5.0 out of 5 stars
Indeed a worthy Grammy-Nominee, January 4, 2001
This review is from: Christmas Oratorio (Audio CD)
I had the pleasure and privilege to be in Stuttgart when the Christmas Oratorio was recorded. It was recorderd live. What an amazing intepretation. For me it was like seeing heaven wide open. Seeing Helmuth Rilling interacting with the soloist, choir and orchestra is just amazing. And that's what one can feel by listening to this recording. Already the opening choir "Jauchzet frohlocket ..." is an absolute higlight. Hannes Laeubin and Eberhard Kuebler playing 1st and 2nd trumpet are outstanding. Not to forget the Gaechinger Kantorei and the Bach Collegium as well as a the soloists. A must have recording and hopefully the Grammy-winner 2001!
