Following on the heels of the practically definitive Cantus Cölln performance of Buxtehude's Membra Jesu Nostri, this Atma Classique disc featuring Les Voix Baroques – a sort of all-star assemblage of early music vocalists – has a tough row to hoe. The singing – as one might expect from talents such as Suzie LeBlanc and Catherine Webster – is indeed excellent throughout, but there remain two significant problems with this recording, the first being the thin and rather scrawny recording, not helped by what sounds like a rather bare-bones approach to continuo.
