Jacobs' personal look at Bach - another masterpiece
A fantastic version of Bach's masterpiece. Rene Jacobs is the only conductor to add lute to the continuo here, opening up illuminating possibilities in the recitatives – where he typically sets about Bach’s narrative with invigorating immediacy.
Nothing is taken for granted, no telling detail overlooked. Where some performances merely relate the Christmas story, Jacobs lives it. Werner Gura is a compelling narrator with heft as required, Klaus Hager a true bass, capable of majesty without bluster.
True, some tempos raise eyebrows – given the soporific scene-setting of the Part II Sinfonia, it would be lucky if the shepherds were able to stay awake to watch over their flocks. But reservations aside, Jacobs draws you into the mystery and wonder, the majesty and celebration.
A great interpretation - a true masterpiece.
P.S. It is a beautiful edition, too.
