    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.

      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

    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.

      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.)

    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!

      @domainofthesun4400 4 года назад +5

      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.

    • @staffanolofsson8201
      @staffanolofsson8201 4 года назад +5

      @@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!

    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.
