"Marvellous life-enhancing music ... can be enjoyed at any time of the year, not just at Christmas"
(MusicWeb Feb 2006)
All three works on this disc are taken from Bach's Christmas services for 1723, as they would have been performed in his two Leipzig churches, St. Nicholas' and St. Thomas'.
Magnificat, BWV 243a
Cantata: Christen, ätzet diesen Tag
Sanctus, BWV 238
