I looked for the full version of this for hours already with no result. Can someone please give a link to it as Delphine Galou as the contralto? She is just phenomenal, no one I've listened to is even close in their performance!
There is no full version. Sorry for the time you spent searching for it. This single aria was recorded for a French TV program. I have edited the video, as there was some annoying voice-over, and I also had the clean recording of the aria (from the same session) as an audio file, so I combined the video file with the audio file, and I replaced with title slides the few seconds where the announcer was visible.
@@MehdiCapsII oh, I see. Thanks for answering I intended to search further. It's a shame, because this interpretation is just a masterpiece in my opinion. Thank you for answering and also for reconstructing and uploading this to youtube!!
Our biology teacher once opened this in the beginning of the class because everyone was sleeping and she just wanted us to wake up. It was everyone was so shocked lol. I love this song since then❤
I think here she sounds more like a mezzosoprano. I haven't heard her lower notes, but this really tastes like great mezzosoprano. Look at her hisher notes - they sound light!!!
I am not a Christian or any of the Semitic religions. Listening to this Bach composition one is taken away into bliss that no religion can provide on earth !
Yet Jesus Christ’s compassion to forgive our sins by dying and rising from the dead for us inspired Bach to write this. I can sense Bach’s deep awareness of Christ’s mercy in this Aria.
It is NOT THE BEST....it’s YOUR FAVORITE!!! Stop making these eternal pronouncements for everyone, it’s just WRONG. This is MY FAVORITE version, _and in my considered opinion,_ as a mezzo myself, this is the best I’ve ever heard: ruclips.net/video/aPAiH9XhTHc/видео.html
@@voraciousreader3341 nope... i was talking about the authenticity of german music , Julia Hamari sang in ungermanic way, very brooding, the tempo is too slow and quite robotic with precise voice control... while Galou was accompanied by period orchestra, she sang with artful carelessness and thats what captured the listeners, with elaborate storytelling dynamics, Galou made listeners cry but not Julia Hamari (to my ears) .. music is not about perfection, it needs to deliver in order to touch listeners heart & soul.
This is most definitely THE BEST rendition. Objectively as well as subjectively. Others might have a different opinion, of course. They have the right to be wrong.
Bach ist die direkte Verbindung zu Gott Vater ! Was für eine wunderbare Stimme D. Galou, diesen Text zu singen ist eine tiefe Andacht vor dem Herrn ! Vielen Dank !
Delphine Galou is simply magnificent and Roth’s interpretation of this Aria is in a class of its own! Drieux on the violin just adds an even greater heavenly touch to this performance. I have never heard something that reaches the heart and speak to the soul like this.
Ich höre 20-mal dieses Stück mit Galou auch im Andvetszeit 2024. "Roh" und und ein bischen naturalistisch, trozdem sehr sauber, Bodenständig, deswegen auch schön und sehr suggestiv! Klasse A1! Interpretation ist je nach Sängerin ist untershiedlich, also die Kunst ist Mehrdimensional.
Extraordinary diction, perfect Baroque uptempo, quiver rather than vibrato, hits middle-C solidly, authentic expression. Best performance of this aria on RUclips.
I’ve listened to this piece over 100 times and every time I cry, her voice is beautiful, the orchestra is beautiful, and most of all, Christ’s love for us on the cross is beautiful.
When this came on my iPad I felt as if I’d been hit with a sledge hammer! It was so beautiful, with both the singing and the orchestra! I’ve rarely heard anything as beautiful and the singer sang it so movingly! I felt I was being taken into another realm! Are there any other songs by this singer?
Isn't she a treasure? She is probably the most popular and successful classical contralto; a register which I think is underappreciated these days. Her voice is rich, dark, sweet, and smooth; like fine chocolate or polished mahogany.
I just had to park the car on the highway and consentrate 100 % to fully appreciate this lovely piece of music, the dedicated orchestra and wonderful voice.
+Emil Moestue Man I've been there - you have ears well-tuned to recognise it. And in case you didn't take in the background: this is the centrepiece of Bach's entire output of musically-set Christian philosophy.
Hello, You said that "this is the centrepiece of Bach's entire output of musically-set Christian philosophy." Are you reffering to this Aria or are you talking about the "Matthäuspassion" itself? Can you explain to me your point of view? Thank you very much for your appreciation!
This came on the radio in the morning whilst driving to work. I pulled into a filling station and sat there transfixed. It was followed by 'In Tears We Sat Down'. I drove slowly to work after that, my heart full of the beauty of Bach's music. Who are the sad individuals who 'disliked' this?
I'm agnostic. This aria makes me yearn for God, as does so much of Bach's work. I can't imagine life without this incredibly profound and moving music.
Vous avez parfaitement raison Rafik Baladi, équilibre exceptionnelle surtout que ces musiciens et la choriste ne sont pas avec nous, ils sont ailleurs...
