Bach - Cantata Ich geh und suche mit Verlangen BWV 49 - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society

The cantata ’Ich geh und suche mit Verlangen’, performed here by the Netherlands Bach Society directed by Shunske Sato, is one of several dialogue cantatas written by Bach. As in the case of the other dialogues, the lyrics Bach used were already suited to the form beforehand. Bach underlines the form musically: a characteristic element in nearly all his dialogue cantatas is the choice of soprano and bass as the only soloists. The underlying idea is always the same. The soul (soprano) and Christ (bass) converse together and eventually declare their love for one another. Recorded for the project All of Bach on August 26th 2021 at the Walloon Church, Amsterdam.
