Honestly I wasn't expecting much when I clicked on this video, but I'm very impressed! Keep it up. Post more of the cantatas if you can :)

[Improvisata]

Bravo, the organ is playing as well ? The harpsichord player is sitting with his back to the conductor.Strange because he can't see the conductor in that case.

The women in the choir are standing at the backside. why not. Whatever.... it sounds wonderfull.

Thanks for posting.

Gar nicht zu viel Bewegung (wie beth089 meint), wenn der Leiter und die Sänger die Freude der Botschaft gewiß in den Herzen haben!!!

[drtmuir]

Wonderful.

[PilgernperRad]

Vorbildlich, da kommt Freude auf! (...der alt böse Feind 2:51)

Absolutely beautiful! What refreshing interpretation! This is what Bach and the congregation would have heard the cantata. Clear, concise and correct performance of the intention of Bach. You can hear the fight in the choir when they sing about man's fight with evil!

[MrStan1941]

Real enthusiasm for a magnificent piece of music, based on Psalm 46.

Bravo! (to Martin Luther as well as the great J.S. Bach)

Es increible el genio de JSBACH!!!. Es evidente que Haendel saco de esta obra de 1715 (Weimar) las ideas fundamentales para su famoso Aleluia de 1742.

@beth089 too much movement...its distracting....but I loved this performance.
