Bach - Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier BWV 731 - Wiersinga | Netherlands Bach Society

The chorale on which Bach based 'Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier' BWV 731, performed here by Erwin Wiersinga for All of Bach, was written for Whitsuntide. It is a prayer of resignation and desire. Does this piece sound familiar, but not on the organ? That’s very possible. This early chorale arrangement is on the Bach Album by The Swingle Singers, who had a smash hit in 1963 with their LP of jazzed up instrumental music by Bach, sung a capella ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_3rBUXAph8 ).

Recorded for the project All of Bach on August 26th 2015 at Stiftskirche St. Georg, Goslar-Grauhof. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating http://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
