I don’t know how to search for things very well(although I am trying to learn) so I need help, if anyone can give it, in finding a site that sells Bach recordings. In particular, I am looking for Cantata #207. If you can point the way I would be grateful!!!

Be careful you get what you want, because there are two related cantatas, 207 and 207a. For more information about them, see
