You never get sick of Bach, do you?
As I recall (maybe wrongly) that second movement is a fugue, but if so I have failed to grasp how it works, which is not surprising as fugues are kinda difficult.
In my car I have a version of the B minor Mass with a really politically incorrect version by Otto Klemperer (brother of Werner who played Colonel Klink in Hogan's Heroes, and a sufferer of bipolar illness) so big, so slow and massively articulated. Et Expecto is really moving and the Sanctus makes my hair stand on end, like being taken onto another planet. Et expecto (And I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come, and you think of all the people and all the terror of death forever, and you think O you poor bastards).
