Description
In the soprano aria ‘Wie zittern und wanken der Sünder Gedanken’ from cantata BWV 105 – recorded here for All of Bach with Jos van Veldhoven and Maria Keohane – the strings play an important role, as Bach leaves out the basso continuo. In his day, the continuo was the foundation of the musical system. If it is left out, there is always something unusual going on, as the music then has no firm ground underfoot – completely in line with the text of the aria.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on 10 February 2018 at Walloon Church, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel https://bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating https://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
