"Jauchzet, frohlocket! auf, preiset die Tage,
Rühmet, was heute der Höchste getan!
Lasset das Zagen, verbannet die Klage,
Stimmet voll Jauchzen und Fröhlichkeit an! Dienet dem Höchsten mit herrlichen Chören, Laßt uns den Namen des Herrschers verehren!"

@thomaz89 I owe you an apology! With the advantage of being a native German speaker you hear the subtle differences I probably missed. I enjoy this performance, but I'm sure there are others very much worth hearing. I love this music and played it while at university. It sticks with one.

@MichaelTrumpetPlayer I'm not not referring to the text - I'm referring to the way the Tölzer Knabenchor sing.... they sound more grumpy in the beginning than joyful.
But, of course, I do understand the text - I am German. ;-)

@thomaz89 Do you understand the text? This is extremely joyful music by the greatest Baroque master.

@CharlieRutan They sound just right to me. This IS a period instrument performance. No need for those huge copper tymps from a modern orchestra here.

@gkollias14 It's called "lip synching" ;-P
Btw: Nice chest voice growling at 1:00 LOL - but rejoicing? Sounds pretty angry to me. ;-)

Rickeyleeba: first of all it is: Lipsinging or playback secondly you have no clue whats so ever about "classical" music if you believe they are lip singing.
1: they are true musicians for the sake of music
2: this performance is begore the 1980s
3: there are no speakers
4: Why would they learn the lyrics
5: this is a formal concert with a great, honest musician and conductor...
Think...

A really fine performance. Just a pity that the sound and the video image are not synchronous.
