“…Felix Koch is the artistic director of the Telemann Project. And you can tell: he loves this composer. And you can also hear that Koch is able to transfer this enthusiasm to his agile and transparent (historically informed) Neumeyer Consort, as well as to the young singers of the Gutenberg Soloists, who have only twelve voices. Everything is audible and balanced. As was customary at the time, the solo voices are part of the choir and blend remarkably well into the flawless overall sound… One cantata should be singled out: ‘Jesus Christus, unser Heiland’ (TVWV 1:976 for the third Easter Sunday after Trinity), for here the striking number symbolism alone is captivating… For this piece alone, the purchase of these CDs with nine cantatas was worthwhile.”
