Description:
Johann Sebastian Bach's dialogue cantata 'Ach Gott, wie manches Herzeleid' (BWV 58) for the Sunday after New Year is among the Leipzig master's most poignant works. In a moving dialogue between the faithful Soul (soprano) and Jesus (bass), Bach unfolds deeply touching expressive power. The richly colored instrumental scoring—featuring two oboes, taille (cor anglais), solo violin, strings, and organ—gives this early version its distinctive, warm sonic character. With this practical single part for violoncello and double bass from the renowned Carus-Verlag, continuo players receive first-class, highly legible performing material. Carus's proven editorial quality ensures exceptional clarity and convenient page turns—indispensable for a stylish and vibrant performance of this Baroque masterpiece.
