹

I love the opening because the chorale melody is exceptionally beautiful, giving Bach the opportunity to spin an exceptionally magnificent fantasia around it.

Bach = La Musica Sublime ed Eccelsa dell'Altissimo!

So utterly beautiful. What's not to like about this?? Thank you so, so much.

These performances are beyond spectacular!!!

Increiblemente bach hacia una obra asi a la semana ...un compositor actual no lo hace ni en un año...

At 48 seconds in, a beautiful young lady had the same look on her face that I did listening to that opening fanfare. Love you guys.

A simply superb performance by everyone here involved, what more can said - thanks 🙏

Phantastisches Trompeten- und Paukenensemble! Van Veldhoven trifft die "richtigen" Tempi.

The superb performances controlled by such charming and effective conducting.

This is wonderful! Such a great recording, not that I’m surprised coming from NBS.

A majestic presentation for Michaelmas. Oh, and the tenor Aria with flute and cello pizzicato... How did Bach get the idea? So blissful!

Bach Magnifico Divino . Una musica che ti conquista potente e meravigliosa 🌌🌅🎶👑🎺🎺🎻🎹🥁❤❤❤💥💫✌🤗😎

Maravilhosa cantata 130 de Bach. Os sons dos trompetes chegam ao céu. Linda e perfeita. Amo essa cantata!

Such a delight!

Thrilling - a real delight of Bach treasures.

It is one of my favorite cantatas by Bach, the execution by the Netherlands Bach Society is impeccable. The chorale at the end is one of the 10 pieces of music I would save from the déluge: it drives you to heaven, literally.

Merveilleux, merci infiniment !

Beautiful 👏 👏 👏

Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieser kompakten doch perfekt komponierten Kantate mit gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors und herrlichen Stimmen vierer genialen Solisten sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Originalinstrumente. Der erfahrene und gelehrte Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Barockensemble im inspirierenden Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die Resonanz ist auch ideal. Alles ist wunderbar!

Mi piacciono tantissimo le vostre sinfonie

*_ALL, HONOR, PRAISE, PEACE, POWER, HOLY MIGHT, LOVE, BLESSING, GRACE AND GLORY TO OUR MOST PERFECT HOLY HIGH GOD JEHOVAH AND HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON YESHUA HA-MASHIACH, JN_**_3:16_**_-19 AMEN!_*

Just a marvelous performance. Such energy.

Great piece to put last on the program. Full of energy.

And all this on one of the great venues in the world: the Martinikerk at Groningen!

A really beautiful performance in every possible way! Thanks for posting.

Hunkigarria kantata hau. NBSren bertsioa sekulakoa. Eskerrik asko/Awesome Cantata. NBSren rendition is absolutely stunning. Thank you.

What a great music over centuries

Sublime music, thank you, J.S. Bach and the Netherlands Bach Society.

ANOTHER GREAT COUNTER TENOR, WHAT BEAUTIFUL VOICES ARE EVOKED FROM THE NORTH OF THE ALPS. IT MUST BE THE RICH GOAT CHEESE OR SOMETHING SWEET.

09:54 That is remarkably serene.

Qué maravillosa interpretación. No tengo palabras suficientes para agrsdecer

This is simply wonderful, thank you so much for sharing 😊

Absolutely divine!

thank you so much...........best from Ursa from Cape Town, RPA

Prachtige meeslepende uitvoering!

Beautiful cantata!

Amazing! I didn't know Johann Sebastian Bach lit a sweet & beautiful fire under Old 100. Wow 🙏🏼

J.S. Bach. Magno!!! Danke!!!

A very beautiful performance thank's NBS

Positively delighted to play this tune

Belíssima apresentação! Bravíssimo!

Fue hermoso escuchar esta obra saludos desde Tlacotalpan Veracruz México

Wonderful ❤️

Welch ein Glanz, welch eine Festmusik, gerade jetzt zu Pfingsten. Man fragt sich, wie fand er die Zeit, all das in der Vielfalt zu komponieren. Händel hatte ähnliches komponiert, Feuerwerksmusik und Wassermusik in London. Er hatte das andere wichtige Talent sich in der Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren! Und wurde ein Star und reich. Bach blieb seiner Zeit nahezu unbekannt. Wäre er wie Händel nach England ausgewandert, er wäre wohl der Superstar seiner Epoche geworden...

Exquisite, thanks!

Marvelous!!

Grazie di cuore. ❤️❤️❤️

I never was too impressed by Bach cantatas but this one with this outstanding performance overwhelmes me!!! I guess I have to start discovering Bach cantatas again and will do this with your performances... which ones can anyone recommend to me?

Excelente!

thank you

Sehr gut!

GREAT

Ypperlig ❤❤❤🌞👍🌷🍀

Phantastisch musiziert, himmlisch gesungen; der Alte Drache swingt wie sonst nur Jazz swingen kann!

Grazie!!!

Splendid. Great acoustics.

And every valley shall be exulted! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! 😁

.... Ist guuuuttt ❤❤❤

Je retiendrai « se brancher sur l Esprit Saint pour s imbiber de la Grâce « merci Monseigneur

Ypperlig ❤😂👍

In the age of J. S. Bach the Alt was Contratenor always?

Great performance, it sounds really great! Just out of curiosity, why are the videos uploaded so long after they were recorded?

I've only just realised that Bach "borrowed" part of the music for Herr Gott, dich loben chorale from the Genevan Psalter!

Красавчики!

Absolute the top! The reason: the composer made this music to Praise the Highest Lord. Only the best music is the best to Praise the Lord. Thanks for uploading this amazing cantata!

🙏Thank you ! The singer looks like Jesus

I can just imagine how horrible/interesting this might have sounded back then with trumpets without any intonation holes!

Are the vocalists meant to be a background for the musicians, or vice versa, in the first section? Are the musicians dominating them? A lively and enjoyable recording nonetheless. Tky v much.

👋👋👋👋👋💖💖💖💖👍👍Bravissimi.

Und bitten dich, wollst allezeit And we pray that you may be willing at all times Dieselben heißen sein bereit, to order them to be prepared Zu schützen deine kleine Herd, to protect this little flock of yours So hält dein göttlichs Wort in Wert so that it holds in reverence your divine word

My two-year-old is convinced that van Veldhoven is "ACTUALLY singing" in the Chorale at the end, while I think he is just mouthing along. It is a lively debate and he wants us to ask you. Is he singing?

beautiful cantata and lovely execution. I maybe would have preferred a more "booming" bass, especially considering the character of the aria. Here he gets a bit drowned by the rousing performance of the instruments and gives a slight feeling of insecurity, which goes against the text. It might just be a matter of sound balancing though.
