  • Max Reger sagte einmal Bach sei der Anfang und das Ende aller Musik. Jetzt wissen wir was er damit gemeint hat. Die h-Moll Messe ist ein epochales Meisterwerk: einmalig und unerreicht.

  • Let us contemplate the possibility that Bach is the greatest genius who has ever lived (second to Jesus, I'm not kidding) for he gives us a glimpse of the face of God.

    too fast.

  • Beautifullll!

  • Have you permission from the Dean of Christ Church Cathedral Dublin to use a picture of the interior of the Cathedral on here?!!

  • Bach makes me fall to my knees to praise God...

  • @Sheilazag Yes. It astonishes me that so many people seem to believe that the film "Amadeus" is an accurate representation of Mozart and Salieri.

  • @Sheilazag \Sorry for my English, I'm Brazilian and out of practice!

    Actually, "Amadeus" is a theatre work. It's a methaphore about envy. As it took such great and famous composers, and with its movie version, people took it as if it's the real Mozart and Salieri's biography. What can we do? Just try to inform, that's the best we can do about it!

  • @OfficialRJLextro Yes, they sometimes found themselves competing for the same projects, and Salieri was sometimes chosen over Mozart, which Mozart (in his letters) attributed to an Italian conspiracy. But Mozart and Salieri also collaborated on some projects. And Salieri admired and performed Mozart's music publicly. In fact, there was no conspiracy. But "Amadeus" spun a tale of pure cinematic fiction out of Mozart's misapprehensions.

  • @Eldonstromberg1 From the 1st to 5th I mean in the musical scale
