The subject of 'tempi' is soooo subjective. The slower ones do nothing for me so this, as well as the excellent live version from The Monteverdi Choir, do me very well, thanks. :)

Liebe Bach-Stiftung - You've probably already noticed but the card at the beginning announces the wrong canata. I have been enjoying Rudolf Lutz's cantata cycle enormously, the performances are very fresh and I like how clear the small-scale forces sound (granted these aren't one-singer-per-part performances like Sigiswald Kuijken's cycle but they make an interesting comparison). Apropos the recorder solo in this particular cantata, I am a recorder player myself of many years' standing and I can attest that this is the hardest of all the obbligati Bach wrote. In addition to the technical difficulty - it doesn't fit well under the hands like, say, Telemann's recorder parts do - there's the question of key. I'd love to know how Herr Lutz solved it here - if played at the pitch that the Bach Ausgabe score is printed it is impossible to perform this on a soprano or sopranino recorder, too many incidences of high sharp notes that are impossible. DId they use an unusual-sized instrument here (or am I a worse player than I thought ...).

There is a vinyl recording of this made in the 1960s by the Heidelberg Chamber Orchestra. I have heard many versions but none compares with that old recording. It doesn't fall into the mistake of excessively fast tempi (which mars the form) as this present version (though very good) does to some extent. The too fast tempo negates the content of the words (Bach was THE master of translating words into music).

Weinen und heulen... precisely the emotions that the dramatic, chromatic beauty of this rare, breathtaking masterpiece elicits! On the other hand, though, nearly every work of the great Bach has a similar effect on me.

Thank God (and Bach) that this wonderful, uplifting music doesn't match the depressing words. :-)

Fabelhafte Idee Bachs, die Piccoloflöte so einzusetzen.

Wonderful the way she converts a recorder from being a child's toy into a really superb musical instrument

you're one lame individual, not a rationalist but an internet troll. Taking shots at religion by talking trash about the greatest composer in music history?, not going to work

You may be rational, but you obviously have no appreciation for great music, or you would disregard the superstitious words like the rest of us do and enjoy the music.

"Ihr werdet weinen und heulen". "You will weep and lament" in English. So will we, if we keep listening to Bach's junk....
