About This Song

About "St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244 / Part Two : J.S. Bach: St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244 / Part Two: "Erbarme dich"" by Anne Sofie Von Otter

‘Erbarme dich’ is the heart of Bach’s Passion, a plea for mercy that hangs in the air like incense. Von Otter’s voice is both vulnerable and resolute, and the violin’s weeping line entwines with hers in a dance of grief and hope.
