The intervention of tenor Guy Cutting provides a welcome contrast: his voice, light but incisive, emerges from the choral fabric naturally and grants a touch of human warmth to pieces that could fall into abstraction.

The tenor Guy Cutting was startlingly impressive in his dramatic aria ‘Ich will nur dir zu Ehren leben’ (Thy name I live to praise and honour), a real display piece that had all the intensity of a rage aria and was here despatched with tremendous virtuosity.

Finally, what more can be said about the luminous but nevertheless virile tenor Guy Cutting, other than that, admirable in the arias, sensitive “sayer” in the recitatives, gifted in addition with a limpid diction and an acute sense of the narrative, he embodies an Evangelist clear of spirituality?

And the tenor Guy Cutting … sings the role of the evangelist, including the arias, as soulfully and in the moment as one could only wish for. In the aria “Frohe Hirten” the singer and solo flautist scatter the coloratura like snow crystals without distracting from the intimacy of the image.

Guy Cutting was a strong toned, vibrant Evangelist who, nevertheless, brought some lovely moments of lyrical beauty to the music to. Tenor Guy Cutting got his aria moment, his lovely fluid yet vibrant tone contrasting with the fine flute playing of Lisa Beznosiuk Guy Cutting’s Evangelist in this cantata was notable for his beautifully shape, mellifluous phrases.
