“The Pavel Haas Quartet play with plenty of feeling and they also relish the rhythmic cut and thrust of the Molto vivace third movement, capturing to perfection the more relaxed Trio''s sunny spirit.The final opens to a gentle smile then keys up for some dancing exuberance...there''s an abundance of varied drama” Gramophone Magazine, December 2010 | |

Bach: Motets – Collegium Vocale Gent/Herreweghe
So fast has the early music movement grown that it is difficult to believe that it''s 30 years since Philippe Herreweghe''s fresh-voiced choir first recorded the Bach motets. They now revisit these peerless masterpieces with young voices and a very varied approach to scoring. These days, directors tend to choose between one singer to a part, or a larger choral approach, sometimes doubling voices with instruments; Herreweghe does all three here with different motets. Jesu, meine freude with just five soloists and continuo is perfectly poised, while Singet dem Herrn (which Mozart so revered) and Der Geist hilft burst into life with more singers and instruments. Throughout, Herreweghe achieves a supremely flexible responsiveness to the texts.
