Back home and listening to:
Bach - Cantatas BWV 169 & 82 + 543 + 662, 663, 664 Le Banquet Céleste Damien Guillon Maude Gratton Qobuz 24/96  New release. Good sound and playing, and Guillon sings 'Ich habe genug' very well. Following his recording of J. S. Bach’s solo cantatas for alto BWV 35 and 170 (issued in 2009), countertenor Damien Guillon has continued his work of research and interpretation, devoting a second album to the Cantata BWV 169 for alto solo and to the famous BWV 82 Ich habe genug ; though better known in its 1727 version for bass, from 1735 onwards it was also performed by an alto voice. To complement this cantata programme, organist Maude Gratton performs Bach’s Prelude and Fugue BWV 543, as well as the chorales Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr, BWV 662, BWV 663 & BWV 664. © Alpha Classics

Oxalys - A Conversation Between Friends
  We bought this 6-CD box after a concert a couple of months ago. It is a really great ensemble. A very diverse repertoire is offered here, well recorded.
