I once heard a singer talk about how she felt 'her heart opening' when she sang this aria, and I honestly don't think there is a better way to describe the feeling this aria gives... Unimaginable beauty!
If ever one needed proof. The best of us all is represented by this composer... Finally Gardiner doesn’t take it too fast. Grace. Love. Intellect. Emotion. Purpose. Kozena is stunning.
I was enchanted by her voice the first time I heard her, and had the blessing to have a friend kindly bring me her newly released first CD from Germany in 2003. Her voice is just made for Bach.
Since Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau I cannot remember a singer who is naturally gifted to Bach music. Kozena voice has the heaven gifted voice that Bach Cantatas want.
So wuuuuuuuunderbar! Großartig! Neben der ausdruckvollen M. Kocena der beeindruckende, so sensibel dirigierende S.Gardiner mit dem einmaligen Orchester...ein wahrer >Ohrenschmaus der Sonderklasse!
Maravillosa, muy mística e intensa, la interpretación de esta aria por Magdalena Kozena pero la dirección de Gardiner y el sentimiento celestial del conjunto alcanza un nivel difícil de superar. No conozco versión comparable . Se realizó en uno de los mejores momentos de todos ellos.
In my imagination, I can see the Master looking over this performance and saying: "Yes. THIS is the way it is supposed to be." Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
Quelle musicalité chez Magadalena et quel magnifique aria, l'un des plus beaux écrits par Bach..L'émotion de Gardiner, qui vit cette musique plus qu'il ne la dirige, est si perceptible...Quelle beauté et quelle justesse dans l'interprétation...
Ha!..yes, I imagine he does. I just want to say ,thank you so much Christopher for uploading this beautiful gem.In the madness that is youtube,this is so refreshing...it's people like you who restore my faith in humanity..
Es una obra bellísima y una forma de expresarse para con Dios muy especial. Va la traducción a castellano de la letra: Hundido y arrepentido Me inclino ante ti Señor Y confesando mi culpa te suplico paciencia, ¡ten paciencia por favor!
What you say about her being "absolutely present" is very true; the same quality can be seen in another clip I made of her. Search RUclips for "Kozena sostenuto"...
A celestially beautiful performance so wonderfully recorded visually and musically. The tranquil acoustic ambience of that church comes across perfectly.
L'interpretazione strumentale è di una intensità commovente. Il testo e la sua esposizione, grazie alla voce di Magdalena, racchiudono l'infinito. Thanks, thanks Always
L'interpretazione orchestrale di sir J.E. Gardiner, la bellezza della voce, il testo, tutto mostra il senso di ringraziamento a Dio per la Sua misericordia verso un uomo peccatore, riscattato con il sangue di Dio, fatto uomo. Segno di un amore smisurato e non dovuto, riempie di speranza. Grazie per tutto questo.
I love this music vid. A beautiful woman singing excellently and fine musicians playing superbly in the backdrop of a beautiful castle like church......what's not to like here? This is Excellence.
Kozemá con su pureza interpretativa , la extraordinaria sensibilidad de Gardiner y el entorno de St Davids me hacen sentirme en el cielo. Intimo J.S. Bach
Magdalena Kozena singt und ist so schön wie ein Engel. Diese herrliche Kantate hat sie vor knapp 12 Jahren während der peregrinage mit Sir Eliot Gardiner in einer abgelegenen, imponenten Kirche in Schottland aufgeführt. Was für ein Privilig für die Hörer! Wie schade dass Aufnahmen der Bachkantaten mit Magdalena nur begrenzt im RUclips zu finden sind!
Fe fato, concordo plenamente com vc. - A Aria 'Tief gebuckt und voller Reue', da cantata 199, cantada por ela, me leva às lagrimas todas as vezes que escuto. Jamais ouvi algo de tanta beleza.
Gottes Segen und Wohlgefallen Euch Allen, Gottes Liebe zu bezeugen, und den Menschen - und denen so welche Mensch werden wollen - so zährtlich nah`zu bringen. Der Herr segne Euch und Euer ewiges Leben in seiner Liebe. WK4+

When I listen to this Bach aria I'd really like to believe in God. So, E. M. Cioran was right : "S'il y a quelqu'un qui doit tout à Bach, c'est bien Dieu"
yes, but I'll bet more people will listen to Russell Crowe's "singing" in Les Miserables.. I love it when people make comments; I listen to this again each time...

A Jewel of Bach. This Version is on top. Gardinier with the Orchestra and Lady Kozena went deep in my heart.
What an amazing orchestra... Sounds like ONE instrument...!
If ever one needed proof. The best of us all is represented by this composer... Finally Gardiner doesn’t take it too fast. Grace. Love. Intellect. Emotion. Purpose. Kozena is stunning.
Gardiner isn't using one of his usual folk singers here
I was enchanted by her voice the first time I heard her, and had the blessing to have a friend kindly bring me her newly released first CD from Germany in 2003. Her voice is just made for Bach.
Bach.. you made life worth living❤️

Bach, Gardiner and Kozena sublime!

