Bach - Magnificat - 10 - Suscepit Israel

Ton Koopman has reached legendary status.

the gates of heaven to our senses...

I REALLY LOVE IT!!

MY FAVOURITE PART IS: 0:57-1:12 Minute

That's my favorite part too. If only Bach could have known how much He would be loved in the centuries following His passing.

don't think so... I've always heard it done on trumpet... perhaps if there is no trumpet player available

Bach often revised his works for repeat performances.

This is the earlier version (Magnifcat in E-flat BWV 243a). It uses a trumpet to intone the Magnificat plainsong.

The later version (Magnificat in D, BWV 243) uses two oboes in unison.

I was a first... and I completely agree with you. That just goes to show that he made every line interesting and exciting, yet fit in with such a harmony that is absolutely breathtaking. It is quite humbling to sing such music... especially when you take into account that this guy composed movements like this in less than twenty or so minutes.
