[MuhSoxAreRed]

How many people came here b/c of Casino?

[MsDhamma]

THANKS FOR JOHANN!

[FRAGIORGIO1]

Who are the members of this excellent choir? Stupendous piece!

[analogiest]

@FRAGIORGIO1  I believe this is the famed Thomanerchor of St. Thomas' Church school in Leipzig...the very same choir which 300 years ago the immeasurable Bach directed....

[FRAGIORGIO1]

@analogiest  Thank you for your information. Best wishes.

[STONECOLD1987]

Casino :D

[adelfosyadelfe]

Estoy anonadado!. Acabo de sufrir una especie de extraño escalofrío cuando escuche esto. No importa la religión, porque Bach demostró que la música trasciende absolutamente todo.

[aegg1957]

A raiz de "La pasíon de Alex", una conmovedora historia que está pasando Films and Art, volví a escuchar esta maravillosa pieza. Aclaro que no soy cristiano, pero siento que la músicra sacra occidental es algo que me acerca al concepto de "divinidad". Salve Johan Sebastian!

[rurun]

music was more advanced back then...

[lapaloma200711]

This is so wonderfulllllllll! Thank you for posting it!

[albegvir]

En ecoutant cette Passion je me sens transportée. Quelle grandeur d'âme de Bach pour avoir fait cette musique. A coté la musique de ce temps ci est très très loin.

[80216ify]

Armonia perfetta. Grande esecuzione.

[1954mikel]

esta musica me llena de infinita tristeza porque me hace recordar cuando vi su tumba en en Saint Thomaskirch en Leipzig. Fue tan honda la emoción que sentí!

[NatashaFatale59]

Are any of you aware that this piece is from the movie "Casino?" Thumbs up if you are.

[BchWrkVrzchn565]

Sublime.!



[birdiebirdiebird]

wonderful! i wish i coud sing ...



[PatriziaBluette]

‎"Noi ci sediamo piangendo e diciamo a te che sei nella tomba, o Cristo, riposa dolcemente. Riposate membra svuotate dalla sofferenza, riposate dolcemente, riposate in pace.

La tomba e la pietra funeraria saranno per il cuore angosciato il soffice cuscino ove dormire, saranno il riposo delle anime. Là gli occhi si chiudono nella gioia suprema del sonno.

In capo alla partitura Bach aveva scritto:

"Soli Deo gloria!"

[SarahLovesAHorse]

I love this piece -> Because it's the last one! xD

[fatass514]

My car just blew up.

[paradoxicus]

"Solo hubo un Cristiano y murió en la cruz"

E.M.Cioran.

[Jlct2235]

Esta bellisima obra sirvio de fondo musical en la Radio Catolica YSAX en El Salvador durante la guerra civil 1980 a 1992 cuando la extrema derecha y el ejercito asesinaban sacerdotes catolicos, veinticinco en total incluyendo un arzobispo Monseñor Oscar Arnulfo Romero

[crcasi7]

y bach creo a dios...........

[Sympatros]

Canto, ripiegamento melodico, riflessione canora sullo sconforto dell'esistere, sul piacere triste, balsamico e grandioso che accompagna il mistero dell'essere e del soffrire!

Accettazione del dolore, dell'incomprensibile dolore, nella speranza che dia un valore, un senso, un significato all'esistenza... umano... tutto troppo umano... Il resto è pallido nulla.

Questo mi par di sentire nella grandiosità barocca del pezzo e nel genio di Bach!

[kapost01]

One of the greatest musical masterpieces ever....Bach's genius is to me a proof of the existence of God...

[sion7111]

Bach, as always, from other world, higher than this

[slizzler1]

excellent

[dantheman992004]

When was this filmed?

[xX666Liana666Xx]

@dantheman992004 I think so 1980-2000

check out the glasses

[posh1961]

@xX666Liana666Xx They must have had the same optician!

[lorenzolopez77]

"Ahogados en lágrimas,

nos sentamos sobre la tumba

y exclamamos: descansa en paz,

que en paz descanses.

