Bach - Cantata Selig ist der Mann BWV 57 - Bonizzoni | Netherlands Bach Society
In 'Selig ist der Mann', performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, there are two 'speakers': Anima - the human soul - and Jesus. Here, as is often the case, the soul longs for death and to be united with the Creator. The soul is then put to the test.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on January 17th 2015 at the Walloon Church, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/2vhCeFB or consider donating http://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