Samuel Arthur After Bachs death, they forgot him long time too. Don't forget this please. Bach died on July 28, 1750. Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's re-performance of the St. Matthew Passion on March 11, 1829 in the Berlin Singakademie is an initial spark for the rediscovery of Johann Sebastian Bach's musical history.
Das ist die genialste und ergreifende Arie aus der Mathäuspassion. Bach ist und bleibt doch der größte Komponist aller Zeiten!! A Komponist aller Zeite

If perfection exists, this is it. If I had to choose my favorite music performance, this is it. I listened to the recording hundreds of times, literally, and did not get tired, just fell in love with the violinist, the orchestra, the conductor and of course, with Galou.
If I ever cried with music, it was 5 years ago with this piece .... out of this world violins and voice intertwined, immersed in unearthly deep sorrow ... ...
Its the way to express the feeling this music and this performance caueses "..unearthly deep sarrow.." thank you for the commenter as much as Bach and the performers
What makes this so perfect is that its actually interpreted correctly in the Baroque style. Not a ton of vibrato in either the vocalist or the orchestra. Melodies, harmonies and counterpoint perfectly balanced with a PURE tone, simply played and sung. And good LORD Delphine Galou has the voice of an angel. Her voice is SO round and full without being strained AT ALL. She maintains such perfect tone without covering it up with so much vibrato we see creeping in during the on coming Classical periods. Perfect balance between straight pure tones and vibrato. Her tone is SO fat you could land a 747 in it!
Thank you Wiggan for your gorgeous comment. You nailed it! Perpaps you listened to this last Easter? (one year ago), Now we for sure have a different situation, and perhaps we are prepared to rely a little bit more on this music and this way of thinking about our lives?
I find there is still too much vibrato for my taste ;-) . Also to be frank it seems to me she is producing a big beautiful sound but without much emotion. This song is expressive of the profoundest spiritual agony - it is a man weeping in intolerable anguish of remorse.
@@domainofthesun4400 It is OK with me. And in barock I also like a very little, nice, vibrato. I think there is a difference between big opera vibrato (which I dislike) and barock vibrato. One of my favourites is Emma Kirkby. And I think Delphine have the "right" barock vibrato, . But "without much emotion"? There I disagree. Happily we not always have to have the same opinion. Best wishes!
J'écoute Bach, mon vieux maître, depuis des années et des années… Je connais cette Passion et notamment son "Erbarme dich" de cœur, et pourtant, j'ai l'impression grâce à mademoiselle Galou et aux musiciens qui l'entourent de redécouvrir cette œuvre. Simplement juste et tendre et émouvant et sensuel. Quel travail cela doit représenter ! Merci mademoiselle Galou. Merci infiniment.
Erbarme dich, mein Gott, um meiner Zähren willen! Schaue hier, Herz und Auge weint vor dir bitterlich. Erbarme dich, mein Gott. Have mercy, my God, for the sake of my tears! See here, before you heart and eyes weep bitterly. Have mercy, my God.
as dutch speaker I was wondering abouth the right translation of the word erbarme in this context.Have merci translated to dutch means Heb genade,wich means dont kill me,save me (in case of a lost battle or something).If I look to the word erbarme I see that its a combinated word from the words erb and arme.erb into dutch means erf what means surroundings (deep translation).Arme means armen,part of the body. In my opinion the person is in her or his last hour and is scared for death and ask God for omarmen(dutch)embrace her /him
@@jwijn No, the word "Erbarmen" (noun) has no connection to "Arm" (the limb). The verb "barmen" is independent from this and means "to lament", "to show / feel sympathy". So "have mercy" is actually a good, close translation.
actually Bach was a very religious man. so it is not "far away from any religion" but directly inspired by his Lutheran Christian religion. a lot of his works are intended for the divine service of the Lutheran Church. (this one included.)
Bien sur ,c'est du Bach,on pourrait dire facile d’être dans le magnifique. mais la ,c'est vrai que l'émotion nous envahi , la chanteuse,le violoniste et l'orchestre véritablement au service de l’œuvre, avec cette humilité devant celle ci et la voix de Delphine Galou, douce et puissante a la fois. merci pour ce moment
pourquoi je n'arrive pas à ressentir quelque chose quand j'écoute ca ? pourtant en lisant des commentaires comme le tien , je me dis que ca a l'air magnifique. Mais ca ne me fait rien. Pourquoi nanard ? pourquoi sommes nous si différents?
It's my favorite rendition of this masterpiece. Galou's voice is warm, passionate, when most other renditions are flat or setback. She's powerfull and flickering at the same time, wich is remarquable. When I hear how she's imploring, my own voice knotted with emotion. In a way, this interpretation is very romantic. The coordination with the violin looks weak. But still, it never fails, it works. Because the play of the violonist is a perfect match for Galou's voice. I'm an atheist but I imagine that the protestant God, after the trap he set, would be much more convinced of Peter's beg if it's trembling, profoundly human.
