    One reason for the motionless is for absolute precision control over the airway and enunciation.

    Bach himself wrote of the need for vocalists to remain still and 'in perfection', not only for good sound production, but also in humble service to the music.

    Unfortunately, many performers (though not that lady in blue) seem to feel the need to resemble a treetop in a hurricane, waving this way and that, as though the performance were about them and not the music.

  • A good bach piece is like a well oiled machine.

  • Sublime!

  • wachet auf...não dá para 'não' despertar com uma glória musical como é esse coral...

  • polyphonic?

  • I suppose this is one of the best performances of anything, ever. Simply uneblievable.

  • Wunderbar! Genauso gehört diese Kantate interpretiert. Alles wie es sein muss. Wie immer bei Herrn Koopmann. Kompliment!!

  • Ja so ist es gemeint - das Tempo sitzt - Good work and the rhythm is brilliant - not slow not fast - this is joy in my ears Geehrter Herrr Koopman vielen Dank - best regards from Leipzig JSB Cantor

  • The temperment is different, no? It sounds like A 415.
