Bach - B Minor Mass - Vox Luminis - Wigmore Hall

29 June 2023, 21:00

I travelled to Malonne, near Namur, in Belgium the morning after our performance with Les Talens Lyriques at La Seine Musicale. I was in Belgium to rehearse Bach’s B Minor Mass with the choir and orchestra of Vox Luminis at their rehearsal headquarters in Wallonia.

We subsequently travelled to London and performed Bach’s B Minor Mass at Wigmore Hall.

Robert Hughill described a performance with

"sympathetic trumpets (Rudolf Lörinc, Russell Gilmour, William Russell) who made everything so much more technicolour yet never over-dominated" - Robert Hughill

Unanimity of purpose and style: Vox Luminis @VLuminis, artistic director Lionel Meunier, in a performance of Bach's Mass in B minor at @wigmore_hall notable for its style, integrity and sheer musicality. My concert review:https://t.co/RlodxwPncy

I will be joining Vox Luminis again in Belgium next week for their recording of Schütz’s Christmas Story.
