Bach - Matthaus Passion - 13. Aria - Ich will dir mein Herze

[mediaevalguitartab]

This is a lovely performance. I liked this aria so much I arranged it for ukulele. Hopefully that does not count as an insult. The arrangement works well on guitar too.

[PEPEDEBARRO]

Those oboes... God (and Bach) be praised!

[starbreez3]

She's a master, she makes it looks easy. I'm jealous!

[loco120620]

Halleluja!

[tess5340]

I've sung this and my god her breath control on some of the passages is pretty astounding

[MrTamzzin]

Glorious as always Ms K, x

[musagloria]

estoy estudiando esta maravillosa aria, pero alguien podria escribir foneticamente como se pronuncia correctamente " senke dich".?

GRACIAS

[marascar]

Es una maravillosa música! En alemán las "s" al principio de palabra y seguidas de vocal (como este caso) son zumbadas, o suaves como en el italiano. De las dos vocales "e" la primera debe ser más larga y semejante a una "i" aunque no tan incisiva, la segunda es cerrada casi como en francés. El fonema "ch" es como una jota, pero en este caso por estar precedida por una "i" se pronuncia más adelante que en castellano, como dirías "hijito", si fueras chilena. Espero que te sirva!!

[marascar]

Disculpas, estuve chequeando... lo de las "e" no es como lo dije antes. La primera es abierta y la segunda cerrada, por ser desacentuada. En fonética sería zεŋkə dIç...al menos así figura en mi diccionario! Saludos

[musagloria]

gracias marascar, sos una persona muy generosa.

[paulacre]

Who cares about her pronunciation? I love the music.

[matt0098]

nope - she's right: in English it would sound like Sen-KA.

[Fernando8861]

Beautiful.

[Arch5280]

When she pronounces "Senke dich"she purses her lips as if to do an umlaut; is this what a german speaker would normally do? senkoor dich?

At any rate, we must become comfortable with all sorts of people singing all sorts of languages; the price we pay for universality is a little clumsiness. I hear Marjana Lipovsek singing Messiah in English, and I say, good for her.

[amabeline]

Nein, dass ist nicht normal.Sie ist nicht "native speaker" in Deutsch.

[cgsomlo]

you could be a little more kind .... a Brazilian like me would never be so presumptuous like you.

[3NUNS]

@amabeline : Wir sind fur Momente der Einsicht in das Geheimnis der Einheit fahig, unsere Liebesfahigkeit aber beruht auf unserer Fahigkeit zu werten, subjectiv zu werten, ohne sie gibt weder Kunst noch Liebe.

[poleame]

@3NUNS Eine Welt ohne Liebe und Kunst. Das möchten wir aber nicht.

[risris1]

i'm sure i'll get some thumbs down for this, but i have to say it- frizzy.

[merseybeat1963]

@risris1 Frizzy and beautifull

[KPassagier]

Emma Kirkby ist die beste Barock-Interpretin aller Zeiten. Diese glasklare Stimme, ihr reiner Gesang, schnörkellos... Sie beschämt alle die nach ihr kommen. DAS ist eine Sängerin. Nicht jemand wie Netrebko! Die kann nichts gegen Emma Kirkby!

[madziua90]

She's so good! I song this aria and this is one of the most beautiful renditions of this aria, I think. perfect

[alems1966]

and J.S.B is perfect!

[lalagonegaga]

Should I comment at all? Is there a point? Can words actaully express how divine she is? I don't think so. I will only say this - SHE IS PERFECT!

[firebreathone]

amazing

[rarems]

Dame Kirkby, I love your performances.

[classicalman114]

Nice!

[tealsinging]

Emma kirkby is truly the master of the baroque coloratura!

[owzla]

Emma's voice isn't very suitable for the German language. I prefer to hear her singing in Italian, English and Latin

[dailung67]

You are allowed your opinions. But,as far as Emma Kirkby's voice being unsuitable for the German language is concerned, your comment is sheer rubbish! Her German is correct, clear and well articulated. What else do you want?

[owzla]

I don't agree your opinion. Emma's voice is too thin to articulate the German language in a convincing manner. But I adore her English permances.

[dailung67]

You are also allowed your opinion. Emma Kirkby is judged by experts as being the foremost interpretor of Baroque vocal music - in any langugae. Do you sing? Or do you know anything at all about singing?

[tealsinging]

I agree with dailung. Emma Kirkby is the exact type of voice Bach envisioned to sing this music. Bach wrote specifically for this voice type; obviously, they sing in German fine.

[rarems]

owzla, are you German?

Saying that someone's voice "isn't very suitabe for the German language" or any other language is either prejudice or stupidity.

[owzla]

@rarems

I'm Dutch. Some voices don't match with particular languages.

[3NUNS]

@owzla : And the Dutch are so straightforward about such truths.

[MyrtleP]

This is an interesting concept. I agree that she does embody the typical sound associated with Romance languages. Her German pronunciation is good, but (if I'm understanding you correctly) this is less about diction and more about the timbre and resonance common to what would be considered the "German sound." Emma tends toward the bel canto style instead.

My question is, how does one do justice to Baroque music and produce a more German sound? I don't have the answer.

[rjmbbassett]

@owzla Sorry, aber das ist wirklich Unfug. Ihr Deutsch ist perfekt wie ihre Intonation und ihre Musikalität ist wunderbar.

[adriacub]

Por favor vuelvan a poner la grabacion de Aus Liebe por Emma

[whizkidforte]

This vid is really worth watching! Hooray for Dame Emma Kirkby!!!

[porfyr]

Easy, wonderful, perfect = Emma Kirkby

[nessie96]

Lovely stuff by Emma Kirby...one of the best!!!

[GMPB]

Love this aria

[xgianpatrick]

thank you

[CymruGyrl]

Of course, one of the best-known and respected early music sopranos in the world! As usual, a performance that cannot be surpassed.

[Asterionu]

no se podía esperar menos :D

[paquitolo]

Nuevamente espléndida Emma Kirkby.
