I am totally addicted to this performance. How many times have I watched it? Lots.

the trumpet player was MAGNIFICENT!!! Perfect, flawless performance on his part-

I am studying Psalm 138 and my Bible reminds me to listen to this Cantata. I am so glad I did. Magnificent and uplifting! Thanks be to all and glory be to God who inspired Bach to have created such perfect art of praise.

best execution i have ever heard of this cantata.

The precision, the musicality, the quality of the each instrument sound so clear and so gorgeous. There is time for everything in this interpretation. The culture of Johann Sebastian Bach embodied. Helmut Rilling at his best. Thank you, Maestro.

I have listened to all recordings of this Bach Cantata # 51 and the best to my sensitive ears and musical background tells me that this recording for the ecoustical, soprano voice, trumpet, chamber accompaniment, tempi etc. is the best I have ever heard here recorded or live in concert.

JS Bach is so beautiful

Excellente cantatrice et super trompettiste. On ne s'en lasse pas

Fantastique. Emouvant. superbe. merci.

Maestro Rilling shows again his endless sensitivity for Bach music and for Singer- attentive conducting !

Fantastic singing by our Dutch pride, soprano Lenneke Ruiten, who, at the moment, is appearing in Teatro alla Scala in Mozart's Lucio Silla...

What a performance to sustain such a tempo without failing or hesitation nor any "diva" effects. Congratulations, Mrs Ruiten, for this fine performance... and your superb (powerful and mastered) voice!

Again and again I listen to this performance and the pleasure remains intact and intense. To me the best rendition of this magnificent cantata

I love Ms Ruiten's beautiful lower register, middle E. I love everything!

Absolutely great. Frau Ruiten's lower registers are beautiful. All the musicians are excellent. Good video and sound.

How wonderful to listen to REAL music and to see intelligent commentary from those who clearly love Bach. KZfaq does have its uses after all.

Absolutely divine, what a wonderful work and so well put together, Lenneke you are a star! Javier you rock, Anka and Grigori, absolutely perfect. The Hallelujah is out of this world, absolutely divine. Un disco de oro para la Real Filaromonica de Galicia, excelente!!!!

I heard Lenneke Ruiten today at the Muscat Opera House where the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, conducted by Ton Koopman, performed Telemann's Donnersode. Her voice is a revelation of beauty, it has the softness of honey, perfection. Koopman himself is already top of the bill. With on top of this Lenneke and actually also the other singers and the orchestra, we had the privilege of attending an unforgettable performance.

Bravo à Javier Simo pour sa joie diffusée et affirmée, à Helmut Rilling pour sa direction, à Lenneke Ruiten pour la fluidité remaruable de sa voix!

Superbe interprétation. Bravo à tout l'ensemble et aux solistes.

Es la mejor interpretación que he podido encontrar de esta pieza.

Top notch. Never get tired of watching this.

Extraordinarily sensitive performance by everyone. It is lovely to see great teaching traditions being passed on to the next age. My congratulations to Helmuth Rilling for his contributions to music and a happier, more sensitive world.

I just happened to stumble on this video, and I am glad I did. I have always loved Rilling's interpretations of Bach. This performance is no exception. The soprano, Miss Lenneke Ruiten has transported me to heavenly realms with her lovely singing. My favorie aria from 51 is the haunting "Hochster!" Thank you Miss Ruiten! I would echo Irwin Wargon's comment on what a blessing it is to HEAR the beautiful continuo realization of the harpsichord in this performance! Goodbye wimpy organ! lol

Stunning.Sublime, and extraordinary

'I survived a Bach cantata' should be on Facebook. Mercifully short, intelligible, with multi-national players to bolster theme of piece. Rilling is superb and the continuo player stands out.

Que sala , auditorio mas maravilloso . Y la filharmonia de Galicia sin palabras ... Un saludo desde Chile , Sud america ... POSDATA: Las cantatas son un catalogo Tan amplio que es grato ver que en todos los lugares del mundo se le presta un gran trato a ese Canon tan Espectacularmente bueno de J.S. Bach . La soprano y el resto de la orquesta un placer escuchar ...

Wonderfully uplifting and inspiring! Love that trumpet! Bach, Bach, Bach forever!

No one like Bach!! I Love this cantata, and Lenneke Ruiten´s voice is so beautiful, so heavenly and powerful, also She´s pretty nice. I´d get married...

Bravissimi tutti ! in my opinion a perfect performance, clean, acutare, dynamic ! a great soprano - great coloraturas, perfect balance between full of expresion and othentic. Brava !!

Great trumpet playing. JSB would have loved it.

Jauchzet Gott!! Praise God in all Lands!

