Were churches in Bach's time intimate? No one knows what tempo Bach preferred. I dont mind this slightly brisk tempo, but I very much mind the bouncy bouncy gigue style with excessive accent on every down beat. Tiresome. Karl Richter is still the most satisfying.

Absolutely fabulous performance ❤ Bach's Matthew' Passion is the favourite for many, and with these period instruments it's just magical . It's what Easter is all about ❤🙏👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
If period instruments are so great, why does almost nobody listen to the Well-Tempered Clavier on harpsichord? And that includes the large majority of classical aficionados.
All soloists are just exceptional, excellent, brilliant. They possessed wonderful voices, unique both in timbre and technique. Whole text is so transparent and therefore powerful in its meaning. And their musicianship is absolutely astonishing. Of course orchestra and choir always keep up with them.
Diese Aufnahme ist ein wirkliches Gesamtkunstwerk! Höchste musikalische Schöpfung in dem ästhetischen Rahmen eines sakralen Bauwerkes wie der Chapel of the Kings College in Cambridge, vorgetragen von Sängern erlesenster Qualität! Ein wahres Ostergeschenk an jeden Zuhörenden!
Para esta época de Semana Santa que mejor que escuchar esta majestuosa obra de Bach, la he escuchado en varias ocasiones y cada vez la entiendo más y me causa mucho agrado.❤❤❤
The clarity is outstanding and the performance is second to none. I'm glad someone took the trouble to record it. I consider this to be Bach's greatest work. (And yet, at one point, Bach was no larger than the period at the end of this sentence. That's the true miracle.)
Had it not been for him, the perfomance would've got a way more likes than 1.7K out of 118K views. He spoiled everything, including a really good orchestra and the choir

“ 1:40:41”Made in England“ qué macana! Correctamente sería “Made in Saxony”. Señor Gallardoz puede ser que usted es chileno y crónicamente anglófilo? No quiero disminuir la alta calidad de la actuación, pero el hecho de que el coro y la orquesta sean ingleses no convierte la obra en más que lo que ya es. Una exquisita expresión de la genialidad de su creador Johann Sebastian Bach, Sajón.
@@carlosfoot4014 Creo que me mal interpretó. Jamás sugerí que los intérpretes fueran mejores que la música.

Mi piace tutto, in particolare l' Incipit : guardate l' Innocente, ma guardate voi stessi, uomini colpevoli di crudeltà di guerre di orrori. Bach sarà ascoltato? Sono scettico !
@@DWClassicalMusicI like everything, especially the Incipit: look at the Innocent, but look at yourselves, men guilty of cruelty of wars of horrors. Will Bach be listened to? I'm sceptical!
Rogers Covey-Crump, eine sehr passende schöne Stimme für die anspruchsvolle Rolle des Evangelisten, sehr berührend in seinem Ausdruck und seiner seelischen Reinheit..
I adore Richter, although I have to admit Klemperer is a little slow even for me. Yes, I agree most "period" performances are disagreeable with their bouncy bouncy gigue style and excessive accent on every downbeat.
Women simply werent allowed, so we dont really know what his preference might have been. Nor do we know what tempo he would have taken. As far as size of forces, he was on recored as complaining to his employer at having insufficient choir.
Wonderful music. But I really dont understand why this recording from 1994 is published this 2023? Is it of nostalgic reasons? Compared to new recordings it lacks of good picture and good sound.
Perhaps it's because it a fantastic performance and picture quality is not first and foremost in listeners minds and can get past the technological limitations which you felt the need to complain about.
This music is so beautiful. It brings tears to my eyes as I listen to it. JS Bach is an absolute genius. As far as this version is concerned, I think the Choir of Kings College-Cambridge and Brandenburg Consort have done a remarkable job. I have no complaints. Sure, maybe if this were recorded today, the sound and the video would be a tad better, but I am not going to find fault with this version because of that. The orchestra and choir did an outstanding job, what more is there to say.
Tal vez por Derechos de Autor. Tenemos la dicha de disfrutar esta extraordinaria obra e interpretación sin realizar pago alguno. Es mi humilde opinión. Gracias y saludos desde Puebla, México.
Im Vergleich zu Neuaufnahmen mangelt es aber ganz und gar nicht an hohem, ja höchstem stimmlichen Können! Dies ist eine der besten und schönsten Aufnahmen der Matthäuspassion auch durch den angemessenen Ort der Aufzeichnung im englischen Cambridge!
I don't quite get the sense of tension, drama, premonition in the opening that the score is crying out for. It's all a bit delicate. BTW, Dame Emma, as lovely as the voice is, is hardly an original instrument. Might as well have a female choir with boy soloists - that would be just as silly. A cursory glance at the historical facts would reveal that J.S. would have been more likely to use castrati, had he been a Catholic musician in a Catholic land. Never, ever women in church, "protestant" or Catholic.

This is how this piece should be performed. A small orchestra and choir in an intimate setting. Wonderul performance!

Did you notice the "lightnings" on 58:05 Sind Blitze, sind Donner (choir). Aligns so well with the lyrics.
