"With 10 top-flight soloists, it brings this awe-inspiring project to a powerful end." The Independent on Sunday, 31st October 2010

"The variety of these works for Christmas and Epiphany is astonishing, and the singing, from the Monteverdi Choir and soloists including Magdalena Kozena, fully matches it." Sunday Times, 10th October 2010 ****

"There are countless highlights in the final two volumes. The duet-singing in BWV32 between Claron McFadden and Peter Harvey is memorably rewarding. Similarly cathartic is the peerless, reassuring expression of eternal union in the great duet of BWV154 with Michael Chance and James Gilchrist." Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine December 2010

"It's been not just a great pleasure but also a privilege to review all these recordings. As the series comes to an end we must applaud heartily the achievement of all the performers and the vision and drive of Sir John Eliot Gardiner, who conceived and led this remarkable journey. But above all we must salute the genius of Johann Sebastian Bach, whose wonderful, inventive and very moving music has been brought thrillingly to life in this marvellous collection of discs."
