Cantata BWV 189 "Meine Seele rühmt und preist" My soul praises and extols) was composed by Georg Melchior Hoffmann in Leipzig for the Feast of Visitation of Mary or for the 12th Sunday after Trinity. The work was included in the first edition of Bach Works (BGA) in 1891 and continued to be attributed to J.S. Bach until the late 1950's. The charming cantata is scored for tenor soloist; recorder/flute, oboe, violin, & continuo.
The discography pages of BWV 189 on the BCW have been revised and updated. See:
Complete Recordings (31): http://www.bach-cantatas.com/BWV189.htm

The revised discography includes many listening/watching options to recordings directly from the discography pages, just below the recording details.
I also put at the BCW Home Page:http://www.bach-cantatas.com/
2 audios & 2 videos of the cantata. A short description below the audio/video image is linked to the full details at the discography pages.
