{"product_id":"4589538832339","title":"Bach, Johann Sebastian (1685-1750) - Cantatas Vol.54 : Rudolf Lutz \/ J.S.Bach Stiftung Orchestra \u0026 Choir - Import CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eCantata Collection No. 54 by the Bach Foundation Orchestra \u0026amp; Choir. As usual, Rudolf Lutz conducted Cantata No. 101, but for Cantata No. 76, with Lutz unable to conduct due to illness, concertmaster Renate Steinmann and contralto Lea Scherer—who also conducts the choir—jointly took the podium. Cantata No. 76 was premiered shortly after Bach took up his post in Leipzig; it is a grand, two-part work that conveys his enthusiasm for his new position. Through magnificent choruses and intimate, conversational arias, it sings of praise for God and nature and offers insights into the human condition, guiding the listener into the realm of faith. No. 101 is a work based on a chorale composed during the time of the plague. The lyrics express a prayer for deliverance from illness and suffering, and through its solemn choruses and arias brimming with deep sorrow, the work depicts the anxieties of this world and faith in God. According to the liner notes in the original album booklet (in German and English), this work is said to reflect the emotions of Bach, who had experienced the loss of family members on numerous occasions.
