Bach: Christ Lag in Todesbanden Cantatas Bwv 4, 106, 131

For their first CD exploring the world of Bach, Sébastien Daucé and his Ensemble Correspondances give new life to the young composer's first sacred cantatas - BWV 4, 106 and 131 - written in Mühlhausen. Combining the Lutheran tradition with a faint breeze from Italy, these works already reveal the dramatic invention and formal rigour of a fully functioning creative mind.
