Truly lovely. I think that’s the loveliest thing I’ve ever heard.

Sounds beautiful, Bach is swell as are you.

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.

Bach is THE God of Music.

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…

Wow! A devout Lutheran writing for a Catholic church, as Masses are usually Catholic.

Phuck, this is so beautiful.

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 clearly went to the wrong church.

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….

countertenor?

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 I’d rather listen to this than go to church and listen to a minister or priest rehash outdated and unexamined positions.

Qanto mais vídeo assim, melhor para análise.

endrrahene on 23 January, 2009 at 4:12 am #

Thank you so much!

I posted the album info on the video description.


endrrahene on 26 January, 2009 at 6:57 am #

Can this be found in a CD/DVD that is for sale? I would greatly appreciate any info. I really want to buy it.

This is my favourite piece of all time-I’m singing it for my A Level recital.

Bach’s genius is almost impossible to comprehend. As Goethe stated it so well, “[the music of bach] is like eternal harmony conversing with itself, the way it may have been in God’s bosom the moment before He created the world”
