"Können Tränen meiner Wangen" from Johann Sebastian Bach's Matthäuspassion.

----------------------------------------
Können Tränen meiner Wangen
Nichts erlangen,
O, so nehmt mein Herz hinein!

Aber laßt es bei den Fluten,
Wenn die Wunden milde Bluten,
Auch die Opferschale sein!
----------------------------------------

Conducted by Ton Koopman.

Bach's music is wonderful, perfect and in the hands of Ton Koopman beyond the sublime

[DeHeld8]

No man, this swings and rocks. makes you wana move your feet! :)

[sabelabohdan]

jest to wielka muzyka, Koopman z amsterdamską barokową orkiestrą wydobyli z niej chyba wszystko. Serdeczne dzięki im za To.

A total musical misunderstanding of the way to communicate the TEXT! A caricature. Fit for ballroom dancing! What is the man thinking of? The singer is pressed to the extreme. No phrasing and a typical original instrument fantasy. A totally unstaisfying piece of persoal promotion regardless of the price the music and text must pay. A travesty!!

[whomakemefeel]

It's bit fast!

[starbreez3]

@DeHeld8 Haha, it's what Gardiner said, that Bach's music can't be performed too serious or too rigid, you know? Or it'll lose it's essence.

[starbreez3]

@DeHeld8 And I'm laughing omg.

[starbreez3]

@DeHeld8 Lol, you crazy.

[GAYMDKLNL]

indeed to fast in my opinion... a bit slower is doing the scene more right.

@DeHeld8 the music is so perfect, i dont think the tempo matters. but you are right, there are no rules, i like the swing, but i understand the slow versions too. i must admit though, the ending of this version is perfect. i play violin and piano and i think Bach requires the performer to look at the music and figure out what the speed is. i just think the tempo is contained in the music as a sort of puzzle.
