Bach: Matthäus-Passion, Aria "Mache dich, mein Herze, rein" Fischer-Dieskau
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 кві 2009
- For this Easter season, the recitative and aria "Mache dich, mein Herze, rein" from Bach's St Matthew Passion.
Notes based on The Sacred Dramas of J.S. Bach by W. Murray Young:
Recitative: The climax of the entire work comes in this recitative/arioso movement with its following aria for the same bass voice. Joseph of Arimathea is the actor expressing his personal emotions as he attends the burial of his Master. A motif of celestial peace permeates the whole movement a mystical aura unique in Bachs works which moves the listener by its text and entrances him by its sound. Schweitzer thinks that Bach expresses the tranquil peace of the falling twilight in this arioso. It is certainly a miniature tone poem well suited to the descent from the cross.
Aria: This aria is the other outstanding movement in this Passion. Its rhythm shows the suave melody of a siciliano in 12/8 time, but it is the soloists feeling for the emotions expressed in his text that makes the listener realize that he is listening to a pure, spiritual music, as Joseph of Arimathea proclaims his lifelong devotion to Christ and his rejection of the world. The motif of calm in the first two lines (the da capo brings it back) is replaced by a motif of joy in the last four lines. The soloists artistic runs on begraben (bury) and the effective orchestral ritornelli before, halfway, and at the end, make this aria a masterpiece.
Nr. 74: Rezitative (Bass)
Am Abend, da es kühle war,
Ward Adams Fallen offenbar;
Am Abend drücket ihn der Heiland nieder.
Am Abend kam die Taube wieder
Und trug ein Ölblatt in dem Munde.
O schöne Zeit! O Abendstunde!
Der Friedensschluß ist nun mit Gott gemacht,
Denn Jesus hat sein Kreuz vollbracht.
Sein Leichnam kommt zur Ruh,
Ach, liebe Seele, bitte du,
Geh, lasse dir den toten Jesum schenken,
O heilsammes, o köstlichs Angedenken!
At evening, hour of calm and peace,
Was Adams fall made manifest;
At evening, too, the Lords redeeming love.
At evening homeward turned the dove
And bore the olive-leaves as token.
O beauteous time! O evening hour!
Our lasting peace is now with God made sure,
For Jesus hath His Cross endured.
His body sinks to rest.
Go, loving servant, ask thou it,
Go, be it thine, the lifeless Saviours body.
O, wondrous Gift! O precious, holy burden.
Nr. 75: Arie (Bass)
Mache dich, mein Herze, rein,
Ich will Jesum selbst begraben.
Denn er soll nunmehr in mir
Für und für
Seine süße Ruhe haben.
Welt, geh aus, laß Jesum ein!
Make thee clean, my heart, from sin;
I would my Lord inter,
May He find rest in me,
Ever in eternity,
His sweet repose be here.
World, depart, let Jesus in!

There will never be anyone to sing like this again in another hundred years. What beauty of tone, line, legato and magnificent control- quite simply awe inspiring. How lucky we are to have his recorded legacy.
Well, a quite different style, but equally expressive, is German Baritone Andreas Wolf, in a performance from 2013 or 2014, with the Netherland Bach Society, it is here on youtube. I have listened to Wolf sing the Mache dich maybe 50 times and I never tire of listening and watching his expressions. I recommend to all of us who love music to listen. Not to lessen how great Fischer Dieskau but to show that the march of human talent goes on forever.
Exactly. Never will be a more beautiful melisma on “be-graaaaaab-en.” Never a more beautiful vowel on “rein.” Really amazing that this 1958 recording stands up as well as it does in view of changes in performance practices over the last 60 years.
There's just something so overwhelmingly beautiful about his voice. It stayed that way until he left this earth. It touched me deeply as a teenager. Still does today, as I approach 70. So grateful for his gift.
I’m 74, and seeing and hearing DFD live was indescribable, after listening to his recordings. I think I even got his autograph. I’ll search for it tomorrow.
@@LindaPghThis recording is from 1995.
