5. Aria (T)
Streams of salty tears are welling,
Floods are rushing ever forth.

Storm and waters overwhelm me,
And this sorrow-laden sea
Would my life and spirit weaken,
Mast and anchor are near broken,
Here I sink into the depths,
There peer in the jaws of hell.

  • Beautiful music, but I agree with some of you commentators here: Koopman could have picked a better soprano. Having said that - she is better in the second half of her performance than in the first.

  • I don't like her voice! Sounds like she is trembling ... no way, don't like it!

  • Imagine, once there was a time BEFORE Bach....

  • the soprano is pretty dreadful. what a pity.

  • God bless Bach.

  • Praise the genious BACH !!

  • This is my favorite. Heavenly.
