Liverpool Bach Collective: Choral Evensong and Cantata 146 Wir mussen durch viel Trubsal

A performance of Bach's Cantata 146 Wir mussen durch viel Trubsal (We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God) as part of choral evensong. The gospel of the day, reflected in the cantata, is a reminder of the ten commandments and man's difficulty in achieving heaven. The ensemble includes flute, oboes and strings with a prominent part for the organ in the opening sinfonia.
