My Faithful Heart

The lovely soprano aria from Bach’s Cantata 68 is a gem. Bach must have thought so, as well, since the aria represents one he recycled from his earlier, secular, Hunting Cantata.

Somehow, the text of this aria, Mein gläubiges Herze (My faithful heart) feels appropriate for Valentine’s Day. Enjoy this recording featuring boy soprano, Peter Jelosits under Nikolaus Harnoncourt.

My Year of Bach.

This is an experiment.
I love Bach: listening to Bach; playing Bach (alone or with others); discovering Bach; learning from Bach; sharing Bach.

I need Bach in my daily life.

So, for 2016, I'm challenging myself to write a short daily post about Bach. Come along for the ride, if you're so inclined. Let's listen, share and learn together!
