  • How come the camera shows almost exclusivey the violins and male choir members when clearly, the oboe and the soprano singers have the more prominent and leading parts?

  • Thanks for posting LOVE THE TEMPO, too many people misread the music and play it way to slow! It's about joy NOT sorrow!

  • Jesus bleibet meine Freude,

    Meines Herzens Trost und Saft,

    Jesus wehret allem Leide,

    Er ist meines Lebens Kraft,

    Meiner Augen Lust und Sonne,

    Meiner Seele Schatz und Wonne;

    Darum lass ich Jesum nicht

    Aus dem Herzen und Gesicht.

  • Sollte ich einmal in den Himmel kommen, dann weiß ich, dass dort dieses Stück als Begrüßungsmelodie auf mich wartet! Das kann gar nicht anders sein...

  • Lady Gaga und Konsorten haben millionen von klicks und dieses Meisterwerk gerade einmal 700 tausend.. Traurig

  • check out Jesus bleibet meine Freude-accordion orchestra and mixed choir

  • Evangelion brought me here

  • Johann Sebastian Bach: The greatest composer of all time

  • Wenn alle untreu werden, So bleib' ich dir doch treu; Daß Dankbarkeit auf Erden Nicht ausgestorben sei. Für mich umfing dich Leiden, Vergingst für mich in Schmerz; Drum geb' ich dir mit Freuden Auf ewig dieses Herz. Oft muß ich bitter weinen, daß du gestorben bist,  Und mancher von den Deinen Dich lebenslang vergißt. Von Liebe nur durchdrungen Hast du so viel getan, Und doch bist du verklungen, Und keiner denkt daran.

    Novalis

  • USAVICH

  • With Harnoncourt even period sounds good.

  • Jesus is my friend

  • USAVICH.

  • Muito lindo, eu gostei demais...

  • Tolle Interpretation von einem großartigen Bachwerk.

    Der Text bewirkt bei mir genau das, was er soll. Er gibt mir Lebenskraft und Gottvertrauen. Das Lied beinhaltet viele verschiedene Emotionen.

    Ganz nebenbei: Theodor zu Guttenberg 0:54 scheint jetzt ein braver Chorknabe geworden zu sein, nachdem sein Dr.-Titel aberkannt wurde.

  • Mr Bean 0:53!

  • @Mankey52 The guy with the big hair?

  • Viva Jesus Cristo!

    Nosso maior amigo. Nossa maior alegria.

  • Perfect! The best version that I've ever heard!

  • Although I agree that without hard work Bach would never be who we know he was, I don't believe somebody without a gift would be able to be like him. This recording is very good. Although sometimes Mr. Harnoncourt sounds a little bit extravagant for my taste, I am agreat fan of his work, either with period or with modern orchestras. Moreover, his and Leonhardt's recording of the cantatas are the most listened to in my collection, despite some of them may be better with other conductors.

  • playing this for my piano exam :)

  • why so solemn?

  • 20 Justin biever fans was here

  • @000how Don't care dude ! Beautiful interpretation by the way !

  • Desde luego, yo no sé si Bach es el mejor o hay algún compositor a su nivel o más allá. Lo que si sé es que he escuchado a Mozart, a Beethowen, a Shubert, a Vivaldi, a Händel, a Vagner, a Falla, a Strauss, a Chopin, a Brams, a Tchaikowsky, a Malher, a Liszt, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. y siempre, siempre, SIEMPRE vuelvo al "maestro" J.S. Bach. Sólo con él comparto la cabeza y el corazón.

  • Why people finance war instead this I will never know...

  • Bach is my prophet, my love, my saviour. I shall not leave him from my heart and face. My heart's comfort and essence. Bach resists all suffering I shall not leave him from my heart and face.

  • BEATIFUL conducting! You only need to see two seconds of Nikolaus and the only word going through your head is: "PERFECT!"

  • Wonderful, amazing, just the right tempo, I think, with just a little of the dance in it, to convey the pleasure and joy of the lyrics. Thanks for uploading

  • My favorite Bach piece of music. Played a bit too fast in this version though

  • Excellent.

  • Heh..

    As usually, Mr&Mr Bach and Harnoncourt gave us a really piece of masterwork.

    The question is: Who helped them? Have you, googlers, any idea;-)?

  • @h0bel Danke herzlich für den Text, der wichtiger ist als die Musik, obwohl das für mich nicht heißt, dass die Musik nicht wichtig ist!

  • @1267541

    Es macht schon einen entscheidenden Unterschied ob eine Melodie für Gott geschrieben wird oder nicht.

