BCA001 BWV61 Cantata for 1st Sunday in Advent Richter 1970-71

[@flavio_7364]

No one directs Bach like Karl Richter. Unsurpassed, unequalled after 50 years.

[@TheGreensticker]

Richter is a master of Bach rhythm. Thank you for sharing

[@Reino_X]

Öffne dich has perfect tempo. I love the sensual violincello ❤️, may this masterpiece sing for us forever!

[@georgesmelki1]

Some will tell you that Bach's music did not sound like that in Bach's time. Maybe it's true, but who cares? This is how I heard it for the first time, this is how I find it the most satisfying, and this is what matters! And to hell with "authenticity "!

[@jeanparke9373]

Ditto, sir! I've heard 40 mediocre versions of "how exactly Handel wanted" Messiah and I'm totally fed up with the "historically informed" performers. HIP these days is a very solid asylum for the mediocre players who still want to gain some money, relying on the political correctness. Legends like Richter, Gould, Szeryng, Casals are so dearly missed today...

@@jeanparke9373 I cant bear Gardiner and his bouncy-bouncy dance tempi for everything with an excessive downbeat every measure. Herreweghe is a bit better, but still goes for the bouncy style and thin forces.

[@jeanparke9373]

​@@afritimm Gardiner who? Oh, that loser who punched his colleague singer in the face on stage? I NEVER listen to his recording. "Bouncy" is too gentle a word. I'd say "sickening"

[@vinniecoelho]

Definitely the HIP movement lost track of what truly mattered, which is what Harnoncourt, Leonhardt and Jacobs started. Gardiner is definitely awful in his Bach recordings. However, there are great HIP ensembles doing a beautiful job. Bach Collegium Japan, Netherlands Bach Society and Bach Stiftung to name a few, these guys are doing a great job. It's a different approach than Richter, but still beautiful and very well played. And isn't that what matters at the end of the day?

Je unerträglicher das Leben wird, desto besser ist der Drank ist geboren an der Musik von J.S. Bach zu wenden !!! Tepper Michael.

[@user-mh5hd2cm5p]

El tempo es perfecto, tan solemne, las otras versiones que he escuchado son demaciado rápidas, casi parecen danzas.

[@filitobrown5473]

Otra que no transmite tanto, pero transmite, es la versión de Harnoncourt.

[@Reino_X]

I know right?

[@kniazigor2276]

Quand rien ne va et qu'on est au bout du bout, une seule médecine : Bach par Richter !!!!!

[@sheldonbazinga3985]

Complètement d'accord avec vous. Mais peut-être inutile d'attendre d'être au bord du gouffre pour s'en servir comme médecine... Un peu chaque jour devrait éviter d'en arriver là...

[@richardstark5569]

Wie stark ist nicht dein Zauberton, Herr Bach!!!

[@fraenkelmarion1866]

Bien sûr ce n est pas "historiquement informé" mais qu' est-ce que c'est beau!

[@afritimm]

Correct. And we dont still have boys pumping the wind box of the organ either!

[@Reino_X]

My translation: Now come, the savior of the heathen, recognized the virgin's child, The whole world wonders God ordered such birth to him. The Savior has come Has our poor flesh and blood In itself And accept us as blood relatives. O most high God, What have you not done to us? what don't you do to yours every day? You come and leave your light Shine with full blessings. Come, Jesus, come to your church And give a happy new year! promote the honor of your name, Get the sound teaching And bless pulpit and altar! behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and sup with him, and he with me. open up, my whole heart, Jesus comes and moves in. Am I just dust and earth Doesn't he want to despise me? to see his pleasure in me That I will be his home. O how happy I shall be! Amen, amen! Come, you beautiful crown of joy, don't stay long! I was waiting for you with longing.

Je trouve ce tempo trop lent

[@sheldonbazinga3985]

Si c'est trop lent c'est que vous êtes trop jeune

[@J3th973]

Richter interprète très lentement, mais pas de manière étiré ou ennuyeuse. Au contraire, ce tempo lent permet l'intensité et la force de sentiment incomparables qui caractérisent les interprétations de Richter. Je trouve aussi le numéro 5 un peu long. Mais aussi parce que la soprano Edith Mathis ne me convainc pas.

[@afritimm]

I find most modern performances far too fast and bouncy with threadbare resources. Richter is a perfect combination of Baroque clarity with weight.
