Bach's Wedding Cantata Weichet nur, betrubte Schatten

Fiona Talkington introduces a performance of Bach's 'Wedding Cantata,' Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten and finds out whether Anna Magdalena might have sung this very cantata at her wedding to JS Bach in 1721. The cantata's central aria: 'To practise sweet courtship, to cuddle joyously,' features a solo oboe. Today's programme also includes an oboe concerto and a suite for seven instruments written a few years after Bach's cantata.Telemann Oboe Concerto in D minor, TWV 51:d1Bach Cantata: Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten, BWV 202Zelenka Overture a 7 in F, ZWV 188Carolyn Sampson (soprano) Katharina Arfken (oboe) Freiburg Baroque Orchestra Gottfried von der Goltz (conductor).
