"Auf dieser CD nun hat sich der Leiter des Bach Collegiums Japan zwei Geburtstagskantaten Bachs angenommen ... Das kleine Ensemble singt mit ausgezeichneter Klangkultur, auch Intonation, Textdeklamation und Gesamtklang sind von erlauchter Qualität. Da bleiben eigentlich keine Wünsche offen, zumal auch das Orchester sensibel, schwungvoll und mit einer geradezu ansteckenden Spielfreude ans Werk geht".

"Lithe choral singing, balletic rhythms, and a detailed yet transparent sound. Joanne Lunn is agile and fleet as the goddess of War ... Robin Blaze is lyrical as the goddess Pallas ... Makoto Sakurada's lucid tenor is particularly effective in the rhetorical and declamatory recitatives, while bass Dominik Wörner paints the words to vivid effect".

"The choruses exhibit buoyancy as well as beautifully rich and balanced recorded sound".

"The choruses exhibit buoyancy as well as beautifully rich and balanced recorded sound. The challenge to modern ears remains the super-'historical' brass ... bravely played on instruments without the modern corrective of tuning holes ... The effect is something of a double-edged sword in weighing up the beauties of 'authentic' timbre and our expectation these days to hear music 'in tune'".
