Most extraordinarily moving music that I have heard ... the baritone soloist is an absolute joy to listen to ... superb artistry on all accounts, can't forget the flawless trumpet playing on a fiendishly difficult period instrument or the string players who play with utter attention to Maestro Gardiner and with absolute joy. They love this music and they have given us a beautiful gift in their playing.
Sir John elicit's some lovely work from the orchestra, a cracking trumpet and a bass with it all in hand. My one minor quibble is that his vocal mastery needs to look easier. He is by no means an ugly singer but head bobbing and a work out for the facial muscles are not a substitute for command & presence nor for the tenderness required in the mid-section. Very enjoyable, thank you so much for sharing with us.
gracias por subir esta maravillosa obra de arte y su mejor interpretacion en las manos de gardiner, y con la mejor calidad. no me canso de escucharla solo bach tiene ese toque que llega al alma

Achtest du der Erden Pracht! Der die ganze Welt erhält, Ihre Pracht und Zier erschaffen, Muss in harten Krippen schlafen

For those who, like me, want to follow the text in German while listening to this amazing performance:
Grosser Herr, o starker König,
Liebster Heiland, o wie wenig
Achtest du der Erden Pracht!
Der die ganze Welt erhält,
Ihre Pracht und Zier erschaffen,
Muss in harten Krippen schlafen.
Grosser Herr, o starker König,
Liebster Heiland, o wie wenig
Achtest du der Erden Pracht!
