Bach - Cantata Mein Herze schwimmt in Blut BWV 199 - Bernardini | Netherlands Bach Society

For the musical setting of the heartrending ’Mein Herze schwimmt in Blut’, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, Bach chose a succession of expressive recitatives and da capo arias in an Italian style. Although in his younger years Bach was seen mainly as an organ virtuoso, his ambitions were to regularly write church much in honour of God. Not until 1714 did Bach get the chance to fulfil this wish, when he was appointed as Konzertmeister in Weimar. Recorded for the project All of Bach on June 7th 2014 at the Walloon Church, Amsterdam.
