"Recording of the month: It becomes clear right away that this disc will be a recording of distinction - and so it proves, with a performance that deserves the highest accolade ... The members of RIAS Kammerchor play a minor role but are, when called upon, in excellent form ... As for the playing of the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, this is a real bonus. It is easily the best orchestral playing of all the versions I know of these cantatas. All the solos are wonderfully performed ... This is a wonderful recording throughout ... This disc is a must for all devotees of Bach's church music and the cantatas in particular".
