Wonderful performance Gil, it moved me deeply. I hope you will discuss the available recordings of the MP by Bach, which are the best and so on. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Thank you, Mr. Zilkha, for this wonderful performance!
Immortal music by Bach, because it honors the Lord and Savior, the Son of God Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose from the dead, as foretold in the scriptures! Bach was a true man of God, his musical ability was given to him by the Holy Spirit!
