I so enjoyed this smaller "chamber" performance, which suits the intimacy of the text and music. A lovely rendition with wonderful soloists.

La prima cantata scritta da J.S.Bach a soli 22 anni ,il genio è già presente. Interpretazione magnifica, grazie.

[@jdaveyw]

The alt and tenor have deeply beautiful voices. What a superlative performance.

[@Buffalobulltofta]

Best rendition on KZbin, tempos spot on much like Rifkin, and the right amount of vocalists for once. Beautiful.

THE TRIO ARIA FOR THREE TENORS IS EXQUISITE BEYOND DREAMS. THANKYOU FOR YOU BEING YOU.

[@herrickinman9303]

What "trio aria for three tenors"? There's only one tenor in the ensemble.

[@IvanGreindl]

You certainly mean the three *men* ??😉

Herzlichen Dank!!! Gottes Segen!!!!

That was an absolutely astounding performance! It is like hearing the piece, really hearing it, for the first time. All the singers were first-rate, particularly the baritone. Especially impressive was how in the tutti passages every voice maintained its independence, creating a perfectly seamless unity. Thanks to all for bringing this off. It was perfection, and perfect Bach is a thing never to be forgotten.

[@herrickinman9303]

What baritone? Of the four singers listed in the credits, not one is credited as a baritone.

Maravilloso

[@brabantstraat]

Wonderful performance of one of my favorite Bach cantatas. It's one of the very earliest cantatas by Bach to have survived, perhaps the earliest one, possibly written around 1708, when he was barely 23 years old. It's in the German tradition of Pachelbel and Buxtehude, before Bach was influenced by Italian opera. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aus_der_Tiefen_rufe_ich,_Herr,_zu_dir,_BWV_131

[@herrickinman9303]

There are two arias in this cantata. What tradition do you suppose arias came from, if not Italian opera?

[@brabantstraat]

@@herrickinman9303 The first “aria” is actually an arioso, while the second has no clear ABA or “da capo” structure as would be expected in an Italian operatic aria. Also, “the two movements for soloists are developed as a type of chorale fantasia with the soloist singing the psalm text and an upper voice singing the chorale in long notes as a cantus firmus” , again totally unlike Italian models. Furthermore, neither solo is preceded by a recitative, something Bach commonly did in his later, Italian-opera influenced cantatas.

[@herrickinman9303]

@@brabantstraat Arias and recitatives were being used in Italian opera in early 1600s, generations before Bach was born. There are different kind of arias, and not all of them are da capo. An arioso is still an aria. (Bach often uses the term _arioso_ for an aria whose text is biblical rather than poetic.) The fact that a cantus firmus is added, doesn't disqualify the movement as an aria. The addition of the sung cantus firmus merely turns the solo aria into an aria duet. In the 1710s, German church music composers (not just Bach) started using poetic texts that were suited to fit the da capo aria format, and composers started using the expressive devices of opera, not merely the forms. There was a debate among the Lutheran clergy as to whether operatic devices were suitable for church music; the advocates won out.

[@brabantstraat]

@@herrickinman9303 if you actually listen to those two “arias”, they bear almost no resemblance to anything an Italian opera composer would do. Merely adding a sporadic chorale accompaniment to the main voice does not make it a “duet”. It’s like saying a car and a bicycle are the same thing because they both have wheels.
