    Such an excellent music in such an excellent performance! When I finished the listening I just could think "No matter if I had to die right now, for this would be the last thing I'd have heard in my life". I can´t imagine a better end than the lullaby tone of "Ruht wohl...Ruht wohl, und bringt auch mich zur Ruh´." I am not a believer, so I don't want my sins to be forgiven just before my death in order to reach God in heaven...I just want to listen to music such as this because I´m sure that way I will be able to reach Bach wherever he is...Thanks to all members of AAM for almost two hours of such fine pleasure and delight!!!

    Can I just say I sincerely agree with everybody complementing this exquisite performance and the wonderful performers. This is a very moving and convincing interpretation. By all involved. Admittedly, Andrew Bearden Brown, Christopher Moore and Oscar Golden-Lee are particularly beautiful! In more ways than one.
    But I have to add … what struck me as well, is the first row of very young listeners on the left isle behind the conductor - some in shorts, and one of them wearing flip flops even (and yes I know it was mid summer, and yes I understand and no, I don’t mind that one bit. On the contrary.) - I find it strangely hopeful that still quite a (happy) few of our young generation are open to this profound and exceptional cultural heritage.
    I think the presence of these "young'uns" is a strangely beautiful testament to the timeless quality of the music as well as the story.

    If I didn't already believe in God, Bach would make me a believer. I had a teacher at the Manhattan School of Music when I was a graduate student there in the 1980's who used to say: "there's no bad Bach; just some that's less great." Most of it IS great!

    It is not just beautiful music, it is a faith song, a faith that had been shown by Bach. I think Bach would the listener not just involved when listened to his music, but challenged them to get to know who he believes in. Just consider about this: how it be possible a man composed so consitently sacred music, through his lifetime? I think it is not just that Bach work in church, but rather it is about the faith, the faith that God had given to him. So guys, just think and consider to have the same faith with Bach, when you listen to his music like this, include his cantatas.

      The performance was part of the Milton Abbey International Summer Music Festival; those you see in the front (wearing lanyards) were participants in all or part of a the week-long series of workshops, education, and music making, alongside being able to attend a series of glorious concerts such as these. It was a very hot summer week, with blue skies and sunshine on the lawns and grounds outside Milton Abbey; a number of the audience had been making music outside in the sun just before this concert, so I don't think their attire is cause for any concern.
