In the famous soprano aria, Bach begins with a lovely melody by the solo cello, to which a soprano adds another. This is ruined here by having the organ play an invented melody that anticipates the soprano line, thus making one basic melody/bass texture where Bach has two alternating ones - we can barely hear the initial melody Bach wrote. Though this practice is normal it is WRONG.

Good gracious - you are right! What an horrible idea, to try to "improve" Bach! What has ridden Karl Richter?! Unbelievable!

[@Twentythousandlps]

@@gabiheintz4001 But quite common when Bach puts a melody in a bass-clef instrument - many have done this.

En strålende lille koncert under en ligeså strålende ledelse af Karl Richter......

[@ignacioponce1485]

Karl Richter habra sido divino? Y J.S. Bach? Quizás lo fueron.
