Description:

Quicken / Bach: Christmas OratorioThe Christmas Oratorio is one of Bachs most famous religious works, standing alongside the St. Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. This is a masterful performance by La Petite Bandethe premier period-instrument ensemble led by S. Quinkenfeaturing a stellar lineup of soloists. While the market is already flooded with numerous recordings, this Quiken recording stands out as one of the absolute best. This work distinguishes itself among Bachs major religious compositions for its sense of human warmth, a quality that resonates deeply with Quikens inclusive musical approach.J.S.
