"On 10 March 1750, the large St Michael's Church caught fire and was destroyed within the hour ... On 19 October 1762, the newly-built church was dedicated during a religious service; at its heart was a sermon which lasted two hours. It was embraced by the two parts of Telemann's oratorio, which were performed before and after the sermon ... The large forces Telemann had at his disposal attest to the festive character of the occasion ... In his old age, Telemann had not lost none of his creative powers, and that comes clearly to the fore here. This is the first recording of a magnificent work ... Overall, this performance does ample justice to this impressive composition, and Telemann lovers should not miss this important addition to the discography".

"This music is fascinating for its well documented historical background. In 1750, Hamburg's Michaeliskirche was razed to the ground by a fire ... Twelve years later, Telemann's specially-composed oratorio ... was sung in the newly-built church ... The musical forces used have been precisely followed in the Kölner Akademie's lively account ... The solo vocalists are excellent, and are supported by some eloquently phrased and sharply defined instrumental playing".
