I agree that at that time the sound of the baroque strings specially of Leonhart was not at the top.
But articulation and expression were beautifull and quite new at that time.
The tempo is slower than others .But this interpretation reflects the text.The orchestra is the obsessional sin which the singer has to resist.

Splendid! I have this piece on my CD in Daniel Taylor's interpretation. Two great artists who found absolutely different colours for this aria! A feast for the ears, though perhaps a bit more I prefer Taylor's version with his less vibrato, but this is great too! Thanks for posting.

@metphmet How can you tell if the strings are playing a fugue?
-
I see you love Guercinon not only Bach =)

I will add that the fugue of the strings is made on an ondulating musical phrase.
I think it represnts the snake of the evil.
This phrase will repeted like a perpetual movement.....the evil is ever.The singer has to sing with accent on wiederSTEHE (resist).Leonhart and Eswood were the first to do that.

Tumbs up to the informed and insightful comments posted here. Despite the irritating flaws of the accompaniment, this Bach / Esswood continues to captivate my heart with its beauty. Nicely produced video, too.

I'm touched at heart by that picture where Gabriel and Michael are with the lying Jesus.
