Bach - Cantata Aus der Tiefen rufe ich... BWV 131 - Van Veldhoven | Netherlands Bach Society

0:07 Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu dir (Chor) 4:57 So du willst, Herr (Arioso) 9:24 Ich harre den Herrn (Chor) 13:27 Meine Seele wartet auf den Herrn (Arie) 19:05 Israel hoffe auf den Herrn (Chor)

Berührend, zu Tränen rührend! Weitab von den Unbilden des Lebens im Jahre 2023. Und doch weit hereinreichend. So lange es diese Musik gibt, können wir den Widrgkeiten dieser Zeit widerstehen - dem alten Drachen trotzen. Wie Tröstlich. Ich wünsche, dass sich viele Menschen unserer Zeit, die verzweifeln mögen, davon trösten und aufrichten lassen.

Die Kantate "begleitet" mich die Tage. Ich denke an die Situation in der Welt, die Hybris der Menschen, die fehlende Demut, den Egoismus, ... und wünschte, man möge sich auf das besinnen, was Bach hier schrieb ...

There are times when Bach's blend of instruments and voices just takes the breath away.

Bach ist immer in meinem Leben Trost und Freude,solange ich lebe,im Himmel wird Bachs Musik vertreten sein und Er auch!

One of the many things I love about the Netherlands Bach Society's concerts is being able to feast on the architectural features of the various churches in which the performances take place, which is only fitting for Bach's music.

I always come to this cantata whenever I feel at my lowest. This is Good giving us a glimpse of his beauty and love through the music of Bach. I thank God for his existence and the many hours this music has come like a prayer whenever I feel bad.

That tenor is awesome!! So lyrical and precise with a wide range.

I have listened to this over and over, and the more I listen the more I like it. I am totally impressed by the presentation of the ensemble's superb singing and accompaniment. I especially like the 2nd movement, in which Mr. Berndt conveys the deepest penitence without being overly sentimental.

I once had the honor and pleasure of singing this tenor part ( Meine Seele Wartet Auf Den Herrn) in a concert given in Connecticut. It is a work of such profound grace, mystery, and speaks to me of feelings that only Bach would understand.

Unbearable sadness. Bach's ability to incorporate intense emotion was there from the beginning of his career.

A fantastic performance. The precision, the clarity, the expression, the ensemble. Just wonderful! Your videos are a source of constant joy to me. Thank you.

I'm sitting here, trying to work, editing photographs for a commission, listening to this, and I don't mind admitting I'm in bits, as they say!  Knowing that my father, Stephen Wilkinson MBE b. 1919, is in the very last days of his life, 150 miles away, at home. At the age of 101 he's had a long, family life, and worked as a musician, choral conductor, composer, with a particular love for Bach and Byrd. He was even working until quite recently, as well as still trying figure out 3-part Inventions! Thankfully, this sudden turn in his health is not C19 related; although C19 has preculded visits, he is comfortable and peaceful. This cantata, this performance, as indeed much of what NBS produces, is deeply moving, and at this particular moment in time has knocked me for a six, but in a personaly painful, but ultimately helpful, healing way! Thank you :)

For this incredible, and almost inconceivably profound piece of music to have been written by a lad just a couple months past the age of 22, really makes one wonder. Anyone who ever doubted that J.S. Bach was a true genius, and a very unique gift to humankind, needs to ponder this...several times over...and then some. There must have been at least a few folks in the audience then that were suddenly struck dumb with the sheer power, weight, and majesty of what they'd just heard, and experienced. An awe inspiring and auspicious event for sure. // This is another great NBS production and performance...I especially love the placement of the vocalists. NBS, never cease...ever.

omg, Meine Seele harret is at the perfect tempo and all the voices and the instrument meld together so seamlessly!

God bless all these beautiful humans with their great gift to me.

I have often rivisited the many Bach's cantatas performed by NBS and the deeper I go into them the more I appreciate these remarkable renditions from the technical and the emotional point of view. Thank you so much for taking the love of music so seriously and professionally.

I'm shocked how gentle that is from 10:00. I always imagine Bach as a healthy, strong, very positive man with firm believe, but he is also extremely sensitive.....a true magic.

Genau darum geht es, gerade, jetzt: Meine Seele harret auf den Herrn. Selig und dankbar für diese wundervolle Begleitung in diesen denkwürdigen Zeiten

The moment the Chorale is being sung through the aria i always have to cry, because devine perfection is being reached in composition, tho Oboe, the continuo, the lead singer all go their own way individually and create immense beauty, suddenly are melted together by the chorale melody...... and i melt
