This wonderful woman played for us in London during the last war (1939-1945). It is a delight to hear her today. Thank you to whoever posted this lovely recording. Ida

This is as good as it gets. When the Grand Dame plays Bach on the piano, she plays it as piano music. Go Myra!

Thank you for taking the time to upload this beautiful recording of Myra Hess. I'm a huge Bach enthusiast, plus I play classical Piano, so it's wonderful to hear this piece being played to it's full potential by such a great pianist.

I usually don't like attending weddings, but listening to a piece like this reliably makes it more tolerable. Hence, I associate the work in general with a feeling of consolation, not to mention ideas of finesse, tranquility, and optimism in regards to the performance in particular.
