There's a four-year-old annotated discography here:

I like the 1972 Waverly Consort recording in the Bach Guild
Historical Anthology series from Vanguard, originally issued on vinyl
(as you can probably tell from the date) and reissued on CD in 1993.
See:

The attractive thing about the Waverly production is that although
the songs are performed in the original languages, the recording
includes narrative English versions of the stories inserted between
the musical selections. I doubt it's the most authentic or scholarly
performance, but I suspect it's the most accessible to non-experts.
