McCall says "This is not Bach: I guess that everyone has a story with Bach: musicians, music lovers, classical players, improvisers, composers, rock as well as folk musicians. Most of these stories probably start with a recording that was playing at home, and very likely it was the Goldberg Variations played by Glenn Gould. Or the Cello suites played by Pablo Casals, Henryk Szeryng playing the Chaconne or Willem Mengelberg conducting the St. Matthew Passion. Maybe it was Stokowski’s arrangement of Toccata and Fugue in D minor. Some probably don’t even know that they are hearing a Bach tune when listening to Paul Simon’s American Tune or Paul McCartney’s Blackbird. However, I did not have this early positive exposure to Bach’s music — on the contrary, I was scared of it. The first time I played Bach was at the age of 12, at the National Youth Competition in Germany. I performed the E-flat major Sonata with my father accompanying me on the piano. The jury had only two comments: ‘find a better pianist’ and ‘this is not Bach’. So here is the result of my journey… so far. And for the first time, people might be right in saying: This is not Bach! Indeed, it is not. But it is his spirit, and that’s what matters most to me."

(...) For many, the simple crux of the matter will be: How does it sound? Well, I can be pretty brief on that. These are all first-rate musicians, playing on first-rate instruments, and recorded as though they are playing for you in your listening environment. Better still, as if you are sitting in the Waalse Kerk in Amsterdam, The Netherlands (The church of the Protestant Walloons and later the French Huguenots, who had fled to Protestant Holland). No matter the pecking order in the Concertgebouw Orchestra’s flute section, I found all three playing, like the rest of their colleague musicians, exceptionally well.
To this, it ought to be added that Brendon Heinst’s engineering is at an equal artistic level, giving the players sufficient air around them, cleverly using the church’s acoustics, whilst avoiding disturbing reflections from empty-church walls. (...)
