Aria (soprano) - 'Tief gebuckt und voller Reue'

Tief gebückt und voller Reue
Lieg ich, liebster Gott, vor dir.
Ich bekenne meine Schuld,
Aber habe doch Geduld,
Habe doch Geduld mit mir!

Deeply bowed and filled with remorse
I lie, dearest God, before Thee.
I acknowledge my guilt,
But have patience,
Have patience, I beg, with me.

Sir John Eliot Gardiner conducting the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists

Magdalena Kožená - mezzo soprano

  • Knowing well the CD of this performance, I can tell you Flash format in YouTube literally leaves a lot to be desired. Still, stunning performance, thanks for the video.

  • @hhyten Ya, I've been meaning to re-upload this to take advantage of YouTube's recent higher quality.

  • Why would a more dramatic interpretation be desirable?

    This is not a drama. Not a 19th c. Italian opera.

    Not a musical like "Phantom of the Opera". It's not even a concert piece.

    This is a liturgical composition.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH.

    Seriously. I just can't get over how phenomenal this piece is.

  • @MrRinaldo1983 The aria is in C minor @A415

  • Please can I know the tonality??? Thank you very much!!!

  • Gorgeous singing and singer! I absolutely love this Cantata.

  • Pour moi c'est parfait , tout y est .Elle fait vivre Bach merveilleusement.....J'adore !

  • I lover the colour she gets in this piece. Beautiful. My only criticism is the breath in the middle of the long sustained "Reue" phrase, but otherwise faultless.

  • Effortless . . fantastic! To die for.

  • @wcbroccoli

    Why should it not be dramatic? As the text is. Does the church not desire dramatic emotional interpretations.. as is the bible itself full of drama, sentiments and emotion.

    And.. it does not at all sound like a 19th c. Italian opera.

  • exquisito performance fluidez absoluta bach
