"Ich habe genug" BWV 82_Quasthoff,Thomas_Audio

[@DG133-s5f]

Ich hatte das Glück, ihn im Petri Dom zu Bremen mit dieser Aria live hören zu dürfen. Ich zittere heute, noch wenn ich an die anschließende Stille und Ergriffenheit denke. Seine Interpretation geht unter die Haut - und darunter liegt die Seele.

[@claudiolehmann775]

Outstanding singing by Thomas Quasthoff and orchestra particularly the oboe.

[@NihilNominis]

I keep listening to this, over and over again. This brief passage of German has changed my life.

[@thomasbulgrin5899]

As an instrumentalist married to a singer, I've heard tons of vocalists and have some definite likes and dislikes. One of my wife's student's loaned her this CD. I had just come home and she said I had to listen to this. Now. Over and over. Had to immediately run out and buy it (takes a lot to get me to do something like that). I can't think of a more perfect combination of instrumental playing (Albrecht Mayer is like the voice of God on oboe), ensemble, and singing. Beauty incarnate. All of the sadness and hope in this world rolled into one piece of music. Others may have their favorite voice, but I just don't see how anyone could possibly have anything mediocre let alone bad to say about this. One of my 5 desert isle recordings!

[@selloutasaurus]

gorgeous vocal & oboe performances!

[@jhvorotin]

Quastfoff's rendition is full of emotions. It comes from the depth of his soul. His own flow is magical! His timbre is velvet and his vibrato is subtle.

[@blipblip88]

One of the best interpretations of this most exquisite pieces of baroque music I've heard in a while. The Master would likely be pleased.

[@francesca7564]

Merveilleux Monsieur Quasthoff !!! "On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux" . ( Antoine de Saint Exupéry) Compliments et merci pour le post

[@alexandrevlad37]

Thank you Thomas Quasthoff .....

[@Jack45OG]

He's fabulous, especially in person. What a blessing this guy is. He appears somewhat irregularly but not infrequently in NY and I try not to miss a chance to hear his interpretations. He's even been at the Metropolitan Opera, if memory serve.

[@kerbal29anen]

Simply wonderful singing. The "band" is b****y good, too. I have been attempting to sing this for 35 years as a professional. Ohne Erfolg, muss ich zugeben.

[@JJKSeattle]

Terrific! Makes my heart sing!

[@lisanagomiero8142]

Una interpretazione insuperabile perché traspare un dolore intimo e nel contempo profuso all'umanità .

[@benjamincuevaseninde]

This aria belongs to Quasthoff himself. He's the incarnation of it. Who else could sing it that way ? NoOne. Remarkable. Beautiful.

[@franciscoespinozagamboa6490]

Otros "propietarios" de esta aria son Fischer Dieskau, Hans Hotter y Benjamin Luxon, este último con una muy dramática y particular versión

[@petergraham8681]

One of the reasons that I admire & love listening to Quasthoff in Bach are the great tempi which move gracefully along without being rushed whatsoever. His instrument during his career was exceptionally beautiful & his musicianship of the highest order. The 2 other singers that match his accomplishment, IMO, are Hans Hotter & William Sharp. All three have a unique approach to this music & Sharp should be better known than he is.

[@dunkenpoet]

This music is acctually on our crasy time!!!It must remember about our mission in world

[@miguelmunoz383]

This music is Above us. This poor lost World..., Bach brings us the perfect image of a heaven so wanted for the entire humanity.

[@sanjosemike]

I'm a militant atheist, but Quasthoff causes me to have doubts. It's not fair. sanjosemike

[@endhai]

Quasthoff himself said that music is his religion.

[@peasakrajt7464]

sehr gut

[@maxtanz]

grandissimo Mayer

[@roberto38766]

Que maravilhosa música! parabens pela postagem!

[@Dackelfreundin]

You´re so right! I hope that I can see him in December playing Bach, Telemann and Handel.

[@ThePinkpainter]

Sublime

[@ilbacioditosca]

I hope the media can find more disable people making music like Quasthoff. We need them.

