Hi list,

Easter time is Bach passion time for me - especially since the flu 
prevents my family from going skiing :(

So, I just spent the last hours adding a new recording of the St. 
Matthew Passion.

This has 101 tracks played in about 161 minutes, and 25 tracks are less 
than half a minute, 13 last for less than 15 seconds. Because of this, 
it's imperative that the most important parts of the movement title 
sticks out properly from the track titles.

So, I thought, how can this best be done?

I ended following the booklet, and the tags provided by the label (it's 
a download). In the process I radically downplayed the common stuff that 
we pad the titles with (work names and part indication), and ended up with:

(reference: http://www.linnrecords.com/recording-matthew-passion.aspx)

Now I don't want to start another quarrel, and I didn't really want to 
start another discussion on keeping out the WorkName from titles just 
yet, but I had time to add this now, so....

thoughts?
