巴赫：B小調彌撒曲

懵懵懂懂的時候，光盤還沒影子，聽說巴赫的B小調彌撒是傑作，路在磁帶上，也沒認真聽，沒啥印象。

人老了，意識到巴赫的內涵，越加欣賞。幾年前一天激發，買了好幾盤B小調彌撒曲的影像光盤，“大快朵頤”。

The Mass in B minor is widely regarded as one of the supreme achievements of classical music. Alberto Basso summarizes the work as follows:

The Mass in B minor is the consecration of a whole life: started in 1733 for "diplomatic" reasons, it was finished in the very last years of Bach's life, when he had already gone blind. This monumental work is a synthesis of every stylistic and technical contribution the Cantor of Leipzig made to music. But it is also the most astounding spiritual encounter between the worlds of Catholic glorification and the Lutheran cult of the cross.

巴赫在音樂的地位，如牛頓在、微積分在數學的地位，集大成。貝多芬小時學的最拿手的即使巴赫的平均律鍵盤曲集（The Well-Tempered Clavier），能倒背如流，老師說你這一招就能打出名聲。

貝多芬暮年之際，重新回到巴赫那兒，如大名鼎鼎的“大賦格曲”（Grand Fuge）。

巴赫一生是虔誠的基督教徒，不過我聆聽、領會巴赫，純粹音樂。
