O ewiges Feuer

With trust and anticipation as the key words, Bach stuck a decidedly festive note in these two Pentecost cantatas and his much-loved Ascension Oratorio, BWV11. No better way to close a Bach Academy dedicated to the relationship between man and God. Especially when its execution is so heavenly!
