"Ich habe genug" BWV 82_Quasthoff,Thomas_Audio

[maxtanz]

grandissimo Mayer

[taviona]

Beautiful piece. I think King Crimson's "Starless" is inspired by this. The way the oboe accompanies the vocal part here is very similar to how the saxophone is treated in "Starless". I think the mood is quite similar as well.

Que maravilhosa música! parabens pela postagem!

[amadeuswebern]

Sublime.

[sanjosemike]

I'm a militant atheist, but Quasthoff causes me to have doubts. It's not fair.

[imyoursuperior2]

@sanjosemike Bach's pretty good too from what I hear...

[witness124]

@sanjosemike Know what you mean.

Merveilleux Monsieur Quasthoff !!!

Compliments et merci pour le post

[Jack45OG]

He's fabulous, especially in person. What a blessing this guy is. He appears somewhat irregularly but not infrequently in NY and I try not to miss a chance to hear his interpretations. He's even been at the Metropolitan Opera, if memory serve.

[theoklas]

... So beautiful

[singingisall]

Try Matthias Goerne .... he is so much better with his soft voice....

[fwitvliet41245]

@apeirsman kwallenkop? Wat een schandelijk reactie

[FatherWarhol]

quasthoff is qaudrospazzed

[PiscatorMedia]

Forever in love with you Tommi.

[Mrshmigel]

божественно

[BesACB]

Wonderful hobo!

[frayedtip]

Nice. Though for me, the performance I like the best is with Marc Lifschey on oboe. Also,for me the tempo is a little too fast.

[brisw28]

Agreed.

[charlotteplanchou]

Yes Just Listen...

And If you can listen also to MATTHIAS GOERNE (Ich habe genug),and enjoy...

[NihilNominis]

I keep listening to this, over and over again. This brief passage of German has changed my life.

[oboist2]

Great rendition, I have always admired both soloists immensely. Dont get into arguements,  just listen, admire and learn. Too many bloody egos on You-tube.

[jobble2]

lol, how does being a singer make him a genius?

[Ferdinand300]

Was ist das hier für ein dummes Gerede!!!!

Ich höre überhaupt nicht das Herr Quasthoff Behindert ist............

Es spielt keine Rolle ob ein Konzert oder Oratorium Sänger eine körperliche Behinderung hat oder nicht!!!!!

Wichtig ist wie Er oder Sie singt und intepretiert.

Wenn man seine Behinderung nicht sehen kann, dann schliesse die Augen und höre nur zu, und erkenne das hier eine sehr gute Sänger singt.

[Generalbum]

Pretty boring and Quasthoff doesn't help much. I don't see any reason to cry or is it because he is German and sings Bach ?

Compare with Hampson, Ludovic Tézier, Leo Nucci, u.a.

[jhvorotin]

haha! Bach is boring? He is a musical genius who could grasp the human soul. This piece involves many instruments and it's wonderful to hear them together.

This is a sacred piece not opera. Hampson Tézier and Nucci are all opera singers and only sing secular songs sometimes.

[Generalbum]

Geschmacksache ! Gott sei dank gibt s Masterpieces by Verdi, Mozart, Berlioz, Rossini, die universal sind und überall geliebt.

[ilbacioditosca]

If you want to choose a great version of this aria than Quasthoff, choose Hans Hotter, Dieskau.

YOU don´t like the version ok, but to say that this version is wrong proves YOU are wrong.

[Generalbum]

Hey Ilbacioditosca, I haven't said this version is wrong or right. I just want to pinpoint the fact that being disabled helps getting the support from the media (same thing for the blind Italian tenor), and being German helps being described as a pure genius (by the Germans).

[ilbacioditosca]

Quasthoff is supernormal voice, G1 to C5, inside of a to the Theater Colon in Buenos Aires with a superb acustic he sounded a big voice, anyway I heard him life in other rooms in the US and the effect is not the same. I am not German and I believe like Baremboim or Abbado he is a genius.

[Valentin0003]

Please give the articles were Abado and Baremboim speak about genius.....

[chupszg]

That's it...

[KorneliaW]

...meisterhaft!!!...

[LeMortso]

Man I hate opera but love Thomas! He could move a stone with that voice. * Grins *

[Valentin0003]

Not bad but I do prefer the Italians (even Bocelli), they have more "flow", more instinct for singing...

[jhvorotin]

Quastfoff's rendition is full of emotions. It comes from the depth of his soul. His own flow is magical! His timbre is velvet and his vibrato is subtle.

[Generalbum]

That s perfectly right, guy. Quasthoff made a career mostly because he is disabled and the German medien has been supporting him like crazy because he is German, as usual...

[jhvorotin]

In der Tat, Gott sei dank.

Quasthoff was refused a place at the Conservatory of Hannover BECAUSE he was disabled. and yes, every country does that. Take Alagna in France which worships him.

[Generalbum]

Roberto Alagna is not really french, I suppose, lives in London has a romanian wife. The music played in France or in the UK is not only coming from their national repertoire. Compare the programms from these two countries with those from Germany and you understand what means "open-minded".

[guimaul69]

I think Quasthof MAKES a carrer because he has a wonderful voice, which permits him to sing everything he wants to, and that extraordinary good... if you din't like the way he sings, I could understand, that's Geschmacksache, but writing that his carrer is due to his disability, it's not fare and not responsible...

i don't like 100% of the things Quasthoff has sung but i admire the voice, his incredible technique and the music he puts in everything he makes from bach to jazzy thingies...

[ilbacioditosca]

I hope the media can find more disable people making music like Quasthoff. We need them.

[atsaka]

I hope the media can find anyone making music like Quasthoff!

[selloutasaurus]

gorgeous vocal & oboe performances!

[kristoppo]

Peter Kooy also is good

[linow666]

I´m crying. Quastoff is wonderful.

[santasgold]

Fully agree with linow666.......such sensitivity and artistry.....Papa Bach would thoroughly approve.

[podkivanok]

Great! This is the only version that can approach to that of Hans Hotter.

[johan9090]

can't get enough of this

[dunkenpoet]

This music is acctually on our crasy time!!!It must remember about our mission in world

[RichardJonsson]

Matthias Goerne (w. Albrecht Mayer, SRSO) actually does it a bit better, I think...

[BMX90]

Excellent interpretation!! Always liked this version.

[Delmond1988]

ma cantate préferée ...

[patriciocueto]

Thomas Quasthoff...!!!

[Squirrel0906]

Wonderful, touching, heavenly...Thank you, Thomas Quasthoff!

[alexandrevlad37]

Thank you Thomas Quasthoff .....

[marindrinov]

Bravo Albrecht Mayer!

[Dackelfreundin]

You´re so right! I hope that I can see him in December playing Bach, Telemann and Handel.

[marindrinov]

Where will that be?

[Dackelfreundin]

FRANKFURT( Germany) 4.12.2007  "Alte Oper"

[marindrinov]

Too far from me...

Have you heard him live before?

[Dackelfreundin]

not at all!

[dondonoboe1]

is he gay?

[chroboe]

albrecht? no he is not.

[marindrinov]

yes this is A.Mayer

[chroboe]

Oh I know, I was replying to the person asking if he was gay.

[marindrinov]

Ok sorry

[Skygrapped]

you are!
