Bach - Cantata ''Gott ist mein König'' BWV 71 - 2/2

[Seikilou]

Does someone know the name of the man who sings in the starting of this vid?

[lookingatcrap]

This cantata is virtually unknown in the US. A beautiful performance. The sheer size of the Marienkirche, Muehlhausen, and the building's echo, produce a sound I have never heard before from a cantata. It is wonderful music, and it prompts me to include Muehlhausen in a trip to Germany.

Thank you so much, most beautiful recording I've heard in years. All musicians wonderful, brass section gave me goosebumps all over my body and tears in my eyes, magnificent! Thanks God for Bach!!

This cantata was conducted by Bach himself in 1079 in Mülhausen, it was a succesfull performance.

@asmodevsluxuria

[asmodevsluxuria]

@Bulacanos Sorry, I wrote it wrong, it was in 1709

[qantasCapt]

Awesome!!! Just absolutely bloody awesome!! Listening to Bach, Telemann, Vivaldi and Handel makes it so hard for me to get back into the 21st Century's music. Food for the soul is the only way I can descibe this. Thankyou soooooo much for this vid!!

[Zoisite]

[gerubach72]

Just letting you know that when I was helping with the production of this video performance the recorders at time index 1:08 had to wait twenty minutes for the echo of the previous movement to subside and fade away. 20 MINUTES!! That church caused to many echo problems for us and the crew!

[tangram406]

Really

20 minutes! But the effort has had his good result... My compliments, great performance; sound & video making included.

[danielkirk1]

Thank you for pulling through and making a great production, I assure you I enjoyed it very much and you and your crew's effort is much appreciated.

@gerubach72 THHHHAAAANNNKKKKK YOu..YOu....You......you......­.phenomenal effort! I once plaid the organ at West Point with a choir right in front of me, and the echo was so intense that I had to watch my fingers and tune out the sound!

[Vitisaurio]

@gerubach72

The audio was recorded from there too?

Why the camera is moving from side to side during almost all the “film”.

Or at leas the first part is moving (I think that kind of movement is called Pan isn`t it?) and It’s getting me dizzy :P

[Seikilou]

@gerubach72 Woooow 20 minutes?? You know, this is so interesting thing :D

Gott ist mien Konig-nig-nig-nig-ig-ig-ig-g-g­.

[YevgeniyAlexey]

The chorus "Du wollest dem Feinde nicht geben" is one of the

great miracles in music history. Imo even Bach hardly reached the heights of the pictorial tonal language in this piece in his later works. Once more the listener remains in perplexed amazement about such orginative power and emotion.

[tritonusgesang]

Das ist beeindruckend schön!

[gerubach72]

Gott ist mein Konig-onig-onig--onig-nig-nig-­nig-ig-ig-g-g.

[tartinitrumpet]

argh, good performances, but the composite recording with the extreme echo is soooo annoying!!

[SopranoLutju]

Awesome!! Made me'crying'when I heard it for the first time and felt so peacefull. Thank u for posting this video.

[tkbewunderin79]

I cried too the first time I heared this cantata, with the Tölz boys choir and Harnoncourt (Teldec- complete sacred Cantatas), mainly with the boy sopran Wilhelm Wiedl and with the choir... I love it! It's one of the first Bach-Cantatas he have, but I think the first one is BWV 4, "Christ lag in Todesbanden".

[firebreathone]

That's a really stunning performance.
