Review by Yuki Tanaka★★★Sample

Not every song lands, but when it does it LANDS. “Cantata No. 105 Herr, gehe nicht ins Gericht, BWV 105: III. Aria - "Wie zittern und wanken" [Boy Soprano]” is the keeper.

Review by Jules Archer★★★Sample

Overhyped? Maybe. Did I still cry at “Cantata No. 198 Lass, Fürstin, lass noch einen Strahl, BWV 198: IV. Recitative - "Der Glocken bebendes Getön" [Counter-Tenor]”? Also maybe.
