  • zo traag hoorde ik het nog nooit. Maar wel mooi gezongen.

  • Divino y Celestial............

  • just feel what love is all about.............thanks so much for sharing...

  • Precioso.....!!!

  • Mastodóntico.

  • Pathos abounds, which is what so many 'modern' 'original' versions lack. It's almost enough to make you believe in the whole passion story.

    I bought this as a box set of LPs from a thrift shop in Germany when I was 11. I still treasure it and love it the best, and I have played in many performances over the years.

    

  • ¡Excelso!

  • @Katicooooo It was in fact taped by Philips.

  • In fact an extra-ordinary performance of this masterpiece. Although Bach could not have any idea of teh Romantic period, what a good idea from Mengelberg to give a clear Romantic touch to this work, that appeals so much to our sentiments. Quite a different thing of the moaning performances we here nowadays with the original instruments. This, to my humble opinion is music pur sang.

  • This was Palm Sunday 1939 and a shitty genius conductor had his day, but Bach signed his work for the glory of god and mengelberg collaborated absolutely with the nazi's.Isn;t Mengelberg better than God
