La Petite Bande continues its successful series with a seasonal collection. This CD includes cantatas for Christmas Day, the second and third days of Christmas and the first Sunday after Christmas. “His vocal soloists sing with disarming simplicity and ease in arias, and blend superbly in ensemble.” BBC Music Magazine “Gerlinde Samann is truly exceptional, exquisitely fresh and uncomplicated - every soprano aria throughout the disc held me enthralled. She is well matched by Petra Noskaiova's alto in the extraordinarily imaginative duet of BWV 91.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2012 *** “With sensitively played period instruments, balance problems are minimal, and the gain in linear clarity and rhythmic life is inestimable. What is more, the music sounds utterly 'right' played this way...This is another first-rate disc in what I find the most consistently satisfying and musically rewarding of any Bach cantata series on record.” International Record Review, January 2012 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Bach - Cantatas Volume 31
“This disc is a perfect introduction to this wonderfully rich repertoire, truly music’s greatest treasure trove.” (MusicWeb) “…there are many fine solo contributions, from among which I would single out the sensitive partnership of Yukari Nonoshita and Robin Blaze in the vocally imitative duet of BWV 91. Gerd Türk and Peter Kooij are on their characteristically dependable form, but it would be an injustice to overlook the delicate and limpid playing of Liliko Maeda whose flute obbligato has ousted the more frequently encountered violin in the tenor aria of BWV 101.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2006 **** | | | (also available to download from $10.75) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

“James Gilchrist and Peter Harvey negotiate virtuoso arias with panache; likewise Katharine Fuge's singing is a constant pleasure in BWV91 and 121. The Monteverdi Choir and The English Baroque Soloists comes into their own in the splendid opening chorus of BWV110, Bach's breathtaking adaptation of the Overture of the Fourth Orchestral Suite.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2005 **** | | | (also available to download from $10.75) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

2010 marks the 40 anniversary of Collegium Vocale Ghent: founded by Philippe Herreweghe at a time when the Baroque revival was still an affair for specialists, the Belgian choir has been at the very heart of the rediscovery of Bach’s sacred music. Abundantly illustrated and elegantly presented, these nine CD-books offer you the entire collection of Bach/Herreweghe recordings. “Forty years after its foundation it’s all too easy to take the excellence and consistency of Collegium Vocale Ghent for granted: back in 1970 there wasn’t any such ensemble in mainland Europe. Philippe Herreweghe, a psychiatry student, founded CVG to put his ideas into practice…CVG became part of the first complete Bach cantata project for Telefunken, Herreweghe, at hospital in the day, conducting his choir in the evening sessions… Presentation is exemplary: top quality at mid price, and a birthday gift that really will keep on giving.” Andrew McGregor, BBC Music Magazine, June 2010 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

“…a wonderful digest of Bach's unparalleled achievement in this area. The soloists are generally distinguished, and sometimes excellent - tenor Peter Schreier and soprano Arleen Augér both give object lessons in Bach style… Rilling's performances… are neatly tailored and naturally benevolent in nature, buoyant with the wholesomeness and warmth that this great music so frequently emanates.
