Total Playing Time: 30 minutes Comments: Ko Unoki said: Although Bernstein's approach to the music can certainly not be called "authentic", his interpretation nevertheless lets loose the full drama of the music and the emphasis on the bass section melody especially in the "Omnes Generationes"shows his understanding of the essence of Bach.
