Adrian Butterfield, conductor
Bach composed cantatas every week in 1723 from his arrival in Leipzig at the end of May and Cantata 75, Die Elenden sollen essen, is one of his larger-scale examples. And at Christmas that year he composed his wonderful setting of the Magnificat which has become so deservedly popular.
