Bach: St. Matthew Passion

"The sound quality…is particularly successful. Captured live but virtually free of audience noise, the recording preserves a very natural sense of space while maintaining an excellent level of instrumental detail. Voices are clearly projected and well separated without any sense of dryness, and the balance consistently supports the intelligibility of the counterpoint. It is a recording that does not aim to impress through sonic spectacle, but rather to quietly serve a musically coherent and carefully considered project. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"The sonics are superb: close and warm as have been the previous recordings by the Collective. Seeing this project to completion will be a treat."

"The rich, well-balanced sound of Cantata Collective’s choral and orchestral forces...this Passion’s engineering serves Bach’s writing and the performers’ well."

"Like previous Cantata Collective recordings of Bach’s choral works, this is a beautifully recorded and performed performance of a very challenging work."
