  • Description

    Even after the completion of the Bach Cantata series which was released between 2004 and 2014, and in which La Petite Bande recorded cantatas for every Sunday of the liturgical year, Sigiswald Kuijken still does not let go of his great passion for JS Bach.

    He turns once again to the cantatas and presents on his new recording three works that Bach wrote for the end of January and the beginning of February and which were performed in Leipzig at St Thomas' Church between 1725 and 1729.

    Two of these cantatas BWV 72 "Alles nur nach Gottes Willen" (1726) and BWV 156 "Ich stehe mit einem Fuss im Grabe"
    (1729) were composed for the third Sunday after Epiphany, and the other one BWV 92 "Ich hab in Gottes Herz und Sinn"
    (1725) for the Sunday Septuagesima i.e. for two weeks later.

    Kuijken remains true to his performing decision for the cantata series. All instrumental and vocal parts are occupied only by soloist, which results in a very transparent sound and which makes the structure and layers of Bach's sometimes highly complex works, always easily audible.
