The Chorale Cantata BWV 16 "Herr Gott, dich loben wir" (Lord God, we praise you) was composed by J.S. Bach in Leipzig for the New Year's Day [Circumcision of Christ, Holy Name] of 1726. It was performed again in Leipzig in 1749 on the same event. The cantata is scored for alto, tenor & bass soloists; 4-part Chorus; and orchestra of corno da caccia, 2 oboes, oboe da caccia, 2 violins, viola, violetta & continuo.
The discography pages of BWV 16 on the BCW have been revised and updated. See:
Complete Recordings (11): http://www.bach-cantatas.com/BWV16.htm
Recordings of Individual Movements (5): http://www.bach-cantatas.com/BWV16-2.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 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 chorale cantata. If you are aware of a recording of BWV 16 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.
