Karl Richter’s legendary Bach choral recordings did much to encourage a widespread reappraisal of how this music should be performed. Here we have a 180g vinyl 3LP reissue of Richter and the Munchener Bach-Orchester’s performance of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio BWV 248 (Weihnachts-Oratorium). “If the Mass in B minor is a compilation on the loftiest conceptual level – honed and crafted as the zenith of Bach’s creative life – then the Christmas Oratorio stands as a compilation of a quite different kind, a practical harvesting of six specific cantatas to be performed on the feast days of Christmas 1734 and the New Year (Gramophone).
