Bach - St. John Passion BWV 245 (Masaaki Suzuki, 2000) - 12/12

[KMxStd]

Many congratulations for this video!

This is one of the most beautiful Bach's "Johannes Passion" versions I've ever seen!! It's wonderful how this chorus and orchestra interprets that Masterpiece, the words purity, the emotional singing, almost as if the choir was at the Tomb of Christ, crying His death!

I'm a Roman Catholic, but I deeply admire the talent of a man with a great faith, which being Protestant shares the same devotion to Christ, Our Lord.

I love this performance, plan to buy the complete cantatas by this group.

Grand Bravo à Mestro Suzuki, vous interprête mieux que Gardiner et Herreweghe, si Bach réveille de sa tombe（ qui sait ? ) qui dira "Mon fils tu es meilleur messager de ma musique" マエストロ　スズキ、信仰者でもない人にも　このバッハの受難曲の感動が伝わって来ます。この素晴しい演奏が­地球上の人達の心を癒してくれる事でしょう,戦争が地球上より無­くなる日もいっか,,,,,,きっと来る筈です。ありがとう

Beautifully rendered. What a superb ensemble of soloists, choir and orchestra with great musicianship! I can't wait to hear them perform on stage in March.

Very well done! I've heard Kings College Choir (Cleobury) and the Monteverdi Choir (Gardiner) sing their versions of the St. John Passion. This one ranks right up there.

[alalmaste]

I agree with you. E' una bellissima esecuzione. Grazie!

[elbiagioni]

This video is one of the most moving and beautiful things I've ever heard.

[mozartman2000]

frankly i find most of singing in baroque music too precious and affected for the sake of 'authenticity'. these singers never attack a note head on, always approach them gingerly from below...that really bugs me. i prefer the full blooded operatic style of singing. also- countertenors suck.

Wunderbar! Grazie! Tak!

See you at rehearsals,

Judy.

OMG This is unbelievably moving, I am having a crying fit and cannot stop can barely type this!!! fabulous performance....10 out of 10 xxx

This is the best performance I've heard of St.John's Passion, without any doubt. Maestro Suzuki, the musicians, choir and soloist did a superb job. Bach would have been completely satisfied with this brilliant performance.

..........incredible, mistical beauty,.....words become empty worthless

[josefk64]

Best ruht wohl i've ever heard.

I have this on CD. Suzuki does it almost perfectly. I used to be a huge fan of Gardiner and the Monteverdi Choir, but they disappoint me a little when they do Bach. Suzuki versions of the Passions and the cantatas are stunning.

Brillante!!!
