What an extraordinary conception is the duet, with its spiky, restless obbligato and smooth restful vocal lines. No surprise that there is a matching contrast in the text: The poverty that God takes upon Himself, has destined an eternal salvation for us, an abundance of heavenly treasures.
Wonderful performance! What particular thing that I love in this cantata is how the ascending chromatic line is passed from the voices, to the violins and lastly to the continuo in the latter half of "Die Armut, so Gott..."
Someone once said that Wagner (a composer I cannot stand) had wonderful moments but terrible half hours. As proven here, by this superb performance, Bach had magnificent whole works!
I think it was the first day of Christmas, and because it´s a cantata from the year of choral cantatas it is from the beginning of Bach´s time in Leipzig, not from the end.
Habe ich da was an den Ohren oder sind die Timpani verstimmt? Aber wahrscheinlich liegt es auch an der eher problematischen Akustik dieser Kirche. Ansonsten wie immer grandiose Interpretation.
In the duet the soprano would do better to sing what Bach actually wrote at a higher level rather than inserting rubbish ornaments. Listen to Grace Davidson sing the aria so much better with Herreweghe.
Ganz herzlichen Dank! Wünsche Ihnen Gesundheit und Gottes Schutz und Segen. Viele liebe Grüße 🤗 🙏🌟🦉

cantata pregevole eseguita in modo meraviglioso il duetto soprano- alto ipnotico . mille grazie .
Wonderful Music from my favourite choir.
that soprano/alto duet was fantastic! Great piece, thanks for sharing
Smuk og velklingende musik og rigtig flot solo- og korsang. Nydeligt......
Perfection as usual. Thank you!
Mästerligt musicerande av samtliga i duetten mellan sopran och alt!🎉❤
I absolutely love the duet aria, I love it when bach distributes the chromatic line on B part to all instruments, including the continuo.
I love the duet! The alto line seems so utterly natural and easy, dictated by the chromaticism.
This is heavenly music !
Ich bin Herrn Lutz so dankbar, dass er für den Altus keinen Countertenor besetzt hat.
Wie immer, ausgezeichnet !
Heavenly music! Thank You Jesus!!

Mooie cantate van Bach, mijn lievelingscomponist.
I consider Bernhard Berchtold, the best tenor today!
At least for Bach cantatas!
Wonderful, thank you from Canada. Bernhard Berchtold echoes Peter Schreier's sound.
So beautiful. 🎧

The saying is attributed to Rossini.
Pretty much everything Bach touched turned to musical gold
Wonderful and wondrous
Very, very, very nice
The moment 50, 001 Prozent Hoffnung💦
Cantata for the second day of Christmas. Composed at Leipzig around 1744.
I think it was the first day of Christmas, and because it´s a cantata from the year of choral cantatas it is from the beginning of Bach´s time in Leipzig, not from the end.

Gelobet=praise and vow one's self to Christ

Came here looking for women singing the women's parts!
?Die himmlische Duett klingt bis fer n Asien!!!!!

We thank you for your personal assessment.
