Annotation

Recorded in London, September 1989
First release:
Label: Deutsche Grammophon - ASIN: B0000057DQ
Rerelease:
Label: Deutsche Grammophon - Cat. #: 4635812 - EAN: 028946358122 - ASIN: B00004R9F8

Does anyone know if the catalogue number "BWV 118/231" is correct? It appears on the cover and liner notes of the second release, but the ASIN of the first release does not have it, and the cover says "BWV 118b". http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Mus/BWV225-231-Mus.htm contains an mp3 of BWV231 (as well as much other information on BWV231 and BWV 118), but it is certainly not the same.
