II. Recitativo.

Gebenedeiter Mund!
Maria macht ihr Innerstes der Seelen
Durch Dank und Rühmen kund;
Sie fänget bei sich an,
Des Heilands Wunder zu erzählen,
Was er an ihr als seiner Magd getan.
O menschliches Geschlecht,
Des Satans und der Sünden Knecht,
Du bist befreit
Durch Christi tröstendes Erscheinen
Von dieser Last und Dienstbarkeit!
Jedoch dein Mund und dein verstockt Gemüte
Verschweigt, verleugnet solche Güte;
Doch wisse, dass dich nach der Schrift
Ein allzuscharfes Urteil trifft!



English:

O thou most blessed voice!
Now Mary makes her spirit's deepest feelings
Through thanks and praising known;
She undertakes alone
To tell the wonders of the Savior,
All he in her, his virgin maid, hath wrought.
O mortal race of men,
Of Satan and of sin the thrall,
Thou art set free
Through Christ's most comforting appearance
From all this weight and slavery!
But yet thy voice and thine own stubborn spirit
Grow still, denying all such kindness;
Remember that the Scripture saith
An awesome judgment shall thee strike!


Español:

Bendita boca!
María reveló la parte más íntima de su alma
por medio de agradecimientos y plegarias;
empezó por narrarse a sí misma
el milagro que el Salvador,
obró en ella, su sierva.
Oh, raza humana,
esclava de Satanás y del pecado,
te ha liberado
la consoladora aparición de Cristo
de esta carga y esta servidumbre!
Empero, tu boca y tu terco espíritu
rechazan, niegan tal bondad;
¡has de saber, pues, que según las escrituras
un juicio implacable te espera!

Qué textos, qué belleza.

[paquitolo]

Gracias! Si te gusta, apúntate al canal, tengo un montón más como éste.

[bigbono12]

Does anyone know if this concert is this available commercially as an audio CD?

[paquitolo]

Try in Amazon. I've seen at least a couple or three CD's containing this Cantata by Harnoncourt.

I had wrote to you the three references but it is not possible to show websites or email addresses in a commentary in Youtube. Sorry.

[bundleHastings]

What utterly divine music and singing.

Almost convinces me to be a Christian.

[paquitolo]

jaja... come on! It doesn't hurt! :)

[martigra1g]

My choir is performing this. I'm the tenor soloist and omg it's intense. This mans voice is truly amazing.

[tommieboy1657]

Great to see how passionate they all are! Bostridge is spitting out the 'trifft' :-)

[sjobergfam]

His singing is devine, almost awe-inspiring. The two ladies behind him after the 1:15 mark were in trance induced slumber from his scintillating singing.

[Spanglefeather]

All those other tenors are watching and saying, why isnt it me up there, instead of this guy? But he does have a special magic.

[Spanglefeather]

@paquitolo oh yes it does

[PABoi00]

I love watching Ian sing...He is so awesome to watch! Thanks for posting!

[hengsun2]

What a great singer 

[musiccritic1910]

The technique is good but the performer has little taste.

[teunverstraaten]

@paquitolo it does though
