A supremely lovely aria from a master of melody, G.P.Telemann.
Stich-Randall's singing inspires thoughts of the divine. As an adolescent, knowing little about classical music, I attended a performance of Mozart's Mass in C Minor, K. 427. I will never forget the impact of Stich-Randall's voice soaring over the music in the purest and most inspired tones. That was 60 years ago, and the memory of the performance remains with me to this day as a source of beauty and inspiration.
I'd a similar experience, although it was "virtual", i.e. a recording of the St Matthew Passion of Bach. Her voice was a revelation for me as a 17-year old, also 60 years ago!
Oh MY, am I envious! the first time I heard her voice was in the 70's, someone had a really good stereo system and was playing her singing the 2nd movement of Bach's Cantata 51 - the recitative! Much credit goe s to the organist's improv, but the full effect was absolutely transporting. Unearthly! And then it turned out she played a significant part in helping the Angelic Arleen Auger get a significant start in Vienna; such an incredible service to the history of performance!
Such a glorious voice! A rock solid technique. Singers today would be well advised to listen to this and take heed. We are indeed fortunate that Ms. Stich-Randall left us an extensive recorded legacy.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. What a find! I totally agree with your "unearthily beautiful" title. There were some who had issues with her vibrato but it's a brilliant asset to Telemann. At times she soars as if her voice has left her body. I know that sounds odd but I can't explain it any other way. She passed quietly last year in the small Connecticut town where she was born. Again, thank you for sharing this stunning treasure.
She was my favorite Mozart soprano, heard her in Vienna in the late sixties.
What an outstanding performance by a truly gifted soprano! A joy to hear again and again. Highest regards to the conductor, musicians, and the video producer!
I don't normally comment on TH-cam, but I just couldn't pass this up. This is unbelieveably beautiful music. And from G.P. Telemann! I've heard much of his works, but this aria is suprising, truly in a league of its own. The best part is that it honors the Lord.
Indeed a most magnificent recording. Everything Teresa Stich Randall did in 17th and 18th century works were truly master-recordings by a great artist. Heard her live here in my native Copenhagen many years ago, and her presence has remained intact ever since.
A phenomenal singer...Pure beauty in vocal expression...
God this is immensely beautiful. Thank you so much for posting this exquisite gem of music and her magnificent rendition is unquestionably sublime. it's the 4th time i hear it now and I can't bear how beautiful it is.
A sublime aria from a sublime singer. Telemann wasn't just about quantity -he wrote more music than anyone else in history -but this aria proves he was about quality as well.
about serving for God in the First Place Telemann was and is
Thank you so much, this is one of her best. that pure, flute-like velvety quality of the voice, that technical perfection. Only Stich-Randall, really ever had all that. She makes one one shiver
The most beautiful piece of musical conversation that I have ever heard. The yearning questioning of the spirit and soul of the present, with a capricious interlude; then - wow - "what" a creative possible reply - from that of eternity beyond. However you hear it, is amazing.
On voudrait que ces artistes ne meurent jamais. Le plus bel aria de Telemann, compositeur qui doit être redécouvert en totalité. Quelle merveille! 132 000 vues contre plus de 2 milliards pour Adèle ( par ailleurs très bonne chanteuse) voilà l'échelle de valeur aujourd'hui. Une leçon de musique, de phrasé et de musique baroque. Vous avez du blues à l'âme alors fermez les yeux et écoutez. Le monde invisible des esprits est proche de vous.
très beau
C'est vraiment très belle, j'irai à la chanter ce Noël :) Excusez-moi pour mon français :)
Pierre, ces artistes ne meurent jamais. Et chacun va au ciel à son rythme. Que les ouvriers de la 11ème heure soient payés le même prix que vous, que vous importe?
Vous pouvez aussi écouter l'ode à Ste Cecile (Haendel), ou encore mieux, le laudate dominum des vêpres solennelles d'un confesseur (Mozart) je ne crois pas avoir entendu sons plus angéliques!
J’admire beaucoup vos beaux sentiments. Merci!
Absolutely my favorite soprano living or past.
i have heard this over 20 times tonight and... i can't tire of it. this is so very beautiful. otterhouse, once more i can't thank you enough for your posting. i wonde if that lp is available at all in cd form. thank you so much, you have a friend in mexico now.
This is the track that helps to define Beauty.
What a voice
Merci MERCI ! UN MILLION de fois MERCI pour avoir mis cet air sublime que je ne connaissais pas par cette voix incomparable ! C'est un goût de paradis !
This is absolutely stunning. Thank you, thank you for sharing this with all of us.
I try to watch and listen to this each night. Prior to sleeping
La voix exceptionnelle de Teresa Stich-Randall fait une fois de plus des merveilles !
What a stunningly beautiful piece of music!
Rolf, thank you very much for digitizing and posting this soothing balm for the troubled soul. I can very well imagine that Bruno Walter, who spoke of the importance of a "human quality" in singing voices, must have loved S-R's voice. She has in the soprano register what Ferrier had in the contralto, and Janet Baker in the mezzo. Warmth and sincerity. Just glorious singing. And frankly, I didn't know Telemann has such moving music in him! Must explore more!
