PHI

Musically sumptuous and alarmingly intimate [ST]

Incisive performances of three cantatas, among them one of Bach’s most beloved [JV]

Once accustomed to Herreweghe’s robust bass and firm sforzandos, I enjoyed his overall rounded approach and the superb brass playing [MG]

Expressive interpretations, but the ensemble is not entirely satisfying [JV]

A rewarding version of Beethoven’s only oratorio [SB]
