Bach's Magnificat is almost a microcosm of everything (well, almost) that's wonderful about Bach's sacred music--all in under half an hour. This is exactly what has made it so very popular among conductors and record labels. So Philippe Herreweghe's greatness as a Bach conductor notwithstanding, this disc has a lot of competition. The great strength of Herreweghe's Magnificat is his soloists: alto Gérard Lesne, tenor Howard Crook, and bass Peter Kooy are solid, confident, and stylish; soprano Barbara Schlick sounds much warmer and more appealing than usual; and she, Agnès Mellon, and Lesne make beautiful music together in the trio "Suscepit Israel." The problem with this Magnificat is that the orchestra and especially the chorus just don't cut loose and get joyful when the music calls for it--the jubilant opening chorus in particular sounds positively genteel. (Try John Eliot Gardiner or Reilly Lewis to hear the difference.) Most Bach fans will probably want more than one Magnificat, however, and there's a good reason to pick up this one: the filler, Cantata BWV 80, "Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott." The piece is basically a multimovement fantasia on Luther's famous hymn tune ("A mighty fortress is our God" to English-speakers) and Herreweghe, using the trumpet and drum parts added by Bach's son Wilhelm Friedemann, gives it a gutsy, thrilling performance, worth having by itself. --Matthew Westphal
