BCW: Cantata BWV 198 - Revised & updated Discography

October 10, 2021:

Cantata BWV 198 Laß, Fürstin, laß noch einen Strahl [Trauerode] (Let, Princess, let one more ray) was composed by J.S. Bach in Leipzig as Funeral Ode on the Decease of the Consort of Augustus the Strong - Christiane Eberhardine, Queen of Poland and Electoral Princess of Saxony and was performed on October 17, 1727. The cantata is scored for soprano, alto, tenor & bass soloists; 4-part Chorus; and unusual instrumentation of 2 transverse flutes, 2 oboes d'amore, 2 sections of violins, violas, 2 violas da gamba, 2 lutes (used for the first time by Bach in a cantata), continuo (both clavichord and organ).

The discography of Cantata BWV 198 on the BCW has been revised and updated. See:
Complete Recordings (39): https://www.bach-cantatas.com/BWV198.htm
Recordings of Individual Movements (18): https://www.bach-cantatas.com/BWV198-2.htm
The revised discography includes new recordings, much more details and 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 believe this is the most comprehensive discography of this cantata. If you are aware of a recording of BWV 198 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 6 discussion pages of the cantata in the BML, starting at: https://www.bach-cantatas.com/BWV198-D.htm

Enjoy,
