Bach: Cantata BWV 54, II-III Rezitativ&Arie - Andreas Scholl

[bruce122046]

Oh no, you did what I feared most, you only reproduced the voice part for the aria even though the interest is the fugue it forms with the string parts, back to the camera to get the other parts, and better yet an open score!

@bruce122046 See my other reply to your sımılar post. It is simply not feasible!

[VolkColopatrion]

@civileso and let me guess, you're not at liberty to show us the sheet music either?

@bruce122046 Back to your channel to upload good videos like these! Oh wait... Wait I feared the most... You have none.

Notice the word painting on "Gottes Reich" at around 0:53. Was it common to associate God and Heaven with phrygian cadences?

[Timrath]

@b0ttomzone I don't see any connection. The phrygian cadence is usually associated with question marks, and with expressions of uncertainty. I would say that in this particular passage, it has no special significance; it's just another form of half cadence.

[b0ttomzone]

@Timrath Well the word painting in the recitative is pretty obvious. Every cadence seems to be associated with something. Maybe the phrygian cadence seriously questions (doubts) the sinner's entry into Heaven.

[CountertenorJ]

@b0ttomzone You won't find many Phrygian cadences in the Baroque outside of Bach. He was the Stravinsky of his time.

is it a man singing pr a woman? i guess the second but really?

[chan7781a]

@omoshiroidayo it's a man. I absolutely love countertenors, check out Mera Yoshikazu and Justin Hawkins too.

Yet again, Bach baffles me!

Who plays the Gamba on this recording?

[KeyPressed]

Il Recitativo è quasi commovente...l'aria poi l'adoro!

2500 views. And 1200 of those is probably me! Wake up, you rap listening, Britney loving cretins with the IQ of Planck's Constant! LOL

[starbreez3]

@PointyTail I thought someone who listens to Bach had a superior mind.

I love the decending chromatic passages... feels like I'm being dragged into Hell!

[shazzer1976]

I love those big deep notes! Rich!

[firebreathone]

Btw; It is much better than Glenn Gould's version!

[civileso]

I agree.. Scholl has all it takes to sing Bach..

[wagneraster]

Personally, I prefer Glenn Gould's version. I think the tempo is too fast to deliver all the richness and deepness of Bach's music. Especially in the recitative part - I loved how well Gould used the continuo to illustrate the "sharpened sword that pierces our body", and the major chord of "pure gold". I think they did that part not so well in this version, but that's only my opinion, I realise that's a matter of taste.

[RedWasabii]

@firebreathone Glenn Gould's version is horrible.

[FriendlyCroock]

@firebreathone

i prefer the Glenn Gould one

[vinciano]

@firebreathone in another world, maybe
