"Even by the standards of Suzuki's continuing cantata series (which has now reached the secular cantatas alongside the end of the sacred cantatas), this is an outstanding release of four really strong works including two fine wedding cantata".

"Completing the disc's solo line-up are the silvery, bright-toned soprano of Hana Blazikova and Damien Guillon's supple countertenor. Suzuki's customary transparent springiness, sensitivity and almost feline gracefulness ensure a trousseau of sophisticated delights".

"With volume 51 of his Bach cantata series Masaaki Suzuki takes a break from the regular cycle of weekly liturgical cantatas to pause and ponder on a group of works written for other occasions ... Perhaps it was the unfamiliarity of the music, or maybe the edgy uncertainty surrounding their genesis, but I've found this an especially rewarding release ... In this blistering chorus Suzuki yet again manages to achieve splendid and uplifting singing and playing without pushing the speed or exaggerating the dynamics ... Highly recommended".
