Just so you'd know, if you didn't already: this aria isn't originally composed by Bach, but by Gottfried Stölzel, it's part of his opera Diomedes. It was long ascribed to Bach though, because the sources of Stölzel's opera were long lost
« If you're with me, I'll go with joy » is a Aria from Gottfried Heinrich Stölzels Opera Diomedes, which premiered in 1718. The « Aria » is known as « Bist du bei mir » (BWV 508), a version for voice and continuo, which can be found as No. 25 in the 1725 music booklet for Anna Magdalena Bach. Stölzel and Bach were in the same places at different times and shared knowledge, but whether they met in person can only be assumed. The Bach family copied dozens of Stölzel pieces in their public and private musical practices with or without Stölzel's approval. History will tell according to the research of musicologists. This composition will be orchestrated later by Thomas Frost. *Lucien* Aria: « If you are with me, I will go with joy die and rest. Oh, how happy my ending would be, your beautiful hands closing my faithful eyes. » *Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel*
Man spürt, dass ihm die Sprache so viel bedeutet wie die Musik. "Freude" und "Sterben" klingen bei ihm so, als gehörten sie zueinander. Man hört diese Interpretation und fühlt sich zutiefst getröstet.
When a baryton (my favorite voice) is good, Heaven is near. And we know how seldom is Heaven. So fresh becomes Bach again with you. Thank you so much sir.
Text: Bist du bei mir, geh ich mit Freuden zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh. Ach, wie vergnügt wär so mein Ende, es drückten deine schönen Hände mir die getreuen Augen zu! English Translation: If you are with me, then I will go gladly unto [my] death and to my rest. Ah, what a pleasant end for me, if your dear hands be the last I see, closing shut my faithful eyes to rest!

A marvelous baritone with so much expression in this Bach interpretation of "Bist Du Bei Mir". Danke schön, Benjamin! Hoping to hear more of your singing! Have you, perhaps, done an album?
Amazing interpretation. Unfortunately, the piece is not from J.S. Bach. Bist du bei mir is an aria from Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel's opera Diomedes, which was first staged on 16 November 1718.
Sencillamente maravilloso, con una delicadeza que te eleva el alma, y una musicalidad extraordinaria, donde los trinos se escuchan con total claridad y belleza. Quedo completamente fascinado
Benjamin Appl, ich habe Sie in Münsterling gehört --- mein erster Coronazeit Konzertbesuch --- Sie haben mein Herz berührt - dauerhaft -- wahre Musik, wahre Kunst. DANKE
this is absolutely brilliant and wonderful and through Benjamin and other artists who have recorded BIST DU BEI MIR, I have (me, a child from Ohio) memorized it and sing it (badly) ALL THE TIME. Whatever has happened to me? I've become a passionate advocate of the power of J.S. Bach, thanks to Herr Appl and to Magdalena and to J.S. Das ist WUNDERBAR-ISSIMO!! xxx from Danforth Prince
True. He did his late master Dietrich Fischer-Diskeau so well with a voice texture even deeper and fuller than his master's. What an awesome item in your résumé to have been his last pupil. Wow! I really prefer the bass-baritone for that reason, deeper and fuller texture. I marveled at the, in one sense, greater voice of the sadly late Siberian baritone Dmitri Hvorstovsky, but due to his repertoire being mostly opera, he rarely displayed the deepness and richness of text Benjamin regularly does, typical for the Lied versus the operatic singer, most opera being really largely pornography in a foreign language.
@@russedav5 That is a rather crass opinion on opera and opera singers. There are many singers of opera with deep and rich interpretations, also in Lieder when they sing them. As for Benjamin, he has a very nice voice and tasteful way of singing however i find it overly sensitive and even corny at times. prefer when emotions and text interpretation flow naturally from the words instead of a sauce of feelings and moods pour over them. His hand movements are a sign of that too and to me it's distracting. I also like a more legato approach and full bodied tone, I even suspect he wouldn't be able to technically.
This music is composed by Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel, it's an aria of his opera Diomedes, premiered in 1718. Anna Magdalena Bach put it into her Notenbüchlein in 1725.
''Se estiveres comigo, então eu irei alegremente para a morte e a paz. Ah, como então seria agradável meu fim se suas belas mãos cerrassem meus olhos fiéis.''
Congratulations for the beautiful rendition of this air. You sing with your heart, and the warmth of your voice ,and the barroque orchestration, are a perfect match. Bravo! Bravo! I am currently studying it even though I am more of a popular singer nowadays. In this crazy times we have been going through, times that look so scary as if we have been living the end of times... music is one of the few refuges to the soul. Thank you so much for this awesome and inspiring performance.
Although there is a Bach version (BWV 508) I would definitely give credit to Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel, the composer of the original. It´s an aria found in one of his operas. Otherwise very good interpretation.
its not Bach , this Aria is from Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel 1690 1749 it was attributed to Bach becsuse it was written down in Notebook Anna Magdalena...
Mal angenommen man stellte sich einen kleinen soundtrack für die eigene Beerdigung zusammen... diese Aufnahme bereicherte die Party, selbst aus dem Kofferradio. Mal abgesehen dass ich zum Anlass niemanden sehen will, die Musik sollte trotzdem stimmen.
El Deutsch es completamente válido para adorar al Señor Omnipotente. La persona que siempre se queja de todo y demanda el inglés está muy egoísta, pero muy
Nice performance to hear. Not sure about watching. I grew up in the vocal world thinking this was Bach, too, but it's not. It was in the Anna Magdelena notebook, but it was transcribed there, not written by JSB. This is actually an aria from Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel's opera Diomedes, an original score of which was discovered in Kiev in the twenty-first century, part of the lost archive of the Sing-Akademie zu Berlin which had found its way there.
Bist du bei mir, geh' ich mit Freuden zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh'. Ach, wie vergnügt wär' so mein Ende, es drückten deine lieber Hände mir die getreuen Augen zu! ………. Be Thou with me, then I will go gladly unto [my] death and to my rest. Ah, how pleasant would be my end, if your dear hands shut my faithful eyes!
Never enough of Bach. Ever. Another wonderful voice in a long, long line of singers....

