J.S. Bach: MAGNIFICAT [complete version] 

1. Magnificat 0:10 2. Et exsultavit 3:23 3. Quia respexit 5:52 4. Omnes generationes 8:39 5. Quia fecit 10:13 6. Et misericordia 12:16 7. Fecit potentiam 16:08 8. Deposuit potentes 18:10 9. Esuriendes implevit 20:37 10. Suscepit Israel 23:29 11. Sicut locutus 25:39 12. Gloria 27:07

I wake up disoriented, with all kinds of energy and no where to go with it. Then I listen to the lofty music and earthy subject of the Magnificat- ahhh- now i have a trajectory for a new day

MAGNIFICAT is pure beauty in vocal expression and musical composition. Enthralling rendition!

I’ve read many classic works of fiction and seen many great paintings. I’ve heard and performed Mozart and Beethoven and Wagner and other great composers. But in all my travels around The World of Great Art, I have a single conclusion: Bach is the greatest artist who has ever lived, and he even makes other geniuses look amateurish.

Had I been in that audience I'd have been saying (screaming) "BRAVI" at the end of the performance. Just wonderful, and congratulations to Matthias Beckert for a great production of this compact but excellent piece. As a veteran of 50+ years of choral singing, I congratulate you and your excellent chorus and soli.

L'une des plus belles versions du magnificat que l'on puisse entendre.Félicitations à tous Cordialement

This isn't the slickest Magnificat out there, but is so gloriously MUSICAL. There is something genuine and thoroughly engaged about this performance. At times the chorus seems to dancing with the rhythms. Definitely among the top performances that I have ever heard. As others have remarked, the bassist is a rock star.

C’est vraiment Bach le magnifique avec ce merveilleux Magnificat!

It just occurred to me this morning that I hadn't listened to Bach's Magnificat for a while. So I found your video; I listened and watched and was blessed. Thank you.

Thank you for this superb concert.. The world needs you today. The world needs Bach today. Great antidote to ugliness.

I always find Bach so compelling that I suspend disbelf.. Most liturgical music does this to me but Bach especially. His music seems to plumb the mystery of Christanity with such conviction that one is obliged to share his faith. And this choir has prompted one to share Bach's faith and theirs. That is the splendour of music. It transcends internaland external boundaries

My spirit is rejoicing in the Lord as I hear this glorious and stunningly gorgeous rendition of J.S. Bach's Magnificat.

We're singing this tomorrow night and I can't wait. It's a great, compact little work with a huge demand on the choir. I'm so pleased this choir remembered to put the joy into the work, given that it's in minor with a celebratory text. Very hard to pull off.

Yes, to re-experience the joy of singing this, just makes me weep. I was able to have this twice in my musical avocation & doing this was certainly one of the high points of my life.

I've practically memorized the entire composition. This is by far my favorite rendition. I return to it again and again. Bravo and thank - you so much for sharing this wonderful performance.

a very beautiful piece by a special composer. Bach and other artists changed the way I look at the world forever. Thank you, Bach.

All generations shall call me blessed , for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.

This sacred music is a real blessing to all who love Bach's works and who love the Lord!! Extremely beautiful in itsself! Blessings at Christmas!! Lynnae Larson

To my ears this music sounds like surges of pure joy. It's just wave after wave of spiritual pleasure.

Wonderful - simply wonderful. And the movement of the bassist illustrates, in an un-showy way, what a master of rhythm & syncopation Bach was. Before it was 'invented' by jazz.

Rien ne vaut l'orgue qui reste l'instrument le plus complet et qui résonne avec une telle intensité dans les cathédrales majestueuses !

Ah Those Trumpets are glorious -- The opening movement of Bach's Magnificat is stirring. I love every bit of Bach's Magnificat, but the Opening is my favorite

Always a joy and an inspiration! Thank you, J.S. Bach!

Bravo for this sublime interpretation of such a magnificence!

