49 people are lost in a generation of fake rappers, empty hip hop music, and fist bumping...

It's almost like somebody took a time machine and went with Bach and told him what was going to happen in his land and the world a few centuries after, and Bach had wept, and in that deep sorrow had written this Partita.

@zottypotty1 The idiot visual effects are for the movie, I'm surprised they spent 11 minutes of the movie 'just' for this piece.

@zottypotty1 I agree to a certain extent with what you're saying but in the case of this exceptional documentary the focus was twofold. 1) to hear the music's expressivity 2) to literally relate it to the holocaust situation, this film was bout both the sonic and the visual. the walking makes a lot more sense in these contexts :)

the best Chaconne i ever heard, he looked Confident while he play it

[zottypotty1]

Unfortunately the begining was destroyed with that sensationalist wind effect. This walking thing is useless too. Comone! Bach's music was interpreted by one of the greatest violin artist. It can't be boost with idiotic visual effects. Anyway I l'm listening this with closed eyes.

Bach himself was emotional about his creations in such a manner that he wanted them to represent his deep belief in god and thus be as perfectly calculated and constructed as possible. So in a certain way Bach can be considered both an emotional and intellectual composer an the same time, breaking common classifications as usual.

I personally prefer the intellectual side of Bach - emotions turn people into irrational monsters, Auschwitz is the perfect example.
