BBC Music Magazine

August 2012

***

“The 1725 revision of the St John, very different from Bach's first and later versions. Superb Evangelist and soloists, though the 16-strong chorus lacks bite in its role as the self-righteously angry 'crowd'.”

Gramophone Magazine

August 2012

“Van der Meel is a seasoned Bachian and he guides us with unselfregarding aplomb, though this is ultimately a safe and relatively uneventful reading...The Evangelism is deftly pointed but observational rather than inhabited...but the pick of the crop is the ever-improving Maarten Engeltjes, whose 'Es ist vollbracht' is a genuinely affecting set piece enhanced by fine gamba-playing.”

MusicWeb International

July 2012

“The chorus sing lightly, and in some of the turbae have a tendency to peck at the notes....The instrumental players are all a credit and provide neat accompaniment and some very fine instrumental solos...If you are interested in Bach’s surprisingly different second version of the piece, then certainly you should hear this disc.”
