J S Bach - cantata BWV 131- Aus der Tiefen - Ton Koopman ( 3 )

[TassiloDavid]

Unfortunately, Koopman bows to current orthodoxy and uses one-to-a-part in his feeble chorus, unlike Bach who used at least two to a part and preferred more.

@TassiloDavid What are "One to a part" and two to a part? What means that?

[jungjinbaek]

@codonauta Hiring one voice per part (OVPP)

[hymnistic]

@TassiloDavid there are ALWAYS at least 3 singers on each CHORAL part. Never 1 or even 2.

is the cellist jaap ter linden?

[AbeTakawa]

Yes

[netram2000]

@doctorgino2 Do you know Jaap's recording of Vivaldi's cello sonatas? Brilliant work!

[angusolaf]

@doctorgino2 Was wondering that too.

[ElhombreDuff84]

great perfomance!!!

[gerubach72]

I request BWV 150 please! That one has some cool movements! (Including the heavy descending chromatics in the Sinfoina.).

[codonauta]

Sorry, I don't have the BWV 150.

[Jeremiah3103]

It's interesting how Lothar Odinius expresses the "waiting of the soul for the Lord" . I like it. thank you for posting BWV 131 with ton Koopmann andhis crew at youtube.

[codonauta]

You find 3 others full cantatas of this DVD in the channel of " mishmash1001".

Cantatas BWV 106, 140, 147 are entire in his channel.

[wcbroccoli]

How so? Do you think he's improvising his part?

[Jeremiah3103]

No, I don't think he is improvising a lot. May be here and there a little bit and then well fitting into the whole. But rather with his voice, with increasing or decreasing the volume of his voice and the mood he expresses with his voice. And may be also with also well fitting little variations in the tempi.

[bersa888]

It's called singing and interpreting. All well suited (and historically appropriate) to this music :-)
