Before I uploaded my arrangements of St Matthew's Passion having played them according to baroque playing rules. The primary comment to the recordings was that they missed the expressive intensity of choral/orchestral performances. I decided to redo the set of chorales and aria's playing the vocal lines as though they are sung, accents determined by accents in the syllables of the language and inserting breathing pauses (actually by singing myself while playing). I think this has improved performance. BUT comments are most welcome!
