[TuneBlender]

THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

(To Suzuki, the orchestra, the choir, the soloists, the cameramen, the uploader, and pretty much everyone that was in some way involved in that video finally reaching my screen!)

[MrJFA1978]

wow, genial, primera vez que la escucho.

[Arjetube]

Michio Kaku as conductor ?

Bravo Maestro Suzuki !!! Je ne croyais pas que un japonais qui interprète la musique de J-S Bach aussi bien que... Herreweghe-Harnoncourt-Gardine­r-Jacobs. Je suis émerveillé de vous entendre votre Bach Cllegium Japan, En plus vous avez la très belle crinière blanche, très agréable à regarder ! 日本人で これほどバッハを感情表現豊かな演奏には素晴しく感激しました。­ながーい御活躍を。FRANCE在住の日本人ファンより

[tallswede80]

Thing with bach, he wrote more music than most people would ever be able to absorb in a lifetime, even if the only music they ever listened to was Bach.

[yohlie]

Great performance....but what bothers me is that the soprano does not get the high notes. Some parts are changed. Sounds kida weird.

[Quatarsys]

Исполнение, конечно, потрясающее, слов просто нет... Очень верно расставлены именно Баховские акценты, эпохальные, временнЫе. Что же касается меня, то я просто привык уже к исполнению Карла Рихтера.

[tristan01101]

... God is definitely in the works of Bach. I didn't know him personally.. but he even said this was all to His glory. I can't think of a better inspiration that exists BUT God. If only Bach were still alive to write more....

[odilebams]

Quelle élégance et quelle grâce cette direction!Superbe!

[elfenlied2719]

Al contrapunto sólo hay una manera de tratarlo é interpretarlo.................­.. y es con entradas perfectamente marcadas y por sobre tódo, que se distingan y aprecien, en tódo.....................está es la mejor interpretacion de Bach que he escuchado en mucho tiempo, "Me Encanta" , GRACIAS.

[ArtemisiaTook]

Sublime!

[Mattegsels]

I love how this chorus just never ends! The first time I heard it on a record I thought it was a mistake, that they had printed the chorus twice in a row. The music is so creepy and intense and wonderful.

[halleteko]

Best performance. Best interpretation

[sutherndudetx]

Oh my... A baroque contra-bassoon. Brave man.

[KerryAbernethy]

beautiful <3

[jfranbazaga]

Pues, que decir del maestro Suzuki interpretando esta grandísima obra de Bach !!!!! Sublime !!!!!

[manuelspcool]

gracias por subir este video de tan sublime obra del maestro de maestros y con este escenario tan bello como lo es el gran suntory hall saludos cuidate =)

[fuzzyami]

I love this performance so much... many thanks!

[josefk64]

Great job, really intense as it should be. Brilliant!!!

[xxxxcensoredxxx]

2.53min -maybe his score is upside down?

[vaughangarrick]

this and the Gardiner versions are supreme- it depends on what you're looking for-Drama in the Gardiner or introspection in the Suzuki

[Bachsoboe]

@vaughangarrick Yep, well said. Gardiner prefers the theatricality of the piece, the drama, the humanity. Suzuki is the more spiritual. Both thrilling and equally valid interpretations.

[herodot2]

Suzuki is probably the only conductor but Harnoncourt that can convince me that there is something to period style performances. Or rather: that period or not DOES NOT MATTER. The only thing that matters is the quality of the musician.

Superb.

[Erogerk]

Where can i download the entire concert? It's just magnificent

[DrWmPierceAudio]

LOL @niggermusic when compared to this. Who said white supremacy wasn't true?

I'm so happy that we have jungle bunnies to show us real music.

[Twjdfa]

El agitado tenebroso movimiento que anuncia el drama como resume y que bien te adentra con acción a la obra....vas prestando atención y de golpe estalla .

