Johann Sebastian Bach
Mass in B minor, BWV 232 - 1. Kyrie eleison (chorus)
John Eliot Gardiner conducts English Baroque Soloists & Monteverdi Choir

[@arielmorandy8189]

Very solid chorus, and top leadership, strong musicians, and legendary writing, what else to say. Peace for the world 2024 maybe? Lets prepare for the future of humanity, we can start right here with outstanding piece of our beloved Bach.

Bach has a magical flow to his best work that no other classical artist has ever been able to match. So much pulling at the heartstrings from all angles, magnifique!

[@tobirocha]

10 minutes? That seems like only 3... It's just Bach's magic!

[@rafikbaladi6555]

Simply divine. Well done and thank you all. Mr. Gardiner I watched you and Helmut Rilling in Stuttgart in 1985. Thank you for your devotion

One of Bach's final compositions in it's complete form, it was started years before in application for a post as Kappellmeister in the court of Dresden. But the great irony is that he finished this monumental and sublime work knowing he would never hear it performed. Why? I like to think that, being Lutheran, he was not permitted to write the standard Catholic Mass which has a musical tradition going back several hundred years and was a genre written by a long list of great composers. Bach wished to add to this body of works and the tradition with his own masterpiece, his contribution to the literature. And we hear his genius on full display. The Kyrie is a piece not written in any form that can readily be defined: it is above, beyond what had come before. It is fugue, concerto, sonata at once, and neither of each. In it's entirety it is the SUMMA of Western Musical thought up to that time and made greater by Bach's hand and craftsmanship. Through that loftiness one can truly hear the voice of God Himself.

Johann Sebastian, n. 1 forever.

Sounds absolutely magical!

[@cletedavis5849]

Joe, this is the first movement of one of the most magnificent musical compositions he world has ever experienced. Take the time to listen to the complete work sometime.

J. E. Gardiner + Monteverdi Choir + English Baroque Soloists are the best.

[@motishefer4732]

Don't forget Hanah Morrison.

[@zurnu74]

If Bach asked me who is the best musician today, I would answer "You"

[@andrewlaycock3269]

Bach - no contest. Even Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Mendelssohn, etc. put Bach as number one.

[@paoloangeri5146]

coro e orchestra grandissima emozione guidati da un grande direttore bravissimi

[@alvarocambon6444]

The most beautifull fugue in the history of music is here.

[@hoon_sol]

I'd say some of the ones from _The Art of Fugue_ are better fugues; but this is certainly the best explicitly choral work written.

[@calcshifiar8168]

passacaglia and fugue in c minor

[@Tasos0079]

J.S. Bach really was an unparalleled genius in contrapunto. I've heard from some people that his music is too difficult to follow, perhaps some might consider it too austere, but I simply love the "mathematical" structure of its nature. When I was learning the piano he was by far my favorite composer. This chamber music orchestra allong with the conductor and the choir have done a magnificent job with this piece. Bravo for a spectacular performance.

[@_Athanos]

I'd say that Palestrina's mastery of counterpoint equals that of Bach, give it a go, it's truly spectacular

[@Zydraxis]

i had hard time to listen to bach for long. but eventually i trained my ears to listen to his music and classical music in general. at fist i found parts very good and some boring but with time the more i listened i discovered more and more. my most fav piece of bach is air on a g string.

[@ivanbeshkov1718]

The ratio of thumbs up to views is not as high as it should be. Should be thrice as much. Great as Bach is, Mozart's Kyrie from Davidde Penitente is at least as impressive. Haydn wrote to Leopold Mozart in 1785: "Before God, and as an honest man, I tell you that your son is the greatest composer known to me either in person or by name. He has taste, and, what is more, the most profound knowledge of composition." I would add, that the sentiments Mozart expresses are top notch. Glenn Gould dissented.

Mozarts took a little from all the major masses of the time including this one for his final masterpiece. Mozart took it to another level with classical style. Mozart also used parts of Michael haydna requiem

[@jsc5492]

How many of the 15 Mozart Masses do you actually know?

Gardiner Bach h-Moll Messe

[@beethovenlovedmozart]

Amazing that mozart neared "greatest" status by being the best to study this man. Give mozart about 15 or 20 more years and mozart would've surpassed not only bach , but everyone. Mozart studied Bach to revolutionize the classical style. Beethoven studied Mozart to move to the new romantic style. Had Mozart lived longer , he would've been the main bridge.
