ti ringrazio...

sono stato molto sincero

sento la potenza di Dio(nn necessariamente quello cattolico) in questa musica unica

Grazie

This work of genius works at a range of tempi. The key is that the rhythmic and polyphonic articulations must always be crystal sharp..and not rushed...whatever the tempo.....if not, no tempo works.

Viva Bach...the highest summit of all western culture!

@calofcamelot Agreed. Good thing there is a better recording of this exact performance on youtube.

I BECOME F****** AGGRESSIVE IF A HEAR BACHS GLORIA IN ADAGIO/LENTO!!!!!

[calofcamelot]

that's it, no more loud youtube music for me. what the FUCK was that noise at the beginning of the video? I will sue

[Lassannn]

Do people just cruise YT disliking every video they can watch? For the fun of hurting someone's feelings? Because I can't think of another reason why this one was disliked.

@retrogamerdave Ahh, see I have yet to take lessons in music history and/ or conducting so my knowledge of things such as this is very gapped, which in turn is why I ask haha. Thanks!

[retrogamerdave]

@Wally773MTG baroque style of conducting? I think not--I seriously doubt that the conducting discipline had evolved that much by that style period, considering that the current style was to tap a stick on the ground to beat time. Example: the death of Jean-Baptiste Lully

But as to conducting styles, you can't argue with results--Richter gets a good sound from the orchestra and choir

[Wally773MTG]

@retrogamerdave I disagree. I ABSOLUTELY love Richter's method of conducting. So precise...it reminds me of what I would term the "British school" of conducting cathedral choirs. Also, its not superfluous when conducting Bach any more so than Gergiev's style is when conducting Tschaikovsky or Brahms. Half of it goes to the necessary attitude of the music I think.

Does anybody know: would this be a baroque style of conducting? Does anyone know where I could learn more about this method?

@lilotheanimal 'Cattolico' La significa 'universale'. Quindi non è opportuno che questa musica usata dalla chiesa cattolica è così universalmente amato oltre i confini della fede? :)

[geigenmarie]

@retrogamerdave Strictly speaking here there would be no need for a "conductor" in the modern sense of the word, I think. If it is well rehearsed, the orchestra plays anyway. (If a conductor is hard to follow, a good orchestra musician does not look at the conductor, but follows his/her ears! It's as simple as that...) Bach himself used to "conduct" his musicians either from the position at the hapsichord or the leading violin. That's enough...
