"Michael Alexander Willens wählt insgesamt flüssige Tempi, alles wird hervorragend genau und lebendig von der Kölner Akademie artikuliert ... Alle Solisten bilden auch den homogenen, wirklich chorisch singenden, Chor, auch für die Choräle wählt Willens flotte Tempi. Hocherfreuend sind die Leistungen der Gesangssolisten ... Am besten gefällt dem Rezensenten Mirko Ludwig, dessen Tenor voll natürlichem Schmelz und frischem Timbre vor Sanges- und Siegesfreude erstrahlt, der deutlich deklamiert und präzise artikuliert".

"I've already made it clear that Christmas Oratorios II is well worth having. If you want, or can afford just one Telemann Christmas recording, should it be that or the new Cantatas III? The soloists may be different, but equally fine; if anything, Peter Kooij on the new CD just has the edge over the bass voices on the oratorio recording. Willens and the Akademie are equally attentive to the music on both ... I can't imagine these cantatas receiving a better recording any time soon".

"Christmas favourites 2020: Bach was by no means the only composer to write cantatas for the church year; Telemann is thought to have produced more than 1,700, many of them for Advent and Christmas. The Kölner Akademie under Michael Alexander Willens present world-premiere recordings of four of these cantatas".

"Recommended: These four cantatas appear on disc for the first time, and one can only be happy that Michael Alexander Willens has selected these cantatas for this disc, which is the third with cantatas for Christmastide by Telemann, released by CPO. May many follow, because once again, Telemann impresses with his originality in the way he sets the text. Fortunately, the performances leave nothing to be desired ... The instrumental ensemble is also in top form here. This is just excellent stuff, and I urge anyone who likes baroque vocal music to add this disc to his collection".
