I thank Erhard Egidi for insight in the structure of the St John Passion (center: "Durch dein Gefängnis, Gottes Sohn, ist uns die Freiheit kommen), St. Matthew Passion and Mass in B minor (center: "Crucifixus"), and for sharing the love of their music. I will not forget how he silently put the symbol of the peace movement (that many in the audience wore) next to the score before conducting the Mass in B minor. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:12, 25 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
