$American Classical Orchestra Performs Bach\'s B Minor Mass$

NEW YORK - American Classical Orchestra Performs Bach's B Minor Mass
Conductor Thomas Crawford led tonight's glorious, miraculous, and formidable concert by the ACO, the ACO Chorus, and world-class vocal soloists. Crawford's interpretation of Bach's B Minor Mass in Lincoln Center's renowned Alice Tully Hall expressed and honored Bach's monumental musical work with its intricate complexity, profound spirituality, and sublime beauty.
Historical Authenticity
Notably, the Mass was performed with period orchestral instruments, such as in the time of Bach; the ACO is known for its attention to detail and use of authentic instruments. Tonight's stage projected unparalleled richness and authenticity thanks to exceptional soloists, the Chorus, and the orchestra. An imaginative listener might travel in time to the sounds of the oboe d'amore, natural trumpets and horn, baroque flutes, judicious use of vibrato, and the warm resonances of gut strings. These characteristic attributes of the ACO created a unique timbral palette and historical authenticity that enriched the experience for both performers and audiences.

Reverence and Awe
Tonight's choir and vocal soloists were superb, responding to Maestro Crawford's subtle, precise cues against the gentle strains of the organ continuo and orchestra. Also notable were Executive Director David Larkin's excellent program notes and the B Minor Mass texts and translations.
