Bach - Cantata Ich habe genung BWV 82 - Mortensen | Netherlands Bach Society

The way that mortality was viewed in the eighteenth century is expressed wonderfully in 'Ich habe genung', performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach. Death was seen as a deliverance from the earthly vale of tears, and as a chance to unite with your creator. So rather than being heart-rending, the music exudes a subdued melancholy.

Bravo! Wonderful interpretation! Special mention to the solo oboist who makes me feel the presence of my recently deceased wife, Lise Beauchamp, one of the great oboists in Canada whose expressive playing still resonates in my soul. Thank you for your touching performance! Merci pour votre performance si touchante! Et merci à J. S. Bach...

To me, Bach is the most sublime representation of the human soul there is. I love his music with all my ❤️ Beautiful rendition of this cantata. Kudos to the singer, conductor and all the musicians.

Thanks, Bach, for getting me calm in this awful moment that I live in my life.

Diese Kantate begleitet mein Leben seit Jahrzehnten, aber diese Aufführung stellt alles bisher Gehörte in den Schatten. Es ist mit Worten nicht zu beschreiben, wie sehr mich Virtuosität und Musikalität beeindrucken. Ich bleibe vor Begeisterung sprachlos zurück...

[drpangloss]

All of the humanity is reflected in Bach’s music....and well beyond

[enriquesalvador]

It's absolutely beautiful: Bach is much more than music.

[marksurgeon]

It's beautiful.. 30 seconds in and there are tears in my eyes.

Unsagbar schön - diese Kantate BWV 82 und diese Aufführung, ich bin zutiefst ergriffen.
Seit bald 50 Jahren ist dies meine Lieblings-Kantate, ich bin jetzt 64 Jahre alt - für mich gibt es nichts Grösseres als die Musik von Bach.
Ich danke dem NBS-Ensemble von ganzem Herzen für diese einzigartige, wunderbar tiefe Aufführung - es ist für mich die schönste, ausdrucksvollste Interpretation dieser Kantate, die ich je gehört. DANKE !!! ❤️

C'est tellement beau avec ces cordes en boyaux naturels qui apportent chaleur et soyeux. Et le plaisir de retrouver d'œuvre en œuvre les musiciens qui nous deviennent "familiers". Merci à NBS pour ces performances et le bonheur apporté.

Light creeps in through the tiniest cracks of the wounded In this instance, it is J.S.Bach. Bach IS Light

[marielafleur]

Bach is far more then music! He is music itself hand in hand with God!

[justified_parker]

What a great gift to see and hear on a Tuesday morning (in America)!

This is really Bach saying, "I've had enough of writing a cantata every damned week!"

The music is beautiful. The conductor puts on an act though, that I could do without.

[ivangarciabajobasssinger]

I am deeply moved by this interpretation. I love "the father of all, Mr. J S Bach". My favorite cantatas are 56 and 82. The baritone Thomas Bauer is wonderful, my eyes filled with tears. Thanks to NBS and all the participants.

[Soordhin]

One of my absolute favorites. I believe by now i have around 20 different recordings of it, and the list is still growing. Nice interpretation on this one, and a huge "Thank You" to the NBS for publishing all their work on youtube, i do really appreciate it.

[scottieles]

Anything or anyone that can produce a Bach makes me rethink being an agnostic. Nothing even begins to reach his brilliance and depth. Thank God for Bach.
