"The Japanese ensemble is at its very best in the sprung and textural luminosity of Herr, deine Augen, whose juxtaposition of dance and remorseful chromatic inflection bursts with character. A high-water mark in the series as we approach the home straight." Editor's Choice - Gramophone Magazine, October 2010

"The real glories of these four cantatas are their opening choruses, and Suzuki is fully alive to their different characters...I found it difficult to resist the temptation to turn the volume up for some of these choruses - for the sheer thrill of it" International Record Review, July/August 2010

"The trio texture of two oboes d'amore and bass opening the soprano aria of BWV 19 is exquisite, their tone excellently matched by Hana Blažíkova as she enters to expand the texture to a quartet.. Another fine disc in Suzuki's ongoing journey, particularly when the forces are reduced to chamber scale." BBC Music Magazine, September 2010 ****

A high-water mark in the series as we approach the home straight." Editor's Choice - Gramophone Magazine, October 2010

"Now on the home straight this is perhaps the finest of all Suzuki's recordings of Bach's cantatas released so far."
