The second part of this diptych devoted to Bach’s cantatas combines a work composed for Mühlhausen, where the first cantatas written by Bach in 1707-1708 appeared : the sumptuous funeral cantata actus tragicus (BWV 106), a true masterpiece, and those for Leipzig (BWV 8, 27 and 95) composed between 1723 and 1726.

John Eliot Gardiner, a great specialist in the cantor, embarked on an incredible Bach pilgrimage throughout Europe in 2000 : his masterful, humane and passionate interpretation was a landmark and continues to move audiences with its exceptional vision.
