About This Song

About "10 Chorale Preludes, BV B 27: No. 5, Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ, BWV 639" by Igor Levit

Bach's 'Ich ruf zu dir' becomes a whispered prayer in Levit's hands. The chorale's pleading motif hovers over a still, dark accompaniment, creating a tension between desperate faith and serene acceptance.
