It's a tear-jerker, for me: the most beautiful. All the more so for being performed by a counter-tenor. I've heard a woman singing it but the counter-tenor male voice just works. He's the master, this guy. I'd never heard of him, only the music. Usually, with the most famous note, it is held for a very long time, Scholl cuts off the note sharply, which is unusual but really shows the feeling in the piece.

Here are three in a similar vein. I first heard the Bach piece on Radio 3's Late Junction over twenty years ago. The Icelandic conductor scores maximum points for enthusiasm.
