What a difficult interpretation. More please! Komm, Jesu, komm, Mein Leib ist müde, Die Kraft verschwindt je mehr und mehr, Ich sehne mich Nach deinem Friede; Der saure Weg wird mir zu schwer! Komm, ich will mich dir ergeben; Du bist der rechte Weg, die Wahrheit und das Leben. Drum schließ ich mich in deine Hände Und sage, Welt, zu guter Nacht! Eilt gleich mein Lebenslauf zu Ende, Ist doch der Geist wohl angebracht. Er soll bei seinem Schöpfer schweben, Weil Jesus ist und bleibt Der wahre Weg zum Leben.
Bravo Solomons Knot for your superb rendition of this Bach motet! It's my understanding that the motets are considered among the most difficult of Bach's vocal music. Also, I want to emphasize how memorization enhances the quality of the performance. Memorization causes the musician to have a more complete knowledge of the music, and it also removes the barrier of sheet music and/or music stands between the performers and the audience.
Absolute top of your game at the moment and your Passion performances (I saw two!) were inspirational. I love your oozing musicality, assured technique and vocal warmth. Just brilliant thank you.
Stellar performance, Bach would be proud! Feels like a slightly less traditional presentation, you add so much character and emotion in the right places!
What a difficult interpretation. More please!
Komm, Jesu, komm,
Mein Leib ist müde,
Die Kraft verschwindt je mehr und mehr,
Ich sehne mich
Nach deinem Friede;
Der saure Weg wird mir zu schwer!
Komm, ich will mich dir ergeben;
Du bist der rechte Weg, die Wahrheit und das Leben.
Drum schließ ich mich in deine Hände
Und sage, Welt, zu guter Nacht!
Eilt gleich mein Lebenslauf zu Ende,
Ist doch der Geist wohl angebracht.
Er soll bei seinem Schöpfer schweben,
Weil Jesus ist und bleibt
Der wahre Weg zum Leben.
Thank you very much! It is a great interpretation! I have a nice morning.
You are welcome 😊
