Philippe Herreweghe & Collegium Vocale Gent - Bach Cantatas & Motet - BBC Radio 3 'Record Review'

Life enhancing Bach and Simon Heighes told us when he reviewed it he thought this might be the finest yet of the five volumes of Bach cantatas Herreweghe​ and co have released on their own label, the most deeply felt. Fine programming as well, Cantata 45 is followed by a motet with an identity crisis as Simon put it, which is why it doesn't get performed often enough, and then Bach's funeral cantata 118 O Jesu Christ, Meins Lebens Licht'.