    Denn Musik ist auch eine Sprache.

  • @angryfakid: warum solltest du recht haben..Gott und Jesus Christus existieren sehr wohl.Gelobt sei Gott..Gelobt sei Jesus Christus..

  • @simonna Amen Amen AMEN UND ER IST UNTER UNS!

  • Ihr begreift das nicht dass es keinen Gott gibt. Und ich habe direkte Beweiße die ihr nicht überwältigen könnt und zwar. Es gibt auf der Welt einfach zu viele Götter die von Menschen ausgedacht werden. Nehmen wir mal Buddhisten sie glauben an anderen Gott nicht an Jesus...Das heißt dass sie in der Hölle brennen müssen? Es gibt noch über 100 Religionsarten bedeutet das das die in die Hölle gehen müssen weil sie nicht an Jesus glauben egal wie gut die in ihren Leben waren. Also? Es gibt kein Gott.

  • @Angryfatkid007 So einen Gott wie die Menschen ihn sich ihn Vorstellen gibt es wirklich nicht,es wird Falsch ausgelegt.Die Schwierigkeit,mit der die Menschen fertig werden müssen,ist zu realisieren,dass Bewusstsein nicht individuell ist.Es ist allgegenwärtig.Es existiert überall.Mit anderen Worten:Es gibt keinen Ort, wo es nicht ist deshalb Universal.Die Menschen haben hier zuvor üblicherweise das Wort Gott benutzt, um dieses Universale Kreative Prinzip zu bezeichnen.

  • @Kugelblitzify Aber das Wort Gott vermittelt nicht die richtige Bedeutung.Die meisten Leute meinen, dass dieses Wort auf etwas auserhalb ihrer selbst verweist,während exakt das Gegenteil Tatsache ist.Es ist unser innigstes Leben.Ohne es wären wir tot.Wir würden aufhören zu existieren.Die Minute,da der Geist den Körper verlässt,sind wir wie nichts. DAHER IST GEIST WIRKLICH ALLES; WAS DA VON UNS IST.

  • @Angryfatkid007

    Was meinst du mit "wie gut die in ihrem Leben waren"?

    In den Himmel kommt man wenn man ein absolut sündenfreies Leben von Geburt an bis zum Tod führt, was allerdings für keinen Menschen möglich ist.

    Man muss das Opfer von Jesus annehmen und so werden einem die Sünden vergeben.

    Kein Mensch ist ohne Sünde auch die, welche sich anstrengen es nicht zu sein.

  • @Angryfatkid007 Ich kann mit deiner sogenannten Beweisführung nicht viel anfangen. Nur weil es eine große Anzahl an Religionen gibt, soll keine wahr sein? [Warnung: Es folgt ein nicht besonders guter Vergleich] Es gibt einige Theorien über das Aussterben der Dinosaurier, sollte also keine davon wahr und die Dinosaurier gar nicht ausgestorben sein?

  • Danke schön:)

  • This is the most beautiful version that I have heard of this piece. It never gets old!

  • En español:

    "Jesús es mi alegría / el consuelo, la dulzura de mi corazón

    Jesús me defiende de todo mal, / El es la fuerza de mi vida,

    la alegría y el sol de mis ojos, / el tesoro y las delicias de mi alma

    por eso no aparto a Jesús / de mi corazón y de mi vida"

  • BELLÍSIMOOOOOOOOOOOO, ESPECTACULARMENTE HERMOSO

  • His(Mr. Harnoncout) interpretation is so great! I have led a wave or playing the piano and conducting of piece, his way of playing a major impact on me.

  • The music was allowed to flow very naturally... it is the first time i am able to feel that it is a 3-in-a-bar 9/8

  • This conductor is AWESOME! He's more into it than the choir.

  • This is truly wonderful, I love this piece. But... am I the only one who thinks it goes a bit too quick? I'd have preferred it, like, 10 bpm's slower. I guess it's force of habit though - the version I normally hear is slower.

  • @jakobv8 this might be the result of this piece being played so often during wedding ceremonies, slowly and reverently, in defiance of the more lively effect suggested by Bach in his original scoring.

  • @jakobv8

    But it is phänomenal

  • @jakobv8 just a little slower, otherwise it comes out a cantilena (lullaby) :-)

  • Einfach grossartig. Balsam fuer die Seele. Danke, es auch auf diesem Wege möglich ist sich erbauen zu lassen.

