J.S. Bach--Matthäus-Passion--29. O Mensch, bewein dein Sünde groß

29. Chorale
Flauto traverso I/II, Oboe d'amore I/II, Violino I/II, Viola, Continuo
O Mensch, bewein dein Sünde groß,
Oh man, bewail your great sin,
Darum Christus seins Vaters Schoß
For this Christ from his father's bosom
Äußert und kam auf Erden;
Went forth and came to earth
Von einer Jungfrau rein und zart
Of a virgin pure and gentle
Für uns er hie geboren ward,
He was born here for us,
Er wollt der Mittler werden,
He was willing to become the mediator
Den Toten er das Leben gab
To the dead he gave life
Und legt darbei all Krankheit ab,
And in this way put aside all illness
Bis sich die Zeit herdrange,
Until it came to the time
Dass er für uns geopfert würd,
That he would be sacrificed for us,
Trüg unsrer Sünden schwere Bürd
bear the heavy burden of our sins
Wohl an dem Kreuze lange.
For a long time indeed on the cross.

I like the way he guides the younger choristers so expertly

Astonishing performance! He conducts as an angel that came from the presence of the allmighty God!

This is the two dvd set of Bach's St.Matthew Passion (concert film version Deutsche Grammophon) featuring the Munich Bach Choir, Munchener Bach Chorbuben, Munich Bach Orchestra conducted by Karl Richter filmed on May.15,1971

[@angelosilva4051]

Karl Richter ancora una volta il più grande di tutti in Bach ma non solo Bach nella sua vita di musicista tra i più grandi di ogni tempo.Richter fu grande direttore ed interprete anche con Bruckner,Brahms e Schumann ,Beethoven e Mendelsoohn e con Verdi.Grandissimo.
