This version is: Zion hört die Wächter singen, Das Herz tut ihr vor Freuden springen, Sie wachet und steht eilend auf. Ihr Freund kommt vom Himmel prächtig, Von Gnaden stark, von Wahrheit mächtig, Ihr Licht wird hell, ihr Stern geht auf. Nun komm, du werte Kron, Herr Jesu, Gottes Sohn! Hosianna! Wir folgen all Zum Freudensaal Und halten mit das Abendmahl. But who can tell me another version's lyrics(Wolfgang Gonnenwein, Consortium musicum)? Thanks.

Good god is that beautiful.

Schon!

[Slagert63]

By far the best performance I know. Even better than Harnoncourt.

way to fast thought!

I thought the tempo a bit quick at first, too, but the more I listen the better I like it--fresh and crisp, dancelike. I also like the rich sound of plural tenors and violins. If JS had 7 tenors like these he'd have loved it! While I'm on the soapbox, may I request that all English-speaking music critics drop 2 w ords from their lexicons--"authentic" (reserved for old paintings,antiques and wills) and "valid" (passports and drivers' licenses only). Thanks.

I enjoyed it, but i agree it was a bit too fast :) but its an awsome piece, i always enjoy it

I must say it was too fast. Theres some pretty crazy chords that u dont really get to hear at this tempo. The articulation was meh. A bit too much on the stacatto side. Vocals were good though

[Marzziooo]

Absolutely lovely performance.

[hbcser]

too much staccato

Actually, Bach cantatas were likely sung one to a part. Check out the "Essential Bach Choir", there are hard facts leading to this conclusion.
