How could somebody dislike this video?! This is as sublime as it can get! I think this is the most intense version I ever heard - and ever going to hear, probably...

@DonySmurf2009 Hi, I'm sorry to tell you that Ms. Auger died of cancer in 1993, but continued to perform sublimely till near the end.

hervorragende und überragende Interpretation der zentralen Arie der Matthäuspassion.Sehr einfühlsam, sehr bewegend und sehr überzeugende Darstellung durch die unübertreffliche Arllen Auger, die hier wieder einmal eine Probe ihrer großartigen Gesangskunst gibt!

@DonySmurf2009 : Event? But Arleen Auger is not performing anymore, since she is "gone" now, you know?

This performance probably dates from March 31 1985 and it concerns a live recording from the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. The orchestra is the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. At that I was a member of the boys choir of St Bavo, Haarlem and sung the 'soprano in ripieno' part. I'm very happy to have witnessed this moment of transcendental music-making; I'll never forget this moment of intensity between Arleen Auger,Harnoncourt and last but not least Paul Verhey, at that time principal flutist.

Lucky you are and it is an honour to have your comment here. Thank you also for the name of the flutist too!
(It is a pity that later on, Harnoncourt did'nt want anymore of this version, artisticaly.)

I had the privilege of playing in the orchestra for a performance of the Matthew Passion with Ms. Auger singing. This aria never failed to bring tears to my eyes. Her voice was directly connected to her soul.
