"The Mass in B-Minor at Adolf Fredrik Church has become one of life's necessities. The mind and the senses are sharpened. The body and soul delight in the precision, the emotional and the extraordinary almost dancing easiness, which is so typical for the Bach Choir."

Dagens Nyheter, Stockholm, 30 December, 1998

"The singing of the Bach Choir was lively, beautifully shaped. In this respect among the finest live performances I have heard in this piece... Spareness and reserve were a blessing in such places as the start of the final Amen, where the Bach Choir's approach stressed the roots of this style of fugue in simple Renaissance polyphony."

The Sydney Morning Herald, 10 March, 1997

"I've heard long, arduous Messiahs, flabby, wobbly Messiahs and little, spindly, uncoordinated 'authentic' Messiahs, but I don't care anymore, having finally heard it the way I always hoped it should go - burnished, precise, subtly and dynamically expressive and, most magically impressive, sounding as fresh as it must have when Mr Handel's last-minute ink was still drying."

The Advertiser, Adelaide, 7 March, 1997

"There are moments in life when music fills every cell in your body, you almost explode from happiness. To deliver comments at such occasions would not only be petty, but impossible, since you feel you are a part of it... Probably no-one of us attending the Bach Concert this Saturday in Adolf Fredrik's church will never again experience a performance of the B-minor Mass as important as this."
