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.
Benjamin Appl, ich habe Sie in Münsterling gehört --- mein erster Coronazeit Konzertbesuch --- Sie haben mein Herz berührt - dauerhaft -- wahre Musik, wahre Kunst. DANKE
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.
« 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*
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
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
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
Seine Interpretation und die, die Man auf dem Kanal Netherland Bach Society von Daniels sind die schönsten die ich bis jetzt gefunden habe. Vielen Dank
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.
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!

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?
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.
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.
Just delightful and perfectly rendered. Such tenderness, every note a caress. Certainly as well, and beyond the composers expectation. Bravo to you and as well, to the accompanying musicians. Well done.
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! 👏🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼

Your interpretation of this glorious piece of music is exquisite. You allow me to see into Heaven when you are singing. Thank you.

Ich auch .Mann ist das schön. Mir laufen die Tränen
So glad to discover this such a talented and expressive singer, with a wonderful voice.
Benjamin Appl und Andreas Scholl haben das richtige Gespür und Gefühl für das Stück. Ich kenne keine besseren Interpreten.
Formidable, míster Appl!

Très bien, très belle voix, excellente interprétation.
It is a pleasure to look at a European who feels his native culture that way
huh???
Ben ! You are my hero. Bach music makes me happy. You are born to sing bach. Bist du bei mir. Here south korea.
Quelle merveille et quelle voix magnifique. Quelle meilleure façon de commencer la journée? Merci!
Stunning. Simply stunning.
Never enough of Bach. Ever. Another wonderful voice in a long, long line of singers....

Perfectly matches the music. A great joy to listen.

Exquisite performance!
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 !
d'une grande profondeur, très éprouvant
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
Immer wunderbar, Bach!
Congratulations Benjamin , your musical phrasing and musicality is exquisite
I’m studding music and you are an inspiration

Wow for a baritone, such lovely control and mix in the higher notes. Great arrangement

Only thing missing from my life is a voice like that.

ua-cam.com/video/3hOQoUiawxw/v-deo.html&start_radio=1 This is our recent single... which begins by quoting a French melodie.
Sehr, sehr schön.
A beautiful melody and song of Stolzel (from his opera 'Diomedes, Oder: die Triumphierende Unschuld'). No wonder that Bach made an arrangment of it.
Formidable!
Exquisite exquisite exquisite
Perfekt und wunderbar!!!
