Münchener BachChor, Münchener BachOrchester, Karl Richter - Ehre Sei Gott In Der Höhe Festliche Weihnachtschöre Von Bach Händel

Review by Andy Collins

The album Ehre Sei Gott In Der Höhe Festliche Weihnachtschöre Von Bach Händel by Münchener BachChor, Münchener BachOrchester, Karl Richter is a stunning collection of festive Christmas choral music. The album features some of the most beloved works of Bach and Händel, performed by the talented Münchener BachChor and BachOrchester, under the direction of the renowned conductor Karl Richter.

The album opens with Bach's cantata "Christen, ätzet diesen Tag" and immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. The choir's powerful and precise singing, combined with the orchestra's expressive playing, creates a truly majestic sound that captures the spirit of the season. The album includes many other well-known pieces, such as Händel's "Messiah" and Bach's "Christmas Oratorio", all performed with the same level of skill and passion.

The album also features some lesser-known works, such as Bach's "Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied" and Händel's "Dixit Dominus", which add a fresh perspective to the collection. The choir's diction and phrasing are impeccable, and the orchestra's accompaniment is always perfectly balanced, creating a rich and full sound that is a pleasure to listen to.
