Frankfurter Rundschau "Anybody who is interested in the music of J.S. Bach should listen to this recording!" Crescendo " …A magic moment of musical interpretation!" South West German radio "Guttenberg's interpretation becomes a veritable church service. The mood is comtemplative, and the chorus is majestic. All is brought off most dramatically." Musikwoche "This recording really gives you gooseflesh and inspires the listener to a kind of compassion motivted by piety." Financial Times Germany
