Episode 1549
Our chronological Bach cantata cycle continues, having begun with BWV 1. Each day, we hear a cantata followed by shorter instrumental and vocal works by J. S. Bach. Today’s programme begins with cantata “Jesu, der du meine Seele” BWV 78. Bach composed this cantata for the Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity in 1724. This performance is by the Magdalena Consort, under the direction of Peter Harvey.
