For Sebastian Bach, just another day at the office. Have it ready by Sunday. Mind-boggling

[@erichodge567]

I know! It's crazy...

[@ousley421]

How on all of this earth did someone find this many musicians with a deep love for the composer to fulfill the original score with period correct instruments and absolute perfection?

[@lacydtaylor1323]

😊😊

[@catavasken]

Not a rarity in Western Europe, where professional musicians abound. There is a conservatory in almost every corner.

I am preparing to play some organ preludes before Christmas Mass. This superb performance is calming my soul. What a gift. Thank you.

Very bad sound engineering!

[@alessandromarchesini9039]

Peter Burandt, can you explane me why you think this? I'm not expert about sound engeneering and i didn't understood. Thank you so much.

[@peterburandt4586]

@@alessandromarchesini9039 I'm not an expert at sound engineering either but I know a good sound or bad sound when I hear it. Compare this one to other recordings on KZbin and come to your own conclusion. But most of all enjoy the music you are listening to regardless of what other's opinions may be 🙂

[@francoisvaillancourt7309]

I don’t understand why you are not happy with the recording. May I suggest you upgrade your equipment.

[@sophiemaele6787]

Counter-tenors are counter to good music. Stop being woke and just use an Alto.

[@ChristovanRensburg]

Agree 100%. And they all sound exactly the same.

[@petergaskin1811]

So what? It was written for a counter-tenor. Shut up and listen.

[@petergaskin1811]

@@ChristovanRensburg So what? Grow up.

[@mysticmouse7261]

A thoroughly unmusical statement especially saying altos sound like tenors. Bach was not woke. It's his scoring.

[@mclarsj]

The word" Woke" did not exist in the 1800's... It was conventional in those days to use contratenors or male alto's (falsetto's if you like) because women were not allowed to sing in choirs in churches...I know this sounds ridiculous now...Bach wrote specifically those high parts for male soprano's or boys...never seen Farinelli?
