Perhaps the greatest work of art in any medium by anyone ever - you could certainly argue its case. This recording was apparently for French tv, and the uploader has edited a few pieces together including the audio obtained separately to avoid things like a voiceover, and thus possibly the somewhat irritating opening of the video with the odd slow-motion stuff. I’ve chosen this version though, having just seen it, partly at least for the especially beautiful vocal performance, though the strings could maybe sound a bit richer. Not that I’d have a clue.
Here with a much slower tempo, accompanied by stills from films by Andrei Tarkovsky, who used Bach quite a bit in several of his films.
