Andreas Scholl - Bach - Vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust

[deadcuddles]

This is one of the most beautiful to listen to of all the Bach I have ever listened to. Scholl is to this as Kozena is to Contata bwv 199

[Voime09]

Que belleza

[kjftrio]

this is truly heaven. there are many great composers then there is J.S Bach.

[Wiscatsin]

@kjftrio Well put, kjiftrio, "There are many great composers, and then there is J. S. Bach." I could not agree more.

[Arsenate22]

WOW - does Andreas Scholl ever disappoint?

[Schwanengesang415]

@Arsenate22

To me, yes, he has..but definately not this one:)

[stargirlsusan]

Music like this has touch me the way no other has ever done

[TripleMirror]

@stargirlsusan I felt the same when I listened it!

[JurajIsamkral]

OMG wonderful!!!

[JurajIsamkral]

OMG wunderful!!!!

[voltamore]

Scholl and Iconomou - a class for themselves in interpreting Bach. To die for!

[andmat5]

quanto mi piace andreas scholl!!!

[xylfox]

Used by Procul Harum: a wider shade of pale:-))

[3232siobhan]

Bloody awful singing and in the wrong key. Painful.

[dongiodue]

@3232siobhan

who are you to critisise?

[seempels]

Oh, this is wonderful.

[serenaluce]

@seempels I agree. It's really wonderful! I also like very much Kowalski's version of this great aria on YT! I first heard it in his interpretation and it impressed me so much! Both great artists!

[tamerlano236]

Very beautiful. Great rendition. Bravo.

[TripleMirror]

Possibly the most beautiful piece of music on Earth.

[keckvan66]

Notice that Bachs greatest aria's are alto aria's

[thedaedragon]

awesome!!!! i love it!!!

impressed T_T

[Coriolanable]

This is so very beautiful!! Listening to Bachs music sung by Scoll gives me goosebumps.

[voce64]

Immer und ewig wird diese Arie mit dem Abschied von unserer geliebten Tochter verbunden sein. Andreas hat sie für uns gesungen zur Eröffnung der Feier.

Zwischen Himmel und Erde irgendwo...

[david141185]

Und ich war heute bei Andreas Scholl zu Hause! Wir haben grad ein Bauprojekt für ihn am laufen für sein neues Musikzimmer und Aufnahmeraum.

[siervadedios1]

Muy buena... Andreas Scholl!!! I love your voice!!

[fpaulnl]

Perfect execution, like an angel singing a song directly from the heavens!

[HerbicidalManiac]

Vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust, Dich kann man nicht bei Höllensünden,  Wohl aber Himmelseintracht finden; Du stärkst allein die schwache Brust. Drum sollen lauter Tugendgaben In meinem Herzen Wohnung haben.

[LoboCrush]

@HerbicidalManiac danke fuer das Text

[tromporg]

die schönste arie für alt überhaupt

[Misiab3000]

chciała bym widziec koncert we wrocławiu

miałam okazje poznac go osobiście

[ickbenick]

Who have the songtext for me?!

[ztammuz]

it doesnt come better than this

[Petronivs1750]

Bach Kantaten, kann man zu jeder Zeit hören :)

[waltraudmucher]

Ich liebe diese Kantate, da sie auch für mich als Mezzosopranistin ( und wahrscheinlich für jeden Mezzo-Alt ) zu den Favoriten in Bezug auf all die herrliche Vokalmusik von Bach zählt.

Ich würde Sie etwas textdeutlicher singen sonst finde ich die Interpretation von Andreas Scholl einfach traumhaft schön, romantisch, schwingend, Musik zum Träumen. Würde mich nicht wundern, wenn die erste Arie demnächst auf einer Kuschel-Klassik-CD landet, und das meine ich positiv!!

[wichmannsburg]

Sublime, céleste, merveilleux ... et REPOSANT : l'âme respire.. Merci Andreas Scholl et Philippe Herreweghe pour l'interprétation, merci "LoRau" de nous offrir ce magnifique morceau.

[yourforte]

I love this.

[Nattyduck]

C'est un élan de l'âme vers Dieu, vers le monde de beauté où ailée et libre elle plane dans les nuages,,,Le pic de contemplation.

[Nattyduck]

Thanks a lot for posting this heavenly music on youtube...I can't imagine my life without Bach.

[classicalmusicfan70]

Einfach himmlisch! Ich habe diese Aufnahme in wesentlich besserer Tonqualität und schmelze jedes Mal dahin, wenn ich sie höre. Andreas Scholl gehört zu den Sängern, die ich unbedingt mal live erleben möchte. Also, Herr Scholl, bitte treten Sie nächstes Jahr unbedingt in Hamburg auf (am liebsten mit so schönen Barockarien wie diese). Ich werde da sein...:))

[TheAspenTom]

Thanks so much for posting this. One of the many wonderful things about Bach is that his output is so vast that one can discover new masterpieces throughout one's entire life. I love hearing works I know well, but it is very special to hear a new work (new to me!) like this one. Also, it can be enlightening to hear a familiar movement from a big work all by itself, completely out of context. It can be almost like hearing it for the first time.

[Bachwerkeverzeich548]

@TheAspenTom What a beautiful comment =)

[gigie555]

A heart rendering movement from this Cantata. What can I say...not of this earth. In a similar vein, I also like BWV 54 first movement, "Widerstehe doch der Sünde" with Glen Gould version on harpsipiano with orchestra. Also "Erbarme dich" from Matthaus Passion is also a heart stirring piece. How sad to see such beautiful music under appreciated in this modern world of noise making for the masses.

