Bach - Christ, unser Herr, zum Jordan kam BWV 685 - Van Doeselaar | Netherlands Bach Society

Leo van Doeselaar performs 'Christ, unser Herr, zum Jordan kam'. The Clavier-Übung, a large-scale arrangement of the most important hymns in the ecclesiastical year, would of course not be complete without baptism. For this subject, Bach naturally turned to the hymn Christ, unser Herr, zum Jordan kam, in which Luther refers to the Passion of Jesus, as well as to his baptism, in a comparison between the healing blood and the clear baptismal water.
