Bach - Matthaeus Passion - 35-36-37-38

[zrshwe]

Aria - Tenor

Geduld!

Wenn mich falsche Zungen stechen.

Leid ich wider meine Schuld

Schimpf und Spott,

Ei, so mag der liebe Gott

Meines Herzens Unschuld rächen.

[aram01201]

Ik vind deze snelle versie wel goed, alleen soms walst hij een klein beetje over de noten heen zoals bij 1:01, maar dat doet verder niet heel veel af aan dit geweldige nummer.

[Elried]

sounds pretty laboured to me.

[amballa]

his voice does not sing at all... is this Paul Agnew? Poor soul

[SubaybayUlat]

Kudos to the Basses! Well done Tenors!

[wannamme]

4:55 - 5:12 is the best ! we had it in school and it's such a great komposition.

[mikegv87]

¡Soberbio y Magnánimo!

[irfrapg]

Beautiful.....although a little too fast for the way I personally feel it, but still sublime!!!

[telephilia]

Slow it down!!!

[xp145]

At first, I thought "I like it fast," but then I realized that the German "Geduld" means patience, and so perhaps there might be something to say for a slower pace.

[dragmio]

@xp145 Yeah, but it' better like this. The cello is rushing and the vocal is calming it down. And succeeds at 0:49.

[TommasoCorvaja]

The betrayal of Petrus!!

[g4thz]

Oh my gosh the cellist is crazy!!!

I wish he'd accent some of the melismatic passages less. He sounds a little like he's shouting.

[almosten]

In her defense, I am sure she has discussed it with Koopman and they so decided on the interpretation. I like it.

[g4thz]

I was meaning the singer.

The cellist is fabo!

[Lesamisdeloeillet]

I never heard a tenor who could do this passage life without shouting or vibrato. It's very very hard to do, almost impossible to sing, I think this tenor is doing a pretty good job...

[pianomags]

@Lesamisdeloeillet yeahh Bach was a harsh man when it came to singers and their need to breathe :o

[LetItBe920]

I'm talking about Geduld!, by the way.

[LetItBe920]

There's too much flutter in his vibrato...that's when he's using it, anyway.

There is also absolutely no line in his voice. It's just jerky, bad singing...at least to me.

This aria is amazing, though.

[amacine]

OH.. thanks madeleyna!

[amacine]

maravilloso, cual es el nombre de este tenor??

[Madeleyna]

el nombre es Paul Agnew. He is from Scotland. Marvellous isn't he!!

[sylarna]

hold on, that's not a viola da gamba. whatever happened to it?

[solti]

I find a very beautiful chorale at 5:15.

[hoha77]

Ein grölender, hauchender und kaspernder Tenor.

[rambeiro]

El final, desde el minuto 7:41 es bellísimo. Que melisma tan impresionante. "Und ging heraus und

weinete bitterlich." " Y, saliendo afuera, lloró amargamente."

Realmente es un llanto.

[rambeiro]

El minuto 7:42 es bellísimo. "Und ging heraus und weinete bitterlich." "Y, saliendo

afuera, lloró amargamente." Realmente son lágrimas.

[gigie555]

This tenor has a wonderful technique.

[VinalaElensar]

Beautiful!

[friendlybarman]

Ich kenne dieses Menschen nicht!

[solti]

beautiful and wonderful
