Well, whether or not you appreciate it it is correct. Bach would have
used all male soloists. Summat about voices breaking later at that time -
and women not being involved in church services. But it grows on you. In
fact a lot of things seem at first wrong (speed of laudamus for example)
but you get used to it and tend to find most else a bit unconvincing.
Certainly knocks the socks off the dull as dishwater Muchinger rendition.
