Written to exalt the glory of God and to facilitate Lutheran worship, Johann Sebastian Bach’s sacred cantatas stand among the highest achievements of Western musical art. This acclaimed recording sees the works performed in their entirety by a stellar line-up of musicians that includes the renowned Holland Boys’ Choir and period-instrument ensemble Netherlands Bach Collegium. Bach wrote about 300 sacred cantatas, of which 200 have survived. They have been widely recorded over the years, but Pieter van Leusink’s account remains one of the most acclaimed to date; created over a 15-month period and first released to mark the 250th anniversary of the composer’s death, this complete survey brims with spiritual expression.
