“…in Petra Noskaiová has found a priceless jewel. Her singing of the meditative E minor alto aria in BWV 81 with its accompanying recorders and strings is beautifully done as indeed is that belonging to BWV 144, also in E minor. Like Eliot Gardiner, Kuijken pays attention to every detail in Bach's responses to textural content.”
Awards Issue 2009
“As in the best of the previous releases there is a strong sense, encouraged by an intimate recorded sound, of singers and instrumentalists eating from the same plate, both in contemplative arias and fully (which, here, means one-to-a-part) concerted music.”
