Thumbs up if you think the flute player is hot.

I'm a big fan of BWV582... this is one heavy, powerful performance. That ending seems to me beffiting of the creation of the universe.

Mainstream music of today is all about money and image, the music is atrocious. This music on the other hand is all about art, contrast, feeling, and an extension of the human soul. This will never die.

@TheDirection69 You are really fortunate, indeed.

I would love to be there... But, the only thing I would love more than this is to be before Bach himself. Nothing says more about him than the fact that even the greatest of composers recognize him as their father and teacher.

@TheDirection69 I envy you! I would kill to be at a performance like this :)

[TheDirection69]

Was there. There is nothing to compare this nights music. It was sublime and the organ was so powerful the hall trembled. We thought the walls were going to crumble. We didnt expect the start to be so resonating. The guest next to me was a gentle woman, but gasped and whispered to herself "Oh God".

@elopez4024 It's funny because it's more the end of the world in my opinion ^^
