The grueling wars over the proper historical performance of Bach's motets seem to have given way to a grudging acceptance that justification for most methods can be found in documents of Bach's time, and that includes strictly old-school performances like this men-and-boys item from the New College Choir of Oxford under Edward Higginbottom, accompanied only by an organ continuo that stays very far in the background and seems to be there primarily to keep the young choristers on pitch. It's a bit unusual to hear the motets done this way, but one theorist noted (disapprovingly) that such performances were common in the middle of the 17th century. At any rate, what matters most is that performances of any kind clarify the dense textures of these works, which combine the deep expressiveness of Bach's religious language with polyphonic complexity that can seem unrelenting if the lines start to run together. Higginbottom gets a warm, lyrical sound out of the choir's boy sopranos that doesn't sound much like any other group, but each line nevertheless emerges clearly from the texture, even with a choir that's larger than the norm. The choir does not have the ripping power of Germanic all-adult groups, but a joyous text like that of Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied, BWV 225 (sample track 19), comes through with a vigor rare in recordings with child singers. This is a recording that plainly reflects a great deal of work, done without losing sight of musical goals, and the singers, apparently recorded on home ground at New College (this is not expressly stated but appears to be true from one of the booklet photos), receive fine engineering support from Novum.
