I believe this is the recording made by the Thomanerchor and the Gewandhaus orchestra under Hans Joachim Rotzsch in the early 1990s. This wonderful cantor of the choir was removed over the objections of the Thomaner themselves because he happened to have been put in place during the last communist regime in East Germany.
@frereM Ant it demonstrates the hippocresy of german and others searching for a "Sündenbock". Mr. Rotzsch did not do any harm to anyone. But people are so selfrigtheous (and stupid) it is unbelievable
yes - thats an all boys choir - so the sopranos are 9-14 (and the men all younger than 19) and they are native german speakers ^^ i'm also german native and their german is totally fine!
by the way - johann sebastian bach himself was the director of this choir for about 30 years and wrote all his cantatas, masses and passion for THIS choir. the choir was founded in 1212 and is one of the oldest world-wide.
What beautiful sound of orchestra and choir. Thanks Hans-Joachim Rotzsch and Thomanerchor.

the german is also sub-par.. good accompaniment though!
