The recording of Bach's Christmas Oratorio under the direction of René Jacobs was one of the discographic highlights of the year when it was published in 1997. Critics all over the world praised the "thoughtful interpretation", the "brilliant cast", the "expressiveness of the evangelist" as well as the "compelling performance of the singers". The recording has also won several prestigious awards - and has lost none of its rousing musical power to this day

For Christmas 2004 harmonia mundi decided to release a luxurious special edition of this recording. Extended by additional texts, this CD edition of the book with its numerous illustrations invites you to follow Bach's musical description of the Christmas events in pictures as well. This elaborately edited feast for the eyes will certainly become a collector's item for many, a cultural pleasure object.