Descansad miembros ensangrentados,

descansad en paz.

Vuestra tumba y sudario

serán para la conciencia atormentada

un beso pacificador.

[pasma86]

La piel de gallina y un cierto escozor en los ojos me impiden comentar esta obra. En vez de eso volveré a escucharla

[cuculus50]

I'm not a religeous person either, but love everything apertaining to it: the music, the architecture - what is not to like? - apart from the blue-rinse babble fondling a bishop.

[f15r18]

Sin lugar a dudas, el mejor compositor de todos los tiempos. Su obra es majestuosa y adelantada a su epoca. Mis respetos para Bach...el maestro!

[smilelikedevil]

this is the greatest song , prayer and Creativity ... God really speak to us with bach language

[allemagne92]

Johann Sebastian Bach ist der Beste kompnist aller Zeiten der stellt selbst mit seiner ausergewöhnlichen art und weise seiner kmpsitionen mzart in den schatten

[GammaStrahlenLamm]

@olifricke

¿Que lengua es eso?

Was ist das für eine Sprache?

[flute1982]

AMEN!!

[ilenaestrella]

I envision heaven to be like this!

[Marybeatle71]

Con esta pieza no se puede evitar llorar, qué sentimiento...

[polissonet50]

me llama la atención el tamaño de la orquesta y coro, sin embargo la sonoridad absolutamente dentro del estilo no se resiente, la articulación y el equilibrio....perfectos!.....w­ow!

[1946frans]

Trots op Ton Koopmans, de grootste Bachkenner van de wereld!

[polissonet50]

@1946frans I agree that Ton Koopman is fantastic and I hear his version often, but this one is at the same level in my opinion. Best regards

[aljoscha24]

Bach kann man nicht kommentieren nur schweigend hören

[MrHanky86]

@aljoscha24 Endlich mal jemand, ders versteht !

[randyburkskis]

huhuHm kuschelbedarf und keiner da jemd  Lust zu chattn

[christylynn81]

best version on youtube. reminds me of when i got to visit thomaskirche...so beautiful!

[TheLurker101]

This music is sure powerful. Especially if your morning the loss of a loved one.. *sad

[3NUNS]

Bach : elect twice. One, by the grace of God, and secondly, by the bulk of classical musicians.

[3NUNS]

Notice the disciplined phrasing in the choirchildren as an instance.

[Guarneris]

Gracias Vonpre por traduccion, thanks Lefekir for trasnlation. It helps to appreciate better Bach's perfect sense of connection between music and words.

[lefekir]

My spelling error: should read - your grave and headstone . .

[vonspre]

(2)Vuestra tumba y su lápida

serán un cómodo lecho

para las angustiadas conciencias

y un lugar de reposo para las almas.

Felices son tus ojos,

que se cierran al fin.

[BPFanatico]

I like how it ends here.

[vonspre]

Euer Grab und Leichenstein

Soll dem ängstlichen Gewissen

Ein bequemes Ruhekissen

Und der Seelen Ruh

Ruhet sanfte, sanfte ruht!

Slatt, der Seelen Ruhstatt sein

Höchst vergnügt, höchst vergnügt

Schlummern da die Augen ein

[Guarneris]

Please, could you translate this into english? Thanks

[vonspre]

(1)Llorando nos postramos

ante tu sepulcro para decirte:

descansa, descansa dulcemente.

Descansad, miembros abatidos,

descansad, descansad dulcemente.

[lefekir]

Your gave & headstone shall be a comfortable cushion for a troubled conscience - and peace for your souls; Quiet, quiet rest in quiet; be a resting place; cheerful most, most cheerful your eyes shall slumber [my own free translation]

[vonspre]

Wir setzen uns mit Tränen nieder

Und rufen dir im Grabe zu

Ruhe sanfte, sanfte ruh,

Ruhe sanfte, sanfte ruh!(x2)

Rüht, ihr ausgesognen Glieder

Ruhet sanfte, ruhet wohl! (x2)

[macarmona]

Sublime!

