Top Comments of this video!! :3
Dear Rick, I usually don't comment but I wanted to thank you for your video. I actually am a violin student from Leipzig and just yesterday in the evening I have played the St Matthew Passion by Bach in the St Thomas Church. It was great and during the concert I thought to myself how amazing it is to play music by a composer who lived many centuries ago and that the music still sounds beautiful today. I have played all of Bach's Motets and a few Cantatas in that church and also I play pieces from his Partita for solo violin when I'm not playing in an orchestra. Everytime I just wonder how he managed to compose such beautiful works of art and especially in that quantity. Your video made me appreciate the music more and summed up my thoughts about his music. Thank you, Rick :)

I laughed when Rick talked about getting the Brandenburg Concerto no. 3 album from the library when he was a 6th grader. That's exactly how I discovered Bach. I was a 12-year-old kid in the summer of '72 searching the album section of the local library, looking for rock albums, when I came across a recording of the Brandenburg Concerto no. 3 and decided to see what this Bach guy was all about. It's still my favorite classical work ever.

When I was studying music at college, we were lucky to have the local cathedral’s organist attending lessons with us. One day, as a class activity, we went with him to the cathedral and stood next to the organ’s keyboard while he played Toccata and Fugue in D minor. I was in tears all through it, literally sobbing. This was early in the morning, and I remember going back home unable to watch any more lessons and just sitting on my balcony for hours enjoying the memory of the music. It was such a powerful moment which I will never forget. Bach’s music is the pinnacle of human achievement.

I was watching this video without headphones and at 6:30 my father walked by and stopped. He looked at me and remained silent, smiling. Then he asked me: is that Bach?
I nodded. He said: beautiful.

I suppose another comment won't add much to the thousands already here. But I'll add my anyway. :-) Some music hits you in heart - its wonderful. Some music hits you in the brain - its enlightening. Bach unites the two, that rare space where the heart and head find common ground. And its done that for countless people for generations. We all owe so much to Felix Mendelssohn for bringing Bach's music back from near oblivion.

Hey, Rick. I’m a member of the Bach Choir of Bethlehem (PA) and we have the wonderful honor of singing Bach’s music all year long, every year! We’ll be traveling to Germany this summer and performing at St. Thomas Church, which will be the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for me! I’ve been a subscriber for years and love your videos! Bach’s music is simply without equal!

im really lucky to be in a cathedral choir. every year we perfom bach's matthew and st. john passions alternating, alongside a historical orchestra. every year this is truly my highlight of the year. i love bachs music, it moves me like nothing else when performing. rennaissance and romantic are really fullfilling aswell, but nothing quite beats the genius of bach imo
