This is a great performance. Leonhardt shapes it trippingly, and the always-superb Equiluz is joined by a fine bass and the very musical Jacobs who instead of hooting (as he often does) sounds piping and rather delightful.
This is how to interpret Bach: every note was sang with full fervor and conviction. Soloists, choir, instruments are at their best possible which is why Harnoncourt/Leonhardt remain the unattainable golden standard in bach cantatas.

The most BACH and great Leonhardt !!
