Simon Heighes rolls up his sleeves to investigate the available recordings of Bach's Magnificat and makes a personal recommendation.

Are we guessing Gardiner? :)

Gardiner or Herreweghe or ........ hopefully not Suzuki, no he couldn't, could he?

Perhaps neither of these, Sean - although I do love the versions by Herreweghe, Gardiner and Suzuki, I think the version by Philippe Pierlot is particularly outstanding.

I am not familiar with that recording Paul, all will be revealed in the morning. I am really looking forward to it.

AVERT YOUR EYES IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT HERE
Well done Paul. Pierlot is in first place. Herreweghe was an alternate choice and he gave a special mention to the Suzuki and Hickock recordings. If I had to choose between them I'd pick the Herreweghe. I happen to feel that the Gardiner is very special indeed.
And it's Schubert"s D959 next week, wonderful.

Interesting; I have not come across Hickox before in this work.
