Easter Oratorio Main Performer or Conductor: Philippe Herreweghe Accompaniment/Orchestra: Collegium Vocale Ghent and Orchestra Soloists: Barbara Schlick Kai Wessel James Taylor Peter Kooy Instrumentation: Bassoon Cello Choir Flute Oboe Orchestra Organ Trumpet Viola Violin Vocal Individual Works: Easter Oratorio BWV 249 Cantata BWV 66 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: Harmonia Mundi France Catalog Number: HMC 901513 Year Released/Recorded: 1994 Total Playing Time: 73 min Comments: Eran Zamir said: This is a refreshing and unpretentious rendition of the Easter Oratorio. Even people who don't necessarily care for period instruments will like it. Herreweghe uses just the right tempos and a small chorus, which gives it an intimate feel. While this certainly cannot be considered the definitive version of the work, it is an excellent choice. The cantata is also well done - Herreweghe avoids dragging out the solo parts, making it a fine recording.
