German lyrics
O Tod, wie bitter bist du,
wenn an dich gedenket ein Mensch der gute Tage und genug hat und ohne Sorge lebet,
und dem es wohl geht in allen Dingen und noch wohl essen mag!
O Tod, wie wohl tust du dem Dürftigen, der da swach und alt ist,
der in allen Sorge steckt, und nichts Bessers zu hoffen noch zu erwarten hat!
English translation
O death, how bitter is the remembrance of you to a person at peace with his possessions,
to a man undistracted and prospering in everything and still having strength to welcome a luxury.
O death, your judgement is good to a person who is needy and lacking strength, who is in extreme old age
and is anxious about everything and who is disobedient and has lost hope.
I would like to join the choir, but listening is a blessing too. Problem is only, I do not dare to breathe at the end of the song. Too beautiful! We'll sing it again in heaven. Death is there no more, but we will all agree: God gave us death at the appointed time.
Yes, no tremelo in the voices... Way better than others. Expression. Drama. Dedication to God. May Your will be done- is finally the best for us. Even if it means death until we live in eternity.
Ich kaufte mir als Spätjugendlicher mal eine LP von diesem wertesten Stück:Damals dachte ich, dass ich das auf mich nicht beziehen könne:Aber wenn es um Tod und Sterben geht und den Trost im Sein, dann wird dieses Werk zumBesten gehören, das man noch hierzu überhaupt zu hören bekommt.Das Chorwerk ohne Instrumentenbegleitun(a capella gleichsam)ist einmalig gut. Das Musik-Chor-Requiem -Werk überzeugte mich schon immer immens gut.Und es kann auch dann andenkend gehört werden, zur Meditation, wenn gerade kein aktueller Todesfall vorliegen sollte.Niemand wirddem Tod, dem Sterben entrinnen.
This is the best performance to be found on CZcams....
No. It isn't. The best and peerless until now is the version conducted by Dietrich Knothe
which has the right and correct Max Reger's agogic ever.

This is exactly the performance Max must have had in his mind when composing this work; you deserve a a standing ovation for this!
Phantastisch! Ein perfekter Klangkörper!!!
I cannot stand how perfect this performance is. Magnificent work, every single person involved should feel immense pride in this. Even when it goes slightly flat at the end, it doesn't matter. The choir's ability to blend overrides the mistake.
This is one of my absolute favorite works of music, and this performance is exquisite!
wow, incredible performance
this is just perfect
Beautiful!
+Guitareben Thanks a lot!

+Ivo Antognini Thank you so much!

Yes, Max Reger is the composer
The best and peerless version until now is the version conducted by Dietrich Knothe
