Not easy to decide! Mead has the purest voice, his coloratura is very precise, and some years ago I would have adored his version, but now I find that his interpretation lacks a bit of depth. Scholl goes a bit in the same direction, while Stutzmann is on the opposite side of the scale - I often like her very much, but IMO for an oratorio aria by Bach she uses too much vibrato, "drama", darkens too much the vowels ("vollbrocht"). I personally prefer the interpretations by Dumeaux (whose bright voice I adore) and Richardot (I especially love her rich deep notes). Anyway it's a masterpiece in all the versions!
listening to the first notes I was afraid it was the Adagio of Albinoni (or the pasticcio that is know as such) .... I did not know this beautiful aria of Bach's .... how elegant and sensible
Andreas is the perfection plus the emotion, the spiritualitéy.... though I do like Tim Mead, Christophe Dumaux and Lucile Richardot. I'm sorry not to like Nathalie Stuzman as a singer (too big vibrato) - she is an excellent Chef and a great musician.
Right now, we are fighting a huge war to protect ourselves and the good people. People all over the world are like that. In particular, we will clean up empty cans that are completely empty of soul. They are opportunists, very cowardly, hypocritical, arrogant and selfish. I'm looking completely into their minds. Goodness people are crying now. Because of the evil psychopaths.❗
Andreas Scholl, intenso dramatismo!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Scholl has made a career out of Bach and it shows. Plus the cool purity of his voice is ideal for this aria
Es ist vollbracht! Die Musik ist wunderbar. 😍
Andreas Scholl and Bach is Heaven itself. so for me Andreas. 🌹🙏
Dumaux, su voz me impresiona siempre que la oigo, suena muy natural incluso en los agudos.
They are superb, but Scholl is still my favourite.
Andreas Scholl ❤️❤️❤️
Однозначно-Andreas Scholl 💯💕
Andréas Scholl ❤👍❤👍❤
I love Tim Mead's rendition but when I heard Andreas Scholl his voice just has a timbre (is that the right word?) that just sets him above the others.
1. Christophe Dumaux 2. Andreas Scholl
Tim

nathalie stutzmann. perfect strength in this demanding subject. profound.
Christophe Dumaux.
I have to admit that his interpretation is also my favorite.
Dumaux is for sure above all the compatition. Just listen to his technique.
Sorry but has to be Andreas Scholl, the purity of his voice is just astounding...

1. Christophe Dumaux is far better deep chest voice in all registers
Andreas Scholl💪💪💪 " THE BEST "
Hmmm, Countertenor- Dumaux; Mezzo/Contralto - Richardot. Overall, they are all superb.
None of the above, Marian Anderson, Christa Ludwig and Kathleen Ferrier have that honor until the end of time.
Andreas Scholl
In this moment I feel closer to Lucile Richardot
Lucile
Stutzmann is my favourite.
Kathleen Ferrier
En esta aria cobra mucha importancia la orquesta no solo el cantante.
Too hard to decide.
Andreas is the perfection plus the emotion, the spiritualitéy.... though I do like Tim Mead, Christophe Dumaux and Lucile Richardot. I'm sorry not to like Nathalie Stuzman as a singer (too big vibrato) - she is an excellent Chef and a great musician.
Dumaux or Scholl
Michael Chance??
Dumaux is far better
We´re missing here Galou´s performance which seems to me much better than richardot's
C est très veau
Bernarda Fink...sadly not here
I think this is a draw between Mead and Scholl.
Right now, we are fighting a huge war to protect ourselves and the good people.
