It was a good idea to assemble three pieces associated with Bach’s first Christmas at Leipzig. The Cantata No. 63 and the earlier E flat version of the Magnificat were both performed at Leipzig on Christmas Day, 1723, and it may well be that the D major Sanctus was also sung at the same services. Not all of the music, though, was newly written for the 1723 Festival. The Cantata was already in existence perhaps as much as ten years earlier when Bach may have performed it at Halle as his trial piece for the post of organist of the Liebfrauenkirche in which he was interested. There are notable differences between the E flat version of the celebrated Magnificat and the later, more frequently performed version in D major. Two of the most conspicuous of them are the use of recorders in the earlier setting – these were later replaced by two oboes d’amore – and the inclusion of four short Christmas interpolations; two of these are for four-strand vocal texture, another for five voices with violin obbligato and a fourth for soprano, bass and continuo.
The instrumental playing…is gracefully shaped. Trumpets – four of them – and timpani sound well with the single-string ensemble of the New London Consort and there are pleasing contributions from violinists Pavlo Beznosiuk and Lucy Hill, and cellist Richard Tunnicliffe.
Philip Pickett’s direction is light-spirited and brisk without being hurried…I shall certainly want to return to the singing of Elisabeth Scholl and of Paul Agnew, who is one of the most expressive Bach tenors around at the moment.– Nicholas Anderson
