Bach - Cantata Es ist dir gesagt, Mensch, was gut ist BWV 45 - Rademann | Netherlands Bach Society

The words of the opening chorus of this cantata – recorded here for All of Bach with Hans-Christoph Rademann - are imbued with Old Testament strictness. God has decreed what he demands of you: keeping to his word, being humble and practising love. To Bach’s music, this enumeration takes on a cheerful and light-hearted character.
