Bach: Cantata No. 22 “Jesus nahm zu sich die Zwölfe” / Gustav Leronhardt

This cantata begins with the tenor arioso “Jesus nahm zu sich die Zwölfe” accompanied by a beautiful melodic solo by the oboe, which leads to the bass aria “Sehet, wir gehn hinauf gen Jerusalem” and the uninterrupted chorus “Sie aber vernahmen der keines und wussten nicht, was das gesaget war”. The following alto aria “Mein Jesu, ziehe mich nach dir” is sung with the beautiful oboe obbligato. Following the recitative accompagniato of bass, the tenor aria “Mein alles in allem, mein ewiges Gut” is a bright piece played with the obbligato from the string orchestra. The final chorale is one of the most fascinating arrangements of the cantata, with a four-part chorale overlaid with counter-melody of an “moto perpetuo” played by the oboe and violins. #baroque #bach #cantata #片山俊幸
