J. S. Bach: Nun Komm der Heiden Heiland BWV 659 (G minor)
From the Eighteen Leipzig chorales written near the end of Bach's
life. A quiet yet voluptuous setting of Martin Luther's Advent
Chorale, "Saviour of the Gentiles, Come." This version expresses a
palpable yearning for a long awaited redemption. For many years I made
it a practice of playing this piece on the First Sunday of Advent.
Virtual performance created by James Pressler using Baumhoer organ in
Bielefeld-Stieghorst, Germany (2006) - http://www.pipeloops.com
