Bach - Cantata 105: Herr, gehe nicht ins Gericht mit deinem Knecht, BWV 105 (1723)

[HilaireDT]

Magnificent composition! 

[8474tim]

This is a beautiful performance of a magnificent piece. One regret is that Koopman could not sort out Bach's mystery 'corno di tirarsi', omitting (to my ear) the instrument from the opening chorus and sustituting a cornetto in the tenor aria.

This is music, real music absolutely outstanding !!!!!!!!!!!!

[danielroisman]

Great performance. Great music.

[Contrapunctus1984]

The opening chorus and the final chorale (20:15) are just beyond words.

C'est sublimissime!

Wonderful ! Many thanks for posting !!

The soprano aria (III) here is one of my absolute favourites. The wonderful oboe and the light-weight continuo make a floating impression of beauty, although not a particularly sorrowful coveying of the zittern und wanken of the sinner's thoughts. And Barbara Schlick is perfect.

20:40I've never seen in Bach a time signature changing in the same bar! :O

Some of Bach's more obscure cantatas may deserve to be overshadowed. No.105, however, definitely does not. Great musicality, harmonies and arrangements with memorable solos and choruses. Undoubtedly one of my favourites along with No.s 140, 208 and best of all the masterful 21. Thank you for posting the score. Helpful for all budding conductors and choirmasters.
