Johann Sebastian Bach - Er ist auf Erden kommen arm - Christmas oratorio BWV 248
Conductor : René Jacobs
Soprano : Dorothea Röschmann

Chorale

Poor he came into the world,
That he might take pity on us,
To make us rich in Heaven,
And equal even to his beloved angels.

Recitative

Who will surpass the love
That the Saviour has for us?
Yea, who can ever understand
How mankind's affliction moves him?
The Almighty's son comes into the world
For its Salvation well pleases him.
So he himself will be born as man.

  • Thanks for the information! I will have a look on it.

  • You know what? I forgot to tell you,( maybe you already know): there is a Channel of a guy called Hexameron who dedicates himself to upload videos of ignored piano composers like Roslavets, Feinberg, Mosolov, etc. ... perhaps you will find it interesting.

    I listened to Albright several times, but here on Youtube there is few videos about him.

    See You

  • The last days I was listening to William Albright. As you can see on youtube, this composer of the 20th century is almost unknown, so expect to see some videos of him in the next days. He plays piano, maybe you will like it. Thank you again to support me.

  • Thank you very much, henseltetude. This is really a great compliment. I admire the channel of Oedipus Coloneus a lot, armycasa as well, but there are not enough playlists to know a composer or a period better. That's why I try to group all the videos of one composer into playlists, so that the users may get a complete impression of him. My own videos are grouped once again in periods. My next videos will probably be about Bach, not Bruckner. I am only working on the playlist "Bruckner".

  • Now that you mention it ... I ignored the logic of your channel until this moment... I listened to Albéniz, Albretchsberger, Alfonso El sabio ... and all their names begin with the letter A. .. Small detail that I had not in mind. I had watched several videos from Oedipus Colonus. Anyway your channel is better.Hopefully, I am sure you will upload interesting and ignored Bruckner´s works ( Because the only thing I know of him are his Sinphonies).Keep working in your proyect, I support you.

  • Well, my dear friend henseltetude, this is only the beginning. I finished uploading the missing music of the composers beginning with A. Now, it's B. So, you can imagine what will come. After I will try to upload always the best versions. Some videos of Bach sound old and bad and need some improvement. Fortunately we have great channels like OEDIPUS COLONEUS or ARMYCASA. If you are looking for unknown composers check these or my playlists. Got all composers with A, now I am working on Bruckner.

  • You are uploading a lot of great videos... where do you get all that music?
