What sets this one apart are Frans Brüggen's  soloists, who range from excellent to extraordinary. Maria Cristina Kiehr is a marvel: using barely a drop of vibrato, she is very expressive and  perfectly in tune. Ian Bostridge uses a smidgen too much vibrato, but his  beautiful tone and subtle, committed delivery are on full display. Most striking  of all is Brüggen's Evangelist. Nico van der Meel has a much lighter, whiter  voice than is usual in this role; many would dismiss him as a pale half-voice.  Yet whatever he lacks in sumptuous vocalism, he more than makes up in narrative  skill. This may not be great singing, but it is gripping storytelling. \u003ci\u003e-- Matthew Westphal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 074644654424\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0074644654424\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40686648590520,"sku":"CP-CKGS-1L5J","price":10.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/21NGRGGGYZL.jpg?v=1634176065","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/bach-st-matthew-passion-ari","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
