I suppose major problems will be the result.

Not really, that was just a major typo of this reviewer; the performace doesn't have any problem at all, major o minor.

Sarting this morning with that as well!
A recent acquisition included in this box set that can be found as a bargain in few places:

But how to cope with René Jacobs' "contribution" in these recordings?

Q

This is a tremendous recording and, IMO, not even Jacobs is a real problem after all.

BTW, it's quite impressive to read the listing of performers involved in this recording: a true dream team. But I finally think the star here it's Mr. Leonhardt who gets an impressive overall "Lutheran"/non-operatic sense through the entire performance. I mean clearly there are inner drama, calm and resignation, more than anxiety, desperation and blood.

Happy Easter, everyone!

For me, now:

Just last night I made a mental note to myself to listen to that very disc today; so thanks for the inadvertent reminder.

My own mental note was: to listen to Elizabeth Farr's disc of lute-harpsichord music (which includes BWV 995 & BWV 1006a)... and I am doing it right now.

And how is it?

Having listened to it this morning, I do entirely agree.  In essence this is the Matthäus that comes with the Leonhardt/ Harnoncourt cantata series.

Sung in German but not Mozart's arrangement.

Sarge

[Antoine Marchand]

And how is it?

Excellent and this adjective covers the instrument, the sound quality and the interpretation. I'm quite sure Bach wrote this music for the lute-harpsichord.
