Amazon.co.uk Review
Bach-Magnificat is a complete compilation, compiled by EMI, to commemorate Bach's 250th anniversary, in an accessible, luxurious anthology of the baroque master's sacred music. Over two and a half hours, this programme encompasses the grand scale of the Magnificat in D (BWV243) and Missa Brevis in A (BWV234). Between these are scared cantatas, the very popular choral Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme BWV140 contrasting with sensitive solo vocal writing in Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen (BWV12), motets, arias and an organ prelude and fugue. It is a well-balanced programme, covering every aspect of Bach's church music except the Passions. The interesting booklet recounts King's College Choir's long involvement with the music of Bach, while the Academy of Ancient Music are thoroughly versed in this repertoire, the two ensembles producing a glorious sound. The soloists are of the very highest calibre, with Ian Bostridge, Michael Chance, Michael George, Susan Gritton and Lisa Milne, bringing great humanity to this incomparable music. King's College Choir have also recorded John Rutter's fine modern Requiem, and feature on an exceptional double-set of Vivaldi Glorias. Magnificat's uncompromising quality will satisfy the serious collector while providing a thoroughly rewarding introduction to Bach's great sacred music for a wider audience.--Gary S. Dalkin

Bach and King's College for magnificent music. November 26, 2000
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
The Academy of Ancient Music perform a selection of the music of Bach, including his Magnificat in D (=Canticle of the Virgin Mary) using all the power and majesty of the choir of King's College under the master Stephen Cleobury. You will listen to this music and be thrilled at the wonder of this combination of excellence.
I gotta have it! November 24, 2000

While re-tuning the radio this morning, I happened to catch a brief snatch of a choral work on Radio 3. It was so beautiful that I was compelled to listen to the end. Within a few bars I knew that it was Bach and that it was one of the top English choirs. The announcement at the end confirmed that it was the Cantata BWV 230 "Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden", performed by the Choir of King's College Cambridge under the inestimable Stephen Cleobury, who just gets better with every passing year. I immediately resolved to buy the album. Finding here that there is such a treasure of other Bach works on the double CD has just confirmed my choice. I am now looking forward to Christmas!
