Discovery of the Bach-Stiftung St Gallen was one of the most serendipitous moments of my musical life. The performances are peerless: historically informed, spiritually communicative and vibrant with vitality, thanks to the superb vision and skill of Rudolf Lutz and his unfailingly splendid singers and instrumentalists.

I sang in the choir in this cantata back in 1969. The melodic line and the words are still fresh in my mind. What an experience this was . Being Jewish, I stuck out like a sore thumb in the Dutch Reformed church in which we performed (South Africa)

Was für ein wunderbares Orchester! Klänge aus der künftigen Welt in Himmelsherrlichkeit mit dem Messias-König Jesus Christus auf dem Welten-Thron.

"Himmelskönig, sei willkommen...." ich singe mit. Man fängt ja geradezu automatisch damit an. Das ganze Kirchenschiff schwingt langsam mit, merken Sie es nicht? Polyphony at its finest. Jeden Tag höre ich des Herrn Leipziger Kapellmeisters Musik. Sie spendet Trost und inspiriert zugleich. Den Musikern aus St. Gallen bin ich zu grossem Dank verpflichtet, dass sie die Musik so wunderbar aufführen.

These wonderful church cantatas by Bach. Music of the highest order. Too seldomly performed live. We are lucky to have plenty of good recordings like the one above.

We performed it live last week, in Bariloche, Patagonia, Argentina, with our local Bach choir (amateur) and instrumental ensemble, conducted by Guillermo Lopez. A great pleasure.

One of the best interpretations of this cantata. Bach provides my spiritual nourishment.

These days people love really smooth audio like this, where all the sound blends like a rolo yoghurt. It's clean, but it's not soulful. I think no one understands Bach like Harnoncourt.

Heaven is a church in Trogen. Magnificent - beautiful ensemble, so,so, wonderful.

Eine der vollkommensten Aufführungen der Bach-Stiftung. Großartig! Herausragend Blockflöte und Alt. Danke.

MY SECOND-FAVOURITE OF ALL THE CANTATAS! Divine, truly divine!

A beautiful cantata; one of my favorites by Bach. Jesus does not enter Jerusalem with pomp and grandiosity; he does so without regality, but with love, and that is beautifully expressed in the sonata.

Cette interprétation une caresse pour l'âme. Merci rodolf lutz

Beautiful recorder playing....thank you!

Eine zarte, dabei ungemein lebhafte und "durchsichtige" Interpretation. Wie immer musiziert Rudolf Lutz mit den Seinen auf höchstem "St. Galler" Niveau

I feel wonderfully good after hearing this performance. It brings tears to my eyes.

Enjoyed these Cantata's some much more with the English text, it gives so much more meaning and depth to this wonderful music. Thank you.

Ich beginne erst, Bachkantaten kennenzulernen, und ich bin fasziniert von der dunklen, warmen Alt-Arie und der herrlichen vollen Stimme der Altistin. Sehr berührend. Auch die Konzertmeisterin lauscht so intensiv, es ist eine Freude zu hören und zu sehen.

Parabéns Maestro Rudolf Lutz, músicos, coral e solistas. Ouvir Cantatas de Johan Sebastian Bach emociona......

Mt y wife and I are currently stuck at home, feeling fairly sick with COVID for the second time. These cantatas, many of which I hear for the first time, are a great medicine. Hoomeyow!!

Esta es una de las mejoras cantatas de Bach, sin duda alguna. Gran versión. Excelente la flautista y la violoncellista

Bach kadar dünyayı, insanı ve evreni müziğiyle anlatan başka bir besteci yoktur. O'nun müziği, adeta insanın evrendeki varlığını ve anlamını anlamayı sağlayan bir gerçeklik sunuyor. Her sesi ve enstrumanı, kontrapunta tekniği ve sağlam akorlar eşliğinde mükemmel şekilde bir bütünde buluşturan bu dahi adama her eserini ve özellikle kantatlarını dinlediğimde hayran kalıyor, inanılmaz buluyorum. İyi ki varsın J.S.Bach; eserlerinle; bize, aç gözlülerin hakim olduğu bu dünyada insan olduğumuzu hissettirdiğin için!

