Bach - St. Matthew Passion BWV 244 (Karl Richter, 1971) - 6/22

[@karlbachfan566]

About the best interpretation that has ever been performed. And what an Evangelist - Peter Schreyer is THE ONE!

[@MrGratefulheart]

Peter Schreier is just flat out phenomenal...

who was organist?

[@JamesKoenig]

Such dramatic pacing. If you appeared before most conductors today and sang it that way, they'd be all over you to speed it up. No-one seems to realize that if you skim over the text, you lose the depth of the piece. Perhaps there is a "middle-ground" regarding performance practice and tempi-- but this music clearly was not written to be chirped. Present day tempi in a baroque acoustical setting would be mud.

[@MrGratefulheart]

...with these voices, and the size of the choirs, these tempi are quite doable.... I love it... I've performed some of it "faster", and it was beautiful, but really... what's the hurry? :)

Where was this filmed? It looks like a very modern building.

[@MrGratefulheart]

German Television... a sound studio, I think...

[@gotham61]

Bavaria Studios in Munich. It's a film sound stage. Filmed in May 1971.

This work almost makes you want to convert to Christianity.

[@NYCBG]

Fortunately only "almost".
