Editorial Review
Amazon.co.uk Review
Less familiar than Bach's Passions, the Christmas Oratorio (1734) is a sacred celebration on a comparably expansive musical canvas. Conceived as a complete work sub-divided into six separate cantatas, each intended for use on a different one of the 12 days of Christmas in the churches of Leipzig, the complete performance is available as a three-disc set, while this collection contains 71 minutes of highlights. Further complicating matters, Bach reused material from existing secular works, nevertheless creating a new and seamless whole. Happily the release comes with useful notes outlining the origin of the work, together with full texts in German and English. Choosing these selections must have been an unenviable task; all six cantatas are represented, with chorales and arias evenly balanced throughout the programme. Soprano Ingrid Kertesi's aria from Part 4, which utilises a natural echo, is particularly beautiful, while throughout the performances and recorded sound are excellent. Substantially the same forces have also recorded Bach's St. Mathew Passion, given the highest rating by the Penguin Guide, as well as several programmes of Bach's cantatas. Not just for Christmas, whatever the season, this is wonderfully uplifting music. --Gary S. Dalkin
