Johann Sebastian Bach wrote cantata BWV 61, "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland" (Now come, the gentiles’ Savior) for the first Advent Sunday. It anticipates the spiritual event of Christmas - the birth of Jesus. With a magnificent French ouverture, J. S. Bach rolls out the carpet for the little child.
So how does Bach's music express the excitement for Christ's arrival and capture His presence? Xoán Elías Castiñeira and Rudolf Lutz explore the cantata and help us understand its magic.
"Bach Factory" is a video series by the J.S. Bach-Stiftung St. Gallen that gives you interesting insights into Bach's cantatas - including exclusive excerpts from their live performance.

¡Saludos desde Madrid! Gracias siempre a Xoan Castiñeira y a Rudolf Lutz por su sabiduría y generosidad. Mi mujer y yo tenemos el recuerdo imborrable de un concierto maravilloso de cantatas el 8 de junio de este año que ya acaba, 2023, en la Nikolaikirche de Leipzig. Confiamos en que pueda haber más ocasiones en vivo, pero mientras no dejamos de escucharles gracias a estas "benditas" herramientas tecnológicas que Vds. manejan con todo acierto.
