The opening chorus sounds like a train speeding in increasing velocity, well there were no trains back then, but it strikingly sounds like it. Of course, it is beautiful and impressive.
That's what happens when you listen to the music as it was abstract and completely unrelated to the words being sung.
The music is depicting what happens if God does not stand by us, as described in the 1st stanza of the hymn sung in the opening chorus:
"If the Lord God does not stay with us
when our enemies rage
and if he does not support our cause
in heaven high above,
if he is not Israel's protection
and does not himself break the enemy 's cunning
then all is lost with us."
What sounds to you like speeding trains is "our enemies' rage."
Klaus Mertens is fabulous!
Damn! Mertens knocked my socks off, but Annette Markert and Christoph Prégardien are equally good! What a cast!
Ausgezeichnet!
Sublime🧡
Wat een (veel te) hoog tempo; zoveel haast had Bach vast niet.
kies instellingen->snelheid->0.75 veel luisterplezier!
Der Satz 2 ist aber wiederum zu langsam...
È vero! È quasi tutto troppo veloce! Gli strumenti corrono senza lasciare la possibilità di seguire la partitura
Fortunately, your opinion doesn't matter.
@@igormarchetti4371 Obviously, that's no true.
MA COSE'... HA UNA GRAN FURIA...VUOL FINIRE PRESTO IL MAESTRO...
