Bach - St. Matthew Passion BWV 244 (Karl Richter, 1971) - 22/22

[Fireball1787]

What a wonderful musical offering to the planet.

The discords eloquently express the sorrow at laying Jesus in his tomb. Bach at his ultimate. What a wonderful cultural and religious icon for the planet. He is truly the greatest ever composer and communicator of emotions through music.

Best Bach conductor ever.

[patthecatman]

i will see this concert live in march at ascension church in ny. i know i will break down, esp at the last chorus.

[nimbudu]

omg, i'd probably cry my soul out, if i would see this live in concert.

Nothing more touching then a song like this sung by such a big choir!

[patthecatman]

@nimbudu see above post

[LesPlovykles]

@nimbudu I think in the same mode.

[adimaj78]

Thank you, SoliDeoGloria8550, for uploading this outstanding masterpiece of western music.

[zoukina]

Wir setzen uns mit Tränen nieder

Und rufen dir im Grabe zu:

Ruhe sanfte, sanfte ruh!

Ruht, ihr ausgesognen Glieder!

Euer Grab und Leichenstein

Soll dem ängstlichen Gewissen

Ein bequemes Ruhekissen

Und der Seelen Ruhstatt sein.

Höchst vergnügt schlummern da die Augen ein.

How can one sing this words with Bach s music directed by Richter and not be deeply moved...

[zoukina]

Master Achivement

[kzt333]

[Alecs1950]

bach is an archangel sent by God to bring us music of angels on earth

[planetvalerina]

Entering Lent ... a must to listen to. Thx for placing on Youtube.

[redbrian3655]

I want to thank you for uploading this entire performance. I just finished all 22 entree, and I am exhausted physically, emotionally, spiritually and musically. This Passion has given me such renewed life and faith in these last few hours. 

[HimmelsscheibeNebra]

Das Werk in dieser Ausführung macht Gänsehaut!

Ich werde mir die DVD besorgen müssen.

Grandios!

[P1B1U1H1]

This is tonal and rhythmic perfection, a microcosm of heaven itself.

[nmrv9]

I think its highly appropiate to put both the recitative and the chorus.... they really complement each other perfectly.... oh man that soprano really nails it

@helmuthoorn I am a Muslim and I adore Bach and his music .. I do not believe Jesus was crucified, instead I believe Allah has rescued him, however when I listed to this part of the passion I almost cried, not because I am sad for Jesus but because Bach music is so emotional and genius that it affects even atheists !

[edmundworthy]

This is God's masterpiece on earth. Nothing created by man comes so near to expressing the Eterrnal Truth of God as this Chorus. As we live in the shadow of mortal death, we see the hope of the Resurrection won for us by Jesus Christ.

[markpelledevries]

\i love some parts of the Mattheus Passion at this slow pace, "Nun ist der Herr zur Ruh gebracht" is so very dramatic at this pace, it goes staight to your heart.

[TurbojugendJoe]

I have tears in my eyes, thank you so much for sharing!

[prgerrit]

Thanks a million for posting this!

[BlGBenY]

leider ist es viel zu langsam arrangiert, bach schreib es wesentlich schneller...

[dmac469]

My mom died this morning at age 86. What a blessing to hear these peices

[SoliDeoGloria8550]

My most sincere condolences :(

Now she's up there with the Great Father Bach, listening to His wonderful music for eternity.

[dmac469]

Thanks, Soli, it's great to know that God can use a person from centuries ago to bless a bereaved person today. And thanks for posting these Bach pieces.

[gjamesp]

Condolences to you....the music of BACH especially this piece is quite consoling....May her soul rest peacefully....

[Menegoth]

@SoliDeoGloria8550 Yeah, sure she is. >_>

[marcellny]

this pieces justifies the existence of human kind in any form. even all the horrible things we have done as a society and as a group of beings before bach, is worth it... so that he'd write this.

[dmac469]

I think I"ve died and gone to heaven. Where has this been all my life?

[LuisCarcamoCarcamo]

One of the pinnacles of western music, excelent!

[6cuerdas6]

Maravilloso final de una obra grandiosa!!

Gracias esto tiene valor y no precio!!!.
