Bach - Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier BWV 730 - Wiersinga | Netherlands Bach Society

The hymn 'Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier' BWV 730, performed by Erwin Wiersinga for All of Bach, consists of just two short phrases, and the second half of each phrase is identical as well. Yet the melody has so many possibilities that Bach made it into several short organ preludes. Simplicity can sometimes be deceptive.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on August 24th 2015 at Stiftskirche St. Georg, Goslar-Grauhof. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating http://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
