J.S. Bach - Andreas Scholl sings cantata BWV 170 "Vergnügte Ruh" (J.S. Bach Foundation)

[@euledj79]

unbelievable....Scholl is even better now than on his recordings during the 90th´s. The one and only real Countertenor alive. It´s only Scholl whom I would prefer over a good female alto. His stunning, intelligent interpretation and his legato in "Wie jammern mich doch..." is out of this world. He´s a miracle, a living legend!

[@Motty1066]

The most beautiful thing anywhere. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@pedroluzdivina2355]

The first aria seems to come from another world... Bach has an unusual intelligence. He is a true music scientist. Thanks for sharing.

100 % Bach and Scholl. Simply the best .

[@LindaPgh]

Scholl is just as wonderful as everyone here says. I cannot imagine this cantata sung more beautifully in heaven. But I am also in love with Rudolf Lutz, whose elegant, restrained, expressive and sympathetic conducting is engaging every player in the orchestra in a deeply-felt performance. His take on the opening siciliana is particularly lovely. Gotta hear this group live as soon as possible. It's an emergency!

[@Bachstiftung]

Thank you very much for your message. We still have places available for the upcoming cantatas. If you are in the vicinity, please feel free to contact us. www.bachstiftung.ch

[@EcotechLaptopsLtd]

and here he ties yet another master piece, giving it a fresh vibe with exception arrangement and singing. love it, please my dear youtube algorhytm, feed me more with these exceptional vocal jewels.

[@miguelrode]

Love the way he delivers the recitatives - from memory and looking intently at the audience, as if preaching. That's the true nature of cantata recitatives, but very seldom done in that way.

[@soundknight]

Stunning voice, one of the best of all time.

[@tomilopes]

Unfortunately for all Scholl admirers (among which I count myself), the nasal element that, at the beginning of his career, used to creep in only at his top range (which anyway was higher than the average countertenor in those (pre-David Daniels) days)) has spread and increased to the point of forcing him, when trying to project more, to resort to the kind of reedy or metallic sound associated with voices like Dominique Visse and such. It's sad for me to say, and I'm almost certain it's not the result of any technical flaw or overstrain of his fault, but refusing to hear it doesn't make it less of a fact. Still, his expressiveness and musical intelligence remain unquestionable.

[@lokmanmerican6889]

@@tomilopes Very interesting. Though I'm entirely captivated by Scholl's singing, I'd like to learn more of what you said; is there another voice you can recommend that does not have this nasal , reedy effect, for comparison?

[@tomilopes]

@@lokmanmerican6889 You are perfectly right to appreciate Scholl's SINGING, as I do, since a beautiful timbre is only one ingredient among others that make a great singer. I confess to being seduced by that ingredient more than I should (Callas is the classic example of a fabulous artist whose timbre is not to everybody's taste). Moreover, changes to the voice that result from the mere passage of time (as opposed to old age, which is definitely NOT Scholl's case, of course!) in good singers who don't misuse it (as IS his case) is just a bit of bad luck, but, as we can hear in this cantata, have little or no impact on the other aspects of fine singing. The "KZbin alternative" suggested by Gerd Wund - Alex Potter in the same cantata - is entirely adequate: a warm, rounded voice (some may say not bright enough, too veiled; not I!.the same might be said of Scholl in his prime, as a a good thing, not a bad one). Anyway, the best comparison for my point would be with Scholl himself, his live St Mathew Passion with Veldhoven (on Chanel Classics) but especially his first Harmonia Mundi recordings (German cantatas, Lute songs), until the one of this very same Cantata coupled with BWV 35, with Herreweghe. I just wished that people who are fans of a singer wouldn't become deaf to their idol's less positive points when or if they appear, instead of going on as if nothing happened (perhaps it's not conscious, but it's false anyway). Just a personal note from someone who's studied and experienced a lot of singing: the most beautiful countertenor voice I have heard, and probably will ever hear, was Gérard Lesne. Such a pity for his many admirers that he decided so soon to dedicate himself to the lesser known Italian and French repertoire and avoid Bach or Handel (his English is terrible, it's true - witness his Byrd and Dowland, but he could improve it if he wished to). I can only dream of Erbarme dich or Es ist volbracht sung by him... Fortunately, his younger countryman, Damien Guillon, seems to have inherited something of Lesne's voice, and is singing plenty of Bach!

[@Currabell]

Adore this man's singing for years now. He is simply remarkable. Such great musicality.

Somehow I've not heard this cantata before now. It's now among my favorites. The calm melodies, sung solo by the incomparable Scholl, strike deep into the heart. Even the recitatives--my least liked part of cantatas (call me a fair-weather Bachite) were beautiful.

Pour les nombreux fans francophones de la Fondation Bach Suisse, ci-après, quelques précisions. La Fondation Bach Suisse s'est donné comme objectif d'enregistrer l'intégralité de l'oeuvre vocale de Bach en respectant le calendrier liturgique. Elle s'en donne le temps puisque le projet est prévu sur une durée de 25 ans. Chaque concert est précédé d'une introduction, liturgique par un pasteur et musicale par Rudolph Lutz. L'oeuvre est toujours donnée deux fois dans la soirée avec un spécialiste qui en explique le contexte musical et historique entre les deux interprétations. Le contexte du projet est assez différent de celui de la Fondation Bach néerlandaise qui, elle, produit plus mais s'est donné pour ambition d'enregistrer l'intégrale de l'oeuvre de Bach. Voilà deux initiatives géniales, merveilleuses et complémentaires. Ici le grand contre-ténor Andreas Scholl interprète la cantate BWV 170 pour alto et orchestre. A noter l'excellente flûtiste et l'acoustique du même tonneau de l'Eglise Évangélique de Trogen (canton d'Appenzell). Le titre de la cantate BWV 170 est "Vergnügte Ruh" c'est à dire : Bienheureuse paix, bien-aimée béatitude (pour la liturgie du sixième dimanche après la Trinité de l'année 1726). La musique correspond parfaitement au titre...
