Reviews

‘Not only has Herrick found a simply ravishing Swiss organ which he uses with impeccable good taste, but the Hyperion team have come up with a top-notch recording. Once again they've given us a disc which combines consummate musical insight and technical mastery with sheer unalloyed listening pleasure’ (Gramophone)

‘Herrick has once again shown that his command of the Bach idiom is as total as any other contemporary organist's … an impressive addition to a milestone collection’ (Classic CD)

‘An indispensable collection and one I should not be happy to be without’ (Organists' Review)

‘Bach at his most tuneful and diverting and Herrick's style is particularly suited to them’ (Soundscapes, Australia)
This and the following prelude form a pair in their sombre writing, contrasting with the running figures of the first two. Both are vocal duets in their cantata versions.

The cantata in which this chorale appeared (No 93) was first sung on the fifth Sunday after Trinity, 1724. It sets the fourth verse, which proclaims that he who trusts in God ‘knows the right season for joy’. It has two imitative obbligato parts, and the chorale melody is in the alto.

Dieses Präludium bildet zusammen mit dem folgenden von seinem düsteren Ton her ein Paar, das im Kontrast zu den beiden vorherigen kontinuierlichen Figuren steht. Beide sind in ihrer Kantatenversion Gesangsduette.

Die Kantate, in der dieser Choral erschien (Nr. 93), wurde erstmals 1724, am fünften Sonntag nach Trinitatis, gesungen. Sie bildet den vierten Vers, der verkündet, daß der, der an Gott glaubt ‘die rechte Zeit der Freude’ kennt. Sie enthält zwei nachbildende Obligato-Stimmen, und die Choralmelodie wird von der Altstimme gesungen.