The voice of an angel...........
*Exquisite, poignant, sublime.*
Absolument fantastique cette voix et oui je vais dans le sens de Pierre, Telemann est un génie et doit être redécouvert. Merci à Teresa Stich-Randall
I also love these singers you spoke of and feel just as you do about these marvelous soloists, especially Janet Baker. It's the soul, that is singing and overcoming all boundaries.
thank you for this posting. the first recording i had as a teenager of the Bach Mathew Passion was with Teresa Stich-Randall----to this day i'm grateful to have heard it sung that way.
We were privileged to see her wth Luigi Alva in Don Giovanni at Aix-en-Provence in 1966. What a treat.
Elle a joué aussi La creation de Haydn a LYON dans le 71. Les miracles sont parfois une realité, Dieu merci. J'ái eté là!
This Lady really had what we may call a *great* voice.
Her talent, fortunately is largely "engraved" for History and the benefit of future generations' music lovers.
The best version of it that I know!!! Thank you so much! ❤
J. S. Bach liked this melody so much, he borrowed it for one of his own pieces.
Thank you. Total beauty.
Everyone thinks it is Schwarzkopf issuing the ravishing sounds on the Columbia Rosenkavalier - you have confirmed my suspicions. Truly glorious and pure voice. Thanks, Otterhouse!
Thank you so much - I do not think one can have enough of Miss S-R's artistry, as another said her instrument at times is almost exquisitely painful in its beauty when you add in her technique and her interpretative qualities she has produced some staggering recordings. She also seemed to retain the wonderful fresh quality to her voice well into middle-age. Lovely
Many thanks for uploading this beautiful gem .
The most beautiful piece of music I ever heard!
What an angelic sound ... Thanks for posting this ... Stich is one of my favorites,
and not a lot of her recordings have made it to CD.
First thing by Telemann I've ever liked. Thank you, Rita. This is actually a very beautiful piece for voice.
May I recommend this? th-cam.com/video/7vggphTAfD0/w-d-xo.html
@@auster120 Wow, thank you. That is fantastic. I listened to it three times straight. Couldn't get over how good this ensemble is, and all at the right pitch. You're a good friend.
@@abirdthatflew Thanks! it's true that not everything of Telemann reaches these heights, and that he has quite a lot of repetitive music, but, sometimes he seems inspired by God.
@@auster120 May I repay the complement:

Excellent! You did a masterly job of transferring this beautiful music to digital form.
Truly beautiful voice sing a beautiful Telemannaria
Truly beautiful voice singing a beautiful Telemann aria
Wonderful!
Truly beautiful and so apt to thank you for sharing. Also wishing you a Happy Easter. I was looking for something special to send to a friend.❤ This is perfect. Thank you again for continuing to share these gems with us!!❤
This is stunning. There is a video here on YT of the "Non mi dir" from Aix en Provence in 1962 with Luigi Alva, and she does things with the music that I'm likely never to hear again.
VERY BEAUTIFUL:)))
Bela aria e parte instrumental. A voz de Teresa é belíssima!
truly magnificent and other worldly.........
Thank you! Thank you, thank you. Her singing in Mozart and the Baroque repertory was often almost painfully beautiful, it pierced so deep... Exquisite...
PRISTINE VOICE!!!
Thank you for posting this gem for us to listen to over and over. Again: Thanks.
Thank you! Gives me goose bumps!
Jesu, komm in meine Seele,
lass sie deine Wohnung sein.
Treib aus ihr der Sünden Wust,
Ehre, Geiz und Fleischeslust,
gönn ihr deiner Gnaden Schein.
Jesu, come into my soul,
Let it be your dwelling place.
Shift away from it all sin,
Prizes, avarice and lust,
Grant it all your grace's shine.
Utterly beautiful. Thanks for posting, Otterhouse. I guess you must have listened to her 'Sophie' in Der Rosenkavalier. (Karajan+ Schwarzkopf+Ludwig) I fell in love with her beautiful singing there; and now your clip is equally sublime.
Kippenvel muziek. De muziek, de stem van Stich-Randall... alles van een adembenemende schoonheid.
My parents still have this LP somewhere at home (or maybe one of my brothers took it). It was my absolute favorite when I was a child (I'm going on 50 now).
I used the choral "machtet die Tore weit" for my wedding mass. I found it somewhere on a cd by different performers, but it doesn't reach the quality of this recording and these beautifull voices by far. Thank you for sharing.
Sublime, où sont nos baroqueux, fort loin à force de tout laminer!
New TH-cam member here. I discovered Stich-Randall in 1963 while a poor student scouring records like Nonesuch, Westminster, Music Guild -the lack of gliding to notes and minumal vibrato was sublime. Not really an opera fan but have most of her baroque stuff like cantatas, and a rare CD release of her doing Bach cantata 51 and Mozart's Laudamus Te/Exultate Jubilate which I may post. The Handel Ode to St. Cecelia's Day is exceptional also (I still have an UNOPENED record of this!)
beautiful and moving
lindas operas liricas imortais
around 1817 Mendelssohn had convinced his audience J.S.Bach was world's greatest composer - after a standing ovation for this cantata ...
