Editorial Reviews

Most recordings of the motets include a sixth, the single-movement Lobet den Herrn, but this program includes only what its producers consider the "core of Bach's motet output." Whatever the merits of that decision, the singing--accompanied by various strings, winds, and organ--is assured and technically flawless. Director Frieder Bernius encourages a strongly inflected style a la Harnoncourt, but it's done in a way that favors expressiveness and clarity. --David Vernier
