Lovely Fergus, thanks for that, I must listen to Herreweghe’s version of BWV 36, 61 & 62; BWV 62, 'Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland' (Now come, Savior of the heathens) is probably my favourite Bach cantata.fergus wrote:Today is the fourth Sunday before Christmas and therefore the First Sunday of Advent. This heralds the beginning of the Liturgical year and for me personally the beginning of another listening cycle of the relevant JS Bach Cantata for each occasion. I am giving the venerable Gardiner the day off today and am listening to Herreweghe’s version of BWV 36, 61 and 62 being the relevant works for the day that is in it....
I have two students in the house writing assignments and preparing for exams so I have to keep it quiet, I can only listen to music in my listening room rather than throughout the house, so Tim was way down low this morning.Diapason wrote:I really love the Advent chorale tunes, and Nun Komm... is very well represented in lots of famous settings. Fantastic stuff.
Tim Thurston started a new Cantata cycle himself on Gloria with Wachet Auf, but I didn't catch the performers. Marvellous music in any case, and I was thinking of you, Fergus.
