"...it is impossible to sing this part better and more convincingly than Markus Brutscher did in his day. Brutscher's interpretations are also outstanding in the two tenor arias newly added in 1725, which are performed here in all their dramatic glory... Collegium Cartusianum accompanies perfectly, the Cologne Chamber Choir performs wonderful turba choruses, Peter Neumann always finds the right tempi, and the stereo recording is both spacious and transparent. A sonic delight and, at the same time, an invitation to experience the Passion story emotionally." (Klassik Festival)