Ruiten should be counted among the world's top sopranos, a remarkably beautiful voice.

Still my favorite Cantata ever. And I even quite quite the trumpet! I mean its sound, but here is totally perfect: it and a soprano voice (the only right match, especially here) for a joyful and very rich musical texture with a wonderful dialogue between them and with the ensemble. And a quite amazing rendition. I generally prefer minor tones, but in this case I can't avoid kneel again to Mr. Bach and his astonishing genius.

wonderful!!! Hoechster mache deine Guete ferner alle Morgen neu!! amazing... thank you!!!

bravo maestro helmuth, bravo soprano, linda voz

Unforgettable performance. Bravisimmo!

Gorgeous! Fantastic trumpet player and beautiful soprano. Helmut Rilling great as ever. And in Santiago!

Je ne connaissait pas cette oeuvre de Bach. C'est tout simplement splendide! Et bravo pour l'interprétation!

a good ochestra, very good soprano en een exelent trumpet player!!

Woke up to this piece on my radio alarm, what a lovely way to re-enter such an ugly world. Thank you, KUSC and Alan Chapman.

con qué dinámica, vigor, fuerza y exactitud de movimientos se expresan Lenneke, Javier y Anka ! verdaderamente impactante, diría yo !

Maravilla esta obra y esta interpretación. *De las mejores interpretaciones del Aria 3 (6:52m), "Höchster, mache deine Güte" que se pueden escuchar. Bravo!

Bravo ! Cette interprétation est super magnifique...la voix d Ilona, le chef d orchestre le trompettiste les musiciens !! Extraordinaires .merci

This was positively delightful! Lenneke has a marvelous voice.

Fabulous in all ways! Congratulations!

The trumpet player is awsome, and what one guy percieved as a mistake was merely a trill near the high register of the instrument(piccolo trumpet) All the player and singer are wonderful, tight, and passionate. Still, my favorite is still Maurice Andre on the turnabout label from the mid-70s.

Was für eine exzellente Aufführung. Die Trompete, die Sängerin, fabelhaft. Kein Wunder wenn Rilling den Taktstock schwingt!

This is the complete work and this is the original scoring. The solo soprano sings the "choruses". It is one of several cantatas which Bach wrote for a soloist. The most famous is perhaps No.82 "Ich habe genug." for Baritone and orchestra.

Gott sei Dank!

Wunderbar !

Qué grande Helmuth Rilling!! Un capo.

Excellent performance !

Chute de música directo a la vena. La música perfecta existe y la prueba es Bach.

nice to see that in 20211 Bach will be still performed. Immortal music!

As I said the trumpeter interpreted his part differently, but he made no mistakes, that I heard. The true test of the trumpet is the very last movement with all of those clarino pitches, and he played them perfectly. He even got them to pianissimo (for a trumpet), which is really difficult. The trumpeter is amazingly talented and deserves every honor we can heap upon him for this amazing performance. The trumpet might as well have been singing Soprano, he was so clear and articulate note-wise.

Bravo!

just lovely to wake up to every morning!

Einfach nur wunderschön- perfekt!!

Genial interpretación..

Always a fascinating match: soprano vs trumpet. The trumpet has to be soft and sweet, whilst the soprano has to be strong, so the sounds mimic each other. A good test for both performers! By the way, Loreena McKennitt performs a similar duet vs a harp; I am still searching for that performance on KZfaq..

Yeah she's good and so are the ensemble. What a nice concert hall too!

Dat voice. Dat trumpet. Dat Bach. x

Love it, love it, love it

Wonderful!

What a stunning voice. Like the interpretation.

wish she would come to calif and sing--a fantastic and inspiring spirit and voice--I hope to hear much more from her!

just lovely...thanks. what joyful beginning....

Die beste, kompakte, dynamische und zugleich feinste Interpretation der Bachs Kantate 51. Die Trompete ist hier ausgezeichnet, aber vor allem die Sopranstimme! - "Liebe Lenneke, Gott hat Dir keine besondere Schönheit geschenkt, aber Deine Stimme ist in dieser Kantate schöner als aller Engeln zugleich! Ich liebe Dich" :)

EXELENTE!!!!!!!

¡¡Lindísima voz!! Gracias DKordubaylo

Спасибо за блестящее исполнение замечательной баховской музыки!

Bravi!

Brava!!!

Wow! That trumpet!

Amazing.

BRAVA!

tudo maravilhoso. lindíssimo.

Отличное исполнение! Одно из лучших.

love the sequence at 17:00. And performed so well here!

me too. Just love it!!!

