J.S. Bach - Cantata 179 - V. Aria "Liebster Gott, erbarme dich"

Precioso...sin palabras

I just read this about the piece: "...although in A minor, it modulates to C minor. Not only is this jarring, it also puts the music in a harmonic region where the instruments simply cannot play in tune...the singer (a boy at the time), too, is asked to sing lower than support permits. The whole performance sounds loathsome and disgraceful(!)" Text: "My sins sicken me like pus in my bones; help me Jesus...for I am sinking in deepest slime." -Taruskin

Thank you counterpoint85! i love this aria...

Bin sprachlos.

Einfach WUNDERBARE INTERPRETATION !!

Danke.

Marcel Ponseele simply the best

Thanks so much for posting this wonderful Bach aria! Who was the oboe da caccia soloist? (By the way, aren't there supposed to be TWO caccia players? Or was that bassoonist playing the 2nd caccia part?)
