Bach - Cantata Geist und Seele wird verwirret BWV 35 - Van Veldhoven | Netherlands Bach Society

Straight away, the beautiful instrumental introduction creates a sense that Bach is doing something special here. Indeed, this solo cantata for alto, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, is indeed very festive and unusually long. The text is about the healing of a deaf-mute man by Jesus, and about the joy that ensues. Recorded for the project All of Bach on September 26th 2015 at St Martin’s Church, Groningen.
