Bach Cantata, BWV 47 - 1.Chorus - Wer sich selbst erhöhet

What IS unique about these four voices is that they are all so different in timbre that it is extremely easy to follow each part clearly. BRIAN

Sorry, but Jens Weber's voice is very strange. I think it is an error to use him in a OVP. What a pity the cut at 1:04!

i like bach best when he's angry- almost tempted to say he's at his best then- but he also does struggly sadness so well- and of course the oceanic- this is best version i have seen or heard- the 1 voice to a line- like rifkin's b minor messe

@davideberhardt100 I agree. Where Rifkin somtimes is tempted to be almost "jazzy" is the orchestra here very precise in the tactus. Wonderful. I seek the details and paralels in voice and instrument; wich is very hard on U tube. To me Bach is at his best in the meditative pieces in his organ works like BWV721
