"Each of these resplendent works, first performed in the mid-1730s, fall into the dramma per musica or serenata category ... All four soloists acquit themselves stylishly, demonstrating on occasion praiseworthy virtuosity, while the choruses, in which the soloists partake, rise spontaneously to the music's occasional character ... making this volume of Suzuki's secular cantatas one of the strongest".

"Durch diese kammermusikalische Besetzungsgrösse, die sich auch im Orchester spiegelt, und ein sehr weiches Klangideal wirken die festlichen Glückwunsch-Kantaten für August III. paradoxerweise etwas intimer ... Die Solopartien sind ... mit erstklassigen Sängern besetzt ... Bei diesem imaginären Kräftemessen gibt es nur einen klaren Sieger: Johann Sebastian Bach".

"Editor's choice: Both the gentleness and ecstatic immediacy of Bach's rich imagery become apparent at the outset and each movement is performed at a compellingly high level. The liquid and brilliantly projected bass-singing of Roderick Williams is simply majestic ... After 22 years of intensive Bach recording, Suzuki and his forces just seem to get better".
