Cantata BWV 29 "Wir danken dir, Gott, wir danken dir" (We thank you, God, we thank you) was composed by J.S. Bach in Leipzig for the Inauguration of the Leipzig Town Council of 1731. The cantata was performed in Leipzig two more times on the same event of 1739 and 1749. The cantata is scored for soprano, alto, tenor & bass soloists; 4-part Chorus; and orchestra of 3 trumpets, timpani, 2 oboes, 2 violins, viola, organ obbligato & continuo.
The discography pages of BWV 29 on the BCW have been revised and updated. See:

The revised discography includes many listening/watching options as part of the recording details. When you click a link to video/audio, a new window will open above the discography page and the video/audio will start to play.
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.
I believe this is the most comprehensive discography of this cantata. If you are aware of a recording of BWV 29 missing from these pages, or want to correct/add details of a recording already presented on the BCW, please inform me.
You can also read on the BCW the recent discussion of the cantata in the BCML (4th round): http://www.bach-cantatas.com/BWV29-D4.htm
