5th movement?

Latest comment: 7 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

The recording by Bach Collegium Japan directed by Masaaki Suzuki (J.S. Bach: Cantatas, Vol. 20 (BWV 44, 59, 173, 184)) has a 5th movement. It's entitled Chorale. Gott Heil'ger Geist.... See e.g. here: http://www.allmusic.com/album/bach-cantatas-vol-20-bwv-44-59-173-184-mw0001830549. Why is that movement not listed in this article? Johncolton (talk) 18:22, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Without looking: people have thought some closing chorale is missing, so complete with a fitting one from somewhere else, as completions hae been attempted for Mozart's Requiem, for example. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:17, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

With looking: Suzuki explains his choice of chorale here. These liner notes are linked from the Bach-Cantatas source. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:25, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
