Komm, Jesu, komm, mein Leib ist müde, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, used to be known amongst singers from Leipzig as ‘Der saure Weg’, after the most difficult phrase in the piece. The path to its origin is a straighter one, as although we still do not know precisely for whom Bach wrote this piece, it is anyway clear that he composed it himself. Moreover, we can presume that it is a funeral or memorial motet.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on May 14th 2016 at the Grote Kerk, Naarden. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

Händels Water Music
Bijna drie eeuwen geleden gaf Händel een concert dat we ons nu nóg herinneren. Op een groot vlot voer hij, met orkest, over de Theems. De kabbelende rivier begeleidde de première van zijn Water Music. Een stuk dat niet bedoeld was voor de vissen en trekschuiten, maar voor koning George I. De drie suites van Water Music vormden de achtergrond voor een diner op zijn koninklijke jacht. Het smaakte deze ‘royals’ uitstekend: Händel en zijn musici moesten het werk twee keer herhalen.
Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin
Dit seizoen waagt Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin (Akamus) zich met HändelsWater Music aan een van de bekendste klassieke werken. Akamus won onlangs de Bach-medaille van de stad Leipzig, voor hun verdiensten in het historisch verantwoord uitvoeren van oude muziek. Wat dat betreft is Water Music extra interessant omdat er meerdere versies van het werk bestaan. Op het water klinkt muziek immers heel anders dan op het land.
On May 7, 1824, Beethoven shared his 9th Symphony with the world even though he could never hear it. On May 7, 2015 celebrate the anniversary of Beethoven’s most glorious and jubilant masterpiece with Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. An exhilarating testament to the human spirit, Beethoven’s Ninth bursts with brooding power and kinetic energy and culminates in the exultant hymn, “Ode to Joy.”The video is now available free on demand for all to enjoy! — See more at: cso.org/beethoven9

Glenn Goulds debut album of Bachs Goldberg Variations was recorded in June 1955. The Columbia LP quickly became one of the most revered piano recordings ever made and Gould became the most famous classical artist of the day. His exciting, unorthodox new way of playing Bach left listeners awestruck and critics around the world hailing him as a genius. But until recently this iconic album was limited by the dated recording technology of its time.
On September 25, 2006, history was made again. Zenph Studios recorded its debut re-performance® to standing ovations in the CBCs famed Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto. The date would have been Glenn Goulds 74th birthday, and what a gift Zenph created to give his fans.
The Zenph re-performance is a revelation in its clarity, depth, and vibrancy. Gould seems to play at an almost inhuman speed and yet with complete accuracy. The 30 variations dazzle the listener with their inventiveness and variety. As music historian and Gould biographer Kevin Bazzana writes in the CDs liner notes, «Here, albeit with his trademark vocalizing no longer accompanying the performance, Goulds musical personality is unquestionably present...»