Fischer-Dieskau singt hier mit derart sanfter und samtweicher Stimme, seine Musikalität steht ohnehin außer Frage. Bach verdient die besten Musiker, Fischer-Dieskau ist einfach unschlagbar. Ich stelle mir vor, wie genial eine Zusammenarbeit mit Herreweghe oder Koopman gewesen wäre.
Technische Perfektion!
Ein paar Sekunden Dieskau ersetzen 100 Gesangsstücken, wenn man alles begreift, was er macht, muss man gar nicht studieren.
Fischer-Dieskau has a wonderfully effortless top, which has a tenor quality envied by all baritones i should think.
He is immediately recognisable, as all great singers are.
Some may quibble about performance practice but I have never heard a more beautiful and moving rendition of this aria from an "young" Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. It tears at my heart every time I listen to it.
ditto.
Agreed
My words cannot describe what this music does for me. This is beyond mere words, it is pure feelings, emotions, beauty. It calms, soothes and heals me. Thank God that this is available for such as I.
J.S.BACH - D.FISCHER DIESKAU ❤
One of my Mother’s favourite singers…God rest her. I keep coming back to this. It feeds the soul.
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau gives this most wonderful interpretation of one of the highlights of Bach's St. Matthew Passion. I have heard this work countless times and Fischer-Dieskau is the greatest, bringing the spiritual message to us through his God-given voice.
Bach è Bach e lo sappiamo, ma questa interpretazione è intramontabile!
Others may come close, but nobody surpasses the beauty of DFD's voice in this aria.
How can annyone, ANNYONE dislike this???
+miralvonhawaii Obviously the performance is in many respects stylistically incorrect, so, though the performance is not as bad as I expected, it is still not a good performance: the orchestra is way too big, they use dynamic contrasts which are not in the score, and the tempo is too slow, and there is too much legato used.
I am sorry for you good sir. It means you don't feel the music at all. Even though it may be not stylistically correct all the time, it is a moment of creation with which I am 100 % sure even Bach would agree. You must listen with your heart not with the knowledge that you got from books. Plus, no one is even sure how it was played during Bach's time, so concentrating on the music is more important than the so called "style".
Whhhhaaaattttt?? Are you serious. Don't listen to this, go find yourself another piece of music to listen to. Maybe "twinkle, twinkle little star" will satisfy you. If you have nothing nice to say, then better not say anything at all. Or maybe YOU can do better, or is your knowledge from books?? Obviously. Dynamic contrasts that are not in the score, how interesting, please explain what this is. Too much legato too,according to the specialist.
I agree. It is absolutely genius.
Sybrand Bakker : Wrong on all counts. No. I misspoke. You don't even manage to be wrong. A truly worthless opinion expressed with the ex cathedra assurance of the idiot.
RIP - an unforgettable artist who enriched all our lives.
C'est une émotion pour moi de re-entendre la voix de Fischer-Dieskau...puisquej'ai chanté avec lui à la salle Pleyel,faisant partie de la Caecilienverein de Frankfurt à cette époque (+Maurice Andre ,Pierre Pierlotetc..)
There just aren’t any words to describe this man’s gorgeous voice….or the emotions he stirs with his effortless technique. Then, together with the sublime music of Bach, the soul can be transported to a kind of bliss which makes me feel close to God, which makes me forget everything but gratitude for such beauty. What do people do, who can’t access or value this world??
As Leonardo da Vinci, the master himself, said: „The softer the material, the higher and nobler the art.“
This is so true for Fischer-Dieskau. His voice and his being are so splendid, so extremely sensitive and knowing.
Tecnically speaking he is the best!!
"I want to bury Jesus myself" What incredibly moving words! These Passions of Bach are quite special.
It took me three years, lol, to fully understand the text. He asks first that his heart be made pure before he may bury His Savior along with all of his sin which the Lord took upon Himself at the cross. Both the purification and the burial make his heart a fitting place in which Jesus may reign forever. He also rightly tells the world to no longer occupy a place in his heart and to let Jesus enter.
most beautiful voice I have ever heard!
never heard it better, it still makes me sad, XXX
Bloody masterful rendition. Brings me to tears every time. One of the great moments in recorded Bach.
