Bach's Wedding Cantata Weichet nur, betrubte Schatten
Fiona Talkington introduces a performance of Bach's 'wedding cantata' Weichet nur, betrubte Schatten, which may have been sung on his wedding day in 1721. Plus music by Zelenka.
Fiona Talkington introduces a performance of Bach's 'Wedding Cantata,' Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten and finds out whether Anna Magdalena might have sung this very cantata at her wedding to JS Bach in 1721. The cantata's central aria: 'To practise sweet courtship, to cuddle joyously,' features a solo oboe. Today's programme also includes an oboe concerto and a suite for seven instruments written a few years after Bach's cantata.
