Cantata BWV 82, 'Ich habe genug'

Johann Sebastian Bach

BWV 82

Hans Hotter / Anthony Bernard / Philharmonia Orchestra

1950 Mono recording.

Top choice. A very famous classic. Hotter's deep bass voice provides a comforting and consoling warmth that perfectly suits the piece's message, despite the mono sound.

Lorraine Hunt Lieberson / Craig Smith / Orchestra of Emanuel Music

2002

A great alternative in modern, clear sound. Lieberson is very expressive, musical, and impassioned, singing with a beautiful, deep tone.

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau / Karl Richter / Munich Bach Orchestra

1968

A beautiful version from a famous singer. Fischer-Dieskau is nicely controlled, dramatically expressive, and sings with his beautiful, secure tone.

John Shirley-Quirk / Neville Marriner / Academy of St. Martin in the Fields

1965

A great version known for its warmth and beautiful Decca vintage sound. It's a calming, controlled, and natural interpretation with a full, flowing tone from Shirley-Quirk.