The voice of authenticity. Knowing grief and sorrow, and helped me in facing my own, and slowly purging them toward healing. Beautiful voice and feeling.
Mestres de mestres. Bach. Richter e Dieskau.
Uma sublime, emocionante e perfeita Aria para a historia da musica clássica.
It sounds as if Bach had composed that piece of music especially for DFD. Wonderful!
This was a surprise finding this recording of DFD singing "Mache dich, mein Herze, rein". To me it is the very best of all the baritone renditions of this aria. Disekau is always superb !!!! Thanks for uploading it :-)
Für und für!
Thanks for posting this. What elegance and control. A master.
What amazing marriage of words and sincere spirit of making music . I am lost in the sweet aroma of the strings soaring above and below the golden voice of DFD . Not only does it make me want to cry but offer myself to the one who was crucified to save my life .
I heard this aria today at the LA OPERA live for the first and I lost control of my emotions. I was completely devastated by the sublime spirituality of this aria I wept uncontrollably.
I recently discovered this aria, I have been listening to many versions, DVD is just amazing here. It takes quite a special voice to make music like this. My favorite so far.
GO ON ... I LISTEN to this ARIA SINCE EARLY CHILDHOOD . AND AWLAYS ELEVATE MY SOUL in a SUCH a HARD WORLD . I HOPE YOU WILL REACH this , as well .
DFD is truly a voice from another world. The emotion he awakens through his ingenious interpretation of this piece fit no words of description. Just stunning. He takes my breath away every time I hear him.
...heard it first during my adolescence, loved it then, love it now. As child you listen only with heart and soul, preserve that when you get older....
DFD is quite often reference during singing lessons. How perfectly he managed vocals and consonants and the link they form.
A true artist and a remarkable human being
Insuperable interpretación del maestro Fischer-Dieskau de esta última aria de la pasión. Es la expresión más pura e íntima de humanidad y de sentimiento religioso como lo debió imaginar Bach al crear esta obra maestra. Sublime, casi en la perfección
This music is a miracle.
There is simply nothing like the late and great DFD !!!!
I've always wanted to hear DFD singing this great aria from the Matthaus Passion. Perfection. Thanks
What a beautiful download I can't imagine my life now without FDK and Bach thank you
The original 1958 Richter recording with DFD, Haefliger, Seefried, Töpper and Engen is available on iTunes: I just downloaded it after hearing this wonderful excerpt. Thank you for uploading it!
This is pure bliss, thankyou so much for giving us all the chance to hear such beauty.
Thank you. Beautiful images, great performance, transcendent music. I come here often and always end up in tears because if the beauty of it all.
Божественно звучит немецкая речь в его исполнении. Само совершенство!!!
So very beautiful and moving: the music and the art work.
Just incomparable... no singer is more invested in the text and still caresses the lifeless body of Christ
I meant to thank you for this particularly beautiful upload . Wonderful images & the text there so that we can wonder at all the colours & subtleties in Fischer-Dieskau's interpretation.
I play it each day now.
.Dear Karen - Marvelous! I was so swept away by the sensational array of paintings you presented as well. Oh my goodness ... thanks always!
To all here who, after listening to this recording and being unimpressed and unmoved, have felt compelled to dismiss it as inauthentic and insult those who are deeply touched by it: this recording was made at least a decade before the serious research and re-examination of 17th and 18th century performance practice even began. Yes, that research concluded that we should begin performing this music differently (different kinds of instruments, different vocal forces, different tempos, different dynamic ranges, etc., etc., etc.) But that research is certainly imperfect. Some musicologist next month will probably determine that male altos wouldn't have been used in major church works, and that the baroque oboe was actually made of different wood and should sound different from what we thought had been proved. ARE WE JUST GOING TO INVALIDATE ALL PRIOR PERFORMANCES?????? I think this "Mache dich, mein Herze, rein" is true to the music, the text, and the spirit of Bach's vision, as best we know them. And DFD was a treasure.