In most of Bach work there's a part of reverie,of dreams that tranport us to a sort of refuge where we can lie down in sweet somnolence. Let the rythims surround us and continously being bathed by this melody. On our way to a joyful encounter for we seem to be enveloped by something indescribable but with a smile on our face.Bach will always be remembered as a revered melodist.

I sang this back in high school, and even years after I find myself singing parts of it without thinking. Such a beautiful piece, and great performance!

Thanks for posting. I fell in love with this piece 50 years ago from an LP on the Nonesuch label, Karl Ristenpart conducting I believe.

No me canso de escuchar y orar con el Magnificat de Bach. Bendito Bach. Bendito Dios.

Quia respexit - 전곡을 그냥 지나치며 들었었는데 콘트라베이스와 오보에만 배경으로 소프라노 솔로 노래하는것을 보고 색다른 신선함이랄까 그런걸 느낍니다. 특히 저 콘트라베이스 음이 지속적으로 바쳐주는 모습이 인상적이네요. 신이 있든 없든, 기독교가 서양종교이건 말건 상관없이 바하가 경외감으로 작곡한 이곡을 우리가 이렇듯 전 지구에서 듣게 된것은 정말 좋은일입니다. 일하고 공부하고 돈벌어 먹고 살고 지내는게 다 가 아닌 우리 인류가 계속해서 이 작은 행성에서 행복하게 잘 살길 바랍니다.

The rather small instrumental formation allows a propoer balance between the instruments and the voices, soloists or chora. This "Magnificat" is a masterwork of rendition and recording !!!!!

Wonderful rendition, perfect acoustics, and excellently recorded! It has a subtle warm and joyful feeling all around. A treasure!

더블베이스를 가운데에 세운 덕분에 집중 감상했습니다. 평소에는 신경 안쓰던 악기를 최상으로 즐기게 한 배치^^ 깔끔하면서도 훌륭한 연주 감사~

just right for the coming Festive Season! Thank You - a beautiful rendition. Vielen Dank - so recht saisongemäss für die Advents- und Weihnachtszeit.

Ive been looking for this Bach masterpiece..last time ive heard this was 28 years ago!

Perhaps the best last chord I’ve heard on any recording! Perfect ritardando & love how the f# pops

Stunning,Beautiful, and well done Bravo Monteverdi Choir Bravisimo Signore Bach

I love how the bass player is just rocking out feeling the music ❤

Great performance!! The film should show the oboe d'amore player. What a gorgeous sound!!!

Das ist eine überzeugende, schöne Aufführung, die ich noch mehrmals anhören werde.

Divino Bach, desde Leipzig con devoción absoluta por su música

Siempre Hermosa...ésta Composición Orquestal, y su buena interpretación.Sea Santificado Bach... dondequiera habite...y agradecidos con RU-vid por El Milagro de tener tan cerca tan valioso bien, a nuestro alcance...BENDICIONES!FELÍZ 2024... PARA TODOS Y TOD@S! ❤ ❤❤

The joys of technology are exemplified here. There were decades when this music was never performed, never heard. In this age, this piece is listened to by at least one person every day (that's probably a conservative estimate).

Held Jánosw : the world needs this Bach music in this difficult time

Wonderful production! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Bravo!

Our choir The Festival Singers of Leighton Buzzard Bedfordshire are singing this and the Rutter Magnificat at a concert this Saturday two totally different interpretations of the same piece

Superb! What a vibrant, expressive performance! More than makes up for a rare lapse in concentration like 11:50.

Heavenly music. Nothing to add. JS BACH is the greatest !

There is a charming artlessness to this performance; of course they are well-rehearsed and clearly everyone involved is talented, I don't mean to give them a backhanded compliment! I just mean that there is this irrepressible ENERGY in this performance, the feeling that everyone there is so delighted and honored to be there and getting to express this gorgeous music, and it overrides any technical complaint (and there are not many!) anyone could have. If they were to listen to this performance with an open heart, it wouldn't matter how much or how little musical experience the listener had - they would be swept away on the same wave of sincere musical joy regardless! I have rarely been so moved by a performance - bravissimo!!!

es una interpretación ....simplemente maravillosa

Truly lives up to its name. Magnificent.

