Academy of Ancient Music & Choir of New College Oxford, Edward Higginbottom
“This is a very special recording. Not only is it of quite outstanding quality both musically and dramatically, but, being sung entirely by male voices associated with a single institution (all the soloists are past or present members of New College Choir), it probably comes as close as modern conditions permit to a sound that Bach would have recognized.” The Daily Telegraph
