So great!

Can anyone tell me which is the church in the video and where is it? It's amazing...

Thank you!

Magnificent. Many b's have buzzed my way, on LPs, tape, CDs and even DVDs, from Klemperer and Von K on one end and Josh Rifkin on the other, and I've been looking for an mp3 on amazon. But I stopped looking when I dl'd this one. I'm no Bach purist and I have no jones for original instruments. But this 1969 perf is ideal. Great sound for any period let alone the late 60's, and the perfect balance between the big and the small. Plus the upload is seamless, at no point did it intrude. Perfect.

heavy metal really sucks compared to real music, i love all those moron faux electric guitarists out there who think their up to bach's level.

[FriendlyCroock]

@bassbass99able

i agree completely

[TheUnrequitedTruth]

@bassbass99able Perhaps your judgment is misguided due to a lack of exposure to GOOD metal. Try listening to Between the Buried and Me, Mastodon, Dream Theater, Opeth, Symphony X, etc. I won't say everything from those bands are up to Bach and Mozart standards, but they're undeniably gifted, both in musicality and composition.

[seponvi]

One guy does not like the video !!!!! What did he want ? Lady gaga singing Bach LOL or Pitbull conducting Mass in B minor LOL

[cumofo]

@seponvi He's a Glen Gould fan, ignore him.

[Yavien]

@cumofo

this is not Beethoven

:)

[simcha181818]

@cumofo I am also a Glenn Gould fan. Anything wrong with that?

[VamLoveAndKisses]

@cumofo What's wrong with Gould? :P

[thegoddescomposer]

Funny there is 14 parts of this

now ladies and gentlmen lets count BACH name

B=2 A=1 C=3 H=8 Together = 14

there are 2345 bars of music in the Mass in b-minor (BWV 232).

2+3+4+5=14

Bach is for me the only one to get closer to God

@thegoddescomposer

Numerology in musicology is a waste of time. Who cares?

@thegoddescomposer

You study Kabballah?

[wolflover8765]

@thegoddescomposer What about Mozart? Don't get me wrong. I love Bach, but Mozart was pretty brilliant too.

[TheMboucher]

This is in the Basilica von Ottoburen, isn't it? I hope I spelled it right...

[jjuan54]

bach is not a musician at all..........HE IS A PROPHET.

[mremile72]

Richter is the only conductor I know of who can get an absolutely hauntingly beautiful sound from the choir and orchestra in this kind of Baroque music.

[TurbojugendJoe]

Thank you so much for posting. Bach's mass is one of the greatest works of all time! Karl Richter was his best servant!

Weno el cambio a los 8:10, sobre todo cuando entran las soprano II
