Following the huge success of 2015's Magnificat & Christmas Cantata, Dunedin Consort releases its eagerly awaited follow up, Bach's Christmas Oratorio.
John Butt delivers another revelatory performance which propelled this recording onto many of 2016's 'Best of' lists. The Arts Desk and The Observer both singled it out as one of the best of the year's seasonal offerings, whilst The New Yorker included it in its 'Notable Performances and Recordings of 2016' list and Limelight Magazine included it in its 'Christmas Gift Guide'.
Dunedin's acclaimed soloists are Mary Bevan, Clare Wilkinson, Nicholas Mulroy and Matthew Brook (Cantatas 1, 3, 6), Joanne Lunn, Ciara Hendrick, Thomas Hobbs and Konstantin Wolff (Cantatas 2, 4, 5).
Butt applies his extensive knowledge of Bach's performing practices to present the range of choral scoring that Bach seems to have used, realizing something of the implications of the composer's performing conditions and decisions.
A must-have Christmas recording, this seasonal favourite is a welcome addition to the Dunedin Consort's already enviable catalogue.
