I'm slowly dying of ALS / MND and this cantata is wonderful if you follow the text too. Be faithful, all pain will yet be only a little thing. After the rain blessing blossoms, all storms pass away. Be faithful, be faithful!... With the Christ trumpet counterpoint
thank you Alex for reading and giving me your thoughts. It's an interesting piece of advice., to embrace a realistic present moment experience... It reminds me of Pluto's Phaedo, which recounts Socrates last hours alive, he's saying why he embraces death because he expects his soul to be liberated but then he sees some of his followers whispering, sceptics who don't want to disillusion the old boy! But Socrates urges them to speak up because he says he doesn't want comfort, only truth. So he embraced reality, but he's he'd probably say there's more to truth than the present moment, even if fidelity to the present moment is indispensable. After all your sense of who you are depends on remembering past moments and holding to some sense of continuity or meaning, surely? I think I am faithful to the present moment, you have to be when suffering otherwise it's intolerable. Is it of no sense? It is to me, and there's much that doesn't make sense to me. But I don't find awareness of the present moment incompatible with faith, quite the opposite, in fact the faith seems to broaden the width and depth of present experience I can tolerate, it makes sense of apparently mutually exclusive types of experience like joy and pain, occurring at the same time. Anyway once again thank you for your interesting comment
Bach faced death every day. His parents and his wife died long before their time was due. And ten of his children. Bach was more intimately acquainted with death than any other of the great composers. In my view it is the profundity of his suffering and grief that transforms his music from the beautiful to the transcendental.
Churches should play compositions like this, not the commercial musics of nowadays. Those have not poetry, have not the voice of Angels and touch of the Holy.
Yes and no, times have changed. I am with you on the page that this is truly magnificent but modern church music has its rights as well. It is a matter of finding a good blend.
This chorus came first, then Bach reused it for his Crucifixus. Much of the material in his Mass in B Minor comes from earlier cantatas, but substantially revised.
Si deve parlare di QUESTO,? Si deve commentare? Noi poveri zero,noi che il MESSAGGERO conosce? Il suono del MESSAGGERO di EISENACH non è x noi, non viene da qui
+Alex Reik please have respect... I think it's not a good thing to be so disparagingly about both this person, and old men. But I agree with you that this is such a beautifull recording. I think one voice per part gives it a higher virtuosity and more emotion.
Yes, there is no explanation for his consistent miraculous transcendence of what we know in 'ordinary' music' - except that he had some kind of connection to a higher state of intelligence and beauty. We listen in awe - confounded by this otherworldly ability. His music is from some point in the future when humanity has reached this higher place.
Soprano sounds like voice of a boy. I am not sure if it is grown woman singing soprano or a boy. Position of the tone is good. Intonation is good, dynamic is also good. Different colors, volume of the voices is rich.
Timeless music. In another 500 years we will still listen. If humanity still exists...

Be faithful, all pain
will yet be only a little thing.
After the rain
blessing blossoms,
all storms pass away.
Be faithful, be faithful!... With the Christ trumpet counterpoint
hughes give up on this religious nonsense before you pass away, and embrace a more realistic present moment awareness

Beautiful and dignified John. Thus you shame the callous Mr Reik.
There are few people who can approach death, as you do, with this kind of equanimity and thoughtfulness - and faith. It is inspirational.

What am I hearing right now? That's marvelous, i can't even put into words how much a love J.S Bach music.
Bach is amazing in a different way depending on ur emotional state which to me is truly mind blowing
6:00 what a beauty.
La música de Bach es una ventana al infinito

@@tobiasstudtheol modern church music sucks, for me it all sounds the same and noncreative, There is nothing like
Old sacred music.
@@Lazarus-p8l, there is a lot of sloppy modern church music but dig deeper, you will find something better.
@@tobiasstudtheol can you suggest me any CCM Artist who you think is great..
In Russian there's a say : whoever's paying, orders the music.
La reducción de las voces aumenta la fragilidad de la música y el sentimiento de soledad de la partitura. Un gran planteamiento por parte de Rifkin.
Pure Compassion... :(
Such a movingly heartfelt chorale!
Fantastic Mr. Joshua Rifkin!
Incredibly moving.
Wonderful recording. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the Rifkin. LOVE IT.. BRIAN
Keine sorgen herr jesus ist hier
2:18 My god!
Permíteme que te cuente
Como una cantata de Bach
Acompañando mi senda
Tierra calcárea y dura
Entre frutales en flor
Me reconcilia y aquieta
Sinfonia in f minor.. Very nice, great Rifkin.
Wonderful!
BONITA OBRA NO LA CONOCIA.
Muchas gracias y pasad un domingo feliz.🌿
Gråd, klage og sorg. Jesu død på korset kan kun beklages med stor sorg.....
ALABADO sea Jesucristo
❤
there's got to be a download for this
UA-cam to mp3.
What is that image? Is it maybe a famous sculpture kept in Bologna?
incredible .... (the chorus is from Crucifixus ?)

One voice per part is a real downer.
+MrPaevo Oh please. It's beautiful.
+MrPaevo get with it, old man

blame the audio engineer for not balancing the voices out. I'm sure one per part sounded just fine, if not more intimate.
blame the conductor! burn the sheets! kill bach!
Its deeply emotional music. J.S. Bach was obviously inspired by higher intelligence that create end inspire... 💜
