[cellodude87]

the choir is magnificent, though the orchestra lacks color (so mechanical)

[meister5432]

I believe the ending of Crucifixus is one of the best Bach ever wrote... Love it.

[marcin8942]

Ich denke in Crucifixus ist zu wenig legato.

Chor muss singen und denken über echte deutsche Vokale!Warum Dirigent lacht,das ist Kirche Musik aber keine Operette?

[Hutzelschweiz5]

@marcin8942

Warum sie lacht? Bei diesem Stück passiert es sehr leicht, dass der Chor zu tief singt (liegt an der komosition) dadurch, dass die Dirigentin scheinbar lacht, will sie erreichen, dass die Tonhöhe gehalten wird, also nicht tiefer wird. So einfach ist das.

Du hast Recht, mein Freund!

That is NOT "smile" - but "Eternal Joy"..

NOT listening but Perfirming - It can be experienced...

LOOK at the Girl at 2'30'' - appearing in the Middle...

[MakovDmitry]

It's just rihgt

[fhr1980]

She's sadistic :-)

[fhr1980]

The choir sounds beautiful but.... what's that smile in the face of the conductor? It's a terrible and frightening moment!

[Kraps04]

Actually, the "smile" is to remind choirists to keep the correct intonation. Not an easy task, though.

[galeckakinga]

@Kraps04 That is exactly what I wanted to add. The smile helps keep the brighter tone of voice and keep the intonation. Every choir singer knows this expression...

[galeckakinga]

@Kraps04 That is exactly what I wanted to add. The conductor's facial expression which looks like a smile reminds the singers to keep a brighter tone of voice and keep the intonation. Every choir singer knows this, but the audience rarely can see it...

[MakovDmitry]

what a strange smiling of conductor?

[dbach100]

When choir is singing,I feel in heaven.

[rowlandorganlover]

I sang this in high school almost 60 years ago and still remember how moving it was.

[KatrinSoprano]

ну и дирижёр...(((((((((((Это уже не Бах!самодеятельность какая-то

[qudolph]

what a terrible conductor. just terrible... why all those musicians would put their trust in her makes one question their integrity.
