"…the chamber choir is finely disciplined and light on its collective feet, the orchestra has good period manners and conductor Adam Fischer provides firm and keenly motivated direction. Baritone Thomas Quasthoff is in a league of his own." (BBC Music)

"…the chamber choir is finely disciplined and light on its collective feet, the orchestra has good period manners and conductor Adam Fischer provides firm and keenly motivated direction. Baritone Thomas Quasthoff is in a league of his own: there's an intensity to his lyricism that ruses to a sense of wonder as he contemplates the marvels of the natural world, and throughout his singing is purposeful and direct. The filming of this live concert is entirely straightforward and without any fancy camerawork. No extras attached to the DVD, but there's a good general introduction to the piece contained in the accompanying booklet."
