    Critics Disc of the Year

February 2008

Jan Willem de Vriend oversees a joyful account of Bach's festive music with light-footed responses to dance rhythms…. I can whole heartedly commend this issue for its expressive warmth, its disciplined choral singing and its natural declamation.
4 out of 5 stars

Janurary 2008
