"What can you say except that Philippe Herreweghe and his Collegium Vocale Gent are the defining interpreters of Bach's vocal and choral works for our time?" Classics Today 10/10
Editor's Choice Gramophone May 2009
"…each of these cantatas… contain strikingly expressive music of deep personal commitment and affecting poignancy. Phillippe Herreweghe and his accomplished band get their measure admirably, with eloquent phrasing, fervent declamation and appropriate gravitas. Choosing between the several fine performance currently available is difficult but, in one respect, at least, Herreweghe's recording reigns supreme. It is, for me, the oboe playing of Marcel Ponseele which tips the scales in favour of the newcomer." BBC Music Magazine, April 2009 ****
"What can you say except that Philippe Herreweghe and his Collegium Vocale Gent are the defining interpreters of Bach's vocal and choral works for our time? This is not just a function of skillful exploitation of modern recording techniques or judicious application of recent scholarship, but largely owes to a particular quality of sound and a unique interpretive sensibility that pervades each performance, informed by this conductor and ensemble's nearly 40-year collaboration focused predominantly on Bach." Classics Today 10/10
