Wunderschöne und lebhafte Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Kirchenkantate mit gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors und herrlichen Stimmen vierer genialen Solisten sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Originalinstrumente. Der intelligente und ebenso geniale Cembalist/Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Barockorchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Die Resonanz ist auch ideal. Bach ist ewig unsterblich!

Perfection really exists... Glory to Bach in the Highest. :)

The whole world should be grateful for these truly excellent performances of some of the greatest music ever written. I have done my part, living far away in the West of the USA, to support the wonderful work of Rudolf Lutz and the Bach-Stiftung.

...........oh, wie sehr sich bach in mein achzigjähriges herz und hirn geätzt hat!

Magnifique interprétation, comme toujours avec die Bachstiftung, merci beaucoup !

Just sublime. Nothing else to say.

Was für eine tolle Interpretation dieser großartigen Kantate!

Bravo, what a performance, merci du Canada.

Bravi ! Bravissimi !! Yet another glorious performance of these amazing soloists, orchestra and choir(!). Thank you Herr Lutz. You ALL are - as always - both meticulously PRECISE musically, as well as remarkably ENGAGED emotionally. This performance is yet again sooo full of POWER, utter 'SCHWUNG' and heartfelt LOVE for the notes and the words ... it moved me to happy tears. I honestly don't know how you do it though; maintaining this highest of standards in performance (and absolutely marvellous recording quality!!) on a business model that allows thousands of KZfaq viewers to enjoy these exquisite concerts ... FOR FREE! I can only thank you for this, and for restoring my faith in humanity. Also ... I'm in love with the beautiful Alto. But that's a whole other matter of course ...

As usual, I am left speechless by this excellence. Thank you so very much.

SUPERB! what glorious joyous music in the most impeccable performance- THANK YOU

It is always a pleasure to watch the young people grow with this group. The young bass on the end obviously loved every performance over the years.

Ik heb grote bewondering voor de uitvoeringen van de Bachcantates door Rudolf Lutz. Vooral nu we niet naar het Bachfest in Leipzig kunnen. Naast de uitvoeringen van Koopman, Suzuki, Gardiner en Rademann staan in volle glorie de uitvoeringen van Lutz. Dank daarvoor. Gert Slings, Lelystad, Nederland.

The recicitavo Alto He brings me to or reminds me of sounds emanating from the confines of a monastic order. It comes from within and it's beautiful.

I love the Bach Stiftung’s impeccable and passionate performances! 🙏

The best performance.Perfection-

¡Muchas gracias por esta cantata navideña! Es detalle muy navideño, me gusta mucho la fuerza de las trompetas, muy potentes. Ese instrumento en las obras de Bach tienen un sonido especial. Feliz Navidad JSBachStiftung!! Saludos desde Lima

Wonderful !

Merci vielmal mitenand 💙

Magnificent.

My fave - the one that 'converted' me to Bach cantatas. The year was 2001, the place Blackwells Music in The Broad ... my interest piqued by a review in the Sunday Times, showing a quite unusual CD, the design very 'modern', mostly black & violet, with olive green and maroon - utterly devoid of the usual 'Baroque' imagery - wigs , palaces, antiquated instruments, and so forth - but, more to the point, artists totally unknown to me - Japanese, for goodness sake! To Oxford then did I wend (rather in haste) and there well met by the most erudite of assistants who revealed a whole rack of the CDs, brand new and safely in their cling-film. With such a cornucopia I had perforce to seek guidance - he proffered issue No.7, said I would not be disappointed, and I purchased without hesitation - hurried home in my charabanc, rushed indoors, tore off the cling-film and inserted the priceless plastic into the Technics player. Next moment, the scales fell from my eyes ....

Exzellente Aufführung!!!Grüße nach St.Gallen!!

Absolut hervorragend aufgeführt! Vielen Dank!

Meu fim de semana realmente ficou mais leve...magnífico. linda interpretação.❤😁❤😁

Clever sound technician who edited out ever time the director hits the microphone stand...!

Very beautiful and very briljant! Thanks again for your ultimate perfection! This performance is like a miracle.

Capolavoro assoluto della musica.

Auch wunderbar inszenierte Bild- und Tonaufnahme von Gallus Media aus St.Gallen .

It belongs to the set of Weimar's Kantates .The Weimar's 63 Kantate has been proppsed by Bach during Christmas in Leipzig(1723-1725) alpng with Feria I Nativitatis Domini

Superlativi!!!!

Cantata BWV 63 "Christen, ätzet diesen tag"! Traducción al español - Cantata BWV 63 - "¡Cristianos, grabad este día"! Probablemente se ejecutó por primera vez en Weimar el 25 de diciembre de 1714. Está constatado que fue interpretada en la Thomaskirche de Leipzig el día de Navidad de 1723, el primer año de estancia de Bach en la ciudad, en los oficios de las 7:00h y 9:00h a.m. Texto: probablemente de Johann Michael Heineccius Solistas: SCTB. Coro: SCTB. Trompetas I-IV, timbales, oboes I-III, fagot, violines I/II, viola y continuo Texto original en alemán del título y Coro 1º (1 Coro [s,c,t,b]) ¡Christen, ätzet diesen Tag In Metall und Marmorsteine! Kommt und eilt mit mir zur Krippen Und erweist mit frohen Lippen Euren Dank und eure Pflicht; Denn der Strahl, so da einbricht, Zeigt sich euch zum Gnadenscheine. Traducción al español: 1 Coro [s,c,t,b] ¡Cristianos, grabad este día en metal y en mármol! Venid presurosos conmigo al pesebre, y mostrad con alegres labios vuestro agradecimiento y obediencia; pues el resplandor que de allí brota se os da como signo de gracia.

Que música linda. Bonito demais!!

love the duet at 17:20

I am transported

I LOVE and THANK YOU for so much beauty but would you perhaps consider not including the clapping? I have you (like many others) on my playlist and that sound .....my goshhh....

@1:50 judge everything by this! It's antiphonal and 3D❤

Absolutely splendid - but I'm not convinced by the 16' violone at the Weimar stage - especially in e.g. Nos 2 &3: I'd have preferred a bass violin type of instrument , perhaps with a G violone at 8'.

Skøn og velspillet musik og flot solo og korsang….

Очень хорошо всё звучит! Однако, раз уж все 3 гобоисты- женщины, то пусть женщины и мужские партии в хоре поют. Чтобы окончательно освободиться от мужчин.

Es realmente desagradable y hasta ridículo ver y oír a un hombre hacer la voz de contralto
