J. S. Bach - Missa in G Minor BWV 235 - 1. Kyrie (1/6)

[MycbhNewswire]

For those who whimsically critique Bach's recycling of music - well you try to produce a masterpiece every week and then criticize a great master! A diamond is still a diamond no matter how many settings you put it on.

As Ton Koopman told,the music is that of J.S.BACH,and as Bach himself stated,"any piece of music which is not written for the God, is a sound not a music"

About 2/3 of Bach's B-minor Mass parodies cantata movements, as do his other masses.

This Mass In g, BWV 235, parodies mvts. from cantatas BWV 72, BWV 102, BWV 187.

You might want to compare with cantata originals.

you could just randomly type in a BVW number and 9 in 10 of the times someting great comes out... It's somehow disturbing how good that ugly old JS Bach was... and still is. :D

Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir are a classic in our time. Thanx for sharing, I love this..
