About
For the third time on the Phi label, Philippe Herreweghe gives us the opportunity to (re)discover three cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach – Nimm von uns, Herr, du treuer Gott, BWV 101, Ihr werdet weinen und heulen, BWV 103 and Mache dich, mein Geist, bereit, BWV 115. After two albums of cantatas written during the composer’s first year in Leipzig (LPH006 and LPH012), the Belgian conductor and his Collegium Vocale Gent, orchestra and choir, will be performing three cantatas he composed during his second year as Kantor at St Thomas’s. The choir and vocal soloists are once again challenged to produce performances of subtlety and refined virtuosity, and the instrumentarium is as rich and colourful as those heard previously in this series.

May 2018
Collegium Vocale Gent rise to the occasion splendidly, sounding responsive and sensitive to the thoughtful direction of Philippe Herreweghe. The 12-voice choral texture is ideal, achieving greater expressive warmth than some competing versions. The solo voices, by and large, do justice to the recitatives and arias.
May 2018
Faultlessly paced, subtle and sophisticated, these performances are a delight, with first-rate soloists and some quite brilliant instrumental playing which illuminates so much of Bach’s greatness.
December 2017
Herreweghe blends and balances his forces with customary finesse, and paces his readings with faultless taste and skill, while the soloist team seems to be his first choice these days, understandably in the light of their precision and expressive focus…for sheer beauty of thought and execution, Herreweghe is still a main man.
