Come listen to Bach - find argument about Jews. Oh Youtube...

@Dirkovic80

Wait... so now all of Hitler's rein was just inflated propaganda by Jews? What are you talking about? Germany is a great country, and German composers are some of the most respected in the world, but you can't deny that Germany had some dark days. Also, as much as I'm sure Bach loved Germany, I doubt he hated other countries as much as you seem to. He probably would have been glad if his music had drawn in other people, if only so more could experience 'the glory of god'.

@gabriellando Bach is as much subject to preference as any other musician, his music is more involved than nearly every musician than has ever lived, but "the perfection of human creativity" is still a musician. If you enjoy listening to his music then he is a good composer.

[polkusin]

[losberju]

Andreea Marcon es uno de los dos o tres escogidos.

[iguarni]

Thanks!. Most wrongly call it Passacaglia & Fugue as if it were like the Prelude/Tocatta/Fantasie & Fugue pairs, rather than the single piece it is, the final Passacaglia iteration being a fugue, but too quickly in this performance, for as the notation shows the final chord of the Passacaglia proper should have time to die away to leave the initial C of the Fugue subject alone to sound as that subject proceeds. Bach's conterpoint mastery being profound. The Neapolitan should have a cadenza.
