Bach - Cantata Gottes Zeit..., ’Actus Tragicus’ BWV 106 - Van Veldhoven | Netherlands Bach Society

In ’Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit’, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, the combination of instruments Bach uses can be described in many ways – famous, idiosyncratic, exceptionally beautiful and meaningful. In any case, the instrumentation is an unusual one. The violins are conspicuous by their absence, but there are two recorders and two viola da gambas, which provide a soft, comforting and sometimes almost heavenly sound. Recorded for the project All of Bach on May 16th 2015 at the Oostkerk, Middelburg.
