after so many years of trying, finally a great performance... Savall achieved it, clarity, finesse and balance.

Growing up in a time and place when a Bach recording was rare ,I am SO glad to have lived long enough to be able to access such fine performances of so much and varied music...who says there are no miracles ?......

i am a demanding listener but omg this is insane, bach was not human this is the highest quality of music

Words cannot describe how much I adore Bach and this piece in particular, not only is his music a grand example of beauty and craftsmanship, it is like going on an exploration. With the rich, multi-layered, and fine-tuned counterpoint it is as if the music is a long lost cathedral and you alone are charged with exploring it to uncover its hidden treasures.

Merci Monsieur Savall, il est très rare de rencontrer une version comme celle ci... profondeur, amplitude, justesse des voix, les larmes, nous les avons, merci merci...

Baroque music is one of the best and Bach, of course, was the greatest of the era.

Gotta hand it to the genius of Bach to orchestrate this level of polyphony...so much happening in the music.

To me this is the best recording out there in youtube because of the conductor, solists and the details. You can hear almost every voice at the same time. For example at 1:13:19

00:40 I. Kyrie 18:02 II. Gloria, 48:10 2/9 Cum sancto spiritu 52:35 III. Credo, 1:20:30 3/9 Et expecto 1:22:55 IV. Sanctus, 1:37:45 Agnus Dei, 1:42:28 Dona nobis pacem

Oh my golly gosh! The women in this video are so beautiful!!! They break my heart! And the music is really good too! What a treat!

Bach i Savall . Magnific maridatge !! Moltes gràcies !!😉❤🌹

This performance has something about it that no other has. The intimacy of the venue and the really authentic sound of the instruments and freedom of the singers somehow makes you listen and almost be a part of a performance that is really special.

The best performance I've ever heard, unbelievably…

Jordi Savall es un dels músics catalans mes importants que tenim. Es un home d´una gran cultura, i es el MESTRE. M´encanta Bach.

What a masterful interpretation and performance!! I’m sure Bach is pleased!!

Never performed in full during Bach's lifetime. And now.. I'd say it's an astonishing and strange world, but it's really this music.

Es magnífica la versión dirigida por Jordi Savall. Tan excelente como la de Gardiner. Gracias 🙂!!

Bach reached his hand and touched the heavens following the movements of the clouds with divine music!!

This piece really showcases the absurd attention to the detail J. Savall is famous for. Also, Le Concert des Nations is absolutely flawlessly. That makes this interpreation, if not the best -- I personally think it is, though --, at least the most special one.

The great conductor Jordi Savall, one of the major figures in the field of early music reminded me the other giant, the late Karl Richter performing with the Munchener Bach Orchester and Bach Choir the same masterpiece of JSB in the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in June 1972 in Athens and also August Wenzinger and Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Istanbul - what a masterpiece... a miracle! Thank you.. Constantin Fotiadis

a very beautiful performance of one of the most fabulous pieces in the classical music canon. I felt like I was right there in the church hearing and feeling a live event. thanks for uploading it. anyone who hears the Gloria in this Mass and is not uplifted by it must not have a soul....

When I see Mass in B minor on youtube I head directly toward Quoniam to check how it is performed, because I think it is the most difficult aria for the bass and natural hornist . And in this performance it was done very well by the both the hornist and the bass

It's as if Bach Himself were presiding! STUNNING performance, as anything is, involving Jordi Savill. Equally Awesome is the Masterful Filming of this work of art! Peace and Good Will to All!

What an amazing location for this wonderful performance. Stunning.

Wonderful in every way. Now, imagine that these talented artists singing from memory, which is to say from sensation, listening, and imagination. What’s the difference between this music and an opera? Nothing!! I’ve sung it, and there’s nothing like singing it from memory. Period. End of story.

Sublime! Pure Divine Beauty!

