Bach Cantata: Sie werden aus Saba alle kommen | Philippe Herreweghe, Collegium Musicale Gent

Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cantata 'Sie werden aus Saba alle kommen‘ (They will all come forth out of Sheba), BWV 65 is also known as the 'Gold Cantata'. And there’s a good reason for that, because gold plays a major role in this cantata for Epiphany. Philippe Herreweghe and his Collegium Musicale Gent performed the cantata on 11 June 2023 at the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig as part of the Bachfest Leipzig (00:00) Chorus: Sie werden aus Saba alle kommen (03:41) Chorale: Die Kön’ge aus Saba kamen dar (04:28) Recitative (Bass): Was dort Jesaias vorhergesehn (06:16) Aria (Bass, Oboen da caccia): Gold aus Ophir ist zu schlecht (08:29) Recitative (Tenor): Verschmähe nicht, du, meiner Seele Licht (09:53) Aria (Tenor, alle Instrumente): Nimm mich dir zu eigen hin (13:28) Chorale: Ei nun, mein Gott, so fall ich dir Aisling Kenny | SOPRANO Alex Potter | ALTUS Benedict Hymas | TENOR Peter Kooij | BASS COLLEGIUM VOCALE GENT Annelies Brants, Anna-Sophi
