Does it have to be a case of 'right' vs ;wrong' all the time. Can't people just be left in peace to say 'I enjoyed that' or 'it didn;t do it for me'?

I'd like to say....'what an awesome work'...'Thank you JS Bach!'

Voces8, que nous avons écouté lors d'un récital en octobre dernier, nous a laissés...sans voix !! Pour notre petit groupe de chanteurs dans un choeur amateur, c'était un comble !

La perfection de leur interprétation, leur performance vocale, leur présence sur "scène" et leur amicale proximité après le concert nous ont absolument séduits !

Nous sommes fans for ever !!

[JoelvanLennep]

MUCH too fast - the rhythm becomes scrambled! Also the "perfect blonde" singer on the extreme left thinks her part is a solo one. (The Bach-recommended continuo part is missing too.) Miking wrong for the acoustic. Too bad!

[MsLimima]

Flûte ! j'ai oublié de dire que c'est Avignon qui accueillait ce groupe...Nous les y reverrons avec un immense plaisir...if they want !

@1banders : I worked in a cemetery as a grave digger and a spitter was the name used for a spade which in turn served as a shovel ! I believe that I have a copy of Spitta re-published by Dover Publications in my library.

[vocescantabilesmusic]

an interesting and ferocious debate! Surely the most obvious thing to do is watch this video if you like it and don't if you don't like it?!! You may be interested to know that VOCES8 has recorded all six of the motets on Signum Classics with continuo and doubling strings and woodwind. I should dare say it is not too easy for the group to carry an orchestra in its pocket when on tour, especially when this was one piece in a 20 piece programme and the rest of the music was all a cappella.

@3NUNS : This is so perfect is it not 3NUNS ! No need for accompaniament !

[3NUNS]

Alleluia !

[1banders]

@3NUNS You seem unable to grasp the meaning of the paragraph or the significance of Spitta's comment within the context of that paragraph. The issue is not whether Spitta's assumption is "satisfied." You seem utterly clueless about the function of basso continuo or the implication of Spitta's statement. Serious shortcomings for a music critic.
