Bach - Dir, dir Jehova, will ich singen BWV 299 - Daniels | Netherlands Bach Society

Charles Daniels performs 'Dir, dir Jehova, will ich singen' for All of Bach. Not only did Bach harmonise existing chorale melodies. He also wrote his own new music for existing chorale texts, as here – in the form of a chorale hymn for singing voice with basso continuo. It is clearly home music, as Charles Daniels explains in his interview. So it is perfectly suited to the eighteenth-century salon in the Bartolotti House.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on May 12th 2018 at Bartolotti House, Amsterdam. This recording was made possible by the support of Stichting Elise Mathilde Fonds.
