Bach: Cantata No. 11 “Lobet Gott in seinen Reichen” / Nikolaus Harnoncourt
This is one of my favorite cantatas by Bach. It is sometimes referred to as the “Ascension Oratorio”. The fourth alto aria was later adapted to “Agnus Dei” from the Mass in B minor. The eighth soprano aria is accompanied with two flauto traversos in unison and one oboe, no basso continuo. Violin and viola play the bass line. It ends festively with a chorale with trumpets and timpani. #baroque #bach #cantata #片山俊幸