Ahí esta Johann Sebastian impresionista y rompe con permiso el respeto de la manera mas bella posible un sistema de comunicació con la fe atraves de la música...la orqueta magnifica de nuestra era que como en una maquina del tiempo se traslada ala mente de Bach y a su fe ...Maravilloso Gracias por el video.

[odilebams]

J'adore me réveiller en écoutant cette version!Superbe et apaisante

[1977de33HERBST2010]

So ein Mensch die Beschneidung annimmt am Sabbat, auf daß nicht das Gesetz Mose's gebrochen werde, zürnet ihr denn über mich, daß ich den ganzen Menschen habe am Sabbat gesund gemacht? 24Richtet nicht nach dem Ansehen, sondern richtet ein rechtes Gericht. 25Da sprachen etliche aus Jerusalem: Ist das nicht der, den sie suchten zu töten? 26Und siehe zu, er redet frei, und sie sagen nichts. Erkennen unsere Obersten nun gewiß, daß er gewiß Christus sei? 27Doch wir wissen, woher dieser etc. 23 7 23 !

[svdkwast]

Magnifique interprétation !

[cranston65]

awesome!

[Organiste06]

As stunned as the first time. At the moment the first bars begin, I'm taken out of this world.

[paripe]

La mejor versión de esta Pasión según San Juan que he escuchado. Qué pureza de sonido, que limpieza de cada línea melódica... que claridad armónica del conjunto, que pasión en la ejecución. Fiel a la partitura, sin florituras románticas... pero con un conjunto potente para dar grandeza a la obra. Maravilloso¡

[rockingbeethoven]

Can't agree more with bigbono12 ... This is the best interpretation.

[iysun777]

Thanks I love the subtitles, it makes it so great to know what is said.

[PC900]

Excellent performance!! I was getting shivers down my spine for the whole 8 - 9 mins!

[tereserafina]

Yo alucino con este coro.Son perfectos. quien quiera saber como se canta que los mire, los escuche y aprenda.

Los adoro

[olivebach]

beautiful , all works of Masaaki Suzuki are beautiful, full of passion , Soli deo Gloria ;)

[zen2967]

questa è una delle canzoni per il quale le parole non sono sufficienti a descrivere.

[cinemuse7042]

suzuki realized the sublime and true feeling of St John after personally experiencing the death of his father six years ago...

[Anibaloide]

Es una de las dos versiones que más me gustan de esta Pasión de Bach (la otra, es la versión de Andrew Parrott). Suzuki es, verdaderamente, fenomenal.

Muchas gracias por compartir esta música maravillosa.

[jjuan54]

fuck, words are such become a bunch of foolish worthless shadows, when you try to describe the sublim beauty of bach's work........beyond reason or explanations.

[paradoxicus]

Sublime.A veces pueden faltar las palabras para poder expresar el sentimiento.¡Gracias a Solideo por tan excelsa joya!.

[romanpr1nce]

omg it's even subtitled. :D thanks who ever posted this. is there a dvd i can buy?

[57anthony]

@romanpr1nce Yes there is, you'll find it e.g. at amazon.co.uk

[ahzie99]

What an awesome video! Very authentic performance practices! Amazing sound!

Thanks for uploading!

[bigbono12]

Superb performance. I think Suzuki's interpretation of the St. John Passion is the best of all available ones. It is warm, intense, dry (without vibrato, with clean attacks) very flowing, with moments of sparkling brilliance and great emotional feeling.

[Kethvan]

@bigbono12 Agree! I had Benjamin Britten's version, unfortuntely it's sung in English (a bit awkward for Bach's works) plus it's not in the sound of period instruments, as seen here... The sounds of period instruments is essential in evoking the time of Bach and other masters of the Baroque era...

[bigbono12]

@Kethvan I also think that the B. Britten version is a very good one too. Sung in English, if you are not fluent in German you can follow the meaning of the Passion better and the emotional content of the words and music together do make a deep effect on the spirit, at least on mine.

[6cuerdas6]

Aqui cominza el maestro, gracias Juanita por los videos!!!

[SoliDeoGloria8550]
