Great recommendation! Sampson's soprano voice is flawless and seemingly limitless. There is no hint of strain anywhere, just perfection. It's almost unnatural. If I had to nitpick, I'd say that the instruments are a bit too recessed, but I understand the engineers were highlighting an extraordinary vocal performance. Sampson deserves to sit by Gould in any serious collection of Bach recordings.
