As an Egyptian, I am so grateful for the Dutch for perserving this precious heritage of Bach, the best composer of all time. Truly, Music knows no boundaries.

Praise the Lord for Bach…

This is about as close as we can get to heaven on earth.

Reading all the comments here, as a Chicagoan, listening and sharing this beyond magnificent gift of music with all of you tells me Bach has achieved a wish from all of the world that goes beyond any faith or religion. He has connected all of us, centuries later, via the gift of music. I am deeply touched by his music, and by extension, to all of you whose heart has been similarly moved.

Diese Musik kann in schweren Zeiten die Seele aufrichten und beim Weiterleben sehr behilflich sein.

Thank the Lord for this music. I wish music in church today could still be this beautiful.

This is the purest expression of civilisation

Bach is ruthless. He strikes us with the beauty of his compositions in such a way that it is difficult to experience this music without tears. However, it happens when performers achieve a really high level. Praise to you Netherlands Bach Society for all this beauty.

Es gibt über 200 Kantaten von J.S:B., eine schöner, tiefsinniger als die andere ...ja und dann gibt es eben noch "Wachet auf...", und wenn die Musiker der Netherlands Bach Society diese Kantate vorträgt, dann kommen einem die Tränen, denn dieses Werk ist einfach überirdisch schön. Danke, Ihr Niederländer!

I don't say it often, but seeing such amazing quality uploads shared with everyone around the world for free makes me proud to be Dutch :-)

Maria Keohane = uniquely beautiful natural vocal timbre + impeccable technique + superb stage presence and dramatic sensibility.

"Wachet auf !" "Wake up !" "Wakker worden !" Das ist die Essenz. That is the essence. Dat is de essentie. Greetings from Hamburg/Germany

From the bottom of my heart I thank you Netherlands Bach Society. This recording is single handedly pulling me out of a dark place day after day . I feel a renewed optimism for humanity when I listen to this cantata, with its immeasurable beauty. Joy and hope in audible form. I love it beyond comprehension. Thank you again 🙏

It is just breathtaking, I'm literally tearing up. Bach would have given an arm and a leg to be able to work with you people.

Johann Sebastian Bach, mehr gibt es nicht zu sagen. Und ihr seid klasse

Here in Brazil, making my baby sleep listening this music of haven! Love Bach.
-
0:24 i love this scene, when the clarinet plays the wonderful melody and how he and Maria Keohane look at each other, it shows the magic of the music
-
Finally, finally the courage to take that solemn tempo in the entrance choir! Most often conductors take it much too quick. Thank you.

J S Bach was one of God's greatest gifts to mankind . This Cantata is just magnificent.