I've spared you my opinion of trashing other people's religious beliefs. Be glad for that.
Beyond words..
Che grazia e che stile sublime!!! Thank you for uploading
Supreme. Fischer Dieskau at his absolute best
I discovered this about 3 months ago-supreme Dieskau and Richter-I watch it most days-many,many thanks.
Pasan los años, pero esta aria de JS Bach, en la voz de DFD continua sin ser superada.
Bach and DFD bring us closer to God...
Matthias Goerne..wunderschöner Sänger!
Thank you.
The bass aria begins 2’35”.
I find it fascinating that someone finds this music brings sadness. That to me is a clue of objective Art. There’s something extraordinarily beautiful about the final bass aria of St Matthew. Perhaps for me it brings solace, joy, others, sadness. By its evocation we identify the disconnection in our hearts from perfect love.
I DO NOT CRY LESS THAN I CRYED BEFORE , at that TIME WHEN I WAS PHYSICALLY PRESENT THERE , WHEN THEY , ALIVE . SPECIALLY REHEARSALS , at BACKSTAGE . MY DEEP CONNECTION with THEM , DFD , KR . WH . SO MANY TIMES . AND DIETRICHT , HOW YOU HAVE SHAPED MY SOUL . a TENDER SOUL , that YOU HAVE PERCEIVED .in GRATITUDE , MY ANGEL .
a VERY DEEP PRAYER , ALL this .
Wunderschön!
I've been looking for this aria by DFD for ages now. Absolutely superb singing
by one of the greatest baritones. I also like versions by Berry, Mertens and Salminen.
Thankyou, FiDiTanzer528. A beautiful presentation of Fisher-Dieskau's great singing and Bach's great composing!
Quelle joie de re-ecouter fischer-diskau...avec qui j'ai chanté cette passion à la salle Pleyel en 1963 avec la caecilienverein de francfort!!quelle beauté !elisabeth geay-le huche paris
Sublime
A superlative performance!
Beautiful
Fantástico!!! The best
I quite agree. I'm a big admirer of Richter's Bach. No it's hot HIP but it has a power that can't be denied. Thanks for the comments.
Herzlichen Dank Karen, für diese wundervolle Aufnahme. Immer sang ja Fischer-Dieskau (als ich ihn persönlich erlebte) in München und Stuttgart die Partie des Jesus. Aber diese Aufnahme und auch die beiden anderen Arien ("Gebt mir meinen Jesum wieder" und "Gerne will ich mich bequemen") sind wunderschön und nicht zu überbieten.
Oh thank you, dear Karen!
A great interpreter of this wonderful piece is also the bass Walter Berry, but under Richter, not Karajan.
Agreed. Berry under Richter is my second favorite interpreter of this piece, the first being this one, Fischer-Dieskau.
So beautiful......... !!!
Contemporary performances of this beautiful arioso and aria will undoubtedly be faster in tempo and more academically correct in performance practice, but NONE will feature a singer who conveys the essential beauty of both music and, above all, the subtleties of the text.
Great Fischer-Dieskau
Conmovedora música e imágenes.
wundebar!
Not only that, but the other soloists are marvelous as well. Irmgard Seefried, Soprano, Herta Toepper, Keith Engen as Jesus and above all Ernst Haefliger singing both the Evangelist and the tenor arias. This is a feat indeed! But even if this is not considered one of the historically accurate recordings, it is certainly one of the most accurate from the point of view of illustrating the subject. An absolutely towering achievement!
Awesome.
sublime.
it is a real beauty
"Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior" (Psalm 51: 14) "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." (1. John 4: 10)
¡¡¡Hermoso!!!
Gracias por la letra en Alemán ☺
Powerful... and a beautiful video indeed! Happy Easter Karen, and everyone :)
Thanks for commenting. This is the only recording in which he sings the four bass arias. He had always sung the role of Christ in the Passion as you may know. I particularly love his performance of this aria, even the recitative is so beautifully done.
