"What's so striking with this piece, is how positive it is. The music sounds so positive." Bassist Robert Franenberg talks about the cantata 'Die Elenden sollen essen', which he performed with the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach. The opening section resembles a French ouverture; music that was used to announce the entrance of a king. Maybe Bach was writing his own tongue-in-cheek ceremonious entrance. Violone player Robert Franenberg can well imagine this to be the case.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on April 23rd 2016 at the Walloon Church, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel [ Ссылка ] or consider donating [ Ссылка ].