This is the best performance I have ever seen or listened to, both the orchestra and particularly the solo violin, but it is the singer who nailed it - she makes it perfect by by her perfect singing. I absolutely love it, and I wish when I am dying they would do this once again for me.
Zoooo mooi dit, haar stem, het orkest, persoonlijk vind ik dit de mooiste uitvoering. Sinds 7 jaren...26 oktober 2014 stierf mijn bonusvader, sindsdien luister ik dit stuk regelmatig. Wonderlijk mooi, altijd ook n diepe snik in mn borst die opborrelt. Muziek 1 van de mooiste dingen die bestaan.🌷
There is no need for a heaven when there is the St Mathew Passion by Bach :) This singer has a lovely pure timbre to her voice which is generally only found in counter-tenors in my opinion. Excellent tempo too!
I am back again... for the third year in a row... who would have thought back in 2019 that listening to the yearly Eastern live performance of Matthäuspassion in the church might be the least possible thing to wish for... Thank God for Delphine Galou... I am not surprised this clip have 5,5 million views... I am personally responsible for quite a few of them :-D
Such a heart wrenching pain. In these precise five minutes and fiftyseven seconds we have the most overwhelming desperation man can feel. Tonight I was feeling so down I decided that I had to listen to this piece to express my pain. Needless to say, voiceless screams came out of my mouth, the sweetest tears out of my eyes. I never enjoyed suffering this much. Art has the power to give sense to humans' sorrow by mutating it into something so beautiful, it destroys you. But you somehow manage to enjoy it so much you immediately want to repeat the experience. Thank you, Bach.
@Nicoló Anzivino - Wow your comment was so powerful; it brought a tear to mine own eyes. I hope your suffering does not continue to this day. But it is good that you can take some refuge in the power of Bach’s music.

@@jwijn No, the word "Erbarmen" (noun) has no connection to "Arm" (the limb). The verb "barmen" is independent from this and means "to lament", "to show / feel sympathy". So "have mercy" is actually a good, close translation.
@@HaraldLieder Thank you for the correction.Sometimes its hard to say where a word comes from.For example stunde is not german origine
the tempo is perfect, so mournful, like crying...
God, through this piece of music I can find peace, perfection and pleasure.
Wunderbare Interpretation.Könnte ich immerzu hören!
This is by far the best performance of Erbahrme dich. A heartfelt prayer, this is sung from the heart 💓
Love this - enchanting and ravishing contralto !!!!!!!
This is something I thank life for.
Fabuleux, je ne cesse de le réécouter. L'interprétation est des plus juste violon, soliste et orchestre et la voix.... le tout magnifique.
Merci

Hearing Bach is confirming the real existence of divinity, far away from any religion.
So beautifully worded. I completely agree. His music is truly sacred and reaches a part of my heart & soul that nothing else can.
actually Bach was a very religious man.
so it is not "far away from any religion" but directly inspired by his Lutheran Christian religion.
a lot of his works are intended for the divine service of the Lutheran Church. (this one included.)
Great example of divine intervention indeed..
Bien sur ,c'est du Bach,on pourrait dire facile d’être dans le magnifique.
mais la ,c'est vrai que l'émotion nous envahi , la chanteuse,le violoniste et l'orchestre véritablement au service de l’œuvre, avec cette humilité devant celle ci
et la voix de Delphine Galou, douce et puissante a la fois.
merci pour ce moment
pourquoi je n'arrive pas à ressentir quelque chose quand j'écoute ca ? pourtant en lisant des commentaires comme le tien , je me dis que ca a l'air magnifique. Mais ca ne me fait rien. Pourquoi nanard ? pourquoi sommes nous si différents?
It's my favorite rendition of this masterpiece. Galou's voice is warm, passionate, when most other renditions are flat or setback. She's powerfull and flickering at the same time, wich is remarquable. When I hear how she's imploring, my own voice knotted with emotion. In a way, this interpretation is very romantic. The coordination with the violin looks weak. But still, it never fails, it works. Because the play of the violonist is a perfect match for Galou's voice.
I'm an atheist but I imagine that the protestant God, after the trap he set, would be much more convinced of Peter's beg if it's trembling, profoundly human.
Le recomiendo escuchar la versión de Julia Hamari.- También es excelente
A bit too fast, but an excellent rendition anyway.

The other slow ones make sleep. The tempo is kinda in the Goldilock's zone.
Maxime Le Heiget. Listen to Lorraine Hunt Lieberson
Pure perfection! Her contralto is stunning!

