Reviews
Exceptional: 'An album of extraordinary quality ... Butt is, without a doubt, not only a great musicologist, but also one of the best Bachian conductors of the moment.'
Scherzo
'John Butt selects an intimate triptych that illuminates different facets and functions of Bach’s well-appointed church music ... This is not run-of-the-mill melancholy but an interpretation that is humane, touching and reassuring.'
Gramophone
'However, the highlight, for me, is the Actus Tragicus. It’s performed beautifully here. It’s also here that the quality of Linn’s recording really comes into its own, each instrument clearly audible.'
MusicWeb International
'Certainly one of the top recordings of these cantatas on the market, and one with an indefinable and extremely attractive intimate quality.'
