Ton Koopman

The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir

 

Koopman’s irrepressible enthusiasm and impish wit remain undiminished as he ends his immense 12-year project recording all Bach’s cantatas. Assured vocal soloists, fluent choir and impeccable instrumentalists all meet Bach’s often cruel demands with superb control of style and technique.

 

“The performance is excellent throughout, while the recording does full justice to this breathtakingly beautiful music, performed with the total commitment which has dignified the whole of this magnificent undertaking.” George Pratt, The BBC Music Magazine Review.
