Perhaps the excitement of performing before the Prince of Wales in his own parish church deserves the credit, but this is my favorite volume so far of the Gardiner pilgrimage to perform all the Bach cantatas on the appropriate dates. The whole series is wonderfully lively and Gardiner's interpretations are always interesting, but none of the other releases so far have combined such well-rehearsed instrumental performance, such splendid soloists matched with arias perfect for their voices, and such glorious composing even by Bach's standards. Buy it now !