Eversince it was shown to be Telemann's, people don't pay attention to it anymore or keep on arguing it's not as good as Bach.
It is a very beautiful video. I love very much this video the song and the singer. Thank you
🙌
@redbrian3655 exactly! I was preparing the premiere /live recording of Telemann's Last Passion 1767 with Capella Aurora, chose people who COULD SING first, then a baroque orchestra. 1st air there, I discovered it indicates the tempi: to be very slow! Telemann was a pioneer of the "Verlangsamung"the slow down of tempi!!! Also Kurt Redel's Markus Passion, best performance of that work ever, shows how baroque performers are correct in many ways, but sometimes just pass the essence
Wunderschöne Musik !!
wonder-wonder-wonderful
Wolfgang Amadé
Really beautiful aria. Thanks otterhouse. I've liked Telemann for a while but haven't listened to that much of his music. I really need to pay him a lot more attention.
beautiful......
Fantastic!! Grazie for posting this :)
She's has that rare artistic quality of restraint.
I love this,
@ otterhouse:
you are completely right -> this aria is unearthly beautiful!
I didn't know neither the aria, nor Theres Stich-Randall before. I want to thank you for this video! :-)
Those high notes,pulls at something inside you.
Great!
Awesome
❤️❤️❤️🙏
Reminds me of the voice of Kathleen Ferrier, also an angelic voice
Wow. An aria which was new to me. (ought to be sung more. Almost sounds like Bach.) And absolutely wonderfully sung by this overlooked soprano! (wonderful oboes too.)
thanks for posting this artifact of early 'early music' performance. for truly unearthly beautiful singing, check out her 'sophie' in the presentation of the silver rose from strauss' opera 'der rosenkavalier'.
wow che stile!
I bought this recording on vinyl in the 1980's from Tower Records in Seattle near the University of Washington. I think it was on the Vox label. Vox had some very good recordings at a budget price!
@Bertarido WELL SAID! As a musician, I have to work with the people I have!. It is more important for me to get the message to 21st-century ears, than to stop and think "What would Telemann have done or heard?" Like all musicians, he wrote for his time. TG that music is eternal and knows no dates or bounds. In the 1960s, the performances then were as historical as musicology knew. 1990s already can be considered outdated... so what! We throw them out??? No way. Closed minds see no light.
epic, i continue to listen to this aria over and over. with the translation you provided even more beautiful. thank you so much. wust? disorder? mass? no matter, makes perfect sense as disorder. be well and blessed. au re-ecrire.
@anisuthideyakoindu Very well said on the "verlangsamung" issue. I was taught to "milk" the phrase for all it is worth, not to "whiz" through it like fireworks on display. I am sure that in twenty years these "historically"-informed performances of 2011 will have their detractors. Violinist Julia Fisher is quoted: "I play 18th-century music for 21st-century ears!"
epic, thank you so much for your translation. it makes beautiful sense. i know that geiz is untranslatable almost. thank you once again so very much. until soon. ciao.
Yet, it gave actually more attention to the matter than otherwise... :) Even Norman Lebrecht put a message on his blog. Anyway, the decision has been postponed till the end of october 2008. So people, please support the Concertzender! And send a mail to say "please don't pull the plug from the Concertzender". It would be such a (undeserved!) pity if the ego's of other radiomanagers would be more important then a good radio / internet channel...
Greetings,
Rolf
what glorious music, and what a magnificent interpretation. translation?
Thank God for TH-cam! I mean that literally. Google, I love you.
Ik wist niet dat Telemann zoiets moois had in zijn oeuvre.
Subliem en Bach's evenknie in deze aria.
@lilplmblsm Imagine hearing classical music of this sort coming out of a college dorm room! Today, it just would not happen. Even by the 1980s, it was rare.
I think u did a very good translation. there isnt any problem in it. alles ist in Ordnung ;)
Would you consider doing the same for her marvelous duet with alto Dagmar Hermann, Wir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten, from Cantata BWV 78, Jesu, de du meine Seele (Prohaska)?
Beste Hans Verschoor, je kunt hem ook downloaden als je wilt
Jesu, komm in meine Seele,
Lass sie deine Wohnung sein.
Treib aus ihr der Sünden Wust,
Ehre Geiz und Fleischeslust,
Gönn ihr deiner Gnaden Schein.
Come into my soul, oh Jesus
Let it be Thy dwelling-place.
Drive away the mass of sins,
Envy, greed and lust of flesh,
Grant to it Thy shine of grace.
do you happen to have the lyrics to this aria? and a translation to english maybe? let me know. i tried google and it didn't work. au re-ecrire.
better then me
Telemann peut donc être bon !
Plus de fois que vous ne le croyez...
I'd try 'disarray' for Wust, though I'm not German;)
@DocSwi
Some people should really get rid of their narrowmindedness and accept great musical performances no matter if they are historically informed or not...
*shakes head in disbelief*
And they say there is no Heaven.......and dismiss the Lord of All creation
