Likes and dislikes are irrelevant. There is absolutely no doubt about the level of sublimity of the composition, singing, playing here. Even the last few bars of it are enough to reveal the sorrow and triumph of that very moment related in this movement. Knowing that is enough for me. Thank you for your appreciation. I also share the sentiment about Scholl. He is by far one of the best Bach interprets who understand and get into the spirit of his music.
I'm sure the person who voted down was just in such a hurry to click on thumb-up that his/her finger flew on the wrong button.... :) NOBODY CAN DISLIKE any of Andreas' singing With all the terrific talent we have around us (lucky us!), he still is one of my alltime-best-loved singers - world wde. Thank you Eser, for your careful work - it's even more amazing to see the score AND hear the singer/musician... Peace - even to the 'tumb-downer' :)
Very helpful, but the score doesn't exactly correspond to the version and ornaments used by Scholl :). (noticed it because I am working on this air myself). However, this vid is very useful for study purposes : keep up the good work!
alto clef is stupid, considering the range of this aria. treble clef works just fine! However, I cannot find any fault in your choice of recording. It's difficult for Andreas to be anything but sublime.
