****
“The Bach Choir creates a hearty, committed congregation singing chorales, and characterises effectively...Daniels proves a superb evangelist, matching his narrative pace to the dramatic action with great sensitivity, while William Sharp is a restraining Christus, convincing without over-dramatising...A nostalgic return to the days before lean, minimal Bach.”
