The young Mary has just received the Annunciation and decided to travel to her cousin Elisabeth to share her inner joy. The genius of Bach gives voice to the young Virgin Mary and transforms the Annunciation, one of the most poetical and powerful events of the New Testament, into an emotional and glorious music.
