@deanmnaz great notice .. they pronounce the "c" in "nunc" at exactly the same second !

um ... please continue singing for ever and ever .. -
@designedsayer check Google Translate, it can translate from Latin to English !

sometimes I feel that when Bach writes music for vocals he assumes they can sing this music as easy as if he is playing it on his organ ... he makes singers suffer but listeners reach ecstasy !

Brilliant, Harnoncourt's musical director is very fine indeed. Can you tell me where this performance was done? Many thanks. Christopher

@TheEs379 Nicolaus Harnoncourt is one of THE most influencial and prolific conductors of the last 30 years in Europe. He is also one of the most fascinating music scholars (his knowledge is staggering) and promotor of musical education for children.



The crisp diction from the choir and soloists, especially in the "Sicut erat in principio" are awesome, especially in the end of the next line "in principio et nunc". The entire choir/soloists end the word "nunc" about as clearly and crisply as I've ever heard!
Other than the bass soloist poor ending in Sicut Locutus Est with his timing off with the ending words "in saecula", this entire oratorio was OUTSTANDING!
I wish I could put the audio portion on CD and wear it out in my car.

The orchestra is really good; Mr Harnoncourt is undoubtedly great; Bach is... how shall I put it?Bach is only the God... Mr Harnoncourt´s face at the beginning of the movement is really electrifying... Thank you, Mr Harnoncourt, for this wonderful performance. Thank you, our great Bach, for this celestial inspiration... You are always in my heart.