De las diez composiciones más hermosas de Bach para la civilización Católica bimilenaria

This is perfection

¡ Respect and love, Don Savall !. I could not see him at the Metropolitan Teathre from Medellín. Another day will be.

On the whole just wonderful ! One of the three best versions I know.

Un capolavoro di Divinita'. GRande BACH ... bravi interpreti.

Obra maestra en cuatro tiempos, ES ARTE PLENA DE COMPOSICION MUSICAL

This is, by far, my favourite interpretation of this masterpiece! ¡Sublime!

I like this orchestra. I believe they are in Barcelona, where even street music, generally, has good acoustics. They are well synced, and pleasing to the ear.

Props to the director and crew of the program for television. They did great work capturing the performance on video and audio. Très, très bien fait à tous! (And I second every nice thing said in these comments about the performance, as well!)

Sublime.

Acabo de descubrir esta version de la misa en si menor de jordi Savall, que bien conozco. Solia escuchar otras versiones.Extraordinario, entranable. Armonia lujuriante que invade el espacio. No escapa nada. Ni nadie. Me encanta y me llena de alegria. de felicidad. Os aconsejo una grabacion de él: Las rutas de la esclavitud. Belleza de la musica y belleza de las ideas. Bravo Jordi Savall;

BACH´S MAGNIFICENT MASS IN B- WAS A FLOWER WASTING IT´S FRAGANCE ON THE DESERT AIR AS I WAS NEVER PERFERMED DURING HIS LIFETIME, WAITING FOR THE 19TH CENTURY TO REDISCOVER THIS PIECE. SOMETHING AKIN TO AN UNRQUITED LIVE.

Thanks Faces of Classical Music-2 , magnifique interprétation Mass in B minor de Bach par Jordi Savall merveilleux , Joyeux Noel

Vielen Dank

El genio de Bach es el padre de la música, sus obras sublimes llegan al alma, excelente interpretación del coro y orquesta, saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱🎶🎻🎶🎹🎶🎻💚

A spirited and uplifting performance of a sublime work !

Magnifique! This is another of my favourite B minor Mass besides those of Gardiner, Corboz, Nelson and Savall. The Benedictus, sung movingly here by Emiliano Gonzalez Toro and accompanied so sublimely by the superb flautist stands out amongst the rest (I mean from the other B minor masses) for me at least! Merci beaucoup.

Il existe de nombreuses versions de qualité de ce monument de la musique. Mais celle-ci a toujours ma préférence. Aucune autre version ne contient cette dimension spirituelle.

I keep coming back to this especially to Domine Deus at 31:00. Great tempo, great treatment by the soloists, and the nature scenes are just perfect. Whole performance is wonderful.

Magnifique, c'est sublime !

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF MUSIC, WHAT A LOVELY PERFORMANCE, WHAT A DELICIOUS MOMENT LISTENING THIS MARVELLOUS, THIS MASTERPIECE, THIS REALLY HUMAN CREATION! THAKN YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING HERE ND GIVE US SUCH A TREMENDOUS MOMENT!

absolutely wonderful thank you for this upload. So few in the chorus - the sound is so clean; agile, definitive.

Mais uma vez: O Gênio Johann Sebastian Bach !

Tremendous work. Glorious

merci c'est juste merci de vous pour ce grand amour compositeur

Emocionant de dalt a baix.

this song is incredible and epic as well

Simplemente sublime y cautivadora interpretación que nos ofreció el maestro Jordi Savall con el conjunto orquestal coro y solistas, todos muy bien equilibrados y con un carisma apropiado que exige esta obra considerada la obra cumbre y capital de la música sacra del barroco. Bravo!

The _"Qui tollis peccata mundi"_ in this version is exceptional.

I am speechless...

stupenda esecuzione bravissimi complimenti

Straordinario....... 🎼🎼🎼🎼

the tempos were chosen perfectly

Fantastic!

48:28 Coro: Cum Sancto Spiritu .. when the harmony at the highest together with double choral & double orchestra with complete variety in tones and diversity in vocals! only Bach can do it.

