Hotter himself regarded this as one of his very best recordings & I am in TOTAL agreement. Rarely has his voice been as beautiful as here. No unsteadiness as one sometimes finds in the singing of his heavier opera repertoire. A couple years before this he recorded some Schubert Lieder among which is the simple but exquisite AM BACH IM FRÜHLING which one can only find the notes for in Schubert’s Complete works. I could not find this wonderful Lied in any of the other Schubert collections, however this was a while back so more recent volumes have hopefully included it.
A musical inspiration with superb phrasing and voice coloration . A perfect rendering of the text with the appropriate diminuendo and legato and with an inner interior conversation ideal for this cantata. This interpretation is very touching especially because Hans Hotter diminishes his huge voice into an intimate musical moment. This interpretation is an experience with expressiveness and immediate emotion. "The mode of consciousness by which we come into contact with the Being, is intuition" to paraphrase Husserl. Thank you for posting this wonderful document !
Certainement la plus belle interprétation de cette oeuvre jamais enregistrée.
Sweet music for the soul, paired with a powerful but soft voice, sensitive to the demands of this much-sung cantata.Thank you!
Wonderful performance, with a truly religious feeling as it should be sung; and thank you for displaying the movements' names.

Hans Hotter is the finest wine aged in the finest barrels.

Hans Hotter now joins Dame Janet Baker and Gérard Souzay as my favorite singers in this cantata.
I hear some Erbarme Dich in the melody

c'est divin et pourtant je ne suis pas croyant
이곡은 베이스 음색이 더 잘어울림
donc de tels hommes ont réellement existé ?
