The Solo Cantata BWV 151 "Süßer Trost, mein Jesus kömmt" (Sweet consolation, my Jesus comes) was composed by J.S. Bach in Leipzig for the 3rd Day of Christmas [St John's Day] of 1725. It was performed again in 1728-1731, also in Leipzig. The cantata is scored for soprano, alto, tenor & bass soloists; 4-part Chorus; and orchestra of transverse flute, oboe d'amore, 2 violins, viola & continuo.
The discography pages of BWV 151 on the BCW have been revised and updated. See:
Complete Recordings (22): http://www.bach-cantatas.com/BWV151.htm
Recordings of Individual Movements (27): http://www.bach-cantatas.com/BWV151-2.htm
The revised discography includes many listening/watching options to recordings directly from the discography pages, just below the recording details.
I also put at the BCW Home Page: http://www.bach-cantatas.com/
2 audios & 2 videos of the cantata. A short description below the audio/video image is linked to the full details at the discography pages.
I believe this are the most comprehensive discography of this solo cantata. If you are aware of a recording of BWV 151 missing from these pages, or want to correct/add details of a recording already presented on the BCW, please do not hesitate to inform me.
