About This Song
About "Stölzel: Bist du bei mir (Prev. Attrib. Bach as BWV 508)" by Kiri Te Kanawa
Kiri Te Kanawa sings 'Bist du bei mir' with a tenderness that feels like a hand on a fevered brow. The Stölzel aria—once misattributed to Bach—is a quiet vow, its calm surface rippling with the unspoken fear of parting. Devotion as a shelter from the storm.
