This is (along with Parrott's equally excellent acount of the b minor Mass) perhaps the finest Bach recording I have ever heard. Some may criticize this recording's most conspicuous feature (i.e. the relatively tiny forces), but I feel that it is Parrott's strict adherence to authenticity that is its strength. The choir is lively, responding sensitively both to Parrott's direction and to Bach's score. The soloists are generally excellent, conveying the meaning of the text as well as paying attention to musical details (articulation, intonation, ornamentation, etc.). Parrott has chosen female singers whose boy-like tone surely comes as close as is currently possible to imitating Bach's teen-age boy sopranos and altos. Such clarity of singing is rare, and is perfectly suited to the gravity inherent in Bach's religious work. The same could be said of the choir, which is made up of the soloists and, in the sopranos and altos, boys. The orchestra, too is ideal. Conforming as it does to Bach's own Draft of 1730, it provides an ideal balance of power and clarity. The presence of the harpsichord, all too rare in many recordings claiming 'authenticity' is also welcome. In sum, this recording comes about as close as is currently possible to recreating the sounds of Bach's own ideal. But beyond this, Parrott's direction is as always inspired. The drama is weel paced, the turba choruses range from charming to hair-raising, and with the small forces at his disposal, Parrott gives us a final choral of unprecedented power. --- Jeffrey Haylock, jsbach.org
