Membra Jesu Nostri, BuxWV 75, Cantata V: Ad Pectus (To the Breast)

The latest recording by The Parsons Affayre, directed by Warren Trevelyan-Jones is “Membra Jesu nostri ”. We are joined by a wonderful ensemble of period instruments lead by Alice Evans and including The Emerald City Viols, performing in concert this stunning Cantata cycle of seven pieces, each representing the seven wounds Christ received whist on the Cross. Composed by Dietrich Buxtehude (1637 – 1707), J.S. Bach’s much admired mentor. Recorded live during our annual Lenten Concert in February 2013 at St James’ Church King Street.
