A wet day after days of sunshine, so I'm only just catching up with the Whitsuntide Cantatas.
I've got as far as yesterday and BWV 68, and am enjoying the wonderful second movement, a duet between the treble and viole de gambe, beautifully sung by a virtuosic boy on the Teldec version. Magic.
... it's violoncello piccolo. The soloist is Peter Jelosits in his last recording as a treble for Harnoncourt.
I went to listen to its original source in The Hunt Cantata today, and found that it's the only cantata I haven't got. Duly ordered.
