"Using boys really pays off when it comes to the soprano roles, sung by the exceptional Maximilian Kiener and Christian Fliegner, who add gorgeous tone and texture, searing clarity, perfect intonation and a good deal of passion." MUSICWEB, 5/2005
"Leonhardt in general has sought a closer approximation than Gardiner to the performing conditions that Bach at various times had at his disposal. The choir consists of all male voices, boys and men. The soloists, too, comprise an all-male team with two very talented trebles from the Tölz Boys' Choir taking the soprano music." ... "profoundly satisfying"
GRAMOPHONE MAGAZINE, 5/1990, p.101
