As a piano an' vocal student I know that Bach was a serious composer from playin' his Tocatta in D minor, inventions, part of his suites, and, attempting to sing his "Crown Him King of Kings" when I trained as a tenor, but listenin' to this has me blown away.
Of course He is a Legend!!! Karl Richter is The Bach Handel interpreter of all times!!! All his music specifically Choral with his orchestra is the best of the best!!!
@Sylvain894 I think Bach was a giant and I believe many regard him as such. Maybe you aren't familiar with the enormous scope of his compositions. When I was a child taking piano lessons, I began to study his keyboard works. The more I learned over the years, the more I was amazed by their beauty and almost mathematical complexity. Your last sentence seems to indicate you aren't aware that Bach was German also. Germany can certainly claim credit for many musical giants.
karl's bach is of d Teutonic heavyweight, traditional school but great as it was it's a little stodgy when put alomgside more 'modern' and liberating prfms.from gardiner, rilling,harnoncourt et al.
As in if you can do ancient Greek you must have gone to a British public school. If you didn't go to public school you must be a choral musician who was told the wrong translation (it's have mercy not show.)
@caribugoingcrazy He makes odd facial expressions much like any other virtuoso does when they are executing the absolute limits of their talents. I don't see any humor in it, only a man completely overcome by the beauty of his labor, but to each his own...

listen to this heavenly music and love all the momnets of your life
Thank you! Whatever can be said about the tempi in these videos, I would give everything to sing with a conductor like this. Clear, steady. A master.

@GeorgeV6v24 What school do you go
As in if you can do ancient Greek you must have gone to a British public school. If you didn't go to public school you must be a choral musician who was told the wrong translation (it's have mercy not show.)
