"Christoph Graupner's 1743 cantata cycle on these words is profoundly meditative, yet this recording ... is the work's first ... It's all sung and played with stylish commitment and intimate expressive warmth by these accomplished musicians. A delight and a revelation, notwithstanding one or two weak moments".

"Vurdering: Critic's choice" - "It is difficult to overpraise the musicians' commitment to this project: their pride in it comes across at every turn. The instrumentalists, led by Soly at the keyboard, are efficiently eloquent and respond sensitively to the subtleties of Graupner's writing ... The two protagonists are more of a mixed bag ... But these relative shortcomings don't lessen the impact of a score that's definitely worth discovering".
