Oh, I just have seen now, that you are wrote a question to me. I'm sorry, I don't know the name of the ensemble singing that interpretation of "Immortal Bach".

Have a nice time,

greets

Oh, I've just seen now, that you wrote a question to me in April. I'm sorry, I don't know the name of that ensemble singing this interpretation of "Immortal Bach".

Have a nice time,

greets

@iGutenberg The fantastic thing with this piece is the impression it can make just because people dont follow the indications you mention. You get the differences in length and dynamics as results of the resources of the choir in question and of the conductor's interpretation and of the acoustics. The present version is a very good one and the longest I have heard. Others even repeat the original Bach version at the end.

[MitziTsetse]

Oh my god, this is heart-wrenchingly beautiful.

Just listened this piece live one hour ago!

@tbridge001 The score indicates the speed of each divisi group (specified as 5 to each group), by way of how long each quarter note should be held: from 4 seconds per quarter note for the quickest group, to 12 seconds for the slowest group (4, 6, 8, 10, 12).

This is a fabulous piece and very nicely done here... but every group here on YouTube does it in a different way, and this doesn't follow Nystedt's score, though keeps to the spirit. Does it say anywhere in the score that interpretation is open to the individual choir? I missed that....

Amazing song! but sure it's damn hard singing it :I

[charroprimo]

Non so se sia possibile paragonare un suono ad una mano che ti accarezza, ma questo è quello che ho provato sulla pelle.

Bach may have died, but he lives through his immortal music.

Ich selbst habe es 2010 mit dem Stadtchor Freiberg in Sachsen und Thüringen singen dürfen. Es war sehr beeindruckend. Im Vorfeld gab es intern Diskussionen, weil sich einzelne Sänger mit dem textlichen Inhalt sehr kritisch auseinandersetzten ("süßer" vs. "Tod" = Todessehnsucht oder Erlösung von Qualen). Doch gerade das, ist nach meiner Auffassung ebenso Aufgabe der Musik, neben der Unterhaltung.