Wonderful version. Can you post more from this version of Matthäus-Passion please.
einmalig
Thank you so much, Karen. Just beautiful .. I loved it all. The paintings, the music, the performance .. the voice more lovely, velvet & ingratiating than I have
ever heard it before!! So much beauty .. really incredible. Happy Easter, dear friend:)
"The Talented Mr. Ripley" (and its closing credits), brought me here.
вот именно в этом исполнении мне эта ария нравится больше всех,именно эта запись у меня на диске
Regarding the description: I wouldn't say this is the climax of the whole St. Matthew Passion - it's one of many, many highpoints.
Wonderful! I hope you enjoy it.
This must be the beautiful video on UA-cam.
The 11 naysayers lack souls.
You have put so much time, thought and tender-loving care into this video. I really appreciate the notes and the translation listed. I am glad that someone linked this recording to the Benjamin Luxon version. His is a much slower Sicilienne, but soooooo effective.
@bbbartolo
Hi! I responded to you privately but in case others might be interested the original recording is on DG Archiv. The singers in addition to DFD are Ernst Haefliger (evangelist and tenor arias), Irmgard Seefried (soprano), Hertha Töpper (alto) and Kieth Engen (bass) as Christ. Wonderful recording over all if you appreciate Richter's way with Bach, which I certainly do. :) It is discontinued but there are certainly copies available at various places.
It is THE greatest recording of the St Matthew.
Yes, a vintage year. I have those Bach arias and may upload more someday. "Es ist vollbracht" would be great. I did upload one from that recording, "Doch weichet ihr tollen" a while ago. Thanks for the comments.
Here's Richard Dawkins favorite music :)
loboris1995 If it isn't, I will never believe another word he says...
loboris1995 Talk Dennett, Harris, Hitchines and Dawkins? about religions?:> or talk from radio, six songs which he take on lonley island.
@@Kuba-ll5iy I just looked it up cos he mentioned it... but this is a VERY religious song. I'm surprised THIS IS what he would take with him to the island. I mean, this isn't Mozart or anything secular. Personally I don't quite get the appeal of it, because you DO have to have had a very strong Christian upbringing to get such strong feelings from this.
It's really surprising to me, because it shows that the ideas of modern western Christianity are still very deeply entrenched in Richard's heart and probably always will be. He has a very deep affinity to it, much more than he ever lets on publicly. Of course it's a very specific interpretation of Christianity, not so much orthodox or early middle eastern Christian. Much more a Germanic version.
Other than Walter berry, no one could possibly come close to Mr. Dieskau
You would have to have the complete Passion recording conducted by Karl Richter. This was the only time that DFD recorded the 4 bass arias. As you know he always sang the part of Christ in other recordings.
rip fischer dieskau
Torne-se, meu coração, puro,
Eu mesmo quero sepultar Jesus.
Pois ele deve daqui por diante em mim
para sempre seu doce repouso encontrar.
Mundo, vá embora, deixe Jesus entrar!
Unerreicht - unübertroffen!
You certainly may. The very last painting is "Lamentation of Christ" by Matthias Grünewald.
According to the booklet with the DGG Archiv recording, the translation is from Eulenburg's Miniature Score (No. 953) with no attribution as to the translator. It is quite bad, particularly as it may make it seem as if this recitative and aria are a commentary by Joseph of Arimathea, whereas they are the reaction of the observant Christian. Wherefor: "liebe Seele, bitte du" "dear soul, ask thou" NOT "beloved servant"!!
But Fischer-Dieskau is still THE BEST! And it's great to hear it here!
@mdehkram Yes! I had the original Angel recording and "Es is vollbracht" will take your breath away. Please upload it for all to hear.
any more particulars you can provide on this recording (other singers, label, etc.) would be most appreciated. maybe I can find a copy somewhere--worth having if the rest is anything like this superb F-D rendition! thanks.
2:30 ¡Señor limpia mi corazón del pecado!
