This is one of the last arias for soprano and solo violin (and orchestra) from the Markus Passion. The piece is a parody (borrowed) from the 6th Violin Continuo Sonata by Bach, as an alternate 3rd movement. In that setting it is scored for violin and obligato harpsichord.
This performance is from our concert in 2016, live and unedited in The Hague.

Wonderful. Who would have guessed it wasn't written for voice in the first place?
Could only listen by downloading, by the way. Do you know if people often have problems getting DSound - and in this case the IPFS (VLC and Windows Media Player) - to work?
UPDATE: 10 minutes later, DSound working fine now so maybe a glitch. Pretty sure I've had a problem before though so would still be interested to know whether you've had any other feedback like that.
Yes, I'm finding the dlive and dtube and dsound to be not very reliable. So I'll post again I think with more detail with a soundcloud embed instead.
DSound still working fine for me after the initial problem.
Bach often borrowed from his own work. Now that I read it again, I'm not 100 percent sure which came first. Something I have to look at again before putting up the longer written version.
