The Dutch and Belgians seem to have a knack for Bach Cantatas, with Koopman and Herreweghe mounting all kinds of impressive productions on period instruments available on Youtube. One conductor I haven't had on my radar, but who has a series of videos posted now, is Jos van Veldhoven (who looks like a cross of my dad and Sigmund Freud), which is odd given that he's apparently been the leader of the netherlands Bach Society since forever.. The soloists are many of the usual suspects such as Dorothee Mields, who has done a ton of stuff with Herreweghe, and Damien Guillion.
I'm liking the pairing of Mields and that counter Tenor.
