This is absolutely stunning. I don't want to get into a myopic discussion about which is the superior and most authentic interpretation (i.e. contralto or CT soloist). I think it best to focus on the elegant luminosity of the music and the clear virtuosity of these performers who approach this composition with necessary reverence for Bach's genius. They clearly understand that when you decided to step into Bach's musical world, you do not take such a privilege lightly.
