The Christmas Oratorio is one of Bach's greatest masterpieces and this recording is one of The Sixteen's finest.
Mark Padmore is probably the most well reviewed British 'Evangelist', and this recording shows him at his very best.
With an ever-swelling fan-base during the busiest media-quarter for the group with radio, broadsheet and music magazine coverage that will be the envy of competitors, this vivid and passionate Christmas release really should be on many shopping lists.
"Superlative...demonstrating all The Sixteen's familiar virtues." BBC Music Magazine
