About "Grosse Messe 1739 für Bach und Luther"
​
Thüringer Allgemeine (read the full article here)
​
"This masterpiece was achieved by the brilliant organist and conductor Wouter Dekoninck. And with him, the Hildebrandt Consort from Belgium, which plays in the highest league internationally"
​
"It opens with the Prelude in E-flat major BWV 552, performed by Dekoninck with a vivid articulation and shiny sound on the large Trost organ."
​
"[...] after about two hours of high enjoyment and deep spiritual immersion, this 'Große Messe' came to an end."
"The audience thanked Hildebrandt Consort with long, repeatedly trampling applause."

Klassiek Centraal

"Wouter Dekoninck is a man with a mission."

"The hall was sold out long in advance and expectations were high after Jean Rondeau's previous concert. The answer can only be positive: Sunday 23 October was an afternoon of top-notch baroque."
