This is the penultimate volume in the acclaimed cycle recorded by Masaaski Suzuki and his Bach Collegium Japan. Two of the works included in this volume were both composed around 1735, and give rich evidence of Bach's versatility in terms of style. The contrast is striking between the decidedly fashionable bass aria BWV100/4, with it's syncopated melody and gossamer string writing, and the highly intricate counterpoint that Bach lays out in Weñr Gott nicht mit uns, the opening chorus of BWV14.
