Reasons to be Cheerful #2: ‘Johann Sebastian Bach’

I wake up at 6.50 every day, and Monday to Friday while I’m brushing my teeth and shaving, Radio 3 play  some ‘Bach before 7.’  To be honest after the weather I tend to switch over to that new-fangled pop on 6 Music,  but I start the day with a bit of truth; Bach goes somewhere deeper than emotion, into the blood stream of things.

You could listen to anything by him (except maybe that church organ stuff) but how about this dark and broody end to St. Johns Passion? – reminds me a bit of Black Sabbath. https://youtu.be/O9bOaHvKUZE
