I remember reading, about 35 years ago, advice to the effect that after one has listened to Bach's secular music, one should explore the cantatas and other sacred music to find even greater beauty. The duet illustrates that point fully - it transports the soul. Hoomeyow!!

[@petermerelis]

the dissonances are absolutely amazing

[@franklippert4278]

Unusual harmonic progressions, even for Bach.

[@madelinerogers8129]

Perfect message perfectly expressed in our time of plague and suffering

[@kostasampatzis9296]

Congratulations for the best performance of this difficult cantata!

[@douglasdickerson5184]

Wonderful music!

[@nawfalsalman3074]

This is an exceptional cantata.

[@keithjones5700]

Koopman’s interpretation gets to the depths of this rather depressing work which emerges as a very intense listening experience.

[@flippert0]

Harmonically very complex, fits the rather lyrics very well.

[@PaZaTz55]

Sublime. Ty EM.

[@fernandobe3112]

El conjunto de las cantatas es posiblemente lo mejor de la inmensa obra de Bach.

When the world bends around, when the structures of a civilization falter, it is good to return to that which in history does not flex, but on the contrary recovers courage, gathers the separated, pacifies without bruising. It’s worth recalling that the genius of creation is also moving in an history devoted to the destruction

[@zarathustra8789]

Philippe Cirse Very elegantly put.

[@kostasampatzis9296]

Destruction is allways followed by creation. The left turning schwastica is always followed by the right turning.
