Bach-Stokowski ’Come, Sweet Death’ (’Komm, susser Tod’) - Stokowski conducts

J. S. Bach’s “Komm, susser Tod“ is taken from Schemelli’s Musical Song-Book of 1736. Stokowski’s transcription has the melody played twice, first on the strings and then by the full orchestra. He made this recording in 1958 with his own specially selected symphony orchestra of New York musicians.
