Bright and beautiful5
This a wonderful CD. The music is bright, lively and very relaxing. It's definitely a celebration of Bach. It's a wonderful way to escape the stress and problems of everyday life. Don't let the German titles of the pieces scare you off. Anyone who likes classical music should enjoy this CD. It's also an excellent CD for someone who's just getting into classical music.

Incredible playing, beautiful songs!5
Christopher Parkening is a genius. If anyone doubts that, I give and advice: hear this album. His technique is impressive, his notes are so clean! And his feeling, his passion in his playing is very beautiful, it really represents the soul of it, I'm sure that Bach would be very pleased and proud of Parkening's playing.
AMAZING!!!!!

Serene and Lovely5
A beautiful recording, made be a superb artist who clearly reveres this sublime music and plays is accordingly. The recording of Bach's "Sleepers Awake" is especially esquisite - it's so lovely I find myself pausing in the middle of whatever I'm doing when it plays to enjoy a small wave of serenity, and reverence for the unsurpassed beauty of this music. It can bring tears to the eyes even after a hundred listenings. Thanks, Christopher for your artistry! Your music plays often in our home, and sets a lovely, serene, and calming tone.