Divine Voice ☺

Stupefacente, inarrivabile, divino! Mi commuove, mi fa piangere, mi rapisce in una dimensione sovrumana! Erbarme dich, mein Gott
This is the best performance I have ever seen or listened to, both the orchestra and particularly the solo violin, but it is the singer who nailed it - she makes it perfect by by her perfect singing. I absolutely love it, and I wish when I am dying they would do this once again for me.
Viele danke, Marc D., wer immer Sie sind!
Bach definitely had a direct line to a higher power.
Abundance he had god's phone number
J.S. Bach IS the higher power !
Gerard - I don't think Emmanuel was being sacrilegious.
There's a saying in Germany that Bachs Music is the fifth gospel.
Johann Sebastian Bach: the fifth evangelist. Danke shöen.
she is absolutely faboulous as well as the orchestra !
No matter how many times I listen to this exceptional aria. Everything is better than the previous one.
Que divina voz , a melhor interpretação dessa música que já ouvi, bravíssimo diva...
Quelle musicalité dans cette voix ! Merci Delphine.
Have pity, my God,
for the sake of my tears!
Look here, how bitterly
my heart and eyes
weep before you.
Have pity, my God.
What a soul what a feeling what a pure beauty. Love Bach's music
I wish I could hit “like” every time I watch. This is supreme. This is above and beyond us.
Zoooo mooi dit, haar stem, het orkest, persoonlijk vind ik dit de mooiste uitvoering. Sinds 7 jaren...26 oktober 2014 stierf mijn bonusvader, sindsdien luister ik dit stuk regelmatig. Wonderlijk mooi, altijd ook n diepe snik in mn borst die opborrelt. Muziek 1 van de mooiste dingen die bestaan.🌷
Such refreshing graceful and enjoyable Aria and the strings. Matthäuspassion is a Sublime religious work.
Ich habe es oft gesungen. Aber so ergriffen hat mich kaum eine Aufführung. Du singst so wunderschön rein und klar.
What a beautiful voice...
Geige, Orchester und Gesang verschmelzen in einem sphärischen, universalem Klangvolumen, das tief in die Seele eindringt und zu Tränen rührt....
Ich mag Johann Sebastian Bach sehr .Es ist sehr schön.Erbarme dich unser mein Gott bitte !
There is no need for a heaven when there is the St Mathew Passion by Bach :)
This singer has a lovely pure timbre to her voice which is generally only found in counter-tenors in my opinion.
Excellent tempo too!
I suspect Bach would not agree with you. He did write religious music because he believed in what it said, after all.
Anthony McCarthy right
I agree there's no need for god! we have Bach and ourselves! not all of us though!
Great tempo and that is beautiful violin too. I would give just about anything to hear her sing Christ lag in Todesbanden.
*****
There is the music of Bach, therefore there was Bach.
Erbarme dich,
Mein Gott,
Um meiner Zähren willen
Schaue hier,
Herz und Auge weint vor dir
Bitterlich.
THANKS SO MUCH
Marvelous performance 👏🥲🙏🙏
I'm really in love with this performance!! It takes me to higher state of conscientiousness!! Wonderful !!
As a hardcore atheist it's hard not to doubt after listening to this sublime performance
I am back again... for the third year in a row... who would have thought back in 2019 that listening to the yearly Eastern live performance of Matthäuspassion in the church might be the least possible thing to wish for... Thank God for Delphine Galou... I am not surprised this clip have 5,5 million views... I am personally responsible for quite a few of them :-D
I totally agree with you. Delphine Galou's interpretation is superb.
Hermosa melodía inigualable estas si son músicas aptas para los que si saben lo que escuchan felicitaciones para todos aquellos que saben de lo bueno
❤❤❤❤
Have not heard this contralto before. Exceptional voice and to my ears, the right tempo for this amazing work.
I found this video by accident while searching for another song. What beautiful singing by Delphine Galou. How much do we need God's mercy!
Such a emotional song. It was played in church at my mother 's funeral. She loved the Mattaus Passion so much!
Such a heart wrenching pain. In these precise five minutes and fiftyseven seconds we have the most overwhelming desperation man can feel. Tonight I was feeling so down I decided that I had to listen to this piece to express my pain. Needless to say, voiceless screams came out of my mouth, the sweetest tears out of my eyes. I never enjoyed suffering this much. Art has the power to give sense to humans' sorrow by mutating it into something so beautiful, it destroys you. But you somehow manage to enjoy it so much you immediately want to repeat the experience. Thank you, Bach.
@Nicoló Anzivino - Wow your comment was so powerful; it brought a tear to mine own eyes. I hope your suffering does not continue to this day. But it is good that you can take some refuge in the power of Bach’s music.
@@emeegeeehen Thank you for your kind words. Let's all hope to find a moment of bliss and peace in this breath taking work of art.
