It is hard to be enthusiastic about these performances , especially when superior versions exist. The balances and tempi are usually wrong in Rilling, which is always disappointing. The Suzuki and Gardiner performances are so superior in every way... And for me the clincher is the clotted dull choral sound. One wants to like these performances because the pieces are so good , but instead all that is left is total disappointment.....

I believe that Bach's complete cantatas beyond just the most famous ones belong in the collections of anyone who loves classical music. I have found that they are consentrated masterpieces. And each one is completely different. I am enamored of Rilling's cycle because of the complete dedication he and his performers give to each work the perform. The only people who will not like Rilling are those who insist on period intruments. I love the booklets that explan each canata and what to look for in them in order to best appreciate Bach's mastery of finding the best way to express the words.
Since the BWV numbers are not sequential this disc contains works from different parts of Bach's life.
14 Were god not with us all the time was written after the Christmas oratorio and contains all mastery of mature Bach with trumpet used to underscore some of the words,
It turns out that Bach did not write 15 which had been aattributed to him..
16 Lord God we give you praise which Bach scored with a violetta is presented by viola in the CD . This cantata performed at New years is joyful and exuberant from end to end.
17 Who thanks gives, praises me is alater piece this is so unique and striking in its orchestration one can imagine how important Bach felt prayer to be.
!8 Just as the showers and snow from heaven fall is a very early piece. It is the first almost operatic canata I have heard which pefectly conveys the fear of sinning and death . I will never forget this strangely sructured cantata where the most dramatic effect came from a recitive for chorus.
Please buy as many Rilling cantatas as you can afford.
Please excuse typos i have a neuroloic disease.
