Bach - St John Passion - Herr, unser Herrscher

[DamaMedievale]

¡Wow! ¡Impactante! ¡Genial!

[unicycler89]

Like if Eric Whitacre sent you here!!

[autumnsoliloquy]

Even in the deepest HUMBLENESS/LOWLINESS,

Are glorified.

this was the first Passion I was paid to sing. Though due to health my voice is not what it was I will never forget this music and though it is too  high for me now I will always cherish this movement

I think I like what Stephen Cleobury did with the King's Choir and the Brandenburg Consort a little more than J.E. Gardiner. Unfortunately, the version available on youtube is heavily compressed. The boy choir of course being a little more true to history. Helmut Rilling's version is also wonderful, especially in regards to instrumentation. Look up this title up to find both: J. S. Bach (1685-1750) - Johannes Passion (BWV 245) - I. Chorus: "Herr, unser Herscher"

[Liantotjahjoputro]

Bach really great and misterious......

[euspbadoggy]

Is this the JE Gardener version?

[stigekalder]

@euspbadoggy

Yes this is Gardiner and Monteverdi Choir, recorded in 1986 (Archiv).

[barrocke]

With your videos, you gave a lot of beautiful moments to all Bach's lovers. Thanks stigekalder !!!

[eliyaguy]

a good candidate for the competition on the title: the best piece ever... luckily we dont have to choose, just a way of speech, of course.

Herr, unser Herrscher, dessen Ruhm

In allen Landen herrlich ist!

Zeig uns durch deine Passion,

Dass du, der wahre Gottessohn,

Zu aller Zeit,

Auch in der größten Niedrigkeit,

Verherrlicht worden bist!

¡Grandíoso y Maravilloso!

Bach's handwriting is incredibly clear. I've performed this and can sing along easily.

[b0ttomzone]

I like Bach's handwriting. It's graceful and has visual appeal, but is still very clear and legible.

[VolkColopatrion]

@b0ttomzone this is the handwriting of Johann Nathaneal Bammler

[stigekalder]

@VolkColopatrion

No, the first part of the manuscript is actually by Bach himself (until the midst of 10th movement). The remaining part is by Bammler.

[VolkColopatrion]

@stigekalder oh, neeto

[WontPlayWithOthers]

Brilliant, inspiring, sublime, much overlooked gem of JSB

[WontPlayWithOthers]

Brilliant, inspiring, sublime

[rvaughanwilliams1988]

counterpoint and emotion are the same thing

[sam0xin]

Thank you stigekalder for this TIMELESS miracle & accurate description ! & Sir J.E. Gardiner's version ( as usual...) genuine as sunlight...His interpretations are done SO CLEARLY , that it seems to me I'm hearing Bach through some kind of audible "X Ray..." one word - GENIUS !

[harmathdenes]

Thank you very much! It means a lot to see Bach's handwriting during an authentic performance!

[stigekalder]

@smakant71

The Bach score is an original manuscript which a German library has scanned and made available

[FabioCostaMusic]

Stiegekalder, that is gorgeous, to see the handwriting of the old Bach like this is just extraordinary! I missed looking at the oboe parts though! Thank you!

[Tsotne16]

The best performance ever! This and Philippe Herreweghe... Don't even know which one is better

[paradoxicus]

Thanks,@stigekalder.

Great music.
