J S Bach - Mit Fried und Freud ("In peace and joy" )

Bach, J S:

Cantata BWV8 'Liebster Gott, wann werd ich sterben?'

Cantata BWV125 'Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin'

Cantata BWV138 'Warum betrübst du dich, mein Herz'

Deborah York, Ingeborg Danz, Mark Padmore & Peter Kooy

Collegium Vocale, Philippe Herreweghe

The theme of death and dying was one of the favourite themes of Bach and his contemporaries in their cantatas – that “musical theology” which was held in such high esteem in deeply Lutheran Northern Germany. Composed between 1723 and 1725, the three cantatas on this record treat the subject from different angles: the expectation of a “marvellous dawn” (BWV 8), the final departure in peace and joy (BWV 125), and the vanity of earthly existence (BWV 138).
