Bach - Cantata Ich elender Mensch, wer wird mich erlösen BWV 48 - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society

- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- In this cantata by Bach, the chorale "Herr Jesu Christ, ich schrei zu dir" (Freiburg, 1620) plays a central role, described as a hymn 'of a troubled and sorrowful heart'. Bach has it sung once in this cantata, in the final chorale, but with another strophe. However, the chorale melody is already woven into the opening chorus, as a two-part canon between the slide trumpet and the oboes. It leads the listener from plaintive despair at the beginning to the reassuring finale: Jesus the Saviour gives strength and makes healthy.

😢🎉
Beautiful! Thank you Nerherlands Bach Society for recording and offering these recordings for free! ❤
The spacial austerity of Covid-compliant recordings actually adds to this performance - and it's always good to have a real slide-trumpet...
Majestic performance. Thanks Netherlands Bach Society for being a vehicle of honor for God on earth.
"And you will hear of wars, and rumors of wars; See that you are not disturbed , because it is necessary for all this to happen, but the end is not yet" Matthew 24:6
"Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven" Luke 21: 10-11
"But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh" Luke 21:28
¡Jesus Christ is coming soon!
Many thanks to the Netherlands Bach Society for these pieces from Bach. These musicians and harmonies of the singers are the gates of heaven opening up.
Movingly breathtaking. ❤️
Lovely harmony of colors (black and blue).
The 1st choir is relaxing ...
An example of when superb music transcends all. God must surely have been speaking through Bach.
תודה רבה לכם! אני מודה בכל יום על ערוצכם הנפלא!
13:14 Eine der schönsten Interpretationen dieser wunderbaren Arie, die ich bisher gehört habe.
Che Dio benedica tutti voi per la meraviglia che ci donate e che ci accompagnerà sempre
As it began, I thought "oh my, this will really drag". But in fact there is an incredible melding of all the sounds -- chorus, solo, brass, wind, strings, and continuo -- into a glorious production.
Bach's genius. Modern production. Thank you!
Thank you.
Amazing! One of the most unusual and challenging cantatas, especially the recit. This work is Bach's text painting at its absolute peak. Bravi to all.
Ευχαριστούμε για την τεράστια προσφορά σας αυτής της Θείας Μουσικής με τόσο θαυμάσιες ερμηνείες! Δημιουργείτε έναν Παράδεισο εν μέσω της Κόλασης.
Love the slower tempo! Best version I've heard.
unworldly❣
From whence does Bach bring these poignant unearthly sounds into our mediocre atmosphere? Surely some merciful angelic transmissions.
Great and beautiful music
Ook weer zo’n prachtige cantata en geweldig gemusiceerd. Vergibt mir Jesus is van een overweldigende en meeslepende schoonheid. Ook de countertenor is geweldig. Dank
We will miss Shunske 🍂
Any information yet either about where he's going or who's to succeed him?
Heart-rendingly lovely chorus. Thanks.
Absolutely wonderful🍃thank's NBS
Very Peaceful, Soli Deo Gloria Amen.
Thank You

Recitative [Alto]
Violino I/II, Viola, Continuo
O Schmerz, o Elend, so mich trifft,
O pain, O misery, that strikes me,
Indem der Sünden Gift
while the poison of sin
Bei mir in Brust und Adern wütet:
rages in my breast and veins:
Die Welt wird mir ein Siech- und Sterbehaus,
the world becomes for me a house of sickness and death,
Der Leib muß seine Plagen
Bis zu dem Grabe mit sich tragen.
the body must bear its troubles
with it until the grave.
Allein die Seele fühlet den stärksten Gift,
Only the soul feels the strongest poison,
Damit sie angestecket;
with which it is infected;
Drum, wenn der Schmerz den Leib des Todes trifft,
therefore, when pain strikes the mortal body,
Wenn ihr der Kreuzkelch bitter schmecket,
when the soul tastes the bitterness of the chalice of the cross,
So treibt er ihr ein brünstig Seufzen aus.
this drives the soul to utter a burning sigh.

