"The choral sound is lean and alert, helped by lively tempos. Its near-solo tone, though, mingles rather than contrasts with the similar-scaled orchestra ... Of the soloists, Thomas Hobbs is outstandingly expressive and vocally at ease, while bass Peter Kooij too is magnificent ... This is Bach at his most inventive, in a sensitive and polished performance".

"For all except one-voice-per-part absolutists, this must rank as good a recording of Bach cantatas as has ever been made".

"Vurdering: Gramophone choice" - "Especially in BWV25, Collegium Vocale Gent create the most ravishing of luminescent textures ... Perfect balance is found here and Hana Blažiková's sparkling singing contributes to a memorable account ... I defy anyone to find a more deploring and anguished reading of 'Wie zittern', with oboist Marcelle Ponseele performing the obbligato oboe even more exquisitely than before. This is a reading of experience and great beauty: quite simply a 'must-have' for Bach lovers".
