Conducting sucks. As most new conductors suck. Listen to Wilhelm Furtwangler, Charles O'Connell or Leopold Stokowski. Our generation of conductors aren't conductors at all. Conducting used to be something difficult. Anyone can conduct like Helmuth, but not like Wilhelm.
Lol, this could not further from how I see Helmut Rilling. I think, he's the master of tempo and baroque interpretation. Stokowski and Furtwängler had ultimately a "romantic" understanding of baroque music.
How fortunate we are to enjoy Helmuth Rilling's authentic interpretation of Bach's music.
WOW BACH AT HIS BEST THESE TRUMPETS!!!!
Beautiful! Clean, transparent and lively!
Arleen Auger is so intense and absolutely brilliant! I cannot stop listening again and again the aria!
Stunningly beautiful! In particular the initial, multilayered choir together with the glorious trumpet.
Thanks for posting!
Very nice!!