천재에게서 나온 가벼움이 느껴지는 음악이다. 공기나 하늘이나 햇볕 같은 음악이다. 우리가 생각 조차 하지 않고 받아들이는 것. 아마도 이것이 완벽함의 극치 이리라. -리흐테르의 음악수첩에서-

Eine wunderschön vorgetragene Kantate. Sie wurde im Auditoruo de Galicia in Santiago de Compostela aufgenommen. Ich staune immer wieder darüber, wo Dr. Rilling überall auftritt und mit dem dortigen Orchester und Sänger und Sängerinnen auftritt. Ob sie wohl alle englisch sprechen konnten? Eher glaube ich, dass H. Rilling spanisch sprach. Einfach super. - Sehr schöner Sopran hier.

Bravo a la trompeta y al diretor...

Genial la interpretación.

so glad to hear this -i only had the score and only worked on the firt part, -what an amazing voice-way beyond what i could only imaging just trying to get through the phrases; but after over 4- years, my singing muscles were able to recall some bit by bit and wow, in 15: halleluia some of original theme!, thanks!

Semplicemente meraviglioso Gridate di gioia a Dio in ogni terra (traduzione testo in italiano) 1. ARIA (Soprano) Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen! Was der Himmel und die Welt An Geschöpfen in sich hält, Müssen dessen Ruhm erhöhen, Und wir wollen unserm Gott Gleichfalls itzt ein Opfer bringen, Dass er uns in Kreuz und Not Allezeit hat beigestanden. Gridate di gioia a Dio in ogni terra! Quante creature il cielo e il mondo possiedono, esaltano la sua gloria; e noi cantiamo al nostro Dio adesso un inno di lode, poiché egli ci ha sempre assistito nel dolore e nella necessità. 2. RECITATIVO (Soprano) Wir beten zu dem Tempel an, Da Gottes Ehre wohnet, Da dessen Treu, So täglich neu, Mit lauter Segen lohnet. Wir preisen, was er an uns hat getan. Muss gleich der schwache Mund von seinen Wundern lallen, So kann ein schlechtes Lob ihm dennoch Wohlgefallen. Noi adoriamo nel tempio dove dimora l'onore di Dio, dove la sua fedeltà, nuova ogni giorno, ricompensa con pura benedizione. Noi lodiamo Colui che ci ha creato. Anche se la debole bocca sa solo balbettare le sue meraviglie, tuttavia anche una lode maldestra a Lui è gradita. 3. ARIA (Soprano) Höchster, mache deine Gute Ferner alle Morgen neu. So soll vor die Vatertreu Auch ein dankbares Gemüte Durch ein frommes Leben weisen, Dass wir deine Kinder heissen. Altissimo, la tua bontà si rinnova ogni mattino. Di fronte alla paterna fedeltà anche un animo grato mostrerà con una vita devota che noi ci diciamo tuoi figli. 4. CORALE (Soprano) Sei Lob und Preis mit Ehren Gott Vater, Sohn, Hiligem Geist! Der woll in uns vermehren, Was er uns aus Gnaden verheisst, Dass wir ihm fest vertrauen, Gänzlich uns lass'n auf ihn, Von Herzen auf ihn bauen, Dass uns'r Herz, Mur und Sinn Ihm festiglich anhangen; Drauf singen wir zur Stund: Amen, wir werdn's erlangen, Glaub'n wir aus Herzensgrund. Sia gloria, lode e onore a Dio, Padre, Figlio e Spirito Santo Possa egli accrescere in noi ciò che per grazia ci ha promesso, così che abbiamo ferma fiducia in lui, ci abbandoniamo interamente a lui, di cuore edifichiamo su di lui, perché il nostro cuore, animo e sentimento sian fortemente legati a lui; perciò noi ora cantiamo: Amen, noi vinceremo, noi crediamo dal profondo del cuore. date di gioia a Dio in ogni terra (traduzione testo in italiano) 1.

sorry another comment-dress is so elegant and only adds to the quality of the whole

Love Simó's ascending decrescendo scale in the Aleluia!! Soprano absolutely first rate!

Muy buena versión!!! Bravi!!!

Ilona Timchenko, ¡ what an excellent and precise voice of Lenneke and what to say regarding Javier ! thank you Ilona, AMDG

Soprano ottimo, perfetto per Bach. Brava !!

God Be Praised!

Wonderful

Magnicent performance and sound despite a bit cloudy image. Beautiful!

Bravo,fantastic interpretation.Javier,you are GREAT!!!!

It seems I am in a mystical and solemn labyrinth to spread infinity Her voice Ís out of this world

This work is so atypical of Bach in so many way (one soloist throughout, style sounding almost like the Galant) I've often wondered wither this my in reality be the work of CPE Bach.

Excelente la Real Filarmonía de Galicia, BRAVISIMO ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Meravellós
