Vox Luminis - Kantaten - Presto Classical

Christ lag in Todesbanden is performed with conviction and flair by Vox Luminis, but for me the focus is definitely on the other works, and the ways they explore that basic concept of 'sacred music with instruments'. Johann Sebastian referred to Johann Christoph as a ‘profound’ composer, and rightly so – this is not just an album of 'pre-Bach' groundwork, but great music to be enjoyed in its own right.
