Tim Mead's performance makes me wonder about the true essence of Bach's composition: it was dedicated to God and to approach the audience to the divine, the feeling of being in heaven while I listen him might be musical illusions, but they usually save my day. :-)!
It seems to me as if Bach himself is spiritually present in the studio for this recording of a composition by the world's Master of Music that I have never heard until now...

Oh, how beautiful! Thank You, dear Lord, for the rest in Your presence sung about here. Thank You for inspiring Your servant, Johann Sebastian Bach, to use the talent You gave him to create this treasure.
Vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust, Dich kann man nicht bei Höllensünden, Wohl aber Himmelseintracht finden; Du stärkst allein die schwache Brust. Drum sollen lauter Tugendgaben In meinem Herzen Wohnung haben.
Absolutely amazing performance! I fell in love with it from the moment I first discovered it. Can't stop enjoying it over and over again... Congratulations!
Simply stunning - there are a lot of Counter Tenors on the market these days but only a few truly occupy the top spots. I don't know how I missed Tim but was blown away after hearing him on radio 3 this morning!! Of course studied with Robin Blaze - what else would you expect to hear ??!
The timing of having this particular recording appear is amazing ... one week past the sudden loss of my beloved father in law. This is a beautiful mark upon our time of healing.
That's 80% practice. Give it a try, with practice you can stretch your range up and control the timbre to a degree. I'm fortunate enough to have a naturally large range, but making it sound good requires practice. It's very rewarding for something that in itself is tons of fun.
Bach's music always takes us to a far better place. I don't know where it is located, but it is superior in all respects to the hellhole we actually must live in.
Rory, there is indeed a place "far better" (Philippians 1:23) than this world or any other. It is called heaven, the glorious throne room of God, where all sorrow and suffering will cease one day when Jesus Christ returns in the clouds with power and majesty. There is only one way, however, to gain access to heaven, to God, and that is through Jesus Christ, His only-begotten Son. He said, "I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6 Bach was a Christian and trusted Christ for his salvation; therefore, he could write with confidence about Jesus, His life, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and future return. He began his compositions with a plea "Jesus, help" and ended them with "Soli Deo Gloria" (To God Alone Be Glory).
@@lindacowles756 , but while we're here, we can enjoy Bach's glorious music. I am currently preparing this cantata myself and think it is just superb music.
I've not previously come across this singer. What a find! Sublimely beatifiul tone in full bloom. He just tends to smudge consonants at the end of phrases here and there but, hey, this vocal rendition is near perfection and accompanied by an excellent ensemble. The whole melds into sheer aural delight. I shall play this offering repeatedly.
The lighting and photography for this video couldn't be more perfect, and the performance is more beautiful than anything I could ever dream of. The sunlight really transforms the video into an experience that's magical and rare, just like the singing here. And the fingerprints on Tim's glasses and relaxed wardrobe made me feel like a fly on the wall. Mission accomplished! Thank you!
And now all is right with in the world....at least for a little while
Yes! You've put it perfectly.
Amen! 🙏
🙌
Yes, it is all right

Great counter tenor, but let's not forget that exquisite oboe d'Amore! Like molten chocolate and cream!
The counter tenor adds a sweet liqueur to the dessert.
Absolutely agree with you. The oboe d'amore is perfect.
It's such an honour to hear this masterpiece with just simple clicks.
Exquisite oboe d'amore solos by Patrick Beaugirard setting the standards very high, all met throughout. Tim Mead 💎 as his usual.
This could be the finest performance of a Bach aria that I have ever heard. Everything is exquisite -- balance, tempo, phrasing and timbre.
Agreed
Agreed!
Il migliore contra tenore del mondo.
That Voice... that VOICE!

Er mag auch in verschiedenen Sprachen singen, Purcell, Vivaldi, Bach, er ist einfach ein Genie.
One of the most perfect performances. The deceptive simplicity of the playing and singing. The masterful recording. Wow.
Altos always get the best music with Bach.
awyliu that's so true!
Makes up for the many hours of 'filling in'.
I fell in love with this performance
perfect timing... actually everything is on a right place here
Tim Mead is definitely an angel in the presence of the Lord, with clouds around, wings and light.
今年の10月、日本でTimの歌声を聴き、すっかり魅了されました。そのうち、RUclipsが Timの動画をあれこれ見せてくれるようになりました。この素晴らしいカンタータに出会わせてくれてありがとう。私はアルトで歌っています。いつか、この曲も歌ってみたい。もちろん、Timには遠く及ばないけれど。
オランダバッハ協会のマタイ受難曲、「憐れみたまえ我が神よ」を聞いて以来のファンです。彼が来日すると知り，私もジュリオ・チェーザレ行きました。声がとても柔らかくまっすぐ響いて素敵ですよね。
たまたま、Timの歌を順に聞いていて、コメントしてくださっていることに気づきました。ありがとうございます。私も数年前に「Erbarme dich」の動画を見ていたのですが、その時は自分が歌うための参考になる動画を探していたので、カウンターテナーではピンとこなくて、メゾソプラノの方の動画を繰り返し聴いていたんです。ところが、今回改めて聴いてみたら、なんと美しい・・・。ヘンデルのオペラもバッハのカンタータも、どちらも素晴らしいですね。
Wonderful voice. Mead
magnifique !!!! Une des plus belle voix de contre ténor
It seems to me as if Bach himself is spiritually present in the studio for this recording of a composition by the world's Master of Music that I have never heard until now...
Everything about this is gorgeous: music itself, vocal performance, sun shining in, cathedral architecture... ❤️
if you look well you'll see " the sun" is actually a lamp. But he rest seems to be real !
It's a church but yes, perfect!!
It's a lamp but yes, perfect!! 😉
Andreas Scholl’s interpretation is also amazing!

Mead!! That Voice...
Stunning. Gorgeous. Such art cannot be surpassed.
No wonder I have listened to this roughly 80 times in the past year.
Wunderschön, fantastisch gesungen aus der Seele. Danke. Ein kleiner Trost in dunkler Zeit meines Lebens.
Vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust,
Dich kann man nicht bei Höllensünden,
Wohl aber Himmelseintracht finden;
Du stärkst allein die schwache Brust.

A true angel! Thank you for this amazing performance.
What a voice.
Such feeling and expression. The best!

Have you heard the youngest ? In my opinion , Alois Muhlbacher and Logan Tanner make a different. Not likind Jakub Orlinski at all
Outstanding and beautiful performance Tim!
He always leaves you with beautiful emotions! Is this your favorite song?
Truly extraordinary singer and instrumentalists
This is what Bach deserves. Angelic to heavenly.
The timing of having this particular recording appear is amazing ... one week past the sudden loss of my beloved father in law. This is a beautiful mark upon our time of healing.
Wundervoll.
hearing this,I have wish be a countertenor! magnific!
Such a beautiful rendition! And seeing those comments of appreciation fills my heart with hope. Maybe humanity has a chance after all.
We don't all listen to Justin Bieber and all the other dross which they have the nerve to call music.
Classical music lovers do. But we are a small minority.
I wish I was a countertenor... I love that timbre

I love you, Tim 💗
Tim is a magician! See his gestures!!!
Wunderbar!!!!
Bravo!! 🌼💐🌹🌸💐🌼🌹🌸💐🌼🌹🌸
Quelle pureté vocale !
Première fois que je le vois avec des lunettes
Beautiful! Angelic Voice. ! Best for Bach ! 💕

@@annemariequiring2061 Yes, it is superb music and for a little over a year now, I have been discovering and enjoying more of it.
This is quite possibly the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard!

Amazing & beautiful, Master Bach close to God, Tim Mead close to the angels
