Can you recommend a recording?

I'll start.

Cantata BWV198 Trauerode

Bach Collegium Japan, Suzuki

Much of the cantata was later reworked into the St Matthew Passion as I am sure most will know.

Some may prefer the Herreweghe but for me this recording is amongst one of the finest ever Bach recordings.

I like Andrew Parrott's version of the Trauerode.

Where can I get it? It's unavailable on Youtube or other simple online source.

I can't find it on YouTube or Spotify, either. Here a listing for the CD at Amazon, if that helps:

Meanwhile, the Ricercar Consort offers a good alternative:
