'Natural acoustics' has been the basis in the process of producing this CD. Bach-Bukowski has been recorded -singing and piano at the same time- with only one adapted stereo-microphone, and no sound-editing has taken place. The equipment was specially developed by Lujo van Gestel using techniques based on old physical laws still vivid, for example in the soefism. This way the 3 dimensionality of the natural sound remains saved in the reproduction.

Volkskrant, August 7, 2003, Roland de Beer
"...subtle tonal coherance......The result moves, and sounds more sincere than all Bach arrangements of the polished Hilliards, Jacques Loussiers and Swingle Singers together."
 
NRC-Handelsblad, August 5, 2003, Kester Freriks
"...Van Ekeren reaches a great hight in bringing together this composer and author. Bach and Bukowski show a relationship of soul, which is an exciting surprise."
 
Het Parool, July 5, 2003, Bob Frommé
"....The cd is insane....You cannot believe what you hear....."
 
Het Parool, June 6, 2003, Jos Bloemkolk
"Each time Van Ekeren plays the complete piece of Bach and sings to it the complete poem. And it seems as if they are made for each other...."
