@Oscarg936 It’s strange when people try to argue with the author himself about his own inspiration. Bach who worshiped God wrote this beautiful piece of music, you who deny Him did not. The question is why you don’t write something about the beauty of a monkey becoming a human?
@ClassicalMusic2010 This is a blessing of Bach, brought to us by Bach
God is Life, Life is in us -> Bach wrote – Life wrote – God wrote.
THIS IS NOT GOD. This is arguably the most beautiful piece of music ever written, written by the musical genius Johann Sebastian Bach, who deserves full credit and praise for this work. I’ve got no problem with people worshipping god, just don’t credit his for writing this.
Gorgeous.
Beautiful! I’m learning to play this on piano right now, and by golly it is the hardest thing I’ve ever done! To make it sound as good as this… it’s just outstanding! Fantastic!
Perfectly played with the GREAT rythm !
For Christmas this year, I am listening to this.
one of the few pieces of art that brings me to tears, and perhaps the only that brings me to tears every single time.
it’s absolutely fantastic
Good performance!
Beautifully played, the marvellous nature of BACH’s Music is reflected…….
I got introduced to this song by the End of Evangelion; the most incomprehensable movie ever.
@seladnas2007 It’s the arrangement by Dame Myra Hess. I agree, though, a sublime rendition.
beautiful
Just great performance
It is magnificent. You made yourself the transcription or, is it the one of Liszt or Busoni? Do you prefer Steinway or Baldwin or Bechstein maybe.
Good luck in your career.
Beautiful.Thank you very much.God bless you.
This is a blessing from God, brought to us through Bach.
Very Good !
Tres , Tres Beau j’adore bravo
Absolutely amazing. I hear pieces like this and I can hardly wait until I am at this level of ability. So inspiring, so peaceful and relaxing too. Truly a dream to play I bet
Lovely.
I think Dame Myra would have been quite pleased with your performance.
Very nice;)
