J.S. Bach: Süßer Trost, mein Jesus kömmt, BWV 151 - The Church Cantatas, Vol. 177

Cantata 151 ‘Süsser Trost, mein Jesus kommt’ for 27 December is a happy, optimistic and radiant piece in the unproblematic key of G major. The relatively modest scoring includes four soloists, choir, oboe d’amore, traverso and basso continuo; Bach may even have intended the simple final chorale to be sung by the four soloists alone, so as not to burden his choir after the hectic Christmas services. Bach wrote splendid solos for the chosen instruments, including the reassuring opening soprano aria ‘Süsser trost’, with wonderful garlands interwoven by the traverso, and the beautiful oboe d’amore part in the aria No.3.
