the "bariton" with the glasses is the tenor peter schreier ;))

that's ghastly!there's a reason if people try to play bach's music in a historical way: to avoid this results!listen to the bass in the aria: you can hardly distinguish the notes becouse of the vibrato.and that huge choir... AAARG!the only one good (in my opinion) is schreier... as usual

Sorry, I expressed myself badly. The bass seen shortly in this clip singing the part of Pilate is (and should be, according to the credits) indeed Nimsgern. The bass singing the aria, but not seen because of the paintings, is Engen. I own the DVD and I remember beeing utterly frustrated by those same damned paintings scrolling from left to right, right to left, down to up and up to down over and over again, blocking the view to the performing artists.

Even if Nimsgern sang the parts of Peter and Pilate, I am sorry to correct you: the short glimpse of the singer we see is Nimsgern, because I know him personally. According to the text, it is probably Pilate´s part what he´s singing.

But the vibrato I cant say is good

This is the original video is not his fault

Bachs music was made to be interpretaited like this

This mifght well be the most beautiful performance I've ever heard! Yes, yes, I know... it's probably not up to today's standards of "historicism" but who cares? I don't: I find it more musical than many and extremely moving. Isn't that what music is all about? I love Schreir's delivery of the text, Engen's large voice, and Richter's harpsichord. Thank you! I'd love to see it complete.

The whole production is ruined by those silly pictures. The bass is Kieth Engen. Even though we see only a very short glimpse of him, the voice is easy to recognise. Nimsgern sang the parts of Peter and Pilate, Engen the arias. |