No nay palabras para expresar esta belleza.

[paradoxicus]

Hago tods y cada una las palabras de tato4527 mias.

Bach,es fantastico y atemporal como musico.Esta musica transciende cualquier credo para ser patrimonio de la humanidad.Portentoso ejemplo de lo que la mente humana es capaz de crear.

¡Asombrosamente humano y divino!.

[lefekir]

absolutely splendid performance. Comparable to Richter's

[n1co2pr0]

casino. best film.

[TheKvia]

wie dit niet mag kan bieten eten!

[debartzen]

¡Increíble e impresionante!.

Honor y Gloria a JSB.

[tato4527]

Cuando escucho obras de tal grandeza, confirmo que la capacidad humana es ilimitada. es una de las piezas musicales mas hermosas de todos los tiempos, sin lugar a dudas. la grandeza de Bach es inconmensurable.

[AlexosAndros]

@tato4527 La capacidad de todos no es igual, algunos tiene habilidad para unas cosa y otros para otra. Creo que esto es innegable, no todos tienen ni la misma capacidad ni la misma oportunidad. También soy gran admirador de Bach y yo mismo canté este oratorio en el pasado, bien dificil por cierto, porque es para doble coro. Sin embargo, más que admirar a Bach reconozco que el estímulo que él tuvo era lo principal, él era devoto a su Dios. la firma en todas sus obras lo atestigua:Soli Deo Gloria

[Jaimejimmyjim]

@tato4527 Totalmente de acuerdo, pero la capacidad del espiritu humano abarca aun mucho mas ya que fue creado para contener la vida divina, que es Cristo, quien es en si inmesurable pero alcanzable a todos aquellos que le buscan y lo reciben.

[FRAGIORGIO1]

@tato4527 Amen.

[orloro]

Esta es la más maravillosa música del mundo. Diese ist das wunderschönste Musik der Welt.

[paulgeht]

das ist wahr!

[HaloedG]

No, Sam! Don't turn the key to the car, Sam! They rigged it with a bomb!!!

[Anusnym]

Explanation, pls?

[HaloedG]

Watch the first 5 minutes of Casino.

[Anusnym]

thanks

[ppetrov5]

No the last ...10 ;) Prfect movie!

[karmapolice048]

Divine

[swansandtyphus]

That's the whole idea LOL

[yvesswaelus]

Pour moi, c'est un des plus beaux extraits du monde de la musique classique. Ce n'est pet être pas l'interprétation que je préfère. Un peu plus lent et lyrique??

[fullrune072]

Poor sound quality!!!

[relaxanimal]

great music!

bach is genius.

[lavendel10]

Wunderschön

[Bennie347]

I am so sad to be living in a country where one can not hear this music performed live on Good Friday...it is not even a public holiday here. Thanks to this lovely video I can at least share in the deeply religious spirit of this day!

[Hedgehoggy83]

göttlich

[KathaH89]

It says "We are sitting down with tears in our eyes and say to you while you lie in your grave 'rest softly, softly rest'" Well, this is not a perfect translation, but I can't do better. I'm just a german student. ;-P And I do love this music, really! Bach was a great componist and I'm going to sing this as soprano today and tomorrow evening. Yee, I'm nervous! But it will be wonderful. :-)

[CGvdB]

I would replace 'softly' by 'gently' for a more literate approach.

[walterleipzig]

The official translation: We sit down in tears - and call to thee in the tomb: rest softly! softly rest! Rest, ye exhausted limbs, rest softly, rest well. Your grave and tombstone - shall for the uneasy conscience - be a comfortable pillow And the soul's resting place. Rest softly, softly rest! In the utmost bliss there our eyes shall fall asleep.

[Jesuvl]

Es la parte más conocida de la obra, pero os recuerdo que la obra completa dura más de dos horas... más de dos horas de prodigio musical...

