Bach - Bist du bei mir BWV 508 - Daniels | Netherlands Bach Society

Details

Description

Charles Daniels performes 'Bist du bei mir?', for All of Bach. If Bach wrote one singalong tune, it was surely this song, right? Unfortunately not. Although Bach did have a hand in it, the song itself is by Gottfried Stölzel. The theme was a wonderful choice to open his gift music book to Anna Magdalena: a simple song of gratitude, trust, faith in God and faith in his second wife.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on May 12th 2018 at the Bartolotti House, Amsterdam. This recording was made possible by the support of Stichting Elise Mathilde Fonds.
