Bach - Cantata O Ewigkeit, du Donnerwort BWV 60 - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society
There was plenty to fear in the Lutheran faith of Bach’s day. Life on earth was a cesspit of afflictions – one long string of laments, complaints, worries and moans. At the end, a heavenly reward awaited you, if you were lucky. But how could you be sure you would receive it? This question instilled great fear in the congregations of Bach’s time. Believers faced the challenge of retaining hope throughout those fears. In this dialogue cantata - ’O Ewigkeit, du Donnerwort’ performed here by the Netherlands Bach Society directed by Shunske Sato - Fear and Hope literally battle it out. Both emotions are represented by a voice: Fear by an alto (a boy’s voice in Bach’s day) and Hope by a tenor.
