About
Continuing the tradition, Bach’s Christmas Oratorio was once again performed in the Frauenkirche in Dresden in December 2011 by the resident forces under the direction of Matthias Grunert. It was a wonderfully evocative performance, available here on CD for the first time.

Awards and reviews
November 2012
[The soloists] all have fine voices and are regulars in the world of historical performance practice. I especially enjoyed Britta Schwarz, who has some of the most beautiful arias to sing and does so brilliantly. She has a warm and pleasant voice and is perfectly suited to the intimate character of the alto arias.
