01. Chorus I & II, Chorale (S)

Kommt, ihr Töchter, helft mir klagen,
Sehet - Wen? - den Bräutigam,
Seht ihn - Wie? - als wie ein Lamm!

O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig
Am Stamm des Kreuzes geschlachtet,

Sehet, - Was? - seht die Geduld,

Allzeit erfunden geduldig,
Wiewohl du warest verachtet.

Seht - Wohin? - auf unsre Schuld;

All Sünd hast du getragen,
Sonst müßten wir verzagen.

Sehet ihn aus Lieb und Huld
Holz zum Kreuze selber tragen!

Erbarm dich unser, o Jesu !


Peter Schreier, Evangelist
Ernst Gerold Schramm, Jesus
Siegmund Nimsgern, Judas & Pilatus
Helen Donath, soprano
Julia Hamari, alto
Horst R. Laubenthal, tenor
Walter Berry, bass

  • SCROLL UP. YOU FOOL, YOU R MISSING IT!!

  • Amazing recording, with typical 70 s scene decoration, and clothes, hairstyles.Think that many of them are no longer in this world and their children and grandchildren could be watching this video and recognizing their relatives in this masterpiece. I look at their faces, their hands, they are so inmersed in Bach, thanks to their director. The sound Richter acomplished is out of this world. Thanks !!!!!!

  • Not too slow at all ! It's the right tempo ! Noble and amazing interpretation.

  • Germany forever!!!!

  • its all about your own taste.Consider this man is one of the greatest Bach organists who spent a life listening to and playing the masters music.Personally I think its awesome and it resonates in my mind for days after I hear it.

  • i agree

    to slow 

  • THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH ME.

  • Reminds me of Exposed, the film 1983.

    Also the thought, "we know you are at have going to hell, but could you please lessen the sin."

  • @golab17

    I'm talking about this particular version. Search for Herreweghe's matthaus, much better imo(!)

  • @janjohandealgenman

    Play a video game or watch a few superbowl commercials...you'll be much more comfortable

  • remarquable interpretation , certainement pas trop lente comme le disent certains mais habitee , majestueuse , intemporelle , sans les ridicules contorsions (pseudo musicologiques ) de divers interpretes actuels. merci pour cet extrait

  • don't like this, to slow for my taste