  • majestuoso!... mis mejores recuerdos de infancia y navidad 

  • magnifique

  • Jesus is joy because he is love and freedom! Here is Bach sublimely expressing that love and freedom as he knew it in the depth of his soul.

  • unglaublich...

  • Bach escribía una cantata a la semana. COMO UNA PERSONA PUEDE HACER ESO Y HACER QUE CADA UNA SUENE GENIAL?

    Diese deutsche Musiker bleibet meine Freude.

  • Immer wieder ein musikalischer Genuß!

  • Johann Sebastian Bach was one of the best componists in the 17th and 18th century

  • @professor13100 LOL - Bach's music is MUSIC - the best music for any century b.B and a.B. - In 1000 Years maybe we must check this again :-)

  • In italiano:

    Gesù è la mia gioia

    la consolazione e la linfa del mio cuore,

    Gesù difende da tutti i dolori

    è la forza della mia vita,

    il desiderio e la luce dei miei occhi

    la ricchezza e la felicità della mia anima,

    per questo io non lascio che Gesù

    abbandoni il mio cuore e il mio volto.

  • It's very incredible! bach is my second favorite composer next to mozart!!!

  • Oh good; It has singing; I love it when it has singing.

  • GÄNSEHAUT! 

  • According to Bach, If we worked as hard as him we would we be able to reach this level of understanding.

  • En mi perfil en creencias religiosas he colocado éste enlace.

  • En mi perfil en creencias religiosas he colocado éste enlace.

  • Ich bin Atheist und höre sonst hauptsächlich Metal, aber Bach ist genial =)

  • When angels sing for God they sing Bach music

  • Bach von Gott inspiriert

  • @toyni2010 What does God have to do with it? It was all Bach's own, hard, work. He alone accomplished it, not God.

    Inspiration does not exist. It is a myth, propagated by people who are not artists themselves. There exists only hard work, dedication, good taste, being taught by good teachers, copying from old masters and congenial colleagues, and having an intelligent brain.

  • @Timrath Yes, true, and all of that makes a good artist. But to be an exceptional artist like Bach, you need a certain spark. Bach definitely got something that many of his contemporary composers lacked or else, they would be just as well-known as him. Hard work, dedication, good taste and good teachers are very important. But they don't give you that spark.

    (Talking as someone here who's writing. I know what I'm talking of. I've come across that spark.)

  • I assume this is Concentus Musicus Wien?

  • <DD tolle Musik

  • the music the best creation of the humanity

  • C'est tres magnifique!

  • Gracias a Iñaki Gabilondo por colocar esta bella coral en su programa de CNN.

    Entre tanta fiebre futbolera en los medios,se agradecen estas cuspides sonoras.

  • Esta pieza es el colmo de la belleza. Se siente uno insignificante y grande a la vez en un Universo al que esta música de Bacha le da sentido.

  • Comment removed

  • excellent job folks, i love this chorus

  • What felt musiciancians about their performing, I ask myself? Crying, wondering, desire?

  • BACH!

    Das Wunder schlechthin!

  • Magnifique interpretation !

    N.Harnoncourt procède avec d' une maestria hors pair .

  • Reminds me of my happiest days in goa/india in 1996 at age 21, riding a yamaha bike 100cc form margao to vasco da gama without helmet or two wheeler licence listening to this fine tune over walkman and thinking life could go on like this forever, not knowing that life later on would never be again as good as it was then, the freedom, the adrenaline in my veins, the exotic location, the strange scents and the absence of law enforcement by narrow-minded policemen of the west

  • @maxkonal

    I can feel the nostalgia in reading your comment and listening to the music. I also listened to this song while trekking through the fields Asia, of southern China to be exact....in a time not too far away, when the world seemed to make much more sense than it does now...where people's behaviour was different than today.......

    Brilliant Bach was!!!!!

  • @maxkonal How very strange! If you liked Indian policing, then you really need to emerge into the real world. Bach would think that you're an idiot, and he'd be right.

  • @maxkonal My Heavens! Exactly what a friend and I did in Goa, but in 1973, rented a couple of motor bikes and rode from Margao to Vasco de Gama, also without helmets. We lived in a grass hut where the fishermen stored their nets.

    You describe it so well and I know what you mean when you say (this) life could go on forever (like this). Yes. Well, our appreciation and love of Bach only increases and we have to wait for the World to catch up.

  • @maxkonal

    oh dear, could not write these words better than you.

  • @maxkonal

    My goodness! What are the chances that music such as this should evoke memories of Goa in you too? Awesome!!

