Bach: Cantata BWV 54, II-III Rezitativ&Arie - Andreas Scholl

J.S. Bach: Cantata BWV 54, II-III Rezitativ&Arie


II. Rezitativ:

Die Art verruchter Sünden
Ist zwar von außen wunderschön;
Allein man muss
Hernach mit Kummer und Verdruss
Viel Ungemach empfinden.
Von außen ist sie Gold;
Doch, will man weiter gehn,
So zeigt sich nur ein leerer Schatten
Und übertünchtes Grab.
Sie ist den Sodomsäpfeln gleich,
Und die sich mit derselben gatten,
Gelangen nicht in Gottes Reich.
Sie ist als wie ein scharfes Schwert,
Das uns durch Leib und Seele fährt.

III: Arie:

Wer Sünde tut, der ist vom Teufel,
Denn dieser hat sie aufgebracht.

Doch wenn man ihren schnöden Banden
Mit rechter Andacht widerstanden,
Hat sie sich gleich davongemacht.

Translation:

II. 2. Recit.

The shape of vile transgression
In sooth is outward wondrous fair;
But yet one must
Receive with sorrow and dismay
Much toil and woe thereafter.
The outside is pure gold,
But, should one look within,
Appears nought but an empty shadow
And whited sepulcher.
It is the Sodom's apple like,
And those who are with it united
Shall never reach God's heav'nly realm.
It is just like a sharpened sword
Which doth our soul and body pierce.

III. Aria

Who commits sin is of the devil,
For he it was who brought it forth.
But if one gainst its haughty fetters
With true devotion stand steadfastly,
Shall it at once from here take flight.

Oh no, you did what I feared most, you only reproduced the voice part for the aria even though the interest is the fugue it forms with the string parts, back to the camera to get the other parts, and better yet an open score!

@bruce122046 See my other reply to your sımılar post. It is simply not feasible!

[firebreathone]

Btw; It is much better than Glenn Gould's version!

[civileso]

I agree.. Scholl has all it takes to sing Bach..

[shazzer1976]

I love those big deep notes! Rich!

[urbanelf]

I love the decending chromatic passages... feels like I'm being dragged into Hell!

[vinciano]

@firebreathone in another world, maybe

[VolkColopatrion]

@civileso and let me guess, you're not at liberty to show us the sheet music either?

[FriendlyCroock]

@firebreathone

i prefer the Glenn Gould one

@bruce122046 Back to your channel to upload good videos like these! Oh wait... Wait I feared the most... You have none.

@omoshiroidayo it's a man. I absolutely love countertenors, check out Mera Yoshikazu and Justin Hawkins too.

@b0ttomzone You won't find many Phrygian cadences in the Baroque outside of Bach. He was the Stravinsky of his time.

[starbreez3]

@PointyTail I thought someone who listens to Bach had a superior mind.
