De Matthäus Passion geldt in Nederland als de favoriete compositie in de passietijd en is verankerd in onze cultuur. The Bach Choir & Orchestra of the Netherlands is als geen ander in staat de symboliek, emotie en troost over te brengen aan u als luisteraar. 

Johann Sebastian Bach bedacht voor zijn magnus opus een unieke opstelling: twee koren en twee orkesten. De compositie vertelt het chronologische lijdensverhaal van Christus waarbij symboliek een grote rol speelt. Bach gebruikt allerlei muzikale middelen om rijke effecten te krijgen. Hij schreef voor zowel instrumenten als solisten specifieke rollen. De verteller: de evangelist, neemt u mee door het verhaal. Hij wordt afgewisseld door het koor, enerzijds intiem en dan weer overweldigend. Iedere solist heeft een eigen emotionele dimensie zoals liefde, smart, troost, beschouwend. 

De musici van the Bach Orchestra bespelen authentieke instrumenten uit Bachs tijd en het The Bach Choir wordt geroemd om haar dynamische en expressieve klank. De (inter)nationale solisten hebben een enorme toewijding wat hoorbaar en zichtbaar zal zijn tijdens de meesterlijke aria’s. Onder leiding van dirigent Pieter Jan Leusink zijn zij als geen ander in staat de symboliek, emotie en troost over te brengen aan u als luisteraar.

29 Koraal O Mensch Bewein Dein Sunde Gross

No. 3, "Jagdlied" (Hunting Song), apparently received its title from Mendelssohn, or at least from his circle. Filled with hunting horn-calls, initially in the left hand part of the first measure, the piece evokes one of the favorite images of Romantic poetry and music. In A major, its homophonic texture makes it similar to the partsong.

Sonata No. 3 in D Minor, BWV 527: I. Andante

Graham Reynolds loves to explore narrative in his work. This tendency makes him a natural fit for the film, theater and dance work that form one of the cores to his composing career. In fusing a loose concerto format with the story of Charles Babbage and his invention the difference engine, Reynolds' composing voice finds itself in a work that is intense and driving, beautiful and intimate, personally expressive and broadly accessible all at the same time. Developed over a course of years, the initial ideas for each movement were introduced and inspired separately before being woven into this one piece.

The musical onslaught of the opening movement came to Reynolds during a lecture by LB Deyo on Babbage and his work, inspired by the ferocious pace of both Babbage's thinking and the calculating speed of his invention. The fourth movement was developed in a very different form for the Rude Mechs play "The Method Gun", now touring the country. The fifth movement started as a solo piano piece, an Austin Museum of Art commission, in response to the work of Sol Lewitt. Reynolds joins other alt-classical voices in a 21st century approach that is no longer in rebellion against tonality and melody, nor desperate to prove their validity through focus on a "unique" extended technique, while folding 20th century ideas from clusters to modal harmonies to polyrhythms into a broad vocabulary.

The completed concerto "The Difference Engine" premiered on February 6th, 2010 with a 35-piece string orchestra in a Golden Hornet Project performance at Ballet Austin’s Austin Ventures Studio Theater. Soloists Leah Zeger on violin, Jonathan Dexter on cello, and the composer himself on piano fronted the debut, with parts written specifically for their skill set and personal voices. Those voices were then captured for this CD. Not fully realized in his lifetime, the difference engine was the masterwork of 19th century inventor and mathematician Charles Babbage, an attempt to create the world's first computer. A remix of each movement forms the album's second half with contributions from DJ Spooky, Octopus Project, Grammy-nominated producer Adrian Quesada of Grupo Fantasma, Golden Hornet Project's Peter Stopschinski, and finally one from the composer himself.

The Well-Tempered Clavier Book II: Prelude II in C Minor, BWV 871

Over the past years literally NOBODY sent me anything, not even a dime.  This brings me the message that you just don't care, whether I live or not.  Obviously this way I'm  unable to make a recording of the other 3 seasons (this was among my plans), furthermore I'm thinking of taking even this recording down. (as of March 1, 2025) 

The previous remark/"description" was this: 

Short version: 
Please support me with a few dollars - or just 50 cents... ! 
(There's no such amount as "too small"! Anything, really.) 
www.paypal.com/paypalme/toseethesun 

Details: 
Hey guys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, I'm really glad that so many of you like this ! Every week 4-6 people share this recording of mine, and many more people give me a "like" (without sharing).  This feels great, thank you !   

If you - on top of this - would also consider giving me (sending me) 1 dollar, or even a dime, a quarter... only a tiny little amount that you feel comfortable with... the change that you would give to a homeless person on the street... then I could continue to make a living as a musician. Nothing is "too small" !!! 

Because , you know, when I must do "something else" to pay the bills (something that I do only for the money, no vocation whatsoever), then this takes away my precious (and limited) Time, and during the hours of this type of "survival work"  I obviously cannot practice, I cannot make new recordings, cannot prepare the projects in my head or on the computer, cannot fix a cable, etc.   After work I'm tired,  for even trying to sit down with my instruments... I just take a shower, eat something, sleep... and the next day it starts over.  Which is totally normal for so many of you - we both know what hard work is!  But the day consists of only 24 hours for me as well.  Then some of you may 'suggest' "okay, then don't sleep so much  ;-) " ! As if I'd be a robot.. but I'm a human being.  You know, the nature of artistic creation is such, that it needs a tranquil and well-rested mind - and the same is true, for instance, when I drive a car, or when I fly an aircraft.  If I try to live 2-3 lives at the same time, sooner or later something (or someone) would suffer... 

Anyway, I'm asking  EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU who tends to like this recording of mine, to send me at least a ridiculously small amount.  I mean, is 1 dollar too much to ask?  No worries, then please send me 50 cents !  If  1000 people would send me three or four dollars  each month, I could spend all my time with what I REALLY want to do - for instance continuing the production of this recording, the Summer, then Autumn/Fall... And I have many (MANY !) more project ideas in my head. But my beautiful instrument often just rests at home while I have to do "something else"... 

On this particular recording that you just liked and/or shared: 
Zoltan Lengyel (myself) on church organ, with Berthold Oppitz on violin. 

And most certainly you're welcome to check the other recordings of this same page, too  ! (They were made with the same artistical standards.)
