Bach - Jauchzet, frohlocket! from Christmas Oratorio BWV 248 - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society
In this first cantata of the Christmas Oratorio – recorded here for All of Bach under direction of Shunske Sato – Bach attains a perfect balance between the jubilant celebration of the birth of Jesus and the serious, sad undertone that points to his fate on the cross. From the orchestral firework show of the opening chorus, via the sensual aria ‘Bereite dich Sion’, to the simple prayer of the final choral, surrounded by the royal sound of the timpani and trumpets.
