Bach has always been praised for his contrapuntal skill and formal craft, but he is also one of the very greatest songwriters in the Western tradition. I don't think this is said nearly enough.

Bach is the greatest composer of all times. It is almost as if his music is not of this world

It is written: Psalm 92: 1 "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound."

it's good to see there is still human out there...

I only hear the transcendent love of God in this; love for all that is good, the love found within all of us. This should be heard, experienced, by all mankind - past, present, and future.

The first time I heard this aria was at my father's funeral, since then it has been played at the funerals of my mother and her brother, my uncle, and I hope it will be heard at my funeral too. And this is one of the most beautiful versions I've ever heard. With Bach's BWV 208 it is extremely difficult not to overdo it by making too much of a show. But in this performance it is beautifully controlled or as Bach would certainly have admitted: 'In der Beschränkung zeigt sich erst der Meister'. These words may have been written by Goethe, but Bach himself is an excellent example of how that principle works.

nothing get any better than this rendition

Congratulations madame, in these days of great uncertainty and after so many tribulations you have achieved the impossible; you’ve made a hardened New Yorker cry. *Thank you.* _bellisimo!_

Heavenly music, heavenly performed. ❤

Wonderful ornamentation in the voice. Everything from full trills to subtle vibrato to simple dynamic swells, and a gentle attack on the consonants. Really conveys the gentleness of this masterpiece.

For me, this is perfect vibrato from the singer - controlled, not too wide and used appropriately. Overall, a lovely performance. A new favourite!

So beautiful-Ellen's voice is so clear .

Ellen and all, sublime performance. How all the world needs to hear music such as this performed with such care, sensitivity, and fullness of heart. Many and sincere thanks.

How beautiful is Bach’s music! He wrote some of the most beautiful melodies ever written. Outstanding performance here! Thanks for posting! 🍀🦋🐝😝💐🪴💕🎈😀🥰🌹👍

The first time i heard of sheep may safely from bach its was on tape when i was 14yrs old in time its stop working and tape become opsolite cant afford to buy cd.but in years now i can listen to this beautiful melody thanks to youtube.bach always make me dreams.thanks to ellen and others musicians for this beautiful performance..greetings from mauritius..

This is the first Bach work I ever heard, at a young age, as a postlude as I was exiting the church as a choirboy. I remember it so vividly. It was played on a Casavant organ by Murray Rathbone, in St. Peter's Church, in Cobourg, Ontario. People who remark about all the grey hair in the audience forget about me, who followed Bach from my childhood.

Schafe können sicher weiden, wo ein guter Hirte wacht, Schafe können sicher weiden, Schafe können sicher weiden, wo ein guter Hirte wacht, wo ein guter Hirte wacht. Wo Regenten wohl regieren, kann man Ruh' und Frieden spüren, und was Lánder glücklich macht. Wo Regenten wohl regieren, kann man Ruh' und Frieden spüren, und was Länder glücklich macht.

Quanto ascolto questo canto BWV 208 ho una sensazione di pace e di tranquillità .

One of the loveliest renditions I've ever heard. Bellissima 🇮🇳🩷

What a beautiful voice! And such a warm and rich timbre and at the same time very clear. Really great! I never heard her. Also very well performed by the other musicians. I'm glad I ran into this.

Wonderful voice! Wonderful accompaniment!

Exquisitely sung here by Ellen McAteer and superbly accompanied by players of recorders, cello and organ. Loved it and thank you.

다른 친구들이 팝송을 즐겨 듣지만, 저 혼자서 이른바 '지루한' 음악을 즐겨 듣고 있습니다. 하지만 저는 이런 음악들의 깊이를 그 누구보다도 잘 알리라 자부합니다.

Ahh I live in Toronto and I love Bach, but I don't know there is a Bach festival 😢, cantata #208 is always, and has been my favorite, i love to listen, to play, to sing, it is remind me Psalm 23, it is so comforting, i just live this pics so much

Salomon Franck wrote the lyrics...gorgeous song well sung🎉❤

Lindo!🙏🏻❤️💐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷🖖🏻

Who is that wonderful sorprano who sings so effortlessly and adroitly

Very lovely. I would say that the version where it's there is no lyrics and its just instruments and its left to interpretation of the soul as to how your heart wishes to apply that music is preferable with me personally, but this really puts a name to a face with the music and is an interesting change. Thanks for sharing this!

I didn't know German could sound so nice, and I don't even know German :)

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩❤️

Good.

Won😢!

Schöner Stimmklang

Beautiful performance of a beautiful piece. I was hoping for some more adventurous embellishment on the da capo but this is still very tastefully done.

I could hear Yankee Doodle in there

Bon sang! Comment un protestant a t-il pu écrire ça ?

Bach=innatural, alien wonderful creature

Schafe können sicher weiden Wo ein guter Hirte wacht. Wo Regenten wohl regieren Kann man Ruh' und Friede spüren Und was Länder glücklich macht.

We need English subtitles.

Stunning performance 💯👌🏻

I've never heard this before. It is beautiful. Makes me sad that there's so much gorgeous Bach I just won't ever get around to listening to.
