"The instrumentalists and 28-voice choir [in Bach's Mass in B Minor] performed in singular unity, with a supple, sublime tone. . . Music director Martin Pearlman deftly manipulated drama and catharsis as he conducted. He gave special emphasis to the intense chromaticism that often led into a flare of wild, divine joy. . . The circling power of Boston Baroque transported."
