Ton Koopman explains Bach’s extremely beautiful Cantata, Actus Tragicus (Gottes Zeit Ist Die Allerbeste Zeit). I always feel humbled when hearing this cantata, which really can soothe those who are mourning and bereaved, as is currently the case today. Koopman, as one of the pre-eminent interpreters of Bach’s music, brings a great depth in his explanation.
Bach’s inexplicably beautiful cantata, Gottes Zeit Ist Die Allerbeste Zeit or Actus Tragicus. Everything from the movements to the orchestration is perfect. Sir John Eliot Gardiner has justifiably recommended this cantata for anyone suffering a bereavement. Bach knew mourning time and time again in his life, and his treatment of death through music is a tragic yet profound reminder of how he channeled that grief into sublime music.
One of Bach’s most beautiful and comforting Cantata’s, Actus Tragicus, or the title I prefer: Gottes Zeit Ist Die Allerbeste Zeit.
