J.S. Bach: Chorale Prelude: O Mensch Bewein Dein Sunde Gross, BWV 622

Optimal Sound when viewed in High Quality ( &fmt=18 )...
ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SESQUIALTRAS IN THE WORLD!...
Michael Murray plays the famous 1738 Christian Muller Organ, that Handel and Mozart made pilgrimages to, at the Great Church of St. Bavo, Haarlem, the Netherlands, performing Bach's Chorale Prelude O Mensch, Bewein Dein Sunde Gross, BWV 622...

English Translation:
O Man, bemoan thy grievous sins
For which Christ left His Father's
Bosom and came down to earth
And was born for us of a pure
And tender Virgin as He wished
To become our Mediator. He raised
The dead to life, healed the sick
Until the time appointed for Him
To be sacrificed for us, when He
Bore the heavy burden of our sins
On the Cross.

Thank You for listening!

perfect untampered undistorted playing. this is Bach and nothing else. The player has gotten himself out of the way, and only the composer's music exists.

well spoken!

Beautiful.... how can great music not be appreciated now adays, is all noise now and sensless beats, meaningless notes too gray to understand, this is a rainbow of sounds, thanks for posting this grand piece by the father and only father Bach.

[csheff1014]

AMEN!

[bagnewauckland]

So Very True.

I find it quite sad that there are very few young people who enjoy and appreciate this music for what it really is: Masterful!

I pride myself, as a 14 year old, in my choice of listening material: I Listen to music, where others listen to noise.

Fantastico davvero. Per chi vuole sentire Bach e nient'altro, M.Murray è l'interprete ideale: è un Bach senza fronzoli, elegante, pacato, musicale, insomma un po' l'opposto di una scuola ormai imperante che nascondendosi dietro l'ipocrisia della filologia ti dà un Bach odioso, irritante e insopportabile (ma è solo questione di gusti). Murray fu allievo di Marcel Dupré. L'Organo di San Bavo non ha bisogno di alcun commento... è di una bellezza incredibile.

My mother bought an album recorded by Dr. Albert Schweitzer with this music.

I just watched this performed by the American Symphony Orchestra. It was amazing.

Ich wusste gar nicht, dass es so viele Menschen gibt, denen solche Musik so viel bedeutet. Ich liebe Orgel-Musik.

@eddiemperor agree, and I hate Pop, high five!

@PhysicalsimForever Well Said.

[eddiemperor]

@FXIX Yeah mostly i was referring to Popular Music, I don't get it, there is no purpose annymore, Oh yes my teenage years i grew up on Punk,Metal, Rock, Etc, That music still has Meaning to the young listener :) I'm a big Sex Pistols fan and Exploited as well :) Bach was a Revolutionary genius who's Music is Extremely Hard to put in words, yet it is Essential to any true Music Lover, When punk came out it was criticized but it was so Revolutionary just like Beethoven's last quartets :)

@eddiemperor This piece is beautiful and incomparable, but you cannot generalize music in current generation are just "Noise". This may sound ridiculous, but this may because I appreciate two extremes of music (Classical (generally) to Punk Rock ) perhaps.

@bagnewauckland Well said! I am currently 16years old, and I simply cannot fathom how children these days can listen to such trash! It, too, pities me how few young people are able appreciate this wonderful music. What ever happened to classical music? Young people will never understand true emotion, passion, and music without understand the classics like Bach, Widor, and Dupre! Such a pity.