    Except the time line in which I there was, in Utopian existence, precedes yours by some four decades! I don't remember Margao, but was born in Panjim (Panaji since the invasion in late 50's) and lived in Ponda.

    The Goa of my childhood was pristine and beautiful!

    The true reflection of a humanly conceived paradise!

    And you are right, life was never to be the same again!

  • @maxkonal

    This Nikolaus H. is fantastic. The Music from BACH he interpred it .Yes the freedom. BACH was a reality Christ. He believ in hi GOD:

  • @maxkonal I like your comment, I believe I can understan what you mean

    ;-)

  • @maxkonal

    : )

  • @maxkonal We have all been there. Before careers, families, bills and everyday life throws itself over You, life seemed simpler and in many ways happier. Don't get me wrong, I love my wife and daughters of course but I will forever look back at the days in my youth with a smile on my face.

  • @maxkonal what happened buddy?

    

  • One of my all time favorites !!!!

  • Ο Ιησούς είναι η χαρά μου, της καρδιάς μου παρηγοριά.

  • great!

    and solus deus gloria!

  • How nicely hi is conducting the orchestra!. Maestro!!

  • Very beautiful ! How nicely and strongly he is conducting the orchestra!

  • La vache, qu'est-ce que c'est beau !

  • @jeanfrancoisnouvel tout a fait.c'est la plus belle interpretation de BWV 147-7

  • x O muuuchas graaacias!!!

  • hmmschnur bin so einsam und gelangweilt will sanft gekrault werden hab auch bilder

  • This perpetuum mobile, this pearl necklace the Bach composed is so beautifully performed and directed here that one doesn't wish himself a beter version from this one.

    The beauty and temperance of this performace show the greatness of Harnoncourt as a director.

  • I wonder if this world ever will get a greater musical treasure than this masterpiece

  • Jesus please, forgive us our sins...Bach was a genius!!!

  • Trotz all dem Leid und gerade deswegen kann ich es immer wieder sagen, grade an Ostern!!

  • arnold schönberg chor

  • @cccccccckkkkkkkk

    gracias:)

  • great giovanni sebastiano !!!!

  • wie heißt der chor?

    what is the name of this cour?

    thxx

  • this music is so damn beautiful ! is it available on record ?

  • Of course it is... this is one of the most famous Bach's masterpieces.

  • @spurnthemuse Must someone who spurns the freemasonry be connected to the devil?

    Your comment is ashaming and degrading to Harnoncourt.

  • If he spurns freemasonry, then he is my man, I misstook, and I apologize! It is those, who have not spurned freemasonry, who have served the foe. Ref: the doctrines of M.P. Hall, and of Gen. Pike. Can you show, to me, any documentation, of his disdain of freemasonry? P.S. thanks, to you, for your answer.

  • No, I can not show you some documents of his disdain of freemasonry. There must be a missunderstanding. I thought that you accused him because freemasonry could not trapp him. I myself have many reasons to spurn the freemasonry and I would be glad too if he would do so too. If he is connected to the devil it would be good for his muse. I have made a contract with the devil and this helps me to condemn the whole freemasonry.

  • This is quite a peculiar conversation to have appeared on the comment board for one of Bach's most compelling and beautiful pieces.

  • Heute durfte ich diesen Satz anläßlich einer Taufe im Gottesdienst singen, was will ich mehr?

  • man..i m getting sad by hearing that song..reminds me in my dead gandpa

  • It is just beautiful music, so please do not fight, but just listen.........

  • Dizem que a cantar tambem se reza. mas com esta maravilhosa musica a oração torna-se mais forte, silvia, contralto vox maris.

  • thanks for the great performance!

  • when somebody arrives to the heaven this the Welcome music!

    Quando si arriva in paradiso questa è la musica di Benvenuto!

  • Inspiração divinal... espírito de Deus.

  • Thank you very much, My Master, for this wonderful, eternal and neverending Music. You are my light, mi God and my Leader. Before You, I only could hear the Music; after You, I just can hear the Perfection. In Bach we trust.

  • i think youre taking it a little too far

  • And I think you´re not able to understand my words. Thank you

  • Beautiful! and great Nikolaus.

    Thanks for posting

  • amazing, my opinion, this is bachs absolute masteropiece

  • Johann Nicolaus Graf de la Fontaine und d'Harnoncourt-Unverzagt: Congratulations to your 80th birthday! You gave music back the place it deserves. Millions of people owe you a lot and without the spirit of poeple like you much of classical music would be sold out to the kitsch industry before it dies. Without your conducting and writing and without the musicians, who followed you I would not have been able to hear the greatness and magnificence of half of the music I now love.

