5.0 out of 5 stars An American masterpiece, October 15, 2000
By Chris McArdle (Lincoln, NE USA) - See all my reviews
Richard Dyer of the Boston Globe wrote this of the 1998 performance of Bach's Christmas Oratorio (which led to this, the first ever American recording of the work): "Throughout, Wachner led a lovingly detailed, completely unpedantic, historically informed performance, devoid of the early music ticks that can intrude." Select this 2-CD set and you too can experience the wonder and joy of Bach at Christmastime. The rich choral sound of the Boston Bach Ensemble is well supported by Boston University's Marsh Chapel Choir, and a period-instrument ensemble that will leave you breathless. Julian Wachner, orchestrator of this three-ring performance, skillfully blends the three ensembles together into a cohesive whole that sets a new standard for many years to come.
