Magdalena Kozena brings great intensity to this performance, and Gardiner provides an accompaniment of comparable feeling. One of my very favourite Bach recordings. see also my Bernarda Fink playlist at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGA3KWIpBUk&list=PLvKszc8diYSu9BA3I-ZA7aYeGztp2y4mT Tief gebückt und voller Reue Lieg ich, liebster Gott, vor dir. Ich bekenne meine Schuld, Aber habe doch Geduld, Habe doch Geduld mit mir! Deeply bowed and filled with remorse I lie, dearest God, before Thee. I acknowledge my guilt, But have patience, Have patience, I beg, with me. Sir John Eliot Gardiner conducting the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists Magdalena Kožená - mezzo soprano
