Packaged in casebook packaging this release contains a 28 page booklet with notes by John Eliot Gardiner and texts in German, English and French. Review Following their acclaimed release of Bach's Ascension Oratorio, the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists have recorded the Easter Oratorio, BWV 249, one of Bach's less-performed choral works. The Easter Oratorio was composed originally as a simple cantata, and was later revised into a more polished piece with a meditative emphasis and underlying narrative flavor. The work is paired with Bach's Actus tragicus, BWV 106. --WFMT, April 2014
