BWV 3 is a favorite, because of a wonderful soprano/alto duet. I've recently listened to the Rilling recording, which benefits from having Arlene Auger. Rilling's ensemble is not PI, but does uses ensemble sizes which are historically appropriate.

Excellent. I will get three that I do not have with that disc. Also under a different baton than I have.
Well, this is a big question. ;D
Strikingly I don't see any version of the superb cantata BWV 21.
And Herreweghe is an excellent solution:

Love his Matthew Passion and it will let me net a 42 as well! Thanks!
I see no BWV 199 and no soprano singing BWV 82.
Both lacunae can be remedied with this prescription:
[asin]B0000AOVTI[/asin]
Which you would probably want to have no matter how many recordings of the solo cantatas you already have.
ETA: the soloists in Rilling's cycle for these cantatas sound promising, btw: Fischer Dieskau for 82 and Auger for 199. But I have to yet listen to them, so I can make no promises about them!

Is the 16th Sunday after Trinity just another way of saying the 16th week after Pentecost?

Added to list for future purchases. Many thanks. I have, on numerous occasions considered just getting the Harnoncourt/ Leohardt run and being done with this portion of my collection. However, after the likes of Coin, Rifkin and Norrington, I decided to cherry pick instead. When I get close to a complete cycle this way, then I might choose to also sweep up a set under one conductor.
Karl, which conductor(s) takes on your newly acquired set for the cantatas?

I would have no problem with the Teldec cycle if it were not for the boy sopranos and countertenors in solo parts, which are a deal-breaker for me.

I have heard others say that, while others enjoy that feature. I like the sound, but not sure if I want my entire run sounding that way. However, as I am seeing, my map will cost a pretty penny.

It's frustrating that there are so many interrupted cycles and that some of the complete ones are so expensive. The Rilling cycle can be gotten for about $60, if you find his approach satisfactory. I like the singing, although I would have preferred a PI ensemble. I have both the Teldec and Hanssler Bach editions (in addition to many individual recordings) so I have more Bach than I know what to do with.
Bwv 19 has an astonishing fugue. BWV 50 is an amazing one movement thing, a fragment, for eight voices. Another one I love which you don't have is 131.
One cd I like to play a lot is Vol 2 of Suzuki's set, and Vol 11 because of a wonderful Bwv 95.

Not really. you may like to try Eric Milnes and Montreal Baroque in 19, I don't know. I think these things gain a lot from one voice a part and boys. But you may think they lose more than the gain, as it were.
You could also try Fritz Lehman, at the other extreme.
I consider BWV 61 & 62 as critical acquisitions, too. Gardiner, Suzuki & Herreweghe are - any of them - a perfectly satisfactory acquisition, although Gardiner & Suzuki are slightly more to my taste. You can listen to these cantatas on YouTube.

Two of the best are the radiant BWV 1 and the lovely 161. I like Suzuki or Gardiner in BWV 1, but like Herreweghe best in 161.
I hate to say it, but generally if I can find an alternative to the Harnoncourt/Leonhardt set I will - the playing is not up to the best modern standards any more, and the treble singing can be anything but reliable. Suzuki, Koopman and Gardiner all are better alternatives, and if there is a Herreweghe performance then pick that up.
BWV 11, 22 and 23 would be three others I would add in - but then there are so many that are great...

Aus tiefer Not (BWV 38) is very fine... especially on this disc, which doubles up on two you already have, but in interpretations worthy having another version of!
Aus tiefer Not (BWV 38) (http://ionarts.blogspot.com/2005/03/weinen-klagenherreweghes-new-bach.html)
The Lieberson-disc is a must-have... that recommendation is seconded most enthusiastically.
BWV 13 ist very strong -- especially on this recording:

BWV 21 is another glaring omission...
QuoteIch hatte viel Bekümmernis, is one of the great Bach cantatas—literally at the very least, because it is his longest...

I see you have BWV 54 -- good! Still, this might be of interest to read: http://ionarts.blogspot.com/2008/12/bach-cantatas-on-record-james-bowman.html (http://ionarts.blogspot.com/2008/12/bach-cantatas-on-record-james-bowman.html), ditto this: http://ionarts.blogspot.com/2007/09/dip-your-ears-83.html (http://ionarts.blogspot.com/2007/09/dip-your-ears-83.html), which is mainly about BWV 82.
Continued appreciation.

Hoy, Bill!Variously, Harnoncourt & Leonhardt for the sacred cantatas. The secular cantatas shared among more conductors, still, including . . . oh Lord, I now own an André Rieu recording . . . .

you didn't already with one of your Haydn Trumpet Concertos (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000DSFW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00000DSFW&linkCode=as2&tag=goodmusicguide-20)? 8)
If it's any relief: Neither of them are
the André Rieu... which is André Rieu fils... but André Rieu père.
I could about weep tears of joy : )
Bogey, you need some Richter in there. He recorded many of the cantatas over the decades, but generally you just need the older ones from 1959 through the 60s.
Here's his Actus Tragicus from 1966. No other recording does it for me.

Did a search for this one, Kevin. Will have to look a bit more or buy a used 3 cd set, which would also work. Thanks!
Another glaring omission in your collection is the glorious Trauer-Ode (BWV 198), a funeral cantata as the Actus Tragicus.
And this disc (with a very beautiful program) would be a fantastic solution, IMO:

If you like HIP Karl you are in for a real treat. I bought the Harnoncourt/Leonhardt sacred cantatas quite a few years ago and have enjoyed it tremendously. Such raw and earnest performances. I believe I must have gone through all those 60 CDs a few times over the past years. This is the set I own:

Splendid, Marvin! And in that case, the Bach-on-a-flash would be to a substantial degree redundant for you.

Whoa! That's nearly four bucks in shipping charges!!
Purchased the Rilling set recently and am working through it. It's my first complete set though I have the 26-disc Richter and the 20-disc Werner on Warner. Quite enjoying it.
