[acc96build]

All can say is wow.

[feryxxx]

is this song in some movie? anthology? or smtn?

[KathaH89]

Uh, more slowly, PLEASE! This is nothing happy or funny, it is full of tears and sufferings! And more Quiet... it is helpless and incomprehensible. One has to listen to the lyrics and analyse them to get the atmosphere before one can sing this

[f00xbau]

It's done in just the right tempo. Performing chorals too slow IMHO is a commonly made mistake. Furthremore this choral takes place at almost the beginning of St. Matthew Passion where it acts as a small retarding element in the middle of a fast-advancing (dramatic) happening. A too slow performance of this choral would break the suspense.

My God, 42seconds only and I think I'm dying moved. It's so beautiful.

@Ritzounett LOL...I agree. There's got to be more than just this.

Schön

[melanchthon1969]

Bach rightfully included the most poignant Lutheran passion hymn in St. Matthew's Passion:

Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended,

that man to judge thee hath in hate pretended?

By foes derided, by thine own rejected,

O most afflicted.

Lo, the Good Shepherd for the sheep is offered;

the slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered;

for our atonement, while we nothing heedeth,

God intercedeth.

[l33tmaster104]

Awesome.
