J. S. Bach: Matthäus-Passion, BWV 244, (3/-)

[RolandRiopelle]

Thanks for posting. Those of us who are agnostics also enjoy Bach and his religious music, as well as the religionists and the atheists!  I have some serious doubt as to whether there is a God, but no doubt that, if there is, he likes Bach!

Hi,

I wonder if this Alt is Lena Susanne Norin? It sounds like her and I know she's made a recording with Herman Max. It's so beautiful!

[The30YearOldVirgin]

Anne Sofie von Otter (Mezzo-soprano) :)

The orchestration is by the English Baroque Soloists conducted by John Eliot Gardiner (1988).

Thank you for appreciating it!

Lovely stuff. And I'm an atheist too! :D

[The30YearOldVirgin]

:))) Thanks, I'm glad not only that you liked it but also because it's great to know that there are other atheists around that don't hate religion. I say this because I've met a lot of atheists who hate religious people... and a lot of religious people who hate atheists.

I think that if religion is to end some day, let it be because of personal enlightenment (of the believers) rather than imposition (from atheists). I aspire to the day when God may become an inspiration, instead of a burden. :)

Beautiful! The video is really wonderful to watch:)

Thank you!

It's funny how I love Bach's sacred music so much, because I actually don't believing in God...

I guess there is something divine about Bach's

music, whether you are a religious people or not :)
