Review by Natasha Tomlinson
The album Weihnachtsoratorium by Johann Sebastian Bach, conducted by Karl Richter, is a masterpiece of classical music that perfectly captures the spirit of Christmas. The album features six cantatas that tell the story of the birth of Jesus Christ, from the announcement to the shepherds to the arrival of the wise men.
The performances on this album are exceptional, with the choir and orchestra delivering a powerful and moving interpretation of Bach's music. The soloists are also outstanding, with their voices blending perfectly with the ensemble to create a beautiful and harmonious sound.
One of the highlights of the album is the opening chorus of the first cantata, "Jauchzet, frohlocket," which sets the tone for the entire work. The choir's joyful singing and the orchestra's lively playing create a sense of celebration and excitement that is truly infectious.