[tato4527]

tienes toda la razón, la obra completa es extensa, este es uno de los apartes mas sonados, y por lo menos para mi el mas hermoso, definitivamente la grandeza de Bach es inconmensirable, genio enorme que le legó a la humanidad su sabiduría musical por medio de sus obras.

[f15r18]

Majestuoso! Me saco el sombrero ante usted maestro Bach.

[fotchklunnis]

"When you love someone, you've gotta trust em', theres no other way. You've got to give them the key to everything thats yours. Otherwise whats the point? -And for a while, i believed, thats the kind of love i had." -BOOM!

[arash2hu]

Have anyone seen Casino?

[Debussy07]

Indeed - that's where I was introduced to this wonderful piece.

[yourforte]

A beautiful rendition of a beautiful work. I love the phrasing.

[raquelnog06]

I´ve been in children choir about 5 years ago...And we presented this perfect creation with OSESP foundation, in Brazil.This was one of the most touching experiences of my life...I´ll never forget this.I adore Bach.The greatest composer ever.He is my happiness and my hope!

[attila3453]

very special music

how does the title translated?

[clemburke]

"We bow our heads in tears and sorrow"

It's the final chorus from St. Matthew's Passion, lamenting the death of Christ.

[attila3453]

that makes sense...

thank you

[elkinbilardo]

Excelente interpretacion del gran maestro Bach, es una lástima que el sonido sea pobre.

[debartzen]

Coro final del máximo exponente musical.

[eeputti]

Love this part. It's amazing when you see this performed in a church, and towards the end this comes. Wow!

[Phyrroskrieger]

Wenn ich dieses Chorstück höre geht mein Herz auf!!!!

[jette1070]

Bach ist immer wieder ein großes Erlebnis

[Necropsiq]

7 years ago.. i was 20 and in love.. i took from the shelves "The Sorrows of Young Werther" by Goethe and put this masterpiece from Bach on... i was reading and listening as i never did it before.. all the senses were at a level untouched until than.. i was in total awe.

A day that i will remember until i'll die.

[debartzen]

¡Optimo!

[ChocloManx]

This is great, but I prefer Karajan's version

*hides*

[Ch1opin]

Fantastico

[abandeli]

Nós temos muita sorte em poder compartilhar essa arte suprema, graças à internet. Como Bach poderia imaginar, 300 anos atrás, que sua música seria tocada tão distante de seu lar, por tantas pessoas que ele jamais conheceria, tantos anos depois de sua vida? Lamento muito por aqueles que não conheceram sua música. Nós temos realmente muita sorte em estar aqui agora. É nosso dever ensinar isso às novas gerações.

[abandeli]

We are very lucky people, being able to share this kind of supreme art thanks to the internet. How could Bach imagine, 300 years ago, that his music would be played so far from his home, for so many people he would never meet, so many years after his life? I'm very very sorry for those who could not know his music. We're really very lucky in being here wright know. It's our duty to show it for the new generations...

[NYCBG]

You said it!

[alucardinodiconde]

Que bonito, mi parte favorita de la pasión según San Mateo, en estos momentos son las nueve de la mañana y es muy agradable despertar y escuchar esta bella música, esoty muy contento...

[Daneste613]

This is a great work. However, I think the name of the director is not correct, please help me to re-check. I think this is Stephen Cleobury, with the Cambridge Kings College Choir and the Brandeburg Consort. There is a DVD of this work, and I have seen it before. Thnx!!

[voltAge9]

Soo great!

[buenosdiers]

nice speed. and dynamically perfectly performed. good job.

[phaddadlaw]

i'd love to write something as magnificent as what i see and hear whenever i hear this piece, but i haven't even a minusha of the knowledge needed to speak intellegently on the matter.

So, i'll just say this; This piece sets the barometer for other works of art to measure up to, and simply put, it's AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!! Bravo! Bravo! w/an eternal encore!!!

[firebreathone]

Amazing final

[margaeire]

Es una obra maravillosa, desde luego que llega a tocar el alma de los mortales.Genial!!

