Thanks to Steve S for directing me to his excellent review of vol 1 & 2 of Ton Koopman's Bach series! I read with particular interest the description of Cantata 21 Ich habe viel bekummernis. (Harmonia Mundi HMC 901328). Right now I'm bowled over by Herreweghe's version with Collegium Vocale, Barbara Schlick, Gerard Lesne and Peter Harvey, all excellent Steve describes the recitative "Wie hast du mich mein Gott..." and the following aria" Bache von gesalznen Zahren..." as sung by a soprano. On Herreweghe's version this is sung by Howard Crook and is one of many high points on this CD (Another one is Gerard Lesne 's 10 minute-aria on BWV 42, it makes my spine shiver!) My question is: Is there more than one version of BWV 21? Patrik