To me Savall is for early music what Furtwangler is for the classical and romantic Germanic repertoire: the gold standard for expressiveness and intelligent attention to detail, unfailingly compelling.

Verglichen mit J.E. Gardiner zieht Savall das Tempo im ersten Kyrie etwas an - es ist ein wirkliches "Andante" kein "Lento" - und das bekommt diesem unvergleichlichen Stück sehr gut. Überhaupt eine der allerschönsten Aufnahmen der Messe, die man im Internet finden kann.

Thank you KZfaq and your channel for providing this work of art by Bach...... the choir and orchestra were in a zone and performed superbly. And of course... thank you God and Jesus!

Hermoso!!!

fantastico

Ohne die Musik Bach‘s wäre ich ohne Trost in dieser durchgeknallten Zeit

¡ felicidades, excelentes, vigorosas y nítidas voces, buenas cuerdas y alientos, felicidades Jordi ! AMDG

Splendens 🌷🌻⚘️🌻

An amazing performance! Sanctus a little bit too fast for my taste. Excellent Quoniam!

12:12 by an illusion the conductor and the soloist appear to be in an embrace.

Overall fantastic, but the Dona Nobis Pacem is criminally fast.

Sanctus performed at the correct tempo for Bach's time and a revelation here. Lively and spirited rather than the usual dirge.Jordi Savall should pass his knowledge on to a few more conductors!

Un gozo esta Misa en B, fantástica interpretacion por coro,orquesta y solistas. Jordi Savall sublime, muchas gracias

Sublime...

Tremendous. Wish u perform at New Delhi

Qué versión más interesante, el señor Savall tiene una trayectoria intachable en música de todas las épocas, me encantó! España, un país de grandes talentos y de muchas cosas bellas y positivas. Saludos desde Costa Rica!

The _"Sanctus"_ is surprisingly fast.

Il s'agit de la meilleure version que j'ai pu écouter. Et j'en ai écouté beaucoup ! ^^

Jordi-authentic and down to earth; Karajan-martial; Munchinger-oceanic. People please do listen to Credo: in unum dominum by Ameling, Watts and Munchinger (1971) 1:20:42 on the YT post - sublime.

❤️

Nadie ha superado aún la interpretación de Gustav Leonhardt

Gloria 18:05 Cum sancto 48:27 Ed incarnatus 1:01:06 Sanctus 1:22:57

Need to know far in advance of such events... so to book a 6 months stay before the concert and 6 months after it....

0:45

43:52 - 48:28 -- who is the virtuoso natural hornist? :)

Maravilloso. El contratenor!!!

1:37:50 that moment

I thought Gardiner could not be matched in this. I was wrong.

j aime cette version pour son dynamisme mais les choeurs sont absorbés par l orchestre brillant il manque des choristes pour étoffer cette oeuvre mais c est très sonore et musical

I guess nobody noticed 300 milliseconds audio delay here?

28:33❤.

But .... Where is the Benedictus ?? And how do I work it now ? :D

Cercavo il dona nobis pacem e forse era meglio se non aprivo questo video. A parte la qualità sonora della registrazione, un tempo così veloce (forse a 120) non fa apprezzare nulla di un andante che qui andante non è. Non si apprezza la costruzione di una armonia che parte dai bassi ed arriva ai soprani con una costruzione magnifica. Ha il tempo di una fuga. Torno da Rilling e da Richter.

On se demande ce que reprochent les 5 "dislikers". Pourtant tout est là dès les premières mesures. L'acoustique un poil trop réverbérante de l'abbaye, peut-être?

Free at last.

To the video editor and people in charge of including the landscape clips (example 32:20): very nice! It helps illustrating Bach's message (/ religion's message). I also try to illustrate Bach's music on my channel, using movie clips.

Sanctus waaaaaaay too fast

Super Like. Not the ultimate rendition but... How I wish I could be there in front line!!!...
