Walter, I had the very same thought for the very same reasons.  In fact,
surfing the web for *any* signs of Koopman's Bach, I found only volume
5 (the secular cantatas) at Berkshire (although I also found the St.
Matthew and St. John Passions).  Looking at arkivmusic.com, I found
only volumes 12 and 13 at roughly $100 for the set.  Too expensive for
me.
