These quotes are all from Gramophone reviews about the discs in this set when first released individually : "sensitive, authoritative and perfectly gauged performances, imaginatively registered and stunningly recorded ... These are distinguished performances indeed".

"Here is Koopman on top form: here is Bach playing distinguished by its freshness, vitality and magnetism."

"Koopman has that something special. So special, in fact, that comparisons are inappropriate."