[@jhvorotin]

haha! Bach is boring? He is a musical genius who could grasp the human soul. This piece involves many instruments and it's wonderful to hear them together. This is a sacred piece not opera. Hampson Tézier and Nucci are all opera singers and only sing secular songs sometimes.

[@podkivanok]

Great! This is the only version that can approach to that of Hans Hotter.

[@taviona]

Beautiful piece. I think King Crimson's "Starless" is inspired by this. The way the oboe accompanies the vocal part here is very similar to how the saxophone is treated in "Starless". I think the mood is quite similar as well.

[@Generalbum]

Hey Ilbacioditosca, I haven't said this version is wrong or right. I just want to pinpoint the fact that being disabled helps getting the support from the media (same thing for the blind Italian tenor), and being German helps being described as a pure genius (by the Germans).

[@patriciocueto]

Thomas Quasthoff...!!!

[@guimaul69]

I think Quasthof MAKES a carrer because he has a wonderful voice, which permits him to sing everything he wants to, and that extraordinary good... if you din't like the way he sings, I could understand, that's Geschmacksache, but writing that his carrer is due to his disability, it's not fare and not responsible... i don't like 100% of the things Quasthoff has sung but i admire the voice, his incredible technique and the music he puts in everything he makes from bach to jazzy thingies...

[@ilbacioditosca]

Quasthoff is supernormal voice, G1 to C5, inside of a to the Theater Colon in Buenos Aires with a superb acustic he sounded a big voice, anyway I heard him life in other rooms in the US and the effect is not the same. I am not German and I believe like Baremboim or Abbado he is a genius.

La prego, torni alle scene .

[@Generalbum]

Geschmacksache ! Gott sei dank gibt s Masterpieces by Verdi, Mozart, Berlioz, Rossini, die universal sind und überall geliebt.

[@Valentin0003]

Please give the articles were Abado and Baremboim speak about genius.....

[@Generalbum]

Roberto Alagna is not really french, I suppose, lives in London has a romanian wife. The music played in France or in the UK is not only coming from their national repertoire. Compare the programms from these two countries with those from Germany and you understand what means "open-minded".

[@jhvorotin]

In der Tat, Gott sei dank. Quasthoff was refused a place at the Conservatory of Hannover BECAUSE he was disabled. and yes, every country does that. Take Alagna in France which worships him.

[@ilbacioditosca]

If you want to choose a great version of this aria than Quasthoff, choose Hans Hotter, Dieskau. YOU don´t like the version ok, but to say that this version is wrong proves YOU are wrong.

[@MMbaritone]

That's it...

[@adelwijnverbiest9963]

The main merit for that, comes from Bach himself of course.

[@brisw28]

Agreed.

[@kristoppo]

Peter Kooy also is good

[@singingisall]

Try Matthias Goerne .... he is so much better with his soft voice....

[@chroboe]

Oh I know, I was replying to the person asking if he was gay.

[@qzrnuiqntp]

Take care of Hans Hotter, he could convert you ;)

[@christiangries1]

I fully agree! But among the living. T.Q. is second to none.

[@chroboe]

albrecht? no he is not.

[@rpcrazy]

lyrics are kind of ridiculous, but what a great piece of music.

[@endhai]

Why "ridiculous"? Did you were ever in such deep trouble and sorrow, more than you can fece, that you hoped for a better place to go? Call it heaven, paradise, nirvana or the next pub, no matter what, just anywhere outthere?! I know that feeling very well...

[@sharonmullins1599]

"My grace is sufficient for thee." When we come to the full understanding of that, we will finally be free.

[@Dackelfreundin]

not at all!

[@Generalbum]

Pretty boring and Quasthoff doesn't help much. I don't see any reason to cry or is it because he is German and sings Bach ? Compare with Hampson, Ludovic Tézier, Leo Nucci, u.a.

[@Valentin0003]

Not bad but I do prefer the Italians (even Bocelli), they have more "flow", more instinct for singing...

[@dondonoboe1]

you are gay?

[@JJKSeattle]

Reynato Resurreccion Yes. Intensely!
