Yes, I needed this punishment, I deserved this punishment- a punishment through the lovely music of my favourite composer. In fact, a punishment which makes me cry all the time , whenever I listen to this exquisite music and the wonderful rendition.I don't know how to express my gratitude for this magnificent recital! Gracias.
"kann uns Deutschen niemand nehmen....." Bach sah sich selbst als Christ und Thüringer. So etwas wie "deutsches Nationalbewusstsein" gab es damals noch nicht.
