BWV 17 Wer Dank opfert, der preiset mich and BWV 39 Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot both emphasize themes of gratitude and charity, featuring vivid contrasts between solo arias and choral movements.

Masaaki Suzuki and the Bach Collegium Japan offer a refined and expressive interpretation that deepens the listener’s experience of these masterworks.
