Verdi did't believe in god and he wrote the greatest choral religious work(Requiem)... so you do not have to be religious to enjoy religious music, Bach music is for all mankind

@Burdell22000 You need to walk in his shoes. Do you have as much knowledge as he? Maybe this interview was at the very last moment. Forget about the uuh, and listen to everything else. You might just learn something.

Dr. Robin Leaver CAN YOU FUCKING LEARN TO SPEAK BEFORE GOING TO AN INTERVIEW?????? HOW IS IT THAT A PERSON OF YR AGE NEEDS TO SAY "UUH" BETWEEN EVERY DAMN WORD??????? I couldnt last more than 5´

[sleazebee]

did bach write the text for the chorales?

[BillyReuben28]

settle down you guys. I think it should be pretty obvious that atheists, agnostics and non-lutherans can still love bach's cantatas and religious works.

"It is possible to enjoy Bach's music without subscribing to religious nonsense."

It is possible for a wallowing hog to enjoy a fine wine, but the hog will likely miss some of the wine's finer qualities.
