"Vurdering: Recording of the month" - "What an exuberant, rich and dancing paean of praise and thanksgiving this is in the hands of Gardiner and his musicians ... This is an outstanding addition to Gardiner's Bach discography".

"Ligesom de kantater, der udgør Bachs Juleoratorium, er hans mindre kendte påskeoratorium en slags kirkekantate skabt ved genbrug af verdslig musik. Det er den sene 40-minutters version, Bach-eksperten Gardiner har nyindspillet. Hans kor og solister er fabelagtige".

"For all the Pascal jubilation of the Oratorio, it's the simple, unaffected solace of the Actus Tragicus, however, that steals the show ... Gardiner slims down his forces from the 23 voices of the Oratorio down to a dozen. His tempos are beautifully interrelated so that everything leads to (and from) the central pause that consigns the mystery of death to utter silence".

"A new spatial and tonal experience from van Veldhoven".

"Performances are stylish, graceful and very well sung and pleyaed. That is, with the exception of countertenor Patrick van Goethem whose pinched and acid vocal timbre ill blends with that of the remaining soloists".

"Stimmlich passen die vier Solisten gut zueinander ... gleichwohl ist Suzuki im Vergleich zu seinen Einspielungen der beiden Passionen und des Weihnachtsoratoriums noch einmal ein Zuwachs an Homogenität und Konzentration gelungen".

"Auch Heute noch eine durchaus hörenswerte Aufnahme, obwohl sich seither in Sachen Bach interpretationsgeschichtlich ja einiges bewegt hat".

""[In Actus Tragicus] Gardiner toys delectably with Bach's meticulously textured dissonances ... The Easter Oratorio could not provide a greater contrast ... There is the customary razzle and dazzle from the virtuoso Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists ... Gardiner is clearly convinced of its merits and therefore you'll find no greater advocate".

"Vurdering: G (Gramophone recommends)" - "The excellent declamation, impeccable shaping of contrapuntal lines and flawless tuning of the Retrospect choir comes to the fore in the festive opening and closing choruses".

"The experienced Michael Chance dances through his "Saget" with youthful discipleship. In each movement, Brüggen allows the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century to play with warmth and length in a most distinguished new reading".

"Overall the latest Bach Collegium Japan release fails to sound quite special enough. There is something too calculatingly routine in the elegant but dangerously long aria of the Easter piece".
