The Bach Choir is a mic gender choir so the higher pitches are sung by the females. And the reason the German may have sounded a but mangled at times, even to my Deutsche ohren, is because its mainly not the Chorists native language being based in London as they are.
How funny, it didn't sound like German to my ears either. Except for the chorus, ich verstehe nichts. 🤔 You won't be surprised to know I enjoyed the appearance of the deeper male voices. 😁 Though I admit the female crystalline voices may convey the "angelical" spirit better. 😇😉 Like you said, it's varied and diverse in terms of voices, and that's great.

That´s the way how it´s primarily sung over here. The pronunciation is almost perfect to my ears.

It is the original German language version from beginning to end, actually.
