Performance:   Sonics:  
I listened to it in stereo only. What a recording ! Pure DSD I believe, this sounds even better than the Carmignola Vivaldi recordings, that are already really great. But this, oh my ! The performance is as good as I can imagine it, and the recording is so close to reality that I would give six stars if I could ! Helpful ?

Performance:   Sonics:
An absolutely beautiful disc. For anyone new to Bach this is a must. Angelika Kirchschlager has a beautifully agile and flexible voice and one can hear from her performance that she understands what she is singing about. Like with every other vocal show-off selection, she sings arias which are most suitable for her voice, generally on the slow side and the disc as a whole has a certain nocturnal quality.

Playing of the Venice Baroque Orchestra is equally superb. The recording is spacious and natural (in MC) and the acoustics of the recording venue are well captured. Lush orchestral sound is a perfect match to her dark voice.
