-Excelente!! dirección, edición del video, con imágenes claras, nítidas, tomas justas y elocuentes, abarcando toda la ejecución del tema. Así también la

calidad de los interpretes: orquesta y coro. Un deleite para los sentidos.

Thanks for posting this video very expensive. Very good, divine, like the sound of the notes of the Mass in B Minor.

Entirely wonderful - one of my life ambitions to experience the Mass live

This, and the Christmas Oratorio are amongst Bach's most 'catholic' works. The strict contrapunctual style of his other works seemt to be rather lacking in this work. It remains a mystery why Bach (a Lutheran) composed such a markedly catholic piece of music. Utterly beautiful!

@firebreathone3 catholic music? u some kinda retard?

@KingJoeKong

Clearly, you didn't quite understand what I was referring to. Bach was a protestant but this piece of music has often been described as one of his most 'catholic' pieces. From Wikipedia's page on this:

At what point Bach decided to expand the Missa into a full-blown setting of the Catholic Mass is not known

After the first time i heard this, I sat there for a minute trying to believe what I just heard was real and that a human being could have wrote this.

I get to like songs after listening it 4-5 times. In this piece,

1st time: "hmmmm"

2nd time: "oh there is something nice with it"

3rd time: "Whoaa!"

4th time: "WHOAAA! WHOAAA! WHOAAA! "

It's not Richter, it's Blomstedt, you swinebrau! Richter died before this video was made in the Thomas Church. Great reading by Blomstedt, a noted Bach interpreter. Inspired and heartfelt playing by the Dress House orchestra and heavenly singing by the choir and soloists.

The power of Bach!

@st105900

but you have not yet held hands in love with a fair german lass on a hay ride in rural pennsylvania on a cool september's night. alas.

Thank you Soli for posting this. The Richter performance on here while musically fine is a bit grainy because of its age. Also it looks like you have posted a video of Glenn Gould playing the Goldberg. Bravo!

[swamprat55]

Thank you for posting the entire Mass in B Minor. It's a wonderful performance of one of the truly great works of music.

[Notenpult]

die interpretation ist ein wenig hastig für die messe in h-moll, aber sonst sehr gut!

[wcbroccoli]

Doesn't sound at all fast to me. Not even a little bit.

It's a matter of what you're used to;

If you're used to hearing Richter's Bach, then everyone else's Bach sounds fast.
