The opening chorus, Ihr werdet weinen und heulen, from J. S. Bach's Cantata 103, performed by Collegium Vocale Gent, under the direction of Philippe Herreweghe, with an animated graphical score. FAQ Q: Who are the soloists?

It sounds more like a recorder. A: Bach's score specifies "flauto piccolo" and is notated in D minor (a minor third higher than the key of the piece, B minor). I'm pretty sure that in this recording, it's being played on a sopranino recorder (German blockflöte) in G.
