MusicOne Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 This is not a CD, but the performance is available on YouTube. Another of Bach's unsurpassable choral works, the great 'Mass in B Minor' (High Mass). This time with the choir of St Thomas Church, Leipzig......the very church where J.S. Bach served as Cantor (for more than 20 years), until his passing in 1750. The 'Gloria' from Bach's 'Mass in B Minor'. A quite animated performance (from 2013) and good audio quality. And now the towering conclusion to Bach's Mass in B Minor......Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace). Was Johann Sebastian Bach the greatest genius ever produced by the human race? 3
Dilettanteque Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 Isabelle Faust and Alexander Melnikov - Beethoven: Sonatas for Violin and Piano I really quite enjoy this version of the sonatas for its energy and engagement. My most familiar point of comparison is Perlman /Ashkenazy. 2

arpasquill Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) This CD by the Latvian Radio Choir is fantastic, highlighting music by Ešenvalds, Vasks and Bryars. The highlight of the CD is the Cadman Requiem which was written for a friend of Gavin Bryars who was killed in the Lockerbie air crash in 1988. CD ripped to Innuos Zen Mini Mk 3 and playing via Roon Edited January 7, 2022 by arpasquill 2
MusicOne Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Here is a performance of J.S. Bach's monumental oratorio, St Matthew Passion (BWV 244). This is one of the summits of Western classical music and it takes a full 2 hours 33 mins to unfold. It is here performed by the Tölzer Knabenchor (Tolzer Boys Choir) and the Hofkapelle München, conducted by Christian Fliegner. The soprano and alto arias are sung by boys (trebles), which is a tad unfair, although it corresponds to the practice of Bach's time. However, they (the boy soloists) do a mighty job of it but it's really asking a bit too much of them. The instruments are (largely) period instruments of Bach's time (or copies). I have chosen the magnificent final chorus .... " Wir setzen uns mit Tränen nieder "....We sit down with tears And call to you in your tomb. A truly heart-wrenching conclusion to what is sometimes claimed to be the greatest choral work, ever written. This is a magnificent and energetic performance and well worth a viewing. As I always say, turn up the volume and enjoy. Edited January 10, 2022 by MusicOne 1 1
