I'm interested in the Mass, Christmas Oratorio and Matt's Passion. Great prices but still close to a hundred bucks for the downloads.
I recall being very impressed with the warm. transparent and perfectly balanced projection of orchestra and choir while listening a Richer Bach highlights lp. (A lot art?)
I've listened to a few modern performances from Marriner's to Gardiner's to Suzuki's to samples of Butt. Apart from the Christmas Oratorio I don't know the music well enough to make any educated decisions.
Do you Bach fanatics think the Richter still communicates?
