Johann Sebastian Bach: Cantata BWV 13 "Meine Seufzer, meine Tränen" part
of aria B "Ächzen und erbärmlich Weinen" Aber wer gen Himmel siehet Und
sich da um Trost bemühet, Dem kann leicht ein Freudenlicht In der
Trauerbrust erscheinen. yet he who looks towards heaven and concerns
himself there for comfort, for him a light of joy can easily illuminate
the sorrowful breast. translation by Pamela Dellal
Edwin Fisher was the first pianist to record the complete Fugues and
Preludes of Bach. Listen to his superb articulation of the D Major
Prelude and his magisterial performance of the G Minor Prelude. Also
notice his judicious use of the pedal.
