Is this available on CD? If yes where can I get it?

[Schleiermacher1000]

Absolutely magnificent. The whole enterprise was superbly carried off. It gave me tremendous pleasure. This piece is the very definition of "uplift"! Bravo all

Brilliant - can it be performed any better than this - I do not think so !!

[jmiducdm]

Avouez Monsieur Herrewegheque vous êtes merveilleusement servi par cet obscur compositeur dont j'ai oublié le nom !!!

[ibk1980]

Mark Padmore is incrediable!!!! Love his interpretations...

[MrQuequestring]

Fantástico. Aunque el oratorio supone algo solemne solo me transmite paz y alegría. Bravo por esta interpretación tan limpia y grande a la vez..

[KXASAE]

La perfezione

[arpionatore]

Sublyme.

[jeanpaul20012]

[pepitho]

sobrecogedor

estoy impresionado... cada vez más

[adwinters]

Absolutely beautiful, transparent and festive.

[MartaErmy]

@cwcaplinger: u're right. Above all the diction should be revised. Then a bit tempo too. However this execution is fantastic! Few singers and few instrumenst. I sung it in a concert with an enormous orchestra and an enormous choir. Live it was fantastic, but in the recording u can hear quite only the orchestra 'cause there was too much space btw the choir and people...then the conductor was absolutely incapable and so...we followed the orchestra and the orchestra followed us! It's been funny!!

[amacine]

que bien los solistas.. muy hermoso!!

[Ellie49]

I'm a retired oboe player. I would have LOVED to work for this conductor back when I was still performing. His work is simply impeccable.

[roberto38766]

Ouvir Bach, é irresistivelmente bom!

[josefk64]

Superb!!

[cwcaplinger]

The chorus has a marvelous tone, but the room they are singing in is very live. I don't think they compensated enough with their diction for the heavy acoustics of that chapel. Also, I think the tempo could have been a few clicks faster to brighten the movement and to inspire more articulation and energy.

[jjfhunter93]

In der beschreibung wir Peter Kooy anders geschrieben ! Er heißt PETER KOOIJ !!!

[Elizium1970]

yes! perfect !!!

[AchillesValda]

Bravo Philippe Herreweghe!!!! super, super super!!!!

[saturne46]

Merveilleux musiciens. Quel plaisir ils nous donnent ! Bravo

[ragnark02]

¡Dios cómo molas Herreweghe!

[Faircrowd1]

This is fantastic, thank you very much

[Aapton]

I have a recording in which the bass and tenor begin this movement with a duet and the chorus enters not earlier than after 4 minutes. Does anyone know whether there are different versions or something like that? btw, this together with all bach's music is absolutely the highest achievement in human history.

[bertjodokuss]

If I'm not mistaken the one starting with the duet is the first and the one performed here the second version.

Just like the opening chorus of BWV 110 this was originally an instrumental movement. How many composers would have had the ability to add a four part chorus to pieces which are already difficult enough by themselves ?

[dis0guise]

I'm used to the duet version (the bass and tenor sing Peter and John later on, but the words are suitable enough for them to sing in character). You can really tell in that version that the music wasn't originally written for these words, but the result is still thrilling.

[chriskutscher]

bravo bravo!

[wachtelms]

Fabulous!

[bertjodokuss]

W o n d e r f u l !

Mr. Herreweghe is by far my favourite conductor in this repertoire. Unfortunately he seems to be the only one of the (to my opinion) great Bach conductors who doesn't want to record all of Bach.

[phillipebach]

Magnifica interpretación...!!!

[aelfricbetera]

excellent orchestra and chorus......like this very much.....

[ariosobasso]

Der Bass-Sänger ist Peter Kooij

the most outstanding Bach-Basso !!!

[arpionatore]

Genial.Thanks.

[toml714]

Bach at his best. Male choral duet stunning. Bravo.

[wundoc]

the lady playing cello is agneet zweestra.

she´s beautiful and plays magnificent,

heard her a few times.

holding the cello between her knees, so that the cello does not touch the floor.

the first time i saw her playing, her, i fell in love..

[firebreathone]

Jaap ter linden is the other cellist. He's also starred in Koopman's ABO

[firebreathone]

The cellist has also starred in Koopman's ABO

[firebreathone]

The cellist at 0:37 looks strangely familiar (i am referring to the lady) can anyone give me more info. about her

[mishmash1001]

Love it!

Herreweghe or Koopman?

Herreweghe?

[ariosobasso]

Herreweghe!!!

[nisc63]

keep up the good work
