Today, I was reading in one of my devotions about how tens of thousands of Japanese are coming to Christ through the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. This is primarily thanks to organist and conductor Masaaki Suzuki. When he performs the "St. Matthew Passion", the concerts are sold out, and afterwards the stage is crowded with people asking about the messages in Bach's music. The messages are thoroughly biblical, so much as that Bach's work was once called "the fifth Gospel."
I have added this piece to my playlist - enjoy, I was unable to find this exact artist, but I still believe that it is a beautiful work of art.
