Of the appropriate cantata for the second Sunday in Advent, BWV 70a, only fragments survive. JSB incorporated the original version into a bigger scale work, BWV 70.

Soler – Sonatas for Harpsichord....
There is some really very good music on this CD. The playing and the recording are both very good and the harpsichord does sound very well balanced.

Re: What are you listening to?
I've had that set for a while now Simon. I havent delved into it to the same extent as I have with the Foccroulle set yet so its too early to judge it. Initial impression was that the sound is a bit brighter in the Koopman setDiapason wrote:I didn't know you bought a Koopman set (or did I? Hmmm!) How are you finding it? Was it sensibly priced?

Re: What are you listening to?
The other recording I have of Buxtehude's 'Membra Jesu Nostri' is one by the The Netherlands Bach Society which I believe Ciaran has in his collection too. I bought the above when I spotted Emma Kirkby listed as one of the soloists and Purcell Quartet have a good rep. The performance here is very moving, beautiful and very spiritual. It has revived my interest in this work and with a quick search online I see that Rene Jacobs and JE Gardiner have also recorded this work which are probably worth checking out.
