Finally an ensemble that doesn't find it necessary to set a new world speed record with the opening Sinfonia!

[metaoskam]

Playing, singing and dancing (the organ) it's the way how Bach praised his God! Halleluja!

[samko]

This is the finest rendition of this glorious and majestic music that I have ever heard. The Sinfonia is my favorite piece of music of all time. The performance here is just exquisite!

[wielandwittmann]

Bach = the voice of God and the music of the angels. 👍👍👍👏👏👏🙋

Ms. Mueller is a lady who sings this solo with authority. Same with Mr. Berchtold-- I wish I could be a tenor like him. Blessings to all of you in appreciation of your skills.

I love the aria with tenor and violin: Bach is the master of musical dialogue.

[Ipsifendis]

the tempo you have chosen to begin the sinfonia is terrific - you can really move and relax at the same time and the organist doesn't seem to be engaged in a speed contest with the orchestra. in so many recordings and performances of this piece either the organ, the orchestra or both end up taking an already-too-fast beginning tempo to something two notches faster by the end and all the conductor can do is flap his arms faster and faster to match the runaway ensemble. it's not a contest. furthermore the forces employed in the orchestra nicely work FOR the organ and not against it - also in many recordings the organ becomes lost by the end of the sinfonia, resulting too often in what i call the "I'M STILL HERE" final trill of the organ. excellent job.

A beautiful breezy Sunday afternoon, a cup of tea, ginger biscuits and this unbelievably inspiring divinely ordained praise from the incomparable Bach.
Life here in Southport Queensland Australia could be better, but not this side of heaven.

Ce magnifique ensemble nous rend Bach dans toute sa splendeur...le bonheur !

[larrymerkle]

This performance is extraordinary! Hands down. I've heard so many performances of the piece over the years, many of them very good, even great. But this one, at least to me, is so wonderfully balanced and nuanced. I love the way the baroque brass instruments blend rather than overwhelm, particularly in the opening sinfonia, as so many performances do. What a pleasure to hear, and watch, this ensemble of singers and players. I know I will return to it many times in the future.

....sehr schöne Aufführung: Gratulation an alle Mitwirkenden!

[lejayarielle]

Was für eine unglaubliche Gelegenheit, wenn Sie all dieses "musikalische Ensemble" in Ihre Ohren stecken können, um religiös, friedlich, gesammelt in Ihrem eigenen Zuhause zuzuhören. Vielen Dank und einen schönen Tag +Bachstiftung

[richardstark]

Wie stark ist nicht dein Zauberton, Herr Bach!!!

[jeighlynn]

The Chorus really hits the spot for me, it is like Bach is speaking to me directly.

Heavenly Glory of J.S.Bach and the Brilliant skills of the J.S.Bach Foundation.

[stephenweiss]

Amazing that Bach was relatively underappreciated in his day. But that's often how it goes with historical figures of genius--not recognized for it in their own day.

[markne]

Exceptionally beautiful and well-paced performance, thank you.
