"You could say that contrasts are almost the essence of Bach’s music and he has a genius for bringing light to darkness, but also for bringing shadows to those moments where you feel you can almost reach Paradise. This is especially true of his cantata No. 199, ‘Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut‘. It’s full of sorrow, even tortured, but it also has a disarming restraint that is typical of Bach. It is a cantata of repentance, asking forgiveness for our sins, and I wanted to bring out its operatic power: the first accompanied recitative in the cantata goes beyond many expectations of sacred music." - Sabine Devieilhe
