Bach - Cantata Ich habe genung BWV 82 - Mortensen | Netherlands Bach Society

The way that mortality was viewed in the eighteenth century is expressed wonderfully in &habe genung&performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach. Death was seen as a deliverance from the earthly vale of tears, and as a chance to unite with your creator. So rather than being heart-rending, the music exudes a subdued melancholy.