  • Tanto per cambiare Bach che scrive una delle cose più belle della storia della musica... ormai non ci si stupisce nemmeno più... uno sente qualcosa di divino... poi ci pensa un'attimo... ah già è bach!

  • How can a human being write such incredibly beautiful music?

    Bach bleibet meine Freude!

  • In that case you would be the world's greatest composer, which you are obviously not.

  • Para: SanctaPraeputia: No, madam.  I´m afraid you are not able to understand my sentence: "Thank you for hearing the Greatest in the world" means "Thank you for hearing Mr Bach not me". I´m only a little human mortal in this horrible world... At least, Bach makes this world a little more clean, wonderful and light. Thank you for posting, thank you for listening.

  • knowledge of music theory and a bit of creativity and skill at the piano

  • Well, if that's all it takes, I wonder why no one today can write such divine music.

  • i'm sure someone out there still writes music like this - theyre just not famous. most modern composers have followed the style of minimalism, which, if you hear it, makes you wonder how anyone can call that music

  • This orphan has a point. Except about the minimalism. You know Bach wasn't known for composing in his time. People had to find that shit out afterwards. There may very well be another Bach among us, or a dead one yet (or never) to be discovered.

  • Comment removed

  • For SanctaPraeputia: Because Bach is not human but God. Thank you for hearing the Greatest in the world.

  • @SanctaPraeputia :) Cause a human like everything is a part of something larger, something that is the beauty itself, among other things :)

  • @SanctaPraeputia Some humans are inspired by God, we call them genius because they are able to listen to His voice. That is my opinion in front of such beauty.

  • @Cyberbob182 actually this his poppy shit. He dumbed it down for the church, he really wasn't all that religious but believe whatever makes you feel good.

  • @SanctaPraeputia because he was AWESOME! FUCK YEAH, JOHANN!

  • Bach für Fortgeschrittene

  • für mich eines der beiden schönsten Stücke die jemals komponiert wurden

  • Magnifique !!

  • Wonderful record, thank you for posting.

    Greetings Nicole

  • Jesús sigue siendo mi alegría

    consuelo y bálsamo de mi corazón,

    Jesús me defiende de toda pena,

    Él es la fuerza de mi vida,

    el gozo y el sol de mis ojos,

    el tesoro y la delicia de mi alma;

    por eso no quiero a Jesús

    fuera de mi corazón y mi vista.

  • If I had only time to return and listen for ever.

  • Einfach nur guuuuuut!

  • Es soll ja schon fröhlich und leicht wirken,

    aber das ist dann doch ein wenig zu schnell!

  • neee genau richtig, barock eben, und nicht romantisch

  • Ist heutzutage oft so!

  • Como es frio? Es tanta musica!

  • Fantastic, very well balanced in all manners

  • One of the best performances of this piece. The woman playing the violin at 1:03 is Alice Harnoncourt.

  • Jesus, alegria dos homens

    A sabedoria santa, o mais brilhante amor

    Desenhadas por Ele, nossas almas inspiradas

    emanam a Luz incriada

    A palavra de Deus em carne se fez

    com o fogo da vida cheia de amor

    Lutando ainda para conhecer a Verdade

  • Jésus que ma joie demeure

    A ton nom, à tout jamais

    Il guérit toutes les blessures

    Et ma force vient de sa grandeur

    Dans lespoir puis la lumière

    Il éclaire

    Mon cœur et mon âme

    Jour et nuit, il maccompagne

    Doux Jésus, Oh Doux Seigneur

  • Jesu, joy of man's desiring,

    Holy wisdom, love most bright.

    Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring ,

    Soar to uncreated light.

    Word of God, our flesh that fashioned

    With the fire of life impassioned,

    Striving still to Truth unknown,

    Soaring, dying 'round Thy throne.

  • Jesus, bleibet meine Freude,

    Meines Herzens Trost und Saft,

    Jesus wehret allem Leide,

    Er ist meines Lebens Kraft,

    Meiner Augen Lust und Sonne,

    Meiner Seele Schatz und Wonne,

    Darum la? ich Jesum nicht

    Aus dem Herzen und Gesicht.

  • @mpittet2

    Wunderschön <3

  • this is my favorite piece... so beautiful!

  • a very good piece!

  • Oh God why do they have to rush this?!?

  • Please, hear without beer!

  • It's not rushed, you're just used to the overly romanticized versions of it.

  • I agree! This version has a lovely flow to it, and it is performed beautifully!
