About "Komm, süsser Tod, BWV 478 (Arr. for Choir by Knut Nystedt)" by Accentus
Knut Nystedt's choral arrangement of Bach's 'Komm, süsser Tod' turns a deathbed plea into a cluster of overlapping sighs. Accentus draws out the dissonance until it glows, each voice a candle flickering in a draft. The result is not grim but strangely luminous—a sweet dissolution.
