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.

@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
Mengelberg's interpretation brings you to tears.
