Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750):
BEREITET DIE WEGE, BEREITET DIE BAHN (BWV 132)
In this wonderful aria, the soprano has a tough task, preparing the way for the Lord. First 60 and then 84 continuous semiquavers lead on to five further sustained beats. The challenges extend also to the soprano's duet partner: the oboe. This score is written by Bach himself. The cantata had its first performance in Weimar on the Fourth Sunday in Advent (22 December 1715).
1. movement: Aria for soprano
Bereitet die Wege, bereitet die Bahn!
Bereitet die Wege
Und machet die Stege
Im Glauben und Leben
Dem Höchsten ganz eben,
Messias kömmt an!
(Salomo Franck, 1715)
Make ready the pathways, make ready the road!
Make ready the pathways
And make ev'ry byway
In faith and in living
Now smooth for the Highest,
Messiah shall come!
Brigitte Geller (soprano)
The Monteverdi Choir
The English Baroque Soloists
Conducted by John Eliot Gardiner
Live recording from Michaeliskirche, Lüneburg, 10 December 2000
I was present myself, along with my brother, at this great concert! I also remember the nice Christmas market in Lüneburg, with great food and drink (Glühwein!).
