Album Notes & Community Reviews

This recording pairs two of Bach's defining sacred works: the 'Magnificat', BWV 243, his Latin setting for chorus and orchestra, and Cantata BWV 21, 'Ich hatte viel Bek眉mmernis', among the most expansive of his Weimar cantatas. Together they trace an arc from the cantata's journey out of affliction toward consolation to the Magnificat's festive, trumpet-crowned praise.
