To me, Karl Richter was one of the Greatest Organists and "Bach" and "Handel" conductors ever. It take great discipline to conduct this kind of "Baroque" music and Choirs. He left us far too soon, what a great loss to the World. I believe the recording was made in Munich Cathedral if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, this is music at it's best.

Actually, I think this version is much better to just listen to without being distracted by Richter's rather fierce and military style. It just works and the result is excellent. Those trumpets are fabulous.

OMG, his control seems more like Darth Vader's one handed strangle choke, lifting his victim's feet off the ground. And is he reprimanding someone a 0:13? I can just see him, eyes ablaze, shooting purple bolts of lightning out of his fingers and frying half the violin section as he disintegrates the First Chair... :o

Where did you hear/read that? I'm interested in going deeper into Bach's musical life.
HolyMotherofGrid:
Have you ever heard about DISCIPLINE? Discipline and many hours of investigation on the part of Richter, of much training and rehearsals is behind this sublime performance and all of them like this. Everything fits as ina a clockwork. Richter's "militar" gesture is the product of discipline, but so it is the whole renderization too. It is not easy to lead and move more than a hundred people and achieve this results. He was not a conductor, but a leader.

A los apocalípticos: Charles Rosen, en "The Classic Style", habla de la orquesta que Mozart añoraba para sus obras, y que jamás tuvo: "He is quite clear about what he wanted: 40 violins, 10 violas, 6 celli, 10 double-basses (!) and double wind on each part. Even remembering that all the instruments of the time were a little softer than those of the present day, this is still a force almost twice than which any conductor dares to use now for a Mozart symphony". Aplíquese a Bach.
