Absolutelly beautiful! Thanks for posting

Lunga vita a Ton Koopman e alla sua grande musica!

yes koopman is the best

I've being learning latin and ancient greek at the high school for 5 years, they are so beautiful. Do the other european students study those ancient languages at school?

In Hungary we do.

magnifico! dall'inizio alla fine

"Bach's copy of a two volume Bible commentary by the orthodox Lutheran theologian, Abraham Calov, was discovered in the 1950s in a barn in Minnesota, purchased apparently in Germany as part of a 'job lot' of old books and brought to America by an immigrant. Its provenance was verified [...]. It contains his markings of texts for his cantatas and notes. [...] A study of the so-called Bach Bible was prepared by Robin Leaver [...] (St. Louis, Concordia Publishing House, 1985)." (sic: 'Wikipedia').

There are only four reasons why some people hate Ton Koopman:

A) They are ignorant;
B) They are obtuse;
C) They are envious;
D) All the previous three voices.


An intelligent, cultured, wise person with knowledge cannot hate a great musician and a highly cultured, wise, intelligent man like Ton Koopman.

Then surely Bach was an ignoramus with neither knowledge, intelligence, nor wisdom.