[ScientiaVeritasEtLux]

i agree with you on Erbarme Dich. It's my favorite piece that Scholl sings. Literally gives me goosebumps and forces me to close my eyes while i listen to it.

[Monteverdiforever]

Sublime.

[yurss]

No hay nada que decir. Sólo escuchar y agradecer......

[markboetius]

Thank you: I did not know this one, it is simply BACH.

[rythmiz]

his voice is like come from heaven, it's suit with the sky :)

thanks for the post

and it really make me feel calm

[homousios]

feeling of wonder and magic.long dormant has been aroused because of this beautiful music. Truly healing. Thanks for posting

[dermotafan]

Beautiful. Janet Baker stil remains my favourite and Bernarda Fink of lately.

[puranzel]

You do realise that this is a man singing, don't you? It's the German counter tenor Andreas Scholl.

[Vihor189]

Ouch... Divine!

[yourforte]

Beautiful. Bach wrote some of the most poignant music.

[andreiSDG]

Oh, Lord... this music is so close to my heart! It seems to me that it doesn't belong to any space or time...just to YOU!

[demetridom]

If anything can convince the soul this is it

[julienbencze]

This is PERFECTION. The problem is, the melody and performence are so perfect and beautiful, that's it's like a drug addiction and a torture in the same time when I listen to it.

[bachlover99]

Beautiful though it undoubtedly is I cannot help thinking that JSB himself would have preferred hearing the wonderful rendition by Janet Baker.

[pincet7]

Scholl was born to sing Bach, partly because he is German himself, partly because of his unbelievable skills.

[andreinadasart]

I agree!

[andreinadasart]

This aria is DIVINE! I like it very much

[Arch5280]

Andreas Scholl does the aria justice, but the real miracle is the aria itself; one of J.S.Bach's most wonderful compositions. I can hear echoes of "Tief gebuckt und voller Reue"...

[silbersteinovic]

that is musical perfection. thanx for posting.

greetz from germany.

[debartzen]

Perdón.También gracias al gran contratenor Andreas Scholl.

[debartzen]

De una belleza increíble.Gracias Bach.Gracias Herreweghe.Gracias por poder oir.Gracias por vivir.

[mradaChris]

Beautiful piece of music! Andreas is an angel when he sings.

[ilorts]

Very beautiful and heart-touching. I think Bach saw the heaven when he composed this song. And the tempo is perfect. Very good.

[streek23]

Absolutely incomparable music. Heavenly. And, this recording is quite good. Bravo, Andreas Scholl!

[IntoHisImage]

This music draws my spirit closer to God, heavenly, will listen to more of Bach.

[gehaktmolen]

wonderfulllllllllllll

[filmauge16zu9]

BACH ist... vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust.

[vasylynka007]

This is indeed divine music and superb singer! Very natural singing, good orchestra, beautiful melody, just perfect combination!

Truly Seelenlust! Merci beaucoup for this posting!

[homousios]

This is beautiful thanks

[johannesuacm]

Como tantata de Bach, es una de las más sublimes, y más al cuate que lo subió gracias valedor!!!! y también por esta obra de lo mejor de lo mejor que Bach hizo en vida!!!

[fairyboy3]

la primera vez que vi caer nieve yo escuche esto fue una experiencia religiosa.

[johannesuacm]

Si te lo creo, sabes, cundo escuche en particular esta obra a mi parecer es una de las hermosas que he escuchado de Bach, comprendí que la experincia de conocer o dedicarsela a Dios lo hace tan grande, además de que se tenía más respeto a la religión y con esta wow lo más sublime expresion de estetica a la musica

[fairyboy3]

Solo queria llamar tu atencion. y sali con el tiro por la culata pues encuentro que eres muy sensible y que sabes de musica , un saludo desde caracas entonces.

[johannesuacm]

Gracias, un saludo desde la Ciudad de México, en verdad si bastante, y gusto en personal la música de Bach y si le agregas que estudio Filosofía, pues más...no te preocupes aunque seas un poco sarcástica...jejeje no te preocupes, saludos!!!!!

[fairyboy3]

gracias y soy hombre. gay pero hombre. qiue interesante la filosofia digamos que yo soy un filoarte o amante del arte que tambien soy hijo de terpsicore!

saludos again desde la sultana del avila!

[fairyboy3]

[liebermex]

Simply HEAVENLY!

[alberspower63]

This is probably one of the most sublime pieces of music written and to find it on youtube was a real treat. Thanks LoRau for your excellent contrinbutions. A.S is also sublime. Seen and heard him many times in Amsterdam.

[onionpizza]

Thanks for posting this awesome cantata!

[collectkit]

The best part of this cantata is the 3rd mov.

[PatrickWatson]

Fuck yes! The 2nd movement is a little too long-winded, and the 1st one is just perfect.

[periola]

I heart this cantata omg

[firebreathone]

This is incredibly beautiful

[Peteconomics]

OMG one of THE most beautiful bachs ever heard

I know lot of cantatas, but this one I didn't know yet, just great !! and such a beautiful voice too

[Bachsoboe]

Sent shivers down my spine, thanks for posting. Would love to hear him singing the countertenor aria in BWV 115, Pascal Bertin does it in the Suzuki version. That is wonderful.

[BachLoveNat]

Thanks, LoRau....
