About This Song

About "St. John Passion, BWV 245 / Part One : J.S. Bach: St. John Passion, BWV 245 / Part One: No. 7 "Von den Stricken meiner Sünden"" by Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra

Bach binds the soul with cords of counterpoint: “Von den Stricken meiner Sünden” weaves oboe and voice into a knot of longing. The Royal Concertgebouw’s strings tug at every syllable, a gentle bondage that feels like release. Unease flickers beneath the serene surface, like a lamp guttering in a crypt.
