GRACIAS INFINITAS.

When I was in music school in the '70s, this was my go to recording. I could just listen to the Chorales and feel fulfilled...and there's so much more!!!

[@khothye]

This Recitativo of the Bass (Jesus) and the Soprano Aria are simply sublime, ultraterrenal, extremely moving, it always touches my heart when I listen it and makes me cry. I can't imagine how a simple man was able to write something so profound and beautifull.

Johann Sebastian Bach was not a simple man, he was the greatest musical genius of all times.

[@khothye]

@@pbassat I know very well who was Johann Sebastian Bach... I only tried to say that he was "a man", not a god. However, he composed extraterrenal music, in my modest opinion. Only a metaphore... :)

When we're able to understand, what was beautiful gets perfect.

Bach é para se ouvir de joelhos...

Indeed, although I also like very much the Herreweghes, Arnoncourts and the like, this is THE master.