Stunning. Simply stunning.
Wunderschön, Herr Appl und Concerto Köln. Vielen Dank für die Aufnahme!
Das macht er schon ziemlich gut. Vielen Dank!
Ausgezeichnet!
Hermosa voz y bellísima interpretación
Your interpretation of this glorious piece of music is exquisite. You allow me to see into Heaven when you are singing. Thank you.
me too.heaven
Way overinterpreted. Bach is not Schubert.

So glad to discover this such a talented and expressive singer, with a wonderful voice.

It's not Bach
Magistral, et très sensible, j'en ai des frissons, merci pour ce moment de grâce !
Benjamin Appl und Andreas Scholl haben das richtige Gespür und Gefühl für das Stück. Ich kenne keine besseren Interpreten.
Absolutely beautiful voice, and an extraordinary articulate Bach, this is just wonderful all of it
Immer wieder höre ich dieses emotional besetze Stück. Eine Glanzleistung von Benjamin. Die beste Version, die ich bislang hören durfte.
Was für ein wunderschöne Stimme! 👏🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
Ich auch .Mann ist das schön. Mir laufen die Tränen
Bravo Benjamin! Lovely Baritone Voice. Glad I found your work...

Unglaublich dieser Sänger.
Sehr schöne Interpretarion

Formidable, míster Appl!
One of my most favourite songs so beautifully sung. As an amateur countertenor I'd love to perform this song in public but haven't, so far.
Yes, finally I have sung this beautiful piece in church during a service but one octave higher. Loved it
Très bien, très belle voix, excellente interprétation.
Benjamin Appl, ich habe Sie in Münsterling gehört --- mein erster Coronazeit Konzertbesuch --- Sie haben mein Herz berührt - dauerhaft -- wahre Musik, wahre Kunst. DANKE
Beautiful, Benjamin. Your Bach CD is simply wonderful. You reach the heart and soul of the music and bring us with you. Danke Schöne.
Merci de le dire ! Je suis en train d’écouter le CD de Benjamin grâce à toi ❤ Quelle belle voix !

Das Stück ist nur garnicht von Bach....
Vielen Danke fürfiese schönen Momente des Friedens und der Hoffnung
Hey Ben,,,,,,,,,, You're good !!! The German lyrics are much better than the English translation.

Zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh... ❤❤❤

You are blessed, man! Wow... how beautifucl your voice and performance are. Enrolled! Great singer, phantastic, better putting!
Beautiful! Simply beautiful! 2:35
Not Bach!! Gottfried Stolzen!
Bach made an arrangement after an aria by Stötzel.
''Se estiveres comigo, então eu irei alegremente
para a morte e a paz.
Ah, como então seria agradável meu fim
se suas belas mãos
cerrassem meus olhos fiéis.''
"tuas"
A bit awkward , if you know what i mean…. 😅
une voix profonde et fleurie, magnifique !
Magnifique interprétation, sobriété et talent.
Ich liebe sowas erarbeite gerade mein Stück wo auch Barock Gesang hinzugefügt werden soll.🎹👍🎹

Ben ! You are my hero. Bach music makes me happy. You are born to sing bach. Bist du bei mir. Here south korea.
PRECIOSO. AÑOS BUSCANDO ESTE TEMA,.
An exeptional voice and a truly expressive, highly sensitive, personal rendition. It is gaines in depth throughout and gives this aria true meaning.
incredible; i agree
its not Bach , this Aria is from Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel 1690 1749
it was attributed to Bach becsuse it was written down in Notebook Anna Magdalena...
Wunderbar, danke

Kongeniales Zusammentreffen von Stimme und Instrumenten!
Sutileza. Belleza. Emoción. Gracias.
desde Argentina Maravilloso !!!
Ja, ich bin bei dir, Ben!

😂😂 ich auch...
Beautiful BUT it's not by Bach
Very correct. It’s in fact an aria from Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel's opera Diomedes.
Es wurde nicht von J.S. Bach komponiert. Warum behaupten die Leute das immer wieder?
Bach is fantastisch
Fantástico!!!!!!!! Una de las mejores versiones que conozco.
precioso
Pourquoi bouger les bras comme ça ? Il essaie d'extérioriser quelque chose qu'il na pas à l'intérieur
Belíssima interpretação. Parabéns.
A beautiful melody and song of Stolzel (from his opera 'Diomedes, Oder: die Triumphierende Unschuld'). No wonder that Bach made an arrangment of it.
Bravooo
Heavenly
Quelle merveille et quelle voix magnifique. Quelle meilleure façon de commencer la journée? Merci!
Exquisite exquisite exquisite
