«The instrumentalists of Gli Incogniti are renowned for their spiced interpretations, so it’s no surprise they play without a whiff of formulaic safety, but nonetheless the bold colours remain firmly in the service of the mood of the text. Amandine Beyer’s violin obbligato weeps softly in conversation with Stephan Van Dyck in the lament ‘Wein, ach, wein jetzt um die Wette’; the partnership of Anne Magouët and oboist Antoine Torunczyk has compelling sincerity in ‘O Golgatha! Platz herber Schmerzen’. The dozen singers of Ensemble Jacques Moderne produce a fulsomely textured choral sound, and perhaps the doleful suspense generated by the final chorus ‘O Traurigkeit, o Herzeleid!’ is the most revealing clue to what Bach gleaned from this score.»
