super swing

I like this rendition a lot - esp. Et in unum Dominum!

It sounds like the violins are using gut strings, which are much nicer sounding than metal strings.

Perhaps it's just the effect of restrained vibrato.

No Gypsy violins in this performance.

Odd the way they accelerate the basso continuo during the first entrance of the tenors.

It's sounds like a locomotive pulling out of train station.

"It is clear that recordings featuring historical instruments have exposed musicians who play modern instruments to the developments in the field. Fortunately, Bach's works as performed by Mengelberg and Richter are a thing of the past." --Ton Koopman

Maybe you could tack a short clip of a puppy chasing its tail at the beginning, then it would have 3,000,000 hits.

Come for the puppy - stay for the Bach!!! :-)

Usually I prefer baroque versions, like the Bruggen, Leonhardt or Herrewege recordings.

But I like this one also ! Maybe because I've got to know it thanks to YouTube ?
