BWV 78, duet w/ Teresa Stich-Randall and D. Hermann

So did I. 9AM wake up call on Pacifica Radio!

The organ (and especially it's registration) is all wrong for this spritely and cheerful music... too lugbubrious. And the bass continuo is pretty heavy handed as well. Too bad.

[russedav5]

Words are wholly inadequate to describe this priceless jewel, which of course is true of Bach overall, but especially the sacred vocal works, truely absolutely timeless, even far more relevant and important to the Church and true art than when they were composed. Yet the opening work is equally important, providing the crucial context of Who this Glorious One they're in such a devoted hurry to follow IS (wir eilen mit empsigen Shritten), without which the duet's far less meaningful.

Eine feine Stimm-Mischung zwischen Sopran und Alt wie man sie selten in dieser Harmonie antrifft. Und trotz ihr Entstehung noch vor der authentischen Klangbewegung besitzt die Aufnahme viel Ausdruck und dramatische Kraft (nicht zuletzt durch die Orgelfarbe). Vielen Dank für die Kenntnisgabe dieses Dokuments. Prädikat: sehr hörenswert!

Superlative is the only word for this. Many thanks for having uploaded this music from heaven.

Of the vocal versions here on You Tube, this is the BEST one! My only complaint is the tubbiness of the orchestra sound, though they are great too! A lovely piece.

Love this song! Reminds me when I was 9 at my choir! Check us out! We are called les chanteurs du lycee we sing this song aswell!

[redbrian3655]

I had this recording as a kid.  Loved it then, and love it now. Thanks for the memories.

[nimrodJohn2009]

Bright and witty.I loved it.

[sruppent]

I remember listening to this for years before your program. Brings back a rush of memories! Thanks, Charles!

This was the sign-on music for KPFA RADIO in Berkeley from the mid-Fifties to the Seventies. The sign-on was shortened by cutting out the development section, so Pacifica listeners in Northern California will be startled to hear the entire piece. But there is no performance as thrilling as this one. Charles Amirkhanian, Music Director at KPFA 1969-1992.

Thank you for sharing this glorious recording - absolutely delightful. Beautiful singing, Miss S-R a delight (as usual) and v impressed by Miss H (lovely flexible chest voice without hooting) . Sheer joy.

How delightful to find this here! I discovered this while back in Chicago and fell in love with it and decided I had to learn it. I hope to sing it again, sometime soon.

[proftheol]

My introduction to this sublime cantata some thirty years ago was via this very recording. To hear it again is a true joy. Thank you.

[leitros]

Wonderful. Was this not originally a DGG recording?

[ozielich]

que plaisir ecouter cette selection de la cantate 78 de bach. Stich Randall... superbe! et Dagmar Herrman magnifique. Merci pour votre post!

[mmedefarge]

Thanks for uploading this & allowing us all to enjoy it.

[RIRRATTO]

Un grand classique sublime et inégalé La Stich-Randall au sommet et l'opulent Dagmar Hermann, malgré une prise de son ratée même pour l'époque
