Free Music Notes for Bach: Christmas Oratorio Weihnachtsoratorium, BWV 248 [SACD] AlbumFree Music Review: Excellent, but I prefer Harnoncourt's Teldec recording Hit: 4 StarsHarnoncourt's Teldec recording of the six cantatas comprising the Christmas Oratorio is the most pastoral of any version with which I'm familiar. That impression is assisted by the presence of boy trebles from the Vienna Boys Choir and the use of the re-constructed oboe da caccia. The instrument is gently plangent in tone and something of a revelation when the LPs were released in the early 1970s.
The current version is excellent but misses the magic of the earlier version in its use of all adult soloists and choir. Soloists are excellent. Gerald Finley is a standout, but appears only in the first three cantatas. Christian Gerhaber replaces him in catatas four through six. The Arnold Schoenberg Choir is very fine and their accented English, which compromised Haroncourt's DHM "Messiah" is not a problem in this German language work. The Concentus Musicus plays very well indeed. It is instructive to compare their current state with some of their 1960s efforts to see just how far period istrument expertise has come.
The SACD surround sound is quite good and captures the sound of the Musikverein well. I think this is the only alternative available in high definition sound.
In addition to the cited earlier Harnoncourt, I hold an abiding affection for Richter's DG Archiv version, despite being played on modern instruments and an egregiously slow tempo for "Schlafe, mein liebster" in the second cantata. His solo quartet (Janowitz, Ludwig, Wunderlich, Crass) is the best ever for my money.
