Bach: "Geschwinde, ihr wirbelnden Winde" (BWV 201) (4)

Johann Sebastian Bach: "Geschwinde, ihr wirbelnden Winde" (BWV 201) (The contest Between Phoebus and Pan): 1. Rezitativ. Momus: Pan, rücke deine Kehle nun In wohlgestimmte Falten! Pan: Ich will mein Bestes tun Und mich noch herrlicher als Phoebus halten. Momus: Pan, now flex your throat in well-sounding ripples! Pan: I will do my best and position myself as greater than Phoebus. 2. Arie - Pan. Zu Tanze, zu Sprunge, so wackelt das Herz. Wenn der Ton zu mühsam klingt Und der Mund gebunden singt, So erweckt es keinen Scherz. To dance, to leap, the heart is eager. When the music is too dreary and the mouth is restricted in song, no play is awakened. Akademie für Alte Musik. Momus - Maria Christina Kiehr (Soprano). Mercurius - Andreas Scholl (Contre-ténor). Timolus - James Taylor (Tenor). Midas - Kurt Azesberger (Tenor). Phoebus - (Baryton). Pan - Peter Lika (Basse). Dir. René Jacobs.
