"Credo" from Bach's Mass in B Minor Part 1

[jkpiano]

This is by far my favourite recording of this work, would love to here it live, they have such vitality in every respect! I can't help but wonder though why it is that everytime I log on to listen to some wonderful music I always find the comments consist of two know-it-alls trying to out smart one another, why can't you just enjoy the music, do you really care so much about being right? Is it really worth it? Interesting and respectful exchanges of ideas are great but this seems pointless.

The Jesus statue at ~5:05 was surprisingly race appropriate.

[1banders]

@GyveTurckee And what "race" might that be?

[GyveTurckee]

@1banders One of middle-eastern descent.

[1banders]

@GyveTurckee "Middle-Eastern" is not a race, and includes very different looking peoples. For example, Arabs and Persians.

[GyveTurckee]

@1banders You sure are smart for an illiterate person, but you will have to read ALL the words to know the meaning of my statement, and you only seem to understand one word at a time. A literate person can look at all the words of a written statement, and discern their contextual relationships to one another to grasp the nuance of the statement and formulate a cohesive response as opposed to blurting out free-associations to the keyword.

[1banders]

@GyveTurckee Oh, but I did read ALL your words, and in context. That's how I'm able to conclude that you don't really even know the meaning or proper usage of the terms "illiterate", "cohesive", "race" or "middle-eastern." You fool no one by your long-winded pretense to having the upper hand.

[GyveTurckee]

@1banders I fooled you just by writing in English. I don't need to defend my words; they stand correct. Good luck with further non-verbal communication despite your illiteracy.

[1banders]

@GyveTurckee Defend your words? Fool, you don't even know the meaning of your words.

"Illiterate": 1. having little or no education; especially : unable to read or write. 2. showing or marked by a lack of familiarity with language and literature. 3. showing or marked by a lack of acquaintance with the fundamentals of a particular field of knowledge.

"GyveTurckee": One who pretends that he knows what he's talking about. A bullshitter.

You stand corrected and exposed.

[GyveTurckee]

@1banders Yep, you conform to definition 1. Namely because you argue based on a misapprehension because of your inability to READ and comprehend the very first thing I wrote to you. In just five short words you ignored pronoun, preposition, adjective, and syntax which created a communication breakdown making you effectively illiterate. I do not care what you think you know about anthropology, semantics, or the proper usage of quotation marks; I have said nothing inaccurate. Cheers.

A performance that's so refreshing when compared with Richter's, good as the latter is.

[thinedoor2]

This is the very first movement I've ever heard of Bach's music. It really jarred my aesthetic consciousness at the time, and I still get a little introspective and misty-eyed whenever I hear it.

[AZazaxe]

I never get tired of this movement

[Cali4Obama]

Beautiful & thoughtful compilation of images...Great job! Also this is my favorite recording of the Mass!

[popraprockfreak1]

Nancy Argenta, soprano, and Michael Chance, countertenor.

[jorensjors]

no this is not a counter-tenor

[ozzycouture]

The vocals in this recording are so clear.  I love that I can defferentiate the soprano from the mezzo-soprano.

MAGNIFICENT!

Who sings this version?

[oigressestor]
