Bach - Magnificat - 01 - Magnificat

What happens at the first chord? sounds awful

@camilocuesta
You must not have been there to tell Ton how to do it correctly. I suggest you get on a plane right away to Amsterdam; he needs your help.

Oh I'll do anytime, it still sounds awful, I can't help it

That's just the recording. If you know anything about audio engineering, it has to do with compression. Compression is a great enhancement tool, but the initial attack is often problematic depending on the settings of the compressor. Great performance, in any case.

I am looking for a recording of the Magnificat that includes the entire song Mary sings. Most Magnificats only include 2-4 verses of the passage (repeated ad nauseum). If anyone can recommend a recording, I'd be much appreciative. Thank you.

Years ago my college choir performed this piece. Such a pleasure to hear it again. And, in this particular recording, it's also fun to watch!

Mostly from study in high school.
