Rating: - SAVING THE GENTILES
These performances date from 1992, and are thus not part of the famous and successful 'pilgrimage' that Gardiner and his colleagues undertook in the millennium year to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Bach's death.

Rating: - Bach JS : Advent Cantatas with John Eliot Gardiner

Cantata BWV 36 "Swhings freudig euch empor" also provides some good classic Bach with a good interplay of various instruments with touching vocals. As a rule, look for Gardiner performances of Bach cantatas ... Read More
