I think the Harnoncourt is still the best recording of the oratorio version, but the Accentus is also very good.

It is a wonderful performance, I really like the Amadeus Quartet's recording too.

Bach Cantata BWV106 (Actus Tragicus)....

The Actus Tragicus, for use at funerals, has at its opening, one of Bach’s simplest and most beautiful melodies.

Marginally. But I do think this is the Bruckner symphony I will eternally struggle with. I used to think the same way about LvB's 6th but now I love it. So, there is hope....