Das Grave-Pizzicato zum Eingang vielleicht als majestätischen Einzug des Königs auf dem Esel zu hören...

M'hauria agradat que al menys en algún espai hi constés. la meva traducció. Gràcies de totes les maneres,

Gràcies. Ja he vist que ho feu constar al final.

I feel moved. Just sounds straight from heaven.

Tengo la sensación de que Dios está con vosotros, presente Emocionante esas voces

Preist den HERRN! Jesus ist soooooooooooooo gut!

Mbro O'neil! It's a (T'was an) ordinary Friday night here in the Rocky Mountains. 23:19. Of course it just became extraordinary. ...as I bam-decide to go through with putting my 2cents out there to the global polis. Just now as I draft n draft text, like the dutiful little ant we all are.... the lovely, going-up and "allegretto" recorder/voice duet. The peculiar harmonic overtones of the Germanic "Blockflöte" here will have, with certainty, resonated in that heart of y/ours, which bleeds green 😁. Or, if you will, bleed the overtones of at least 50 shades of Celtic tinwhistle. I'm intoxicated by Bach's ingenious melody in this instance for a flute. But onward. As can often be the case while listening to JSB, the human mind-body can easily launch into a thing I don't quite get. The biblical version of this thing says--I think it was Paul: "Whether in the body or the spirit I know not [...]. And in another place, best I can do paraphrasing: "Whether I was in the 6th or the 7th heaven don't make much difference ... [ETC...more fodder for 2000+ years of theologians...] The thing? A sudden un-willed effusion of memories, subdued fireworks of every hue, philo-sophy (love of though in its naive sense, and who knows how many shades of human love? Will spare us all a neo-Finnegan's Wake. The world needed only that one tome of such literature. It was indeed necessary at that juncture of our common experiment named "Earth." And so: big thanks is due to the ancient-modern nation who gave us that, "The Portrait of the Artist," and everything in between. Wanna bet JamesJ and Hannes get on great somewhere over there on 'The Otherside?" Get along famously like neutral (NOT) Swiss and fiery Irish Fisherboatmen. Tonight, with all this near miraculous stuff coming to the mind-body of just one more jaded American: Why do I now actually believe there will be a globally instructive, happy-but-not-Hollywood ending to codeword "Ukraine?" Time will tell. ===== And to Herrn Dirigent Lutz: Who could have imagined the "Tragweite," also the after effects (Nachwirkungen) of the crazy Bach-cantata project that all of you amazing Swiss [et al.] Humanists, Benefactors and Performers embarked upon? Huge thanks for your bulldog courage, matched by skill. Somehow Bach and you lightened AND transfigured the mental image of that heartsickening news flash none of us will be able to erase. The one where we found out Mr. Putin really did go through with the unthinkable. The unthinkable, after everything we have all been through from 1933-Present. Well: time to rethink, right? And finally, what is it about this highly idiosyncratic cantata?! One none of us may have ever heard in such an ideal live performance? That penultimate chorus movement, which to me evoked the starry-night paintings of Van Gogh? Whose answer is in the so-well prepared Schlusschoral. And it seems all of you together experienced this new nuance--to us but not to Bach--of the concept 'state of mind.' Mark (Arizona usa)

This is an early cantata by JSB, which is proven above all by its overarching form. Nevertheless, the sensitivity to music tone, harmony, counterpoint and architectonic equilibrium is already here.

Great performance, but next time, don't leave it "in the can" for 12 years!

Wonderful music by J.S. Bach, the composer who was born in Eisenach, Germany in 1685 and later became court concertmaster in Leipzig (Germany). He composed very beautiful works, including the Christmas Oratorio!

Was mich stört bei dieser hervorragenden Aufführung Bach'scher Musik sind die zahlreichen Großaufnahmen des Dirigenten, die den Eindruck erwecken das dieser überproportional in Bewegung ist. Das hat m.E. zur Folge das der Betrachter zu sehr von dieser herrlichen Musik abgelenkt wird. Meine Bitte an die Kamera-Regie: ein Weniger tut wohler!
