Erbarme Dich

[KKarkaz]

picture is good except seeing the feet

[zhiopm]

@KKarkaz

yeah, it was rather random than intended to film my feet ;-)

[purplehaze216]

this shit makes me wanna learn to play the violin yo

[hawkfall]

Wonderful music, and a great clip to match it. Thanks for posting it.

[exoplanet11]

Nice video. You did what Tarkovsky did: invite us to experience nature in a deep way as the ground and root of human experience.

[vojinko]

Shaking hands are not really a problem here. They even add some drama to overall impression. I'm a big fan of Norway and my heart is happy to see someone working stuff as this. Many warm regards from Serbia! God Påske!

[tamerlano236]

Nice. Great aria. Great Bach. The best version I've ever heard is Nicholas Spanos's. That is just otherworldly.

[zhiopm]

@tamerlano236

Thanks tamerlano

Well, I doubt if the human being will be ever able to reach this level in his humanly existence!

[tamerlano236]

@zhiopm You are so true in your description of this piece. It's one of the best pieces of music ever written in the history of mankind. Did you just comment on the music or you agree with me too that Spanos's version is the best?

[zhiopm]

@tamerlano236

I did comment only on the music ;-)

But I like Julia Hamari's performance more, maybe because I know this piece from the beginning by her. But I prefer of a man vocal sings this. Woman can never reach that high in soul, but they can sing nice ;-)

[tamerlano236]

@zhiopm Agreed. Women can sing nice. And Hamari sings it very beatiful. But I still prefer countertenors singing Erbarme dich. It just sounds heavenly.

[NudePanorama]

Fantastic video thank you so much. Bach music is made for Tarkovsky cinema.

The scenery is beautiful and serene...

[zhiopm]

@NudePanorama

Thanks Nudepanaroma,

I think Tarkovsky's cinema is made for Bach's music ;-)

[DjMelstaitz]

Best music ever written!

Such a great melody

[Nesciio]

With this music I can only close my eyes and stay aware of the fact that I'm breathing; a tear rolls down, time & space dissolve... no picture or video can capture the experience. Still I thank you for posting, for it made me listen once again :-)

[zhiopm]

Thanks Nesciio for your nice description. It is indeed a music of loosing existence. After I made this video, I sat on a chair by the lake and listened to the music continuously for a long time, I fell in trance and didn't notice the flood. My legs and the camera were in cold water!

[quagapp]

Beautiful music and sombrely beautiful scenery. great video - I like the shaking and constant movement of it...

[zhiopm]

Thank you :-)

[quagapp]

Thank you...and thanks for your thank you as it brought me back here! I like contemporary music also but for that "deep" feeling I default to Bach;I have liked "classical" music from an early age and even as a teenager I used to listen to a lot-but we also listened to much that was contemporary- then in the 60s. Now I have three Bach CDs always on my player (but I also"dip into" say Schnitte, Charles Ives, Varese or whoever: but Bach for background or when I want music!

[quagapp]

I don't mean that contemporary music can be "deep"... in some ways though I feel Bach is contemporary. Universal, forever as anything can be...

[tato4527]

J.S. BACH... el mayor músico de todos los tiempos... quien acaso no encuentra esta obra hermosa o no puede conmoverse con su grandeza... la puedo oir 100000 veces y siempre me conmueve enormemente...

[mclaire12]

coulthis be eula beal and menuhin???

mclaire12

[zhiopm]

Could be! The CD I have used for this clip has no informations about the artists :-(

[zhiopm]

@mclaire12

Wolfgang Gönnenwein/Julia Hamari)

[fredericmeleze]

is this the version used in "the sacrifice"?

I really find the movie's erbarme dich version so delicate and touching.

can anyone help me?

[zhiopm]

No it's not the same version :(

I loved that in the film too, but I don't know where to find it....

[zhiopm]

@zhiopm

I was wrong. It's the same

[Sutton48Mullins]

In the videoreaction above you'll find the Tarkovsky-Offret-version by Wolfgang Gönnenwein & Julia Hamari. Enjoy!

[mradaChris]

so nice!

[etiennejura]

superbe cette vidéo et quelle voix !!! mais qui chante ? ça vous donne la chair de ... poule...et comment trouver ce cd ??

[coco85330]

Ce ne peut-être que JULIA HAMARI, bouleversante d'émotions.

[etiennejura]

merci pour la réponse je vais faire des recherches sur julia hamari... superbe voix !

[lmspr]

Is this Julia Hamari singing? The voice is very similar to another version posted here on YouTube with her. Whoever is singing, this is very beautiful.

[zhiopm]

I don't know who is singing, but yes he/she sings really beautiful :).

Thank you

[dies1domini]

J.S.Bach - St. Matthew Passion (BWV 244), Aria 'Erbarme dich...' Original text : Erbarme dich, mein Gott, Um meiner Zähren Willen ! Shaue hier, Herz und Auge Weint vor dir bitterlich. Erbarme dich, mein Gott ! An English translation: Have mercy, my God, For the sake of my tears ! See here, heart an eye Weep bitterly before you. Have mercy, my God !

[1947K]

I thought this was so touching. I am performing this piece with a friend and would love to know who the musical artists are in this recording.

[zhiopm]

Thank you 1947K,

It is "Erbarme Dich" from Bach's "Matthew Passion".

[1947K]

But who are the performers on the CD? I love how they are expressing the music and text.I will be playing the violin part for Good Friday with a singer friend.

[zhiopm]

[Alicia7777777]

conmovedor y extraño.

[Geliebte01]

Erbarme Dich, mein Gott:

Über diese Welt und über Deine Menschen!

Du bist ein gerechter und barmherziger Gott und liebst Deine Menschen!

Danke Vater!

[silviafrizzera]

Grazie, Emmanuele :)

[Kalervot]

tarkovsky was not an "artist" he was living and breathing love personified.

[BachLoveNat]

It was the greatest artist....

Но не было более талантливого режиссера в России, подобного Андрею Тарковскому. Каждая его работа - это всегда шедевр, неповторимый, ранящий душу,....и эта боль только ради грешных людей. Воплощение идеи Бога, не ради праведников, но ради грешников....

[zhiopm]

well, i don't undrestand russian :(

[BachLoveNat]

Sorry... I sent a mess to you :)

[zhiopm]

Thank you very much, i'V got it!

[BachLoveNat]

I said Scholl is the best in that case... :)

[stavropol]

There hasn't been more talented director than Andrei Tarkovsky. Each of his works is a masterpiece - unique, touching soul [literally says "hurting the soul"], and this [caused] pain is for the sake of sinners. It is realization of God's ideas not for the sake of righteous, but for the sake of sinners.

[kiya3]

hurting the soul - this is the best description I've heard

[zhiopm]

:-)

[dukehillsborough]

Andrei said we weren't placed here to be "happy," but for good and evil to battle within us. That is the true purpose of our lives.

[Kalervot]

That is the only purpose of this sphere of material existence.

Remember this especially this day, this friday.

[stalkrist]

we love Andrei

[zhiopm]

Yesm we do!
