Bach: Sacred Cantatas, Vol. 2, BWV 20 - 36 [Box Set]

Johann Sebastian Bach, Gustav Leonhardt, ...

Elektra / Wea, 1994

A splendid interpretation of celestial music.
This version of the first cantatas is a wonderful illustration of what celestial music is. Original instruments, superb sound, and great interpretations with Saint Harnoncourt. Plenty of energetic chorals and peaceful arias that take the heart near God.

Teldec, 1994

Recording's Greatest Achievement
Had this set not been made, then the history of performance practice in the last quarter of the 20th century and beyond would have proceeded very differently. Had this set not been made we would not have many of the current leading figures in the field of early music ...

Elektra / Wea, 1993

As good as it gets.
Haroncourt isn't everyone's favorite but I far prefer him over the more "musicologically correct" performances that have appeared in recent years. (My favorite "Poppea" is the Glyndebourne with an orchestra and with Nero sung by a tenor.) About two years ago I ...

This set is the culmination of several decades of work on the part of the West German record label Teldec (formerly known as Telefunken-Decca). With their early-music subdivision Das Alte Werk (similar to DG's Archiv or Decca's L'Oiseau-Lyre), Teldec have been in the ...
