Bach: Cantata No. 56 “Ich will den Kreuzstab gerne tragen” / Gustav Leonhardt
This is practically a solo cantata for bass. The bass solo is Michael Schopper. The third aria, “Endlich, endlich wird mein Joch” is a masterpiece in which the obbligato oboe and bass intertwine like an instrumental trio sonata. In the final chorale Leonhardt features the “Knabenchor Hannover (Hannover Boys’ Choir)”. #baroque #bach #cantata #片山俊幸