Kozena at her very best in Bach. And I love how she keeps looking at Gardiner - that's rapport right there.
She is a genius!!!! And she seems so beauty

Bach, Gardiner, Monteverdi Choir , the English Baroque Orchestra y Magdalena Kozena !!! = Paraiso!
As a German its a speacial pleasure. because we can feel the lips.
So natural, so inspired and musical. Absolutely perfect. Regards from a singer in Norway.
EXCELENTE MAGDALENA KOZENA PRECIOSA VOZ Y LA ORQUESTA EXCELENTE
Grandiosa Magdalena Kozena y excelente dirección de Sir Gardiner de la magnífica obra de Bach . Gracias
I think Bach is best musician.He is real genius.
She sounds so heavenly perfect.....
And the location is St. David's Cathedral, Pembrokeshire, Wales.

Wonderful timbre, articulation, and expressive interpretation.
splendid voice..thanks Magdalena..
Meravigliosa lei, meravigliosa la Cantata: Grazie (e la direzione e l'orchestra)
Por fin una messosoprano!!
Es una obra bellísima y una forma de expresarse para con Dios muy especial. Va la traducción a castellano de la letra:
Hundido y arrepentido
Me inclino ante ti Señor
Y confesando mi culpa
te suplico paciencia,
¡ten paciencia por favor!
Eine großartige Künstlerin -ohne Allüren, absolut präsent und voller Ausstrahlung -und hier eine Begleitung, wie sie besser nicht sein kann! Chapeau!

Great voice!!!Great peace of music!!!
A celestially beautiful performance so wonderfully recorded visually and musically. The tranquil acoustic ambience of that church comes across perfectly.
I completely agree. This wonderful performance was recorded in the nave of St Davids Cathedral in West Wales by BBC Wales.
She sings and looks like an Angel!
Was für eine Stimme!!
Watching this with tears in my eyes...pffft...I have no words..
Magdalena Kozena & John Eliot Gardiner are the best musicians for Bachs works. I like them!
An equally good combination is Bernarda Fink and Gardiner...
Truely an amazing performance.
touching, melodious and divine..
I LOVE KOZENÁ
It is so wonderful hearing a singer put emotion into Bach's work. So beautiful.
Thanks, greatests Magdalena and Gardiner.
L'interpretazione strumentale è di una intensità commovente. Il testo e la sua esposizione, grazie alla voce di Magdalena, racchiudono l'infinito. Thanks, thanks Always
It is coming of paradise that now can hear her wonderful vocal.She is excellent and incomparable. From where are you watching this video ？
小島信一 Canada. Ontario.
Her voice is lovely
Sir Simon Rattle is a very very lucky man!.
Das ist Musik machen!!!! Sehr schön gemacht!!!
Simplemente maravilloso!
Sublime!

When she sings it makes the sky a little bit higher
it makes the sky a little bit closer

Celestial la obra y su interpretación. Viva Bach por siempre.
Belíssimo!
Beautiful!
La magnificenza totale
excellent voice for bach :)
Some people would criticize God for how does a sunset. Learn to enjoy every moment. This is pure joy....
TRUE!
Tugs at the heart-strings. Many thanks.
Majestic sounding, excellent job. That Magdalena Kozena can really sing.
wat prachtig gezongen!!!!! HEMELS!
Bellisima
Weltklasse ❤
Vielen danke, Magdalena!
Kozemá con su pureza interpretativa , la extraordinaria sensibilidad de Gardiner y el entorno de St Davids me hacen sentirme en el cielo. Intimo J.S. Bach
Csodás.
To my way of thinking, she's the mezzo equivalent of soprano Barbara Bonney. Both are perfection.
Parfait ;) Justesse, nuance, douceur sans lenteur...Superbe !
Diva Kozena,the angels listen to her!🎶🎵🌟
bravo !!!
Maravillosa!

this girl sings so beatifull as herself
Marvelous setting; magnificent mezzo Kozena and gorgeous music accompaniment. What more could one's heart desire.

Herausragende Stimme und Akzentuierfaehigkeit, unglaublich tolle Interpretation einer unglaublich tollen Bach-Musik bei zum Teil mittelmäßigen Text
это чудо волшебство
Stunning, beautiful
Musica perfeita!
stupendo. commuovente, fantastica esecuzione....
Gottes Segen und Wohlgefallen Euch Allen, Gottes Liebe zu bezeugen, und den Menschen - und denen so welche Mensch werden wollen - so zährtlich nah`zu bringen. Der Herr segne Euch und Euer ewiges Leben in seiner Liebe. WK4+
Bravissimo Sir John!!
I imagine he gets the greatest lullabies...
Many thanks and beautiful
mam rad Magdalena!
"Profondamente prostrato e pieno di rimorso..."
Non è azzardato dire che qui la bellezza dell'interpretazione eguaglia quella della musica.
Like you,I love this performance and it brings tears to my eyes too...why did Bach write it?..I'd love to know
Algida e sublime interprete.
How very true.
pfffft!..can someone please explain this video....This..is..just..simply ...Ridiculous...genius!!
la classe !!
Muito belo!
Друзья, это чудесно!
BELLEZA SIN IGUAL!!!

Wondrous..
I agree with Frilly on this one, too many people making negative comments, get a life !
When I listen to this Bach aria I'd really like to believe in God. So, E. M. Cioran was right : "S'il y a quelqu'un qui doit tout à Bach, c'est bien Dieu"
Sounds you hear when entering Heaven.
Esta aria parece de gestos largos ,majestuosos , que se acompaña de instrumentos de cuerda,baj continuo y el basson,hacen penar en Handel.
yes, but I'll bet more people will listen to Russell Crowe's "singing" in Les Miserables..
I love it when people make comments; I listen to this again each time...
