Bach: Une cantate imaginaire - REVIEW

Bach: Une cantate imaginaire - sinfonias, arias and chorales from various cantatas
Orfeo 55, Nathalie Stutzmann (contralto & director)
DG (distribution: Discovery Records) 4810062
A delight from beginning to end. Stutzmann has compiled a generous, intelligent selection of jewels that both rewards continuous listening and provides an easy 'first choice' for anyone wanting a single 'best-of' compilation. She is in wonderful voice, and secures lithe, energetic and poised performances from what is clearly an excellent ensemble. Recommended with all possible enthusiasm.
