"The Belgian group Vox Luminis pares everything down to the smallest forces. For these early cantatas, eight singers and nine instrumentalists are the maximum used. Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit, or Actus Tragicus, is taken at a slow speed, convincing on repeated listening ... Other highlights: ... the sinfonia of BWV 150 ... the alto aria in BWV 12 (Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen) ... You may still prefer a bigger ensemble, but Vox Luminis has a winning purity".

"Mit seinem 2004 gegründeten, im belgischen Namur beheimateten Ensemble Vox Luminis ist ihm [Lionel Meunier] eine höchst eindringliche, klangschöne und künstlerische Wahrhaftigkeit anstrebende Aufnahme dieser Kantaten gelungen".

"There are many beautiful moments in this programme of four early cantatas by Bach ... The seriousness with which Lionel Meunier and Vox Luminis approach this work is evident, and the forces are ideal".

"Vox Luminis live up to their name with clear, soft textures redolent of 17th-century devotional rhetoric ... The single voices and instruments constitute a remarkably crystalline landscape. Emotional restraint also offers some ear-pricking moments".
