"The Purcell Quartet and guests are most welcome: even the most distinguished of period performers with larger ensembles can’t achieve the intimacy that the forces here have at their disposal."
- International Record Review
"All four singers approach their often testing lines with expressive freedom ... with no designated 'conductor' this is chamber music, warmed by the acoustic environment of a London church. The resulting clarity is delightful."
- BBC Music Magazine
This second volume of Bach's early cantatas from Baroque music ensemble the Purcell Quartet includes the first part of his exceptional body of work the Weimar Cantatas. Uniquely, the Purcell Quartet employs single voices, no choir, which is what Bach himself used. While still controversial, the approach recreates the original performances and therefore stands out from the more conventional approach, the product of subsequent developments of massed choral singing. The quartet is joined on this 2005 recording by a superb cast of vocalists including soprano Emma Kirkby, countertenor Michael Chance, tenor Charles Daniels and bass Peter Harvey.
