@cheirographiophile tromba . . .tromba di tirasi

[MrRobertoTenore]

@InnocentParadis: That is the conundrum. The music is indeed "bright," but not "joyful": It says that your life is insignificant, and slipping away. It challenges you" How are you going to deal with that unpleasant fact?

i dont see where they are rushing to ))

[KaleidoscopeAct]

I am very curious as to the choice of straight tone from the voices and instruments. Do we have any evidence that they never used vibrato?

[Iloerk]

Very nice performance, phenomenal actually.

But I notice how extremely close the mics are and how always when I attend a baroque performance I'm dissatisfied with the lack of volume. I often wonder if the average modern man living in an industrialized country has suffered some loss of hearing, caused by machines, headphones and loudspeakers, which did not happen to people living in Bach's time.

[InnocentParadis]

Yes, Bach's music is here bright and joyful, but does this correspond to the text ? It says that the life of man is a thing of nothing...

@artois54 -- corno da tirarsi.
