Bach's motets, most of them composed during the 1730s, occupy a rather special position in his output: nowhere else did he
devote such meticulous attention to the musical expression of the word; never did he exploit so great a variety of
tone-colours, texture and effects. And just look at the calibre of the soloists on this release from 1997.
