Music reviews of Altbachisches Archiv
Music Review: Cantus Colln and the Bach family
Rating: 5 Stars
I cannot really add to the praise that this CD deserves. It speaks for itself, as does the music of the Bach family. Anyone who wants to really understand the Bach family and its most famous member should buy this CD. The music making is outstanding.
One reviewer has commented on the sameness of the performance, everything at a highly excellent level. Is this a serious fault? I don't think so. One may not always care for the music of earlier eras, and perhaps the individual works are best listened to one at a time, but musicianship at this level should be admired and can't really said to be too perfect.
Another point, please listen to the music in light of the texts. The texts may seem old fashioned and in many cases uninteresting in their own right, but both the music composed by the Bachs and the performance on this recording must be listened to with the texts in mind.
