Es ist vollbracht,
Das Leid ist alle,
Wir sind von unserm Sündenfalle
In Gott gerecht gemacht.
Nun will ich eilen
Und meinem Jesu Dank erteilen,
Welt, gute Nacht!
Es ist vollbracht!
C'en est fini,
Le chagrin est partout,
De notre état de péché,
Nous sommes justifiés en Dieu.
Maintenant je vais me dépêcher
Et remercier mon Jésus,
Bonne nuit, Monde !
Es ist vollbracht!
C'en est fini !
It is complete,
The pain is over,
We are from all our sinful ruin
In God restored to right.
Now will I hasten
And to my Jesus make thanksgiving;
World, fare thee well,
It is complete!

No doubt Bach is the finest composer ever. Those haunting dissonances and suspensions. And to think Bach rattled music like this off once a week as a job in addition to all the other works he composed. The period instruments really make it here, the lack of vibrato in the strings gives it such a static quality, I really cannot describe this in words. I am constantly amazed at the inventiveness of his arias, the number of combinations of instruments and voices. Here the oboe has a wonderful melody that either contrasts or blends with the vocal line, I don't know what to call it other than perfection. I am not even religious but I listen to his sacred works in complete wonder, the perfection of the words and music together, he gives such power and emotion to the words that somehow make me a believer. I just feel so lucky to be able to appreciate this music and almost feel sorry for those who have no idea it even exists.

I raise you Pergolesi! Stabat Mater vs all of Bach!

A wonderful performance indeed:-)) I suggest you also listen to Vikingur Olafssons piano transcription of this work. IMO It demonstrates both how well Bach’s music is suited for rearrangements and what a gifted musician Olafsson is. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdJ1YJx5ycWyonk.htmlsi=GdDJ93whPJ2HaWxv

I cannot believe I didn't know this incredible aria until now. So beautiful! Almost cried at the last modulation.

My fiancé staged a small performance of this cantata around Easter in the middle of the pandemic. It was absolutely haunting, the sheer elegic melancholy of this aria had really reduced all of us and the few listeners to snot and tears. Of course it resonated with most of us even more than it would have under normal conditions because of the horrific circumstances our world was in at that point. Thousands over thousands dying in anonymity, every day, the helplessness we all felt to change something meaningfully about it, the fear of a loved one becoming seriously ill or even dying. It was as if all the naked existential sorrow and pain around us was absolved into the pure, meditative, contemplative sweetness of this music. One remark about this performance: The tempo choice seems the only plausible one to me. If you'd do it faster, it hasn't quite the same impact. Well done!

Bravo - to all but particularly the incomparable bass baritone Stephen McLeod, who brings great depth and spirituality to Bach's beautiful liturgical music. Stephen McLeod's interpretations of St Matthew Passion are also sublime. Bravo and thanks to Les Ambassadeurs for posting this.

Lovely to hear the great Stephen McLeod sing this - his "mache dich" from the S.Matthew Passion is incomparable - and I really like his new look! So gentle, moving - looking forward to hearing more from this exquisite interpreter of liturgical-spiritual music. Bravo, Stephen!

Yes, his voice is amazing. Good to know his name. I always wonder what the oboe is doing. It is like another voice singing.

Bon jour, Les Ambassadeurs! That is one of the most beautiful things Johann Sebastian Bach ever wrote, in my opinion. And, as a Christian, it is even more meaningful when I think of the truth behind the music and the text.

Wonderful period performance at the right tempo of - yes - the absolute finest Bach aria for bass (just listen to that long G).

A truly wondrous occasion: a great and dedicated group of performers in top shape and form, giving their everything, in this one of lesser known and yet most moving Bach numbers, in the most ideal setting. Can it get any better than this?