Beautiful, my favourite version so far.

This is terrific! I like the crisp tempo and clean diction. In 2015, on a "footsteps of Jesus" tour we visited the stunning Catholic "Church of the Annunciation" in Nazareth. Someday perhaps Bach's Magnificat will be performed in that venue.

Beautiful! Thank you.

Pura alegria. Uma alegria contida, interior, sóbria esta que Bach teve o génio de oferecer à humanidade! Adradecimentos a Monteverdi Würzburg, pela partilha.

Who would vote this down?? Amazing performance! Sublime music!!

Thank you for let enjoy it, gracias por poder una de mis favoritas de Bach

What a superb performance; I was particularly impressed by the respect of the audience in allowing the music to end and have its reflective moment before the applause. I performed this (as a treble I think) at school some 50 years ago, and in a grand clear out of study books found my old score so had to find it and re-experience its joys. . . . The score stays in my study! Again, thank you.

Wonderful Choire especially Magnificate Bach song. "SOLI DEO GLORIA"👌🏻👍🏼

Excelente interpretación! Orquesta y coro con intensidad y tempos equilibrados. Gracias x compartir.

Double bass player having the time of his life :)

Superbe interprétation avec petite formation orchestrale ! Finesse et élégance des voix baroques !!

Para quienes somos profanos en música como yo, solo nos queda admirar la belleza, sentirla y agradecer a quienes la comparten con sus talentos o al comunicarla libremente. ¡Muchas gracias!

The trumpets are great. I love that little vocalistic trill.

I am here to listen to Magnificat, thanks to the recommendation of the Colombian pianist and teacher Teresa Gómez. Vine aquí a escuchar Magnificat, gracias a la recomendación de la pianista y maestra Colombiana Teresa Gómez.

The music from the gate of Paradise.

Bravíssimo! It's amazing how you can see perfectly who studied and who didn't. 😉

I love the soloist. She sings like she already got the job.

Demasiados comerciales, es increíble que con el fin de vender, interrumpan una joya. Disculpen 😌

Merci pour le partage

Tolle Auffuehrung, himmlische Klaenge!!!!! Bravooooo

Przepiekne.Szczesc Boze wszystkim wykonawcom.

The words of this are based on the Bible story in Luke 1: 46-55. English translation: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, and my spirit has exulted in God my savior because he has regarded the lowly state of his slavegirl; for look! from now on [they] will say that I am blessed to every generation. because he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. and his mercy [continues] from generation to generation for those who fear him. He has made known the power of his arm, scattered those who are arrogant in the thoughts of their heart. He has put down the mighty from their seats [of power] and raised up those who are lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has taken under his protection Israel his boy, and remembered his mercy in accordance with what he said to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever. Glory to the Father, glory to the Son glory also to the Holy Spirit! As it was in the beginning and [is] now and always and throughout ages of ages.

Grandiose. Merci beaucoup.

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; as he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. Lucas 1:46-55

Et misericordia - 보통 성당이나 학교에서 '마니피캇' 을 연주한다는것은 첫곡 하나만 상당기간 (일주일에 두번 최소한 한달) 연습하고 합창하는것을 뜻할겁니다. 그런데 이 곡 (대충) '그리고 우리에게 자비를 베푸소서' 이 뇌리에 남더군요. 마음이 혼동스럽고 삶이 괴로울때 이곡을 듣고 싶어집니다. 제발 전쟁이 빨리 끝나고 세상이 평안했으면 하는 바램입니다.

magnifique, ah!

I wouldn't call this performance "sloppy" by any means, but it sounds like it's always just about to run off the rails. It's a very exciting performance and must now be among my top four favorites.

Maravilhoso!!! Wundebar! :-)

La humildad siempre va por delante. Todo es gracias Diós.

A beautiful concert - it would be great to know the names of the other soloists.
