- ‘Deposuit’ from 'Magnificat' (BWV 243) by J.S. Bach.
The Magnificat is the first large choral work that Bach composed after his appointment in Leipzig in the spring of 1723. It is an ‘old-fashioned’ but delightful five-voiced work that uses Latin, just like the other rarity among Bach’s works, the Mass in B minor. The text comes from the Gospel of Luke, and is about the visit made by Mary to her cousin Elisabeth, who was also pregnant. She welcomed Mary with the words: ‘Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!’ Mary answered, saying: ‘My soul doth magnify the Lord (Magnificat anima mea Dominum), and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my saviour, for he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden’. The religious feast day associated with this event, the Feast of the Visitation, was held in Bach’s day on 2 July, although nowadays it is celebrated on 31 May. Bach may have planned the Magnificat to have been sung at this first important religious feast day after his appointment. But as his aim of composing a new cantata for each Sunday turned out to be rather a high one, he might have postponed the completion of the Magnificat until the next feast day, Christmas 1723. In any case, that was when it was first performed, supplemented by a few suitable hymns in German.
Performed by the Netherlands Bach Society conducted by Jos van Veldhoven.
Soloist: Thomas Hobbs (Tenor).

...perfect breath control, esp in that crescendo, akin to an athletic feat...bravo!
Spectacular tenor. Best rendition I have heard in my life, so far.
Esto se lo escuchaba cantar a mi padre cuando era niña y este tenor lo interpreta de maravilla!!!! ❤
great voice, light yet strong. Not too operatic.
This man is a dream early music tenor. A beautiful, agile voice, on the light side but rounded and not childish or squeeky, and surprisingly full at the bottom (and I'm a Heldentenor fan!). Always right in terms of expression. Why not try some lighter Mozart?... Padmore, Ainsley, Agnew, Bostridge... Do you have some kind of post-P.Pears recipe in the UK to produce such mellow tenor voices???
Best of luck, Thomas (I'm sure you know your name is just a letter away from that of the philosopher T. Hobbes, but being a philosopher, I can´t help mentioning that to my friends!)
I think the recipe comes from the choral tradition in this country :)
Splendid
Great work -- violins are tight too : - )
What a perfect voice!
Lovely understated beautiful
Hey Thomas, do you breath? Haha
Wonderful performance 😍
Super Stimme!
Well done Sir !
This is very good
This tempo is perfect, I don't care for the slower renditions.
Rather difficult aria (I suppose), done with gusto and musicality. Bravo, and Thank you!

Sempre há esperança em Deus. Do Magnificat:
"Deposuit potentes de sede,
et exaltavit humiles."
Os maus cairão, tão certo quanto amanhã veremos o Sol nascer.

Hmmm... its interesting how Bach composed it, but Monteverdi made so much better music out of this line: I barrely can hear this. Although Bach is a genius without question; but the music doesnt fit to the text.
