J.S. Bach - Cantata 179 - V. Aria "Liebster Gott, erbarme dich"

[RobinHautbois]

Oboe da caccia, how rare and wonderful!

[3Liria]

Precioso...sin palabras

[radiofriendly]

I just read this about the piece: "...although in A minor, it modulates to C minor. Not only is this jarring, it also puts the music in a harmonic region where the instruments simply cannot play in tune...the singer (a boy at the time), too, is asked to sing lower than support permits. The whole performance sounds loathsome and disgraceful(!)" Text: "My sins sicken me like pus in my bones; help me Jesus...for I am sinking in deepest slime." -Taruskin

@radiofriendly Is it possible to know who wrote this sharp criticism, please ?

[jasjjb]

@InnocentParadis don't worry about this strange criticism this weirdo posted. If you look at his own YT site you quickly see what his taste is. He obviously has no knowledge of good music and perhaps made this comment in the hope to get famous ? We better ignore it alltogether and enjoy great these performances.

Thanks so much for posting this wonderful Bach aria! Who was the oboe da caccia soloist? (By the way, aren't there supposed to be TWO caccia players? Or was that bassoonist playing the 2nd caccia part?)
