JS Bach: Mass in B minor, BWV 232 “Agnus Dei” In this video: Andreas Scholl, countertenor Collegium Vocale Gent, Conducted by Philippe Herreweghe Harmonia Mundi Agnus dei qui tollis peccata mundi miserere nobis.. Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us..
did you really? that is so amazing! what is Mr. Scholl like? I adore his voice; and Ton Koopman? I’m really a fan of his direction of the Amsterdam choir (is it?) singing BWV 131!
simply beautiful!
Dear Jesus/God …this is beautiful. My favorite solo in the work. This idea is good, a little out of sink in places, but thank you, thank you. Please do same with Sop.1/ Alt. duet : “Et in unum Domininum Jesum Christum”
Crystal Clear notes!!!! Oh my god! Just so beautiful. So serene and solemn, Almost unBach like with the superchromaticism in this piece. So spooky. But still beautiful.
I’m deeply in love with this particular interpretation of this piece, it’s so magical and divine it shakes my heart with every note.
How beautiful! I was lucky enough to sing Händel’s Messiah with Mr. Scholl under the direction of Ton Koopman.
Have you ever heard a recording of this Agnus Dei with a male sopranist as opposed to a counter-tenor? It is quite sublime…
It’s actually more often than not the case with multi-movement works that not every movement will be in the tonic key of the overall piece as given in the title.
You won´t be saved by your ears, but just for the flesh and blood of Jesus.
Talking and evading from His Words will just grant you weak guys applauses. You will not impress your Creator with that.
[Jn 6:53-56] “Truly, Truly, I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.”
He said “Trully” endrrahene….
Bach was the man. So he wrote a mass in b minor while using a different key signature. Bach’s theory is just so sadistic haha
This is a religious experience. I’d rather listen to this than go to church and listen to a minister or priest rehash outdated and unexamined positions.
Can this be found in a CD/DVD that is for sale? I would greatly appreciate any info. I really want to buy it.
