Bach’s Cantata BWV 40, Dazu ist erschienen der Sohn Gottes (For this the Son of God appeared), was composed in Leipzig and first performed there on December 26, 1723. For the festive occasion, Bach scored the work for three vocal soloists (alto, tenor and bass), four-part choir, two horns, two oboes, two violins, viola and basso continuo.
Enjoy this lively rendering of the opening movement featuring Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra.
