The Six Motets Main Performer or Conductor: Sir David Willcocks Accompaniment/Orchestra: Choir of King's College, Cambridge Instrumentation: Choir Individual Works: Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied BWV 225 Der Geist hilft unsrer Schwachheit auf BWV226 Jesu, meine Frede BWV 227 Furchte dich nicht BWV 228 Domm, Jesu, Komm BWV229 Lobet den Herrn BWV230 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: EMI Year Released/Recorded: 1968 1972 1970 Total Playing Time: 73'38" Comments: Matt Lenhard said: I bought this during finals week about 11 years ago as part of a ritual and it remains the most listened to Bach disc in my collection. As some may know already, this is an all male chorus and there is occasional intonation problems in the upper register with the boys on "Komm, Jesu, Komm". It is not a stiff, over-perfect diction, recording at all as you might expect with an English boys choir. There is plenty of emotion put forth when interpreting these spritually emotional texts. BWV230"Lobet den Herrn" is the only accompanied work (organ) and it is simply gorgeous. There is very reverent singing throughout this recording. Of course, highly recommended!
