Free Music Notes for Bach: Christmas Oratorio Weihnachtsoratorium, BWV 248 [SACD]

Free Music Review: Excellent Bach
Hit: 5 Stars

Harnoncourt recorded Bach's Christmas Oratorio with his Concentus musicus Wien once before in about 1973. It's a good recording but there are certainly many better ones recorded using period instruments that have come out since then. This new one is fantastic, though. His instrumentalists are masters now of their period instruments and his somewhat relaxed view of the score has a nice degree of intimacy. I've listened to it four times now and love it. My only complaint is that he's used a female alto where most would use a male counter tenor. I love the recording with Rene Jacobs on Harmonia Mundi because it uses the very fine counter tenor Andreas Scholl but still wouldn't trade this new Harnoncourt for even that as a whole. Highly recommended!