Solls ja so sein,
If it must indeed be so,

that punishment and pain
Auf Sünde folgen müssen,

So fahr hie fort

Und schone dort
and there take care of me
Und laß mich hie wohl büßen.
and let me here do penance.

Ach, lege das Sodom der sündlichen Glieder,
Ah, may Sodom with its sinful members,
Wofern es dein Wille, zerstöret darnieder!

Nur schone der Seele und mache sie rein,
But take care of my soul and make it pure,
Um vor dir ein heiliges Zion zu sein.

Doch wird uns Jesu Kraft bekannt:

Er weiß im geistlich Schwachen
for us who are weak in spirit he knows how to
Den Leib gesund, die Seele stark zu machen.

Daß wir im Glauben Hilfe finden.

Gracias por compartir
Very great full…
Splendidi!
Спасибо за совершенство!
Very interesting production -- looked almost like a rehearsal before a big television broadcast (the wardrobe informal but the lighting and camera work extraordinary). As always I love these, they have truly gotten me through the pandemic thus far. Especially like the operatic facial expressions of Daniel Johannsen - it's like he is actually talking to us!
The wardrobe follows a dress code : black and blue !
Superb!
Wonderful.
Beautiful! Wonderful playing, and even more wonderful voices.
So beautiful.
What to say
JUST HEAVENLTY GORGEOUS MUSIC. WHAT A PLEASURE INDEED.
Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieser kompakten doch perfekt komponierten Kantate mit gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors und durchsichtigen doch herrlichen Stimmen beider genialen Solisten sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Originalinstrumente. Der intelligente und unvergleichliche Violinist/Dirigent leitet das ebenso ausgezeichnete Barockorchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Tiefempfunden vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
Absolument magnifique !
sehr schön 😍
Thank you very much. I appreciate this.
Parabéns ao canal pelas excelentes produções!
Wunderbar
Actually, I didn't know about the music pieces where come from. I practiced then I practiced and I practiced. I discovered some melody line maybe player listening when composers alive. Overtone brought me one more melody. Especially,practicing Beethoven piano sonata. Everything I find is from practice. Thank you again. Mitsuru Azemoto
Bahia, Brazil here.
Never heard this one before.... SO...
"Sols ja so sein"
I had to say 'Wow - wasn't expecting that!' - six times!
If Bach were here today...what would he be getting into?
Some of those modulations were futuristic to put it mildly.
Exactly! One of the wildest Bach chorales. There's a section that's just a succession of unresolved dominant 7th chords that aren't even secondary dominants and don't modulate to anything in particular. Very odd but it sounds great.
👍👍👍
😍
I wish we could see more of the oboe playing the hymn tune in canon with the brass instrument.
👍
Ich wünsche mir die sowohl von den Tempi als auch vom Dirigat überzeugenden Interpretationen Jos van Veldhovens zurück. Der Eingangssatz steht hier derart auf der Stelle, dass alle Zusammenhänge verloren gehen, die Gesangslinien nicht ohne Zwischenatmen zu bewältigen sind und der wunderbare Kanon zwischen Trompete und Oboe nicht mehr erkannt werden kann. Werter Herr Sato, Sie sind ein so toller Geiger, dass dort ihr bester Platz ist.
Im ersten Stück treten "ziemlich interessante" Harmonien auf ...
(z.bsp: ab Takt. 126 => )
Es ist daher (fast) eine Verpflichtung eine Analyse durchzuführen 🤪
It would be so much more impactful if content was in the subtitles. Thank you nevertheless!
Why is everyone standing so far apart?
Een rommelige zeurderige door sukkelende cantate, de uitvoering matig of Bach was wat in de war bij het schrijven. Kortom, absoluut geen knaller. Iedereen lovend het zal best, voor mij, laat maar.
Zu zu langsam. Und das macht einfach. Zu schlafen gehen.
Und Bach mochte es schneller. Und Carl hat es viele Male geschrieben.
Wie üblich, ist Tenor-Stil "one size fits all"
