Beatific visions of a heavenly alternative to life on earth found voice among the great metaphysical poets of 17th-century England. Bach revealed his personal imagining of Paradise in one of his earliest cantatas, Gottes Zeit is die allerbeste Zeit, scored for the exquisite sonority of violas da gamba and recorders. Another early cantata, composed for Easter, Christ lag in Todesbanden, further demonstrates Bach's confidence in celestial immortality. And yet another written for Palm Sunday presents a ravishingly beautiful entrance into the heavenly city. This is a program of breathtaking, gorgeous music.
