“… The performances are pretty much ideal. With Dorothee Mields and Hanna Zumsande we have two first-class sopranos, who have much experience in this kind of repertoire, and know exactly how to communicate the content of these cantatas… The playing of the small ensemble also leaves nothing to be desired. The cantatas are separated by fantasias for viola da gamba, from a set of twelve which for a long time were thought to be lost, but were rediscovered several years ago… they are nice additions to the programme. Simone Eckert delivers fine performances, showing that these pieces have more to offer than mere entertainment. Telemann demonstrates his mastership here as well as in the cantatas.”
