"A wonderful performance, a wonderful recording! These are excellent musicians, singers and soloists of the Bach Society Houston! It is a very concentrated performance, full of details, with a rich sound, and a very impressive and authentic interpretation of this glorious music by Bach....And you've "caught" the emotion, the aura and the spirit of this music and its performance in an excellent and absolutely convincing manner, with exactly the right taste!"
