This 11CD set brings together the music which Johann Sebastian Bach wrote for the celebration of the Nativity, the most important feast of the liturgical year. As Cantor of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig Bach had to write a Cantata for each Sunday, and the Christmas Season inspired him to write some of his most famous, festive and jubilant Cantatas. This set contains the complete Christmas Oratorio, other Advent and Christmas Cantatas and organ works based on the well known Christmas melodies, such as Nun Komm der Heiden Heiland, In Dulci Jubilo and Von Himmel Hoch da Komm Ich Her. • Excellent performances by the Dresdner Kreuzchor, Holland Boys Choir and Netherlands Bach Collegium, soloists Arleen Auger, Peter Schreier, Theo Adam and organist Stefano Molardi.
