July 2010 ****	“The most satisfying items on the disc are the eight chorales...which are all affectingly sung by Trinity Baroque under its director Julian Podger...In summary, this is an interesting concept sympathetically realised”
June 2010	“...this disc provides a pleasant listening experience. We can certainly relish Mayer's exceptional technique, especially his circular breathing, and his musicianship.”
26th March 2010 ****	“Overall, a well-realised alliance of simpatico voicings.”
28th February 2010	“Bach has many voices, and this disc is a bold attempt by one of the world's leading oboists to sing many of them himself...He makes a gloriously rich sound, and the alto solo 'Widerstehe doch der Sünde', with its astonishing dissonances, works well.”