[brucialaluna]

I was singing this Passion as a member of choir..........it was just....beautiful

[blurfan7]

yea, me 2

[gypsyola]

lucky..x

[numarcel]

diamonds aren't for everyone,i thank god ,for ths jewel.

[Debussy07]

I'm not a very religious man, but for some reason, I love religious music; there's something about it.

Bach's religious music is no exception either - it is absolutely amazing.

[OTHONIII]

Bach pasion is religious but no mystic or hysteric or apocalyptic and that's why this passion is perhaps the best expression of sentiment of jesus'passion; no sentimental, no etc... I think. voilà pourquoi cette musique est la plus belle expression de la religion. Et c'est un nietzschéen averti qui vous parle.

[Tharumus]

@Debussy07

I'm not religious either (if anything, I'm anti-religion) but I like to listen to Bach's religious music, he was truly a master of voice leading.

[henricamus]

c'est bien JS Bach le plus grand, surtout servi de la sorte

[ensku89]

How did he do this?? How is anyone able to compose such heavenly music? It hits you in your very heart! At least mine. I nearly cry every time.

I heard this life in Mainz. It was so amazing! Bachchor Mainz sang it perfectly... Three hours seemed so short!

[fadisaleh1]

I cannot get enough of this video ... So moving..

[Bradbury12345]

Esta canción la pasan en la película "Casino" cuando empieza la película y al final cuando cuenta la historia.

[guitoulamalice]

Ce n'est pas mauvais c'est horrible...

[spinningwheel]

Who is the conductor here? Goodman is principal violinist isn't he? who has the baton?

[csakizli]

unbelievable.

[susybish92]

A living proof that God exists. Thanks for the postage!

[Baroque1750]

So true! How can so many churches and sects argue amongst themselves when they all can fellowship in music for the Almighty God?

[marcheggianer]

ich don`t think so... creationist, oder was???

[schuster1717]

Yep! Simply awesome. I heard the Matthäus Passion live two years ago, and what you wrote is exactly what I thought afterwards! What He did for us is amazing - breathtaking.

And I´m gonna see the Matthäus Passion again tonight! Looking so forward to it!

[Lux019]

Wash, criss que c'Est mauvais comme interprétation.

[nakaza3421]

As we kneel before his grave , holy silence, silence holy could be the ruff trainslation. True the tempo is just right, and the place is rather fitting. Bach was one of a kind sadly, we thank him for all that he left us. Thank you Johann Sebastian Bach

[padre1917]

great to see a video of the performance, however the Chicago performance under Stolti just sounds more entrhalling.

[bambi1079]

greatest musical achievement ever ta

[gpwerner]

I want this played at my funeral. Though I prefer Leonard Bernstein's version (hard to find--NY Philharmonic, "In Deepest Grief," LP only!) Goodman acquits himself well here. I can honestly say that this piece of Bach's changed my life--for the better.

[kelsiejackson]

LB's version was released on two CDs awhile back and has his English translation on it ("In deepest grief")...I like his slower, statelier tempo.

[janmartinus]

c'est emouvante it's touching

na zo'n slot ga je bedroefd en voldaan huiswaarts

ein Schlusz:Voll Bewunderung und Trauer..

[nettlse]

This part of Matthaus Passion is used in Martin Scorsese film soundtrack «Casino» (1995).

[xxmriek]

I't a great song! I love it.. and I dont like the classic music.. but this one is great!

[silla20]

you are a good man bacholoji, thanx

[gbaune]

Please try the version of Karl Richter from the early eighties...

[BadtzMaruMx]

Precioso. Tenía tiempo buscando este video.

[mshayegh]

Thanks for posting

[brinmat]

Beautiful.

[Martinou1975]

Nice !!!

I prefer it when Soprano and Alto are children.

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

I prefer adults

[PooWL]

me too

[bluesfiddle]

Beautiful performance of one of the greatest human achievements -- Bach's St. Matthew Passion.

[zananasz]
