It is written: Psalm 92: 1 "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound."

The first time I heard this aria was at my father's funeral, since then it has been played at the funerals of my mother and her brother, my uncle, and I hope it will be heard at my funeral too. And this is one of the most beautiful versions I've ever heard. With Bach's BWV 208 it is extremely difficult not to overdo it by making too much of a show. But in this performance it is beautifully controlled or as Bach would certainly have admitted: 'In der Beschränkung zeigt sich erst der Meister'. These words may have been written by Goethe, but Bach himself is an excellent example of how that principle works.

Bach has always been praised for his contrapuntal skill and formal craft, but he is also one of the very greatest songwriters in the Western tradition. I don't think this is said nearly enough.

Keep in mind that he didn't write much of the lyrics to his songs. They were usually borrowed from older works, typically Lutheran hymns. In this instance, since it is a secular piece, the lyrics were written by German lawyer, scientist, and poet, Salomon Franck in collaboration with Bach.

This is the first Bach work I ever heard, at a young age, as a postlude as I was exiting the church as a choirboy. I remember it so vividly. It was played on a Casavant organ by Murray Rathbone, in St. Peter's Church, in Cobourg, Ontario. People who remark about all the grey hair in the audience forget about me, who followed Bach from my childhood.

Wonderful ornamentation in the voice. Everything from full trills to subtle vibrato to simple dynamic swells, and a gentle attack on the consonants. Really conveys the gentleness of this masterpiece.

Very lovely. I would say that the version where it's there is no lyrics and its just instruments and its left to interpretation of the soul as to how your heart wishes to apply that music is preferable with me personally, but this really puts a name to a face with the music and is an interesting change. Thanks for sharing this!

@alindmay
@alindmay 3 ай бұрын
Yes I understand your point. Note German baroque is different to italan or french baroque, its less ornamented. And as a German, Bach was against Opera, even German Opera. He wrote every style, just not Opera. He wrote for God, Soli Deo Gloria and never to enhance performers egoes. To sing or perform any instrument for Bach you have to forget yourself, its all for the music, the love, the perfection... and for God. Divas behaviour, shouting more than singing, excessive ornamenting often performed more for performers showoff than for aesthetical reasons is not what Bach liked. Well, thats just my humble opinion, anyway, everyone performs to his own and publics taste and situation and there is no absolute truth in art.
