Absolutely wonderful!

"I have at least seven recordings of the Bach motets and almost passed this one by when searching for what's out there. Am I glad I did not miss it for unlike most of my other very fine recordings, this one respects Bach's uncanny sense of line and direction - like none other. Each phrase is sculptured in an extraordinary way, but not in any sense overdone. It all fits like a glove like nothing I have heard recorded or in concert. The double choir effect which Bach uses so effectively bounces right out like listening from the conductor's stand. If you like the motets, please do not miss this recording. If you don't know them, here is where to start. I would add that unlike the 'showy' new recordings which often rush the motets, the tempi taken here are natural and lilt like a waltz, but not heavy nor burdensome. This is Bach at his best!"
