Good Friday The cruel Death of Jesus Christ
The opening choir of the St Matthew Passion by J.S.Bach. Conducted by the Dutch Ton Koopman - Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and Soloists.
J.S.Bach (Eisenach, 21 maart 1685 - Leipzig, 28 juli 1750) knew how to express his feelings of sorrow and shock towards the cruel execution of this young, gentle, man, who preached love and respect for people and whose hands healed and blessed those around him.
Today I am going to listen to this music like I do every year on Good Friday.

On Good Friday we're driving 7 hours to go to our 2 daughters, but I'm taking the Mattheus Passion with me to listen to in the car (CD)!
Have a blessed Easter, Wil!
For you Good Friday must be a painful day of remembrance and identifying. May it be a moving and holy day.
Thank you for the music.
I have 2 tracks of it recorded on my computer (from a 1959 performance on a CD borrowed from my nun friends). I listen to them often.
But hearing Bach in a cathedral must be quite an experience.
Shalom Wil.
What a moving post today and so appropriate. . . wanted to wish you Easter blessings!
Music is food for the soul. Such abeautfiul piece for easter.
Happy Easter.
Beautiful music! May your Easter bring joy beyond the sorrow.
You've high-lighted one of my favorite Bach compositions. What a meaningful way to observe Good Friday.
Wat prachtig is de Mathaus toch hè. Ik ben vroeger meerdere malen naar uitvoeringen geweest en tegenwoordig zie ik het meestal op TV.
Fijne Paasdagen
Fitting music for the day. May your weekend be blessed, Wil.
Ben er zeker van dat je gisteren van de muziek genoten hebt.
Fijn paaswekend
