I own the magificent recording by Ian Bosteridge of Cantata 82. No doubt this record company was hoping to capitalize on the popularity of Bosteridge's disc or the discs of other countertenors who have already recorded these cantatas with greater sensitivity and success (Scholl, for example). Matthew White does not measure up to the current standard of countertenor and this disc disappoints. His voice lacks a variety of vocal colours and he pushes, almost muscles his way through some of the beautiful German laments with little awareness of the emotional power of this music. It does not help that he is supported by a thin and directionless chamber ensemble.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good singing, incredible playing Nov 9 2011
By Baroke - Published on Amazon.com
My previous favorite of this gorgeous piece was the Lorraine Hunt Lieberson recording, and nothing can replace her once-in-a-lifetime interpretation. But this recording adds an energy and liveliness that is too often neglected in Bach and is what makes his music - even at its seemingly most tragic - so inspiring. I was never a particular fan of original instruments, but this group is incredible. It plays music that can easily drag or become lugubrious with a lilting, almost dance-like quality. I'm not sure if this is due to a different view of the music or to the physical characteristics of original instruments, or both. All I know is that when Matthew White sings "Ich Habe Genug," there is an optimism and poignancy to the statement that other interpretations lack - the light shines clearly through the darkness. Considering Bach's religious outlook, I think this is important, and it makes me turn to this recording over and over.

This compilation received the Cannes Classical award. I believe it was well deserved. I have been lucky enough to witness his live performances in Portland Oregon with the Portland Baroque Orchestra. His ability to express emotion in choral works is exemplary. If you ever get a chance to see him in concert, I would highly recommend it. In the meantime, just enjoy this cd.
5.0 out of 5 stars too gorgeous for words Nov 9 2004

In the world of "historically informed" performance, this is a gem. The ensemble shapes phrases beautifully and the singing of Matthew White is lush. This quickly became one of my favorite recordings.
