@Notheus made me laugh!

Whether it was Harnoncourt's interpretation or the tenor's interpretation (I suspect the latter), there is no reason to take it this slow and to kill the flow of the movement by overdramatising the 'hilf, Jesu hilf'

voce bene pero tenpo poco rubart .mare di tenpo .

Stimmt! Das Gebet ist enorm wichtig! Ohne Jesu Hilfe und der Kraft des Hl. Geistes ist es unmöglich Jesus richtig zu bekennen. Der Sänger ist recht gut zu verstehen. Super die Koloratur!

Uhh, why are you talking about Rap?

I enjoy this as pure singing as much as any version, but i think you are right when it comes to the subject matter. I think the whole thing is intended to be more urgent, a crying out "Hilf Jesu Hilf !". i agree with the more frantic tone that many versions adopt, from an interpretative standpoint.
Way too slow??? Thats not Rap ;) I think it's perfect!! No one is better then Nikolaus Harnoncourt believe me he knows what he does.

Note the break in the phrasing in the OBBLIGATO cello part when it INTRODUCES the melodic phase to which the tenor later sings "Hilft, Jesu, hilft!".
The tenor COPIES the phrasing introduced by the cellist. In polyphonic music, the follower (the tenor) SHOULD COPY the leader's (the cello's) phrasing.
I'm not saying I like that phrasing, but at least I understand why he sings it that way.
