The eternal spirit of J. S. Bach smiles in spirit each time this performance is played, such absolute artistry and fidelity to the immense difficulty and awesome majesty of this music. Timeless.

I'm not a musician, nor do I know much about classical music, but I DO LOVE MUSIC. Bach Christmas Oratorio really vibrated throughout my body, soul, and spirit. Thanks!

Ich liebe es wie Gardiner Bach präsentiert. Da ist Tanzmusik, Freude, Rhythmus, man wird mitgerissen. Keine langatmige Kirchenmusik. Danke für die Aufnahme.

I have watched each Cantata on separate days since Christmas day this year. The evangelist has sung all of his recitatives and his arias from memory - truly amazing. All of these musicians are true artists - so cool! The music has been sublime.

Immaculate. I saw the two masters in Stuttgart in 1985: Sir John E. Gardiner and Mr. Helmut Rilling. They are absolute giants. This perfprmance made me tremble with faith and succumb to its grandeur and perfection.

I just can't stop smiling...what joyful music!

Gardiner conducting Bach, wonderful as always.

Magnificent! Trumpet 1 absolutely nailed his performance in the final chorus/chorale.

Don’t forget those two guys on the natural horn - pure class.

One of the great highlights of part 2 is the fast playing fugal quartet. 2 violins cello snd voice. Its a bring the house down piece

I assume you mean the tenor aria at 16:14 in Cantata 4. If so, I completely agree. Wonderful and exhilarating!

THEY ARE PERFECT. EITHER SINGING OR PLAYING. PURE PASSION... PURE BACH

Magnificent and marvellous performance! The whole ensemble, orchestra, chorus and soloists, are the people chosen for performing such like high classics, and they live in it. Special thanks to Sir John Eliot Gardiner for this masterpiece, and to the EuroArtsChannel for presenting it.

Always the intricacy of Bach's works amazes me. The Monteverdi Choir, conductor J. E. Gardiner and the orchestra present a harmonic and energetic performance, one of the finest examples of musicians and conductor playing together. Kudos to EuroArtsChannel! The Christma s Oratorio surpasses in intensity, the infinite of musical sensitivity, perfect and sublime recording!

Bernarda Fink maravillosa, como siempre...

His name is Niklas Eklund, heralded as one of the best baroque trumpeters in the world. Some even say he is the best, period. Overall though, this whole performance is terrific!

My very favorite Bach for Christmas! LOVE Claren McFadden, Bernarda Fink, Dietrich Henschel & Christoph Genz as soloists. John Eliot knows how to pick his people! Magnificent performance. Please keep this one going. Tired of seeing these videos taken down & "privatized". Miss the one that was uninterrupted & with closed caption lyrics in English on screen.

Wonderful performances - thank you to everyone.

Thank you AGAIN. One of my favorite parts of each year, watching this video shortly before Christmas. A beautiful gift you (and JSB) have given. See you in 2020.

Thank you for this performance. I watch it every year at Christmas time. It is truly a nourishing thing for me. Thank you for posting this. I like the bald guy on the trumpet. And the long-haired guy in the clarinet or whatever that instrument is. I like it all. Thanks!

Musica impareggiabile, interpretazione leggendaria, ogni Natale la riascolto con immutata commozione. Bach è un gradino sotto Dio Onnipotente, anzi è Dio fatto musicista!

Wonderful!!! My soul is filled with joy!!

ELES SÃO PERFEITOS. SEJA CANTANDO OU TOCANDO. PURA PAIXÃO... PURO BACH.

Every moment simply wonderful. Many, many thanks.

thank you so much euro arts, this is pure gold!

Wonderful!!!

Magically beautiful

Deliciosa versión del Oratorio de Navidad de Bach.

Stunning!!!

Perfect performing

The last melody (lieder or musical air) is repeated across some of Bach’s sacred songs. It is found in Befiehl du daine Wege from Mathew Passion, and in the Schemelli Song Book to which Bach contributed.

wonderful singer

Dietrich Henschel is perfect.

A great choir!

Fantastic

Muy bien. Muchas felicidades por la navidad

I wish they would show the echo parts soloists in "Flößt, mein Heiland" !

I still hope that Sir Gardiner will calm down a little bit when he comes of age. Just a tiny bit slower, and the music will start to breath naturally, without being in permanent hastiness...

What?

Cet enregistrement à au moins 20 ans avec Mmes Fink et Mc Fadden toutes jeunes!!

52:39 "Nur ein Wink von seinen Händen".

Tatsächlich eine grossartige Aufführung! Warum können die Leute nicht mindestens drei Sekunden warten nach dem Schlussakkord, bevor sie mit Klatschen beginnen, Schade!

What’s the name of the second aria sung by the soprano?

Please de quand date cet enregistrement?

9:40 Echo aria

09:32 Cant.4 Mvt.4: Aria (Claron McFadden, soprano): Flößt, mein Heiland... 1:05:45 Cant.6 Mvt.11: Chorale: Nun seid ihr wohl gerochen

Au-delà des faux semblants, JS Bach dénonce l’ordre apparent et les paradoxes d'un monde insensible. Spirituel, sensoriel et rebelle, ce poète dévoile les impostures secrètes, explore des jouissances sereines, un monde de rêves resurgissants¯\_(ツ)_/¯

These are references to song numbers of the church's songbook, shown there for the current service. On the basis of the numbers, the attenders at church can see which songs they have to sing in the service.

I my opinion it is played far too fast. I prefer the slower variation.
