“Magnificat in D, BWV 243: 3. Quia Respexit Humilitatem; 4. Omnes Generationes” by Johann Sebastian Bach [1733] performed by Maria Stader with Karl Richter and the Munich Bach Orchestra & Choir [1979]

Lest you forget that music could be so sublime… here is the soprano aria and exhilarating chorus that follows it from Bach’s Magnificat. This older recording was paired with the same musicians performing Bach’s other most famous choral work, Cantata #140 “Wachet Auf.” The album has been re-released multiple times since the 1979 original, although it appears to be out of print at present.
