Buy Johann Sebastian Bach: Cantatas by Bach, J.S. from Amazon's Classical Music Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.
Was over £127 a few days ago!
Perhaps not fashionable these days but I couldn't give a hoot for that - I'm sorely tempted to add this set to my shelves.
At least I mentioned that it was there, with a comment re possible old fashioned style. If there are bargains in the UK it seems a good idea to cross check with Italy at the moment.

Originally posted by MickyD View PostYes, I'd like to hear those cantata performances compared to the Harnoncourt/Leonhardt set...I presume the instrumental playing is a bit more polished?
And then there's the choir ... quite probably the worst I've ever heard on recordings. Anything above mf and the middle register of their voices and they make a quite hideous racket! Fortunately they have comparatively little to do - and there is so much else that is so enjoyable that, at the price asked, it's an excellent bargain.Last edited by ferneyhoughgeliebte; 13-07-14, 06:55.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]

Thanks ferneyhough and AmpH for those pointers. Heavens, I'm tempted by that amazing bargain from Amazon Germany, but bearing in mind I already have the Harnoncourt in a huge box (its first manifestation), I think I'd better withhold! In the meantime, some kind soul has posted a lot of the Leusink recordings on YouTube, so that's given me some idea of them.
