This is the edition to own as indicated below:
(Bach Akademie)The Performer: Masterfully curated by conductor Helmut Rilling, who directed most of the vocal and large-scale works.The Sound: Consistently warmer, robust modern instrument performances with a professional, uniform production.Pros: Highly cohesive artistic vision, excellent vocal casting, and incredible liner notes. It is essentially the gold standard for cantatas on modern instruments.
Brilliant Classics (Complete Bach Edition)The Performer: A mix-and-match effort utilizing various European ensembles—largely featuring period instruments and historically informed performance (HIP) practices.The Sound: Can be slightly uneven. Some discs are absolute gems (especially the secular cantatas and keyboard works), while others can be occasionally underwhelming
Condition is very good- cds are clean with minimal to no scuffs. Booklet shows wear with some owner notations and broken middle seam, though still intact. Outer box has partially split seams, but functions well and can be fixed with tape if desired
