Bach - Matthaus Passion - 27. Duet SA/C. - So ist mein Jesus

[thomasbsturm]

I'm used to this one being for Soprano and Alto duet. But still quite fantastic. This part of the Matthus-Passion constantly reminds me of the fact that Bach is just better than us.

[Youkali09]

Extraordinary. Which choir is this?

[stargirlsusan]

I love the ending,

I wonder how Bach would have originally performed, hm?

[MusicPortray]

The best recording i've heard.......Beautiful

[nomposumus]

¿Bellísima música!

[hayretyani]

The best performance is from Monteverdi chor with Sir E. Gardiner. Try it

[elephanthulfe]

Сумасшедшая музыка. Солисты, хор -выше всяческих похвал. Великолепны аутентичные духовые.

Первая скрипка и вообще струнные как-то невыразительны.

[evoandy]

wow. what a great performance!

[amabeline]

Zaraz po zdradzieckim pocałunku Judasza Jezus zostaje pojmany.

I wtedy ...ta piękna muzyka.

Kurz nach dem Verrat Jesu durch den Kuss des Judas wird er festgenommen.

Dann kommt diese große Musik!

[amabeline]

Mond und Licht Ist vor Schmerzen untergangen, Weil mein Jesus ist gefangen. Sind Blitze, sind Donner In Wolken verschwunden? Eine jammervolle, mitleiderregende und trauertragende Art des Singens. Eröffne den feurigen Abgrund, o Hölle, Zertrümmre, verderbe, Verschlinge, zerschelle Mit plötzlicher Wut Den falschen Verräter, Das mördrische Blut!

[amabeline]

Niebiańska bachowska muzyka. Pięknie oddaje tekst. Soliści i orkiestra słodko i współczująco a chór woła głośno o uwolnienie!

So ist mein Jesus nun gefangen / Laß ihn, haltet, bindet nicht ..

[GWAR1018]

I really like Emma Kirkby's voice

[madziua90]

Yes, she is so so good!

I'm learning soprano pieces from Matthaus Passion listening to her Passion recordings :)

[znotch]

aaaaaaah! shit! the closing note is cruelly truncated!

[Masamuneblader]

Yeah seriously they should have left the video a bit longer to let the last note ring out.

[znotch]

nice ongoing tempo, nice clear recording. Only the entry of the male singer was very ugly. Choir has a very nice pointy and sharp quality.

[jorgepoveda]

El silencio indicado en el pentagrama que aqui el conductor de la orquesta lee al minuto 3:50 a 3:51 ,no es solo un "truco" del maestro Bach..es quiza la parte mas significativa de esta pieza,porque prepara al coro para un final increible ,mientras que el espiritu se eleva para alcanzar el extasis musical.

[shazzer1976]

This is one of my favourite moments from the St.Matthew's Passion. Another one is the Alto aria at the beginning of the second half - 'Ach, nun ist mein Jesus hin'. I've been trying to find this online as well but with no success. Can anyone help?

[LeifOines]

type this into the search: Zrin4GfoRo

youtube wont let me give a direct link

[LeifOines]

sorry thats directed at shazzer's post

[shazzer1976]

Thank you so much for the link! I love that. Who is the soloist? Beautiful voice.

[32Styx]

Simply wonderful singing all the way around. I have this DVD and it has given me many hours of enjoyment. Michael Chance is a falsettist, who is an alto. Some falsettists are sopranists and they all can be called countertenors. The point is that they are using the inner edges of their vocal folds to create this false sound just as a string player can lightly touch his instrument and create what is called a harmonic. As for the root voice of any falsettist, there is really no pattern.

[classyteacherdiva]

This sounds really beautiful. Any ideas as to where I can find a translation? I wish I could get the gist of what they are saying.

[32Styx]

This duet is sung after Jesus is captured by the soldiers:"So is my Jesus captured now (loose Him, do not hold, do not bind him)Moon and light are quenched for sorrow, Because my Jesus is captured. They lead Him away, he is bound."

[EvelynCor]

I listened to it over a year ago... and again now... I'm impressed by the choir because you can really understand what they're singing. It's an oratorio after all and it *should* be that way... Great.

[paunitka]

Chance is not a soprano, as is Paradowski; he's a male alto. And countertenors are usually baritones, rather than tenors in their basic voice.

[michaelfraydon]

Bach is absolutely my favorite composer; -- and his Great Mass my favorite music.

[porfyr]

I think Johann Sebastian Bach would have been impressed by the soloists and the choir! I am very impressed both by the soloist interpretation and the choirs rythmic perfection.

[PooWL]

slightly to fast imo

[dreioktaven]

No...he's a countertenor!!

[kiya3]

You know, this is not such a clear distinction... There are a number of ways to describe this kind of voice, a countertenor is one of many.

[Aplusinskal]

Is he a soprana tenor??

[kiya3]

You may say that by the way he sounds - tenor is a male soprano.

[artgo2000]

I have this CD and is one of my favorites movements

[whizkidforte]

I especially love it when Michael Chance and Emma Kirkby blend their voices together. How delightful!
