Nov. 30, Michel Corboz conducting in Suntory Hall -- High Mass in B Minor, BWV 232 (Johann Sebastian Bach, 1685-1750) featuring Valerie Gabail, Margriet van Reisen, Topi Lehtipuu and Marcos Fink
Michel Corboz realized the mass as a human testament of faith, a joyous affirmation rather than a solemn and portentous musical monument. This music made palpable the personal intimacy of worship. It did not become very intense and certainly it did not become very loud, but it achieved a telling musical capacity.
