Gott soll allein mein Herze haben

"Recommended: In between these two very fine Bach performances we hear pieces by two earlier composers. The Schütz piece, Erbarm dich mein. o Herre Gott ... [and] Buxtehude's Klag-Lied ... This is a richly rewarding disc. Iestyn Davies offers a flawless exhibition of the art of countertenor singing, bringing superb technique and alert intelligence to all the music. Under the stylish direction of Jonathan Cohen, the members of Arcangelo give distinguished support with the organ paying of Tom Foster a special delight. This is intimate music ... a most worthy successor to Iestyn Davies' previous disc of Bach cantatas with Arcangelo".

"The emotional core of this album is Dieterich Buxtehude's 'Klag-Lied'. It's a sublime performance from Arcangelo under Jonathan Cohen ... It's a pass-me-the-tissues performance from Iestyn Davies, too ... Davies bewilderingly unblemished ton is otherworldly at times ... The Bach performances are almost as good ... An altogether wonderful album entirely deserving of your time and money".
