I like the intimate nature of this cantata, where the "chorus" of soloists also take on their own roles beyond singing together. Many commentators believe this to have been intended for a wedding celebration.

A passionate amateur, John provides a lovely mix of history, theory, personal views on favourite recordings and outstanding excerpts from featured compositions. His personal touch brings Bach’s works closer to the listener than a professional presenter ever could. It’s a labour of love, and you can feel it.
