After the very successful album with the B minor Mass (“the most beautiful recording of this work currently in existence,” according to the Rheinische Post) Václav Luks and his Collegium 1704 ensemble return to Johann Sebastian Bach.

Joined by Xenia Löffler, the solo oboist of AKAMUS Berlin and the renowned soprano Anna Prohaska, Luks presents a deluxe setup for a programme of concertos and cantatas in which the oboe plays a prominent role.

"The orchestral playing under Václac Luks is delicately supportive, at all times attentive and neatly moulded to the soloists’ moves. Löffler’s wondrous playing deserves nothing less, though." — Gramophone Magazine, December 2018
