Summary: Transcendant Beauty
Comment: This DVD is one I play all year round, not just at Advent: but particularly during that time, when meditation and comtemplation of the ever-renewed miracle of Christmas should be on one's mind, this music and these performers will help keep the commercial clamor at bay. The selection of Bach's specifically seasonal music, including the Magnificat, is wonderfully balanced. Harnoncourt's commitment to this music is informed by his spirituality as much as by his artistic genius. The Schoeberg Choir and the Concentus Musicus Wien are consistently exellent, and the soloists are sublime. Ian Bostridge's ethereal tenor, Christine Schäfer's pure soprano--both sound as I imagine angels sound, and the other soloists are splendid as well. There is a serenity in the faces of the singers, especially in Schäfer's, as this music pours out of them, that will gently communicate itself to you. Transcendant, beautfiul. A treasure.
