AMO A BACH!!!!!

[NightSkyDarkness]

I miss the heavy men voices in the 'sind blize sind donenr' part!

[qwe07]

Yeah, it's not the most stirring rendition, but it's the only one I've got!

[FiDiTanzer528]

I love this recording too! The soloists here are Irmgard Seefried and Hertha Töpper.

[qwe07]

Thank you for the info! I didn't know who the soloists were.

[froo222]

I have the same at home! It is an old recording of the sonata, conducted by Karl Richter, with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Antonia Fahberg, Kieth Engen, and.... the Münchener Bach-Chor... so it is not a French-speaking choir. ;)

[qwe07]

Thanks! I looked up the rest of the performers and I changed the info!

[soetvienna]

the choir must be French-speaking! :)

[qwe07]

Haha! :)

What makes you say that?

[soetvienna]

Hm... I must say I changed my opinion in the meantime. At first I thought their pronunciation of the German sounded French, but this week I've met a Viennese woman who I thought to be French as well, judging on the pronunciation of her German! :)

Still, the only thing that convinces me they are not German-speaking (but perhaps French), is the "u" in "verschwunden". Listen!

[qwe07]

That's funny! Unfortunately I don't know enough about German or French to notice the differences. :/ As the joke goes, you call someone that knows one language an American. :D

But someone just posted that they are German performers!

[siebek]

I have no idea what you are talking about... sounds VERY German to me...
