"Pure delight."
Hugh Canning

"By turns fervent and meditative, joyous and melancholy, they are here performed superbly by the Collegium Vocale Ghent...A collector's item."

The Observer

After his move to Leipzig in 1723, the years 1724 and 1725 were especially creative ones for the new Kantor of St Thomas's. Bach had decided to write a complete cycle of chorale cantatas, thus producing a body of work that went far beyond the expectations of his employers. The target he had set himself now offered an unparalleled laboratory for musical experimentation. These three cantatas for the Sundays after Trinity, which begin the liturgical year, date from this period.
