Dunedin Consort's Christmas Oratorio flying off the shelves, but I hesitate

Only a handful of singers. I've listened to samples on earbuds and I'm wondering if it sounds "fuller" on you big systems?

My favorite is Schmidt-Gaden's on dhm

Great reviews on Amazon.

"Perhaps the idea of performing Bach with reduced forces repels you, and you've been put off by thin-sounding vocals, tinny strings, and lack of "oomph"; this latest recording by Dunedin Consort is likely to correct that misperception."

That HMU recording is also my favourite - Timbo in Oz 16:04:16 12/20/16 (0)
I have the boxed vinyl set.

I hear Fritz Werner's Erato recording is still available! [nt] - Chris from Lafayette 15:21:16 12/19/16 (3)
- Do I want it? Not familiar. Kuijken's Bach Mass is on sale at eclassical tonight but now we're talking one - jdaniel@jps.net 18:40:02 12/19/16 (2)
  to a part. The soprano sounds gorgeous but the minimal staffing seems a bit extreme, though the bare-boned style might clarify harmonies and help me grasp the piece better.
  
  The Suzuki really doesn't do it for me.
  - Sounds pretty good to me... - Ivan303 09:41:54 12/20/16 (0)
    Just streaming via QOBUZ.
    
    Good enough to to tell the difference streaming Mac Mini to DAC/Headphone amp vs. SONOS Connect to same DAC/Headphone amp.
    
    Mac Mini is MUCH better source than SONOS Connect on good material.
  - You probably don't - the Werner performances were recorded between 1955 and 1970 - Chris from Lafayette 00:18:20 12/20/16 (0)
    However, I used to love Werner's St. John Passion with Helmut Krebs and Frederike Sailer (loved her voice!) - but I haven't heard these performances in decades.
