EVANGELIST
...Da nun Jesus den Essig genommen hatte, sprach er:
JESUS
Es ist vollbracht.
ARIE (alt)
Es ist vollbracht,
o Trost vor die gekränkten Seelen,
die Trauernacht
läßt nun die letzte Stunde zählen,
der Held aus Juda siegt mit Macht
und schließt den Kampf.
es ist vollbracht.

As Panito puts it in an interview:"If I had to describe my life as a boy alto of the TK (Tölzer Knabenchor), I would choose this aria. It was definitely the climax of my career. One of only a handful of occasions I can recall, where everything felt right, with my performance, the other musicians and the reaction from the audience."

This is a fantastic video! Thanks...

brilliant voice from Kurt Equiluz, the boy is good but has to work to get the brilliance in the future.....good sound of the viol....

I want to hear more of Robert Holl.

[TheSmoshmy]

This whole clip radiates beauty.From the great dignity of Harnencourt's conducting, to the handsome gamba player, his even more handsome playing, as for the boy....I sobbed at the divinity of it all.The setting.Those beautiful young choiresters.The whole atmosphere pullulating with beauty and divinity.What an antidote to the ugliness of the world as it is with nothing but folly all around.

Jesus! Der Junge ist außergewöhnlich!

El placer que se siente al escuchar a este niño, especialmente, cantar es enorme y llega profundamente su voz hermosa y casi perfecta. Lo mismo sucede con los demás. Ver además la seriedad y disciplina de todos es un espectáculo refrescante y que conmueve.

Gracias bran 4805.

@bonazeta - quella di Scholl è l'unica esecuzione disponibile che supera quella di Panito Iconomou ma Scholl ha altri mezzi vocali. Notavo comunque che anche lui è riuscito ad avere una certa freschezza solo nelle esecuzioni giovanili. Già nelle esibizioni con Koopman la voce non era più così pulita.
